If you are looking for a superb farm to table experience at the Jersey Shore, look no further. Cave(pronounced Kah-vay) Bistro is open for lunch and dinner, and regardless of time, will provide you with delicious chicken bone broth in a mason jar to start your meal. Various pastured meats and wild fish grace the menu as well, and vegetables are local and organic when available. There is no need to ask about refined sugar, vegetable oil, or other food additives, because Cave never uses them. So if you're in the vicinity, don't delay, come to Cave today!
