Cavos

My Husband and I ate here last weekend and the food was absolutely Outstanding. 10/10. Excellent quality, beautifully presented, decent portion sizes, absolutely Wonderful. We were delighted with everything, from start to finish. The service was impeccable. Just the perfect amount of care and attention given to us, without it being over bearing. It was an incredible experience. I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt absolutely compelled to do so for this absolute Gem of a Restaurant, as it deserves all recognition. We can’t wait to go back!! Also - choose the Lamb for a main dish, because I come from England where we eat lamb all the time, and I have never tasted lamb cooked as beautifully as I ate here at Cavos. Thoroughly recommend!

Location! Location! Location! and Food!!! Directly at the Baldenysee with beautiful views and very good Mediterranean food. Unfortunately, the service is the slowest you can find…from starter to main courses 70min and then another 45min for dessert. Nobody really cares about you unless you raise your hand as you’re thirsty or (still) hungry. Either no kitchen/service coordinator or just not enough service people. Just let me know if you want some service coaching 😉

Some good parts : - nice location. The view and the terrace by the lake are really beautiful. - the owner seemed really nice. He welcomed us and also he stood up as we left which shows that he respects his guests. - good wine choices. - nice welcome ( small dishes served to welcome the guests). Bad parts: -the waiters were wearing their masks under the nose. -the table we were seated at was dirty. -the waiter seemed in a hurry like he just wanted us to finish already. - the tapas with 6 portions : prawns - a good amount of spice but they were not clean- the black part(excretory system of the animal was not taken out), beef carpaccio- no taste, no spices, tzatziki - good, strong flavor, tuna tartar - no flavor at all, no acidity to cook the raw tuna, grilled baby calamari - nicely cooked, manouri with beetroot - the pesto had no flavor, no salt. Good idea but no flavor at all. - main dishes : risotto with huge prawns and fish - aka the biggest disappointment. It cost 40 euro and had around 80g-100g risotto - which was no risotto at all. It was a rice stew like the ones my grandma used to make me but she would use salt and pepper. No taste at all. The big prawns was just half of a prawn with some bisque that was overly salted. Way way overly salted. The other fish was also drowned in salt. I must say I ate it because I didn't eat anything before as I was overly excited to try this restaurant. Kritharoto- a Greek pasta shaped like rice that should have the same coinsistancy as a risotto but was far from it. It was with sea fruits - again prawns that were not cleaned. Very salty. The sea fruit was not cleaned - we found sand in the plate. Conclusion : Far away from the reviews. Way to expensive and overly hyped. If you know your food you will not enjoy it. I would not have written this comment if there would be one or two mistakes as this happens in every business. However, we left 120 euros for 2 people and left feeling thirsty, hungry and disappointed so I had to write my honest opinion. I hope this comment is constructive.
