The Cave has been opened since the 1970s, which is quite remarkable. My first time at this establishment and we loved the different interior. Staff were extremely friendly, seeing how we came just an hour before closing. I had the fish and chips. Good portion and price.
It was my birthday meal, and it came out to be totally disappointing! First, I highly doubt there are flees/bedbugs on the sofas there, both me and boyfriend’s legs were terrible itching when we were there! Service speed was terrible slow, and the waitress forgot whatever I asked for and didn’t show up after handed the menu to me. The steak came out as a burger and just has salty taste, Salty only! Salad has no taste at all, $5 in Superstore you could get 3 times more. Definitely would never be there again. Bread wasn’t warmed at all, and sweet fries overcooked and salty. I’m sorry to say that, but any fast food restaurant in Saskatoon got better taste than this! I really don’t want to pay tips as the customer service was terrible slow, and I got ignored. I won’t be back and I won’t recommend any of my friends and families to be there! I don’t know how this restaurant can be existed, but definitely never be back! I don’t understand why nobody telling the truth here?!
The atmosphere is a strong 4.5. The decor is undoubtedly unique and has old school charm, plus the lighting is relaxing. Our server was good. The food is, however, a 2.5 to maybe a light 3. I had the creamsicle cocktail, which was pretty bland. We shared the stuffed mushrooms, which we all agreed was the best part of the meal. The chicken souvlaki was fine, but nothing special. My partners found their dishes, baked Alfredo and pickerel respectively, also serviceable, but bland. The baklava was fine. The food is just generally uninspiring. Although I think the kitschy atmosphere is fun, ultimately what makes you return is the food, so we have no plans to go back.
The food is amazing, I normally order pizzas. But what is excellent here is the service and above that, the environment. The unique cave-like atmosphere invites you to come back again, and again.
A solid 4 * Food was great. So was the server. Location is easily accessible on 8th street. Both lounge and restaurant parts. Though you can get drinks at the restaurant side too. Its such a maze inside though ! Might be hard for Claustrophobic people. But that's the point of the restaurant to be called cave Parking could be an issue. I had to wait 10 min before I got a spot as someone left. Overall, must visit restaurant in Toon town
I dare you to not smile when walking in or around this restaurant. Old school funky architecture mixed with what feels like an archeological dig site. Fun and private booths sunk into the cave like structure is a perfect way to enjoy food from the vast menu. This is definitely a place to dine for special occasions or when you’re feeling adventurous.
Great atmospheric experience, but would not expect the food to match the price tag. We basically ordered 4 appetizers and the entire entre plus a pasta. All meat based meals were overcooked and tough. Caveat, I like my meat medium-rare Otherwise, sauce was salty but decent tasting. Dinner Rolls were "store bought" run of mill bread. Experience was enjoyable, but I would not visit the place for food. The price target reflects just that. Not expensive, but pricey for the food quality.
The food was actually good especially the French onion soup. But giving this restaurant 1 star because of the terrible service and we feel like we were being played by the waitress! She's the old blonde lady. So not flexible with customers. Says "No" a lot. Hope she doesn't have kids. So anyway, we ordered the baked chicken fettuccini and it comes with a free orzo soup. But we didn't notice so we didn't mention it to the waitress. The waitress also didn't ask us if we wanted the orzo soup or a French onion soup which would cost us an additional $2.50. So we were served with our baked chicken fettuccini without the soup. Only after we realized that hey, we think we were supposed to be getting a soup, did we ask for the menu again and pointed out that we were supposed to be served with soup. The waitress said that because we didn't say anything so she didn't serve us. Well, wasn't she supposed to either ask us if we wanted it OR serve it anyway because it comes with the meal? PLUS, because we ordered the soup AFTER the baked chicken fettuccini came, we were charged with the original price of the soup which was $8.50, instead of the $2.50 change from orzo to french onion. Not only that, on the menu, their baked chicken fettuccini costs $19.95, but we were charged with additional $1 because we ordered BAKED chicken fettuccini. We literally ordered off the menu and we were being charged more?! When we told her about this, she just shrugged and said that that's what they normally do. THIS RESTAURANT IS RIPPING CUSTOMERS OFF!!! Maybe the customers aren't reading their bill, or maybe they saw that we were Asians and possibly couldn't read English or maybe they didn't realize that Asians are terribly good at math. They're messing with the wrong customers!!!
I entered the restaurant alone at 6:30 in the evening. I was carrying heavy things. After being questioned by a female receptionist in a red dress, I was left out in the cold. She returned only ten minutes later, but gave priority to receiving the four people who came after me. She didn't lead me into the lobby until the male waiter at the front desk reminded her. However, the lobby was not full of customers. I don't know what she did when she ignored me. After my friend came, we ordered Veal Cordon Bleu and Mezethaki, and then we entered a long wait. Except for the two buns before the meal, we waited 40 minutes for the formal dinner. The dishes I can only say are average. The main dish is baked potatoes with bacon and custard sauce. This is a very difficult process. If you don’t peel the potatoes with your hands, it’s hard to put them together. Mezethaki’s The main dish was pork tenderloin, which was soft but not juicy. I guess it was because of long-term freezing. The side dishes included roasted green peppers and mushrooms, but they were too greasy and salty. Veal’s main dish is fried lamb balls wrapped in flour starch, with lamb intestines and wrapped cheese in the middle. I praise this idea, but in fact it is served warm when it is served, and the cheese inside is completely cooled after being quickly cooled. Overwhelming the original taste of mutton, so it can only be said to be a failure. We also ordered Dry ribs. I can only say that they are really dry. The time they first came up was better because they were hot and crispy, but as they cool down, you will find that they are too dry, as if you are eating. Like dried meat, there is no taste of fat. By the way, the restaurant building, the cave itself is a very novel theme, but it is not a good choice for the lobby. Everyone’s words will have small echoes that make you feel noisy and headache, and I don’t know where and outside. With Unicom, you will suddenly feel cold air flowing into the restaurant, and the waiters are too busy. Even though the tables are not filled with customers, you can still see them shuttle back and forth, and there is no time to take care of you. In the end, the two of us spent 60. The male waiter at the front desk was a clever man. He gave us 14off for dinner after hearing that we waited forty minutes. His behavior saved the restaurant three stars. To sum up, a relatively ordinary Western restaurant has a low price-performance ratio. If you want to date, you can let them lead you to the cubicle, and the atmosphere will be very good. But for those who want to taste qualified food, he is not a good choice. By the way, it was 8:30 in the evening when we had dinner, which was too long.
We were there October 15 @4. We had a great experience. Our server was awesome, very helpful and friendly except for those two young ladies at front when we billed out they barely smile.
