    We had a fun time coming here for the first time . The lamb ribs was rich and the scalloped risotto was excellent. We will come back if we are in downtown.

    We came for dinner before washing a show. The service was great and our waitress did a great job of helping us get out in time. The cocktails were well crafted and our dinner was very good. I had the salmon (portion was on the small side) but it was delicious & my husband loved his Marlowe burger. Can’t wait to go back!

    Service was great and very conscientious! Pork chop, steak, fries and drinks were good. Salads, salmon, gnocchi and risotto were over-salted, making value a bit low for the price point. Overall a good spot near the theater-district, and in future I’d probably stick to the pub classics (fish and chips, burger, steak).

    Booked this at the last minute, and enjoyed our meal here. A bit expensive for the quality, but would still recommend

    The Cavalier is our go-to whether a date night or meeting friends. The service level is unparalleled- they treat you like you are family and do all of the little things to make you feel valued as a customer. Very rare these days. On top of that the food and drinks can’t be beat - we have never had something that we didn’t thoroughly enjoy. So glad we found this little gem and look forward to many more nights spent there.

    We had cozy dinner on a rainy SF evening here and The Cavalier didn't disappoint! We started with their amazing deviled eggs, then shared the lamb plate and a caesar salad which was the perfect amount of food, especially with a Sipsmith martini or two!
