Review


Visited Cave Cafe last week before my husband and I went on a paid tasting at Oak Winery.

When we asked the hostess for a seat, she asked if we'd like indoor or outdoor. I said "indoor because it's too cold outside." She told us nevermind because they didn't have any indoor seats available and that it was colder inside anyway.

Please, if you're going to have outside dining in January, turn your outdoor heaters on! We were seated in the shade and the umbrellas were up blocking the sun from reaching out table anyway. I was shivering so badly that my husband got my coat from the car for me. I heard another table ask for the only heater I saw to be brought to them and for their umbrella to be lowered.

As a Celiac, I wasn't confident that I'd be able to eat here as they don't have a marked menu. They have a shared fryer so anything fried was off limits. I ended up with the $23 mahi-mahi tacos which were very generously filled although a bit bland. My husband had the $19 Cubano panini.

Overall, it took about an hour from start to finish for our meal, so don't think you're going to come here for a quick bite before your tour. Give yourself ample time and maybe make reservations if you're going to eat here.

I cannot stress enough - bring a coat if you're going to eat here in winter. You will freeze without it.
