Housed in a romantic exposed brick venue , CAV is the type of place where you could easily run into the beret-clad person of your dreams while making your way through the chic , chandelier-lit interior . In other words , this cozy yet upscale eatery is funky . Fortunately for us foodies , CAV ’ s many dishes are no less creative : think pasta Florentine filled with spinach , walnut and cheese mousse topped with a delicate shallot cream sauce or Prince Edward Island mussels in a coconut and red curry sauce . Might we suggest browsing the extensive wine list too and picking a glass of red or white to pair with your meal ? We know we would . Just sayin .’
WHAT TO EAT : Don ’ t skimp on the appetizers : You ’ ll never forgive yourself if you miss the walnut encrusted brie served with brandied apricots and crackers . WHO TO BRING : Anyone who has read Byron or is of the bohemian mentality . WHAT TO WEAR : Classy attire plus a distinctive accessory , like a patterned bow-tie or a vintage scarf . THE DRINK SITUATION : It ’ s wine-oclock somewhere , so cheers to CAV ’ s all-encompassing wine list . INSIDER ’ S TIP : Plan around the weather , if possible ; the intimate outdoor patio ( if open ) is calling your name . THE DETAILS : 14 Imperial Pl ., Providence , 751-9164 , cavrestaurant . com . $$$ >>
