By the sound of their definition, any mine could be considered a cave. Interesting that one of their criteria for a cave to be a cavern is the presence of speleothems. There are plenty of real caves without them. And they say the only restaurants in caverns are in the Carribean. What about the restaurant in Carlsbad Caverns? Maybe that's not fancy enough for them, or is that closed now? Mark Minton
