    We were sat in the Cavern which was a lovely romantic setting, however the noise levels can become overwhelming depending on who is down there with you. Unfortunately we had a large group with a couple of very loud members which stopped the night from being a perfect night. Service & food were great

    Dear Vincent, Thank you for taking the time to review our restaurant! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our food and service!:) We do apologise for any inconvenience caused by noise levels by other groups. However, we would have been happy to have moved you to an alternative table or floor to enjoy the evening much better :) Wishing you all the best, La Caverna Team

    First time in La Caverna but won't be the last. Great service, friendly staff and good food. The early bird menu had a wide choice and was very good value for two and three courses. Thank you for seating us early on February 23rd out of the rain and wind.
