This was such a cool experience! The food and wine were delicious and creative! We were impressed they make their own wine in house as well. We’ve enjoyed many chef’s dinners over the years, and tried 3-4 new things we had never had before at this dinner. The service was fantastic and the owners came by later in the meal to greet us and check in. We will definitely come back!

We went there for Valentine’s Day. Eight course dinner. Fabulous experience. If you’re a foodie this must for you. Very unique dining experience. They offer other experiences that are not so expensive like a movie night. Check them out.

We had my husband’s birthday dinner here this year and it was great! We live about two hours away so it has taken us some time to make it to the restaurant but we are happy we did! We went for the 8 course dinner on Saturdays. The service was unmatched! Before our reservation I reached out over a few of the dishes having mint in them, as my husband cannot/will not eat it. They were amazingly accommodating. I will say the general service was great as well; the servers explained everything to us and made it an easygoing, relaxed atmosphere. We really appreciated that, we’d never been before and sometimes places this nice can make you feel out of place or stuffy, but not the case here. Not to mention that you are dining underground! It’s definitely an experience! We had a really nice time.
The food was very good! The first course was my favorite and it was the cheese crackers and jam! I could’ve had a plate of their homemade crackers and been satisfied! Each plate was brought out in a nice amount of time; we were told about the dish and its contents. There was always a nice amount of food as well, you weren’t going to leave hungry! They also provided takeout boxes if you wanted them, which I’ve never seen before but it was such a great idea! The desserts were all great. I have a sweet tooth, so I always look forward to desserts the most. They didn’t disappoint! At the end of the dinner they gave everyone a small going away treat- a tiny carrot cake cupcake. My husband was also given a small gift as well for his birthday. It’s truly special how much effort and personalization was put into the whole process; from omitting certain ingredients, to personalized menus that said happy birthday, to the gift.
This was a great place to go to celebrate a special occasion. We both had a good time, and will be back to see them again I’m sure.

The reviews were so mixed we were skeptical but so glad we went!
The man who was complaining about to big of portions… thats personal preference. The sizes were not to big or to small and were brought out at good intervals. I was full after the 3rd (for the 4course friday) which is the goal right? Still had room for dessert! It was all so yummy!!
The owners come down at the start after our drink order also to greet us, very nice. Though we did think they were just a couple headed to their seat at 1st…

The food was just ok. The first course my potato was burnt and my filet was raw when I asked for MR but never did a server come by to ask how the food was. The only course that was decent was desert. For four courses the portions were crazy small. It’s also interesting that they added a tip to the two to go bottles of wine.

We did the Saturday 8 course with wine pairing.
We were met at the elevator to go down by a staff member who gave us a brief history of the cavern and how it was found.
Right after we were seated the owner stopped by to greet and welcome us for our dinner. He was extremely friendly and happy to talk about the renovation process and his wine stock.
We had an incredible evening consisting of amazing dishes, wonderfully paired wines, and servers who took great pride in their job!
We look forward to going back again!
Immaculate restaurant with an incredible staff!

We held our annual holiday company party at Prohibition at the Caverns last night and everything was incredible – food, beverages, wine, service and atmosphere. Our staff loved the ambiance of the caverns 29 feet underground. Highly recommend for a date night, unique weekend dinner or corporate event!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Prohibition at the Caverns, and overall, it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was absolutely stunning—elegant, atmospheric, and thoughtfully curated to complement the unique setting.
Two standout dishes truly elevated the evening: the miso sea bass, which was perfectly cooked and rich in flavor, and the sheep blend sausage, which was both inventive and delicious. These dishes showcased the kitchen’s creativity and skill.
However, there were a few aspects that detracted from the experience:
–As we were arriving and attempting to take our seats, two individuals—presumably the owners—approached our table to engage in conversation. While their intentions may have been warm, they never formally introduced themselves, which made the interaction feel a bit awkward. A moment to settle in before being approached would have been appreciated.
–While I’m accustomed to European-style multi-course meals, the portion sizes for this 8-course dinner were surprisingly large. This sentiment was echoed by others at our table and nearby patrons. For a tasting menu, smaller, more refined portions would not only enhance the dining experience but also align better with the pacing and elegance of the setting. Adjusting portion sizes—and perhaps pricing accordingly—could improve both the guest experience and the restaurant’s appeal, especially considering the 7 PM seating was not full.
–One final note: we were offered the opportunity to purchase bottles of the wines we enjoyed during dinner, which was a nice touch. However, I was surprised to see a 20% gratuity added to the take-home wine bottles. While I fully support a compulsory tip for the dinner service, applying the same to retail wine purchases feels questionable and left a sour note at the end of the evening.
While I genuinely enjoyed my time and appreciated the culinary highlights, I would likely not return due to the overwhelming portion sizes and the questionable tipping practice on take-home wine. With a few thoughtful adjustments, this could be a truly exceptional dining destination.

The staff was attentive and friendly! The food was good, lots of presentation value, but the real appeal is the atmosphere. If you are seated next to the wall, you will hear every table’s conversation.

Wonderful treat for an experience meal! The vibe is very speak-easy with an upscale twist.
Enjoy the elevator ride to your destination below main level. Step out and you are in the “cavern” . Take a tour and check out the house made wine cellar. Once seated, our servers, Jamie, Missy & Isaac, were very knowledgeable and consistently catered to our every ask.
We went for the Friday evening 4 course Culinary experience with in house wine pairings. Every detail is attended to including personalized seasonal menus. Choose one selection from each of the thoughtfully designed & prepared courses.
We ordered:
First
Beef Tartare – nicely chilled and tender.
Lobster Roll – chunky and creamy.
Second
Lobster Bisque
Tangelo Salad – citrusy balanced by balsamic dressing
Third
Filet Mignon – rare and juicy
Scallop – tender and nicely crisp on top
Fourth
Lemon Blueberry Buckle
Peanut Butter Chocolate Mousse
Finished with turkish coffee.
The food was delicious and while not “platefuls”, we left Prohibition completely satiated.
The wine pairings were on point but would like to have been able to swap out the wines during that course.
The caverns can be damp and cool so a sweater may be in order. Keep in mind that the stone walls reverberate so can be a little louder when the room is full.
Bathrooms are on the main level.
We will be back again to try another of the delicious seasonal menus!
