    Really enjoyed the Cavalier - not very busy for a Friday night but the Beets and Salmon were perfectly prepared. Recommend!

    Delicious food in a beautiful setting. Only downside was how cold the place was and a bit noisy.

    Very neat and eclectic bar and restaurant. Food was amazing. We had the gnocchi and lamb which were mouthwatering. Waiter and bartender were awesome. We really had a great experience. Will definitely do again.

    The flavors and textures of the deviled eggs were remarkable. I had the scallops for the main. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. Desert was sticky toffee pudding, something few restaurants can pull off, and the Cavalier once again knocked it out of the park. Portions for the mains are fairly small. This isn't a fault; everything I have tried on the menu is good, if not great, so more, smaller courses is the best way to enjoy this place. The waitstaff are delightful. Great attitudes, just the right level of attentiveness.

    This is one of my favorite restaurants in the city. I had my birthday dinner here last night and unfortunately had poor service. My table was a larger table so needed more attention and we all felt it was hard to get the waiters attention who also wasn’t that friendly. Hopefully I’ll have a better experience the next time I go back.
