September at Cava

September at Cava

September is here, the kids are back at school and the summer is winding down. I am looking forward to a great fall harvest from our local farms. I am excited about bringing back some of our favorite fall Tapas and hopefully creating some new one too.  Remember get out while the weather is still good. September is perfect for patio dining.

Cheers!
