"Food was average, I had a pizza and my wife had a salad, we sat out on the patio which was noisy due to the traffic but expected. Service was slow so they gave us an appetizer to share while we waited which was a nice gesture however the appy (Smoked Salmon) had filling of fish eggs or something wrapped inside it that was not to my wife nor my liking. We were able to get a table out on the patio on a Friday night at 7 PM which was nice."

"We were really disappointed with this dining experience. We had made a reservation on Open Table and were placed in the bar side of the restaurant once we got there. We told them that we had made a reservation for a dining room table and then they tried to seat us right next to a table of 4 in a section that was not booths. Just tables and chairsnext to each other. We said we didn't want to sit right on top of another group and so they finally gave us a booth. By the time we left, there were still tables not being used all over the dining room, so the reluctance to seat us in the dining room was extremely frustrating. My food was so-so. A bizarre combination of artichokes, a few prawns- maybe 3, and some tough sausage thrown in."

"This was our first visit to Cabana, and we chose it blindly based on reviews. We had a great dinner and were very happy with it! We were on a wine tasting tour, so it was nice to have a good selection of local wines to choose from. However, if you're looking for quiet and intimate, this did not fit that description on the Friday evening that we were there."

"I had a special on the menu for a drink which was a cesar that had bacon and a slider on the top. It was one of the best cesars that I have had, and was also an absolutely fantastic idea, as I posed a picture of it online and got quite the response.
The meal was fantastic but I feel the service could have been a little more attentive. We waited quite a while to get our bill and pay."

"overall good experience. french onion soup appetizer was luke warm, but the salmon and tagliatelle pasta was really amazing. my husband reserved online noting special occasion. waiter did not mention or engage with us, we sat and waited to order drinks, and have plates removed. loved the ambiance, booths are spacious yet private, tables spaced not crowded"
