Cava Restaurant & Bar was founded by the Lopez-Hollis Family in 1997. Carlos and Leslie, along with their children Carlos and Amy, had a vision to create a dining experience that would combine food, wine and music from the family's Mexican and Spanish heritage.

Food isn't separate from life in Spain or Mexico. The gentle pace of daily life in these regions leaves time for social pleasures and relaxation. Cava is a place where family and friends can pass time, engage in conversation and enjoy fine nuevo Latino cuisine with inventive, hand-crafted cocktails. We offer a unique wine list featuring owner selections from Spain, South America and California.

Cava features a vibrant outdoor patio, warmly lit dining room, sunflower colored walls, a cozy fireplace, original artwork by Channing Peake and vintage handcrafted pottery by Gorky Gonzalez.. The décor and menu reflects the sophisticated yet casual character of Montecito.
