What People Are Saying About Cave Vin
The Editor

In Short – Warm lighting and comfy banquettes along the walls soften the sleek, minimalist decor at this roomy storefront. But hardwood floors and hard surfaces mean it's still excessively loud. The nonchalant, smartly dressed, southwest Minneapolis crowd doesn't seem to mind. Entrees range from a succulent pink steak with salty, crispy frites, to the French comfort food standard, roast chicken. Specials have featured herbed halibut with lemon-spiked wine sauce or a tangle of pasta with spring vegetables.

Amazing!
by Molly2009
Our experience at Cave Vin was amazing! We were greeted by a very friendly host who offered us each a glass of wine (on the house) while we waited for our table. The food was great! Would highly recommend!
- Pros: Great service
- Cons: limited number of tables

Great service, great food
by foodeater2
If you go, ask to be seated in Elizabeth's section. She is top-notch, attentive, timely, courteous and knowlegeable. She is occasionally the hostess, but often the serves.
The salad is a bit over-priced but good. Entrees never fail to impress. The seafood is reliably wonderful, and the pork and steak options have never disappointed. We love the revolving menu with the staples, and the evening specials.
Desserts are incredible. If you LOVE chocolate, you must try the pots de creme.
- Pros: Great service, attention to detail, and highly knowledgeable servers and chefs.
- Cons: Can be a bit pricey.

Ask for Jeff the waitron
by scooter_pi
Make sure Jeff is your waitron, he is super cool. Quite the dandy. He makes me happier than a schoolgirl in her new uniform. And the food is just as tasty!
- Pros: Jeff the waiter, Good soup, candle light
- Cons: kitchen a bit slow
