Cava

Cava is located in the heart of historic downtown Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and is just a brief walk from the Portsmouth Parking Garage and the Ladd Street access. We are located in the middle of the quiet and quaint Commercial Alley, which is home to several small, independent businesses. Perhaps one of our most noted features is our Vertical Garden. In summertime, patrons may dine under the only outdoor living wall in the Northeast. Cava is the dream of two long time friends, John Akar and Gregg Sessler. Together, they have combined their years of experience in the restaurant business in order to build this unique establishment. Featuring two wine bars, one on street level and one in our Wine Cave, John offers a diverse and always changing selection of international wines to be paired with Chef Sessler's modern and classic Mediterranean cuisine. Chef Sessler uses only the freshest seasonal products available to create his innovative menus. Join Chef Sessler and his team at the Chef's Table for dinner and a culinary show.
