Caviar review

Caviar is the special-occasion option. Instead of every restaurant in town, it offers curated lists of local places and exclusive eateries that Caviar says you will not find on other delivery services, from mom-and-pop spots to Michelin-rated restaurants and The Infatuation picks. The membership question is easy: Caviar says DashPass benefits work on Caviar too, and DashPass costs $9.99 a month after a 30-day free trial. Your first Caviar delivery is free. There are no order minimums, you can order ahead for a set time, and deliveries are left at the door by default with a Hand it to me option. Tracking factors in prep time, traffic and weather. The trade-off is reach: the curated list is short by design and depends on the restaurants in your city. Treat it as a companion to DoorDash rather than a replacement.
