Chef Chris McDonald is a local legend for his culinary prowess, which was honed at his formal (and former) Avalon restaurant. Now with partner and chef Doug Penfold, he is the driving force at Cava, where inventive, small-plate dishes -- sometimes daring, but always delicious -- offer Iberian-inspired menus with salt cod cakes, beef cheeks, and more. House-cured charcuterie is not to be missed: think smoky chorizo and dried salamis, plus Iberico ham hand-cut to order (a skill in itself). There are more than 20 well-selected wines offered by the glass for pairing. The vibe is delightfully low-key, although professionalism informs everything, from service to sweets. And speaking of desserts, Xococava (tel. 416/979-9916), next door, is worth a visit on its own for rich, artisan chocolates, silken ice creams, and more, all made on-site.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
