What a complete turn around from last summer. The food is soooo much better. You can tell when there is a real chef as the person running the place. Kinda sad that I had to go home and not able to have this goodness of food near me. If you keep up the good work like you are now I can see you doing big things here. -Ryan

Dinner was delicious. Great BYOB in the Crest. Don’t let the the lack of crowds fool you as that will not last long once word is out. They recently opened under new owners and they’ve done a great job with the menu.

What a pleasant surprise to find Cavu BYOB on our last night of vacation! The atmosphere has a nice vibe and it is immaculate. Our food was delicious and the presentation looked as though a lot of thought and care went into it. We both had the crab cakes. Very good flavor and served with well prepared fresh carrots and broccolini. Laura, who runs the front (her husband is the chef), made the foccia for the table and she also makes the desserts. We had the creme brulee which had fresh fruit and real whipped cream on top. Both were delicious. I highly recommend a visit to Cavu. We will definitely be back!

We stayed at the Pan American and for convenience we tried CAVU which is inside the hotel. (A BYOB :)Dinner the day we arrived - we had the shrimp tacos for our appetizer and the chicken fajitas for our main course. Absolutely delicious! We liked it so much we had our next two breakfasts here. Everything we tried was 5 stars. We especially loved the home fried potatoes with breakfast. A must try. You won't be disappointed!!

Dinner was sooo good. The flavors were on point. The portions were very generous. We ate outside overlooking the pool- very nice resort style dining. The service was very friendly and precise. This is a hidden gem in Wildwood Crest. If you’re considering giving it a try—- go; you will not be disappointed.

Had dinner here with a large group and the service was great and the food was even better. We had a party of 11 and every one of us enjoyed our meal! The buffalo chicken egg rolls and chicken panini were to die for. Would recommend to anyone in wildwood crest to come and try!
