Date Night: Cava 22

Sunday night I went to Cava 22 in the Mission, conveniently on 22nd and Mission. I had anticipated it to be a bit nicer than it was, because of the reviews I read online.

We started with a guacamole appetizer, which was so disappointing. They had fluffed it up with either sour cream or mayo, and it did not compare to my good guac recipe. I was so disappointed with it that there was over half of the guacamole left uneaten, which is a huge deal. I don't like wasting food, especially guacamole.

I ordered chili and lime marinated prawns, with a side of vegetables and beans. I was unhappy with the frozen vegetable medley, but the prawns were delicious.

Dessert was tiramissu, which was the part of the meal in my opinion.
Service: very slow
Food: 4 in 1-5 scale
price: $$ we got one appetizer, two entrees, and dessert for total of $45.
Atmosphere: Sit down and be served. Cava 22 also has a large bar, but I didn't order any drinks.
Cleanliness: (often a deciding factor when eating in la Mission) It was very clean and I didn't feel like I would find a bug mixed in with my beans.

I'll be going again, because I have another restaurant.com gift card to use. This time I could bring 1 or 2 more people along...takers?
