When only the best will do. – Despite the high prices, this is the place to eat French food around Hartford. Over the years, things change a bit, but basically, it's fabulous, rare food that you won't find elsewhere in the area, except, perhaps, occasionally at the Altnaveigh in Mansfield, CT, my second-favorite eating place. But Cavey's is one of a kind and worth the big bucks for that very special night out. Treat yourself sometime!
Just average.... – Decor: Old and dated. It leaves something to be desired. We understand the restaurant has been around for a very long time however the fake flowers and wall paper leave guest wanting an update Service: The service was average. We felt as if the server did her job, refilled wine, refolded napkins and delivered out meals however nothing out of the ordinary was given, No reccomendations no conversation not even a smile. And the service was a little on the slow side. It took a good 45 min after our drinks were... read more
Will consider return to French – Our daughter had the duck. It was a hit. If you have an a dietary request for an alternate item (ie. vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free), ask the reservationist to pass it on to the chef. All-in-all, the staff was very professional and very determined to make the experience memorable.
Great Food, Strange Atmosphere (French side) – OK, I will admit that I have only eaten in Cavey's French restaurant once so I am going to give it another chance, especially because I've heard such good things about the Italian side (such as the service is less snooty, and the place more upbeat and approachable). I have dined in some of the finest French restaurants in the country in both New York and Las Vegas (Jean George, le Bernardin, Bouley, Campagne in Seattle, the Picasso in Las Vegas, Le Chateau, Jean Louis in Greenwi... read more
Absolutely fantastic – Not a complaint (except for maybe the price).... extensive wine list, pleasant and knowledgable waitstaff, beautiful display of food, delicious flavors made with high quality ingredients. Would definitely return
Discrimination – I went into Cavey's on a Weds. night, to inquire about getting a menu. I live in Manchester, but had never been inside Cavey's before. My husband has been wanting to eat at Caveys for quite awhile and had always heard the best things about this place. His birthday is coming up this weekend, so I thought I would get a menu and check it out. I had just come from work and was not dressed up, but I didn't think this would be an issue, as I was ONLY stopping in for a quick minute for a menu. When I got into the e... read more
Tasty, but overpriced. – Due to the high remarks online about Cavey's, we expected a grand dinner out. It was, instead, underwhelming. (Mind you, we lived in Paris for 3 years and Thailand for 8 months, so we've had experience lately with elegant dining out.) The lights are much too bright. There is little character in the downstairs French restaurant. I have learned much from my French husband about what good dining is about, and the fact that the place was almost empty at 8pm on a Saturday night was not a good sign. It was... read more
This bicultural family-run restaurant serves Northern Italian dishes upstairs, classic French cuisine downstairs. – The Scene Run by a husband and wife team, Cavey's has practically been a local landmark since 1933. There's a romantic ambience downstairs, while upstairs, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with tall white candles and tablecloths. And though the upscale ambience may lend itself to a dress code; formal attire isn't required. The Food The French a la carte menu is seasonal, featuring specialties such as mint-... read more
gotta try it !! – One of the finest restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to experience. Deciding between the Italian upstairs or the French downstairs is almost as difficult as picking from all the choices on the extensive menus.
