    Food was over salted, portions were small, medium steak cooked rare (sent back, was brought back supposedly brought up to temp, but was still rare). For a $150 prix fixe with no beverage pairing, this was absolutely not worth it. The manager did provide a 25% discount but the holiday experience was ruined. The staff were kind and decorations beautiful, standout of the evening.

    Absolutely one of the best meals we have had while traveling. The food was exquisite, the service superb and the ambiance beautiful! Music wasn’t too loud so you could talk comfortably with your party. We simply can’t say enough good things about it. What a truly special Christmas dinner! We will be back often! 👍❤️

    We had the Christmas day feast here for.6 pepple and thought the overall quality of the experience was great., due to a very festive holiday ambience with good choices for the set menu and friendly, but professional service.

    Absolutely excellent experience and meal. Probably the best pork chop we have ever had! Service was fantastic from the moment we walked in to this inviting space. Friendly and extremely professional. We had not been to The Cavalier in a few years and were very pleased that it’s still top shelf! We plan to visit again soon.

    I don't think I've ever received such great service from a restaurant in my 45 years of life. Everyone was so accommodating. The food was amazing. Portions are not oversized, so we didn't walk out stuffed and feeling weighed down. Fantastic drinks. Lovely ambiance (lights not too bright). Expensive but worth every penny.

    We were running a little late (party of 2) and the restaurant was wonderfully flexible. Our complicated cocktail took a bit longer than expected and they were comped! The service was fantastic, the people super friendly, the food was amazing and the vibe was perfect for the holidays. Can’t wait to return!

    We loved the lamb ribs and the mushroom gnocchi. My server was excellent and her barbera suggestion was perfect for my beef tartare. This was my first time there in a few years and I’m so glad I made it back. The space is beautiful and location is perfect for me coming from the east bay because it’s so close to BART. I won’t be waiting so long to return this time
