"We were curious whether CAV would uphold the high standards set by its late owner, but we had no reason to worry. Everything was just as delightful as ever. The appetizers included cheese croquettes that were good, though not exceptional. However, the dumplings (if that's what they were called) were a standout dish. My friend found the duck entree to be very impressive, and my swordfish special was flawless in both preparation and presentation. CAV also boasts gracious service, excellent live music, and charming, unique surroundings. My only minor concern was that the live music and background noise made conversation a bit challenging. Overall, CAV undoubtedly remains one of the top dining options in Providence."
