Reviews for Cafe La Cave in Des Plaines, IL
Amazing long standing restaurant that is a staple in the area. On the pricier side but we'll worth it. The name matches the... enterior. The main restaurant walls all look like a cave with dim lighting. The food is superior. It's also a great spot toeat and valet prior to a concert at All State Arena. Read more
I had to take time for this 5 star review; where do I begin? Walking in as a wedding guest, the facility is lovely, the tray... pass appetizers were delicious, and the staff was attentive and kind. When my elderly 88 yo Mom needed assistance, the greatestpeople came to her aid. Ramiro was a shining star and Randy seemed to have full command of the operation. the food wasabsolutely amazing! The service unparalleled! This place works like a fine watch! Not a beat out of time. We will come back toeat at the restaurant for sure, but if you are looking for a wedding facility you can have complete confidence that you havepicked the best of the best! Read more

This review is about a year late, but my wife and I couldn’t tell you how happy we were to have our wedding there. Honestly,... if I could give this place a 20/5 I would. The reason mainly being Randy. My wife and I couldn’t have been more grateful orappreciative about his passion and his help managing our big day. We ended up choosing all of the vendors off his list. Theyare truly the best of the best. I was stunned about how easy that made planning. The way he was able to help design and offersuggestions along the way helped so much. We had our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner there. For what we wanted and whatother venues were offering, Cafe La Cafe provided better quality and greater value. The food was absolutely amazing, the venueis stunning, and Randy helps tie everything together. Again, 20/5. Read more
This was a wonderful experience. I never really paid attention to this place but I had a Groupon for this restaurant and wanted... to try something new. I was pleasantly surprised, it was a cross between old-school Rat Pack hangout and a James Bond villainslair a'la Blofeld or Doctor No. The interior mimics the inside of a cave, thus the name La Cave. The table side service wasincredible, where wait staff brings your food on a cart. The patrons are truly a mixed crowd, some that would seem incompatibleon other venues, but all were welcomed equally. The food was classic steakhouse and all of my food selections were great. Thebar has to be the centerpieces and I wish I had a chance to sit there and have my Whiskey Sour there, pre-dinner but will do sonext time. Some would say this is a special occasion place, and a little pricey, but I think it could be a once a month sort ofestablishment; and you can't put a price on good and positive experiences. I would recommend to anyone to give this place a tryand definitely get a reservation because it was really hopping on a Saturday night post 6pm. Read more

Kudos to the servers very attentive and respectful. Overall experiencewas Great!!! Read more
Go-to for a fancy or celebration dinner in appropriate attire. This place has some old school traditions such as table side food... preparation. Highly recommend bar menu. Pear martini was amazing. French onion soup, seafood medallion- superb. To the owner:waiter could show some enthusiasm, he was bland. Dessert menu should include one or two seasonal items. I was looking forwardto a pumpkin type of dessert like pumpkin cheesecake or tiramisu. Read more
