    We loved our experience at Cavas. The flavors in the meal were exceptional. Great Sangria. Ana and Peter(owner/chef and server) are amazing at what they’re doing. You feel very special when you dine at Cavas. Prices are a little higher than we expected but all worth it. We will definitely go back.

    The owners are delightful. Drinks creative. Portions perfect and each course is a different experience. I would just say to cut back on the salt in creamed corn dish. It was nice and spicy, creamy but less salt please. Would definitely return. A wonderful evening.

    Chef Ana takes her time with each guest. Culinary is an art, you cannot rush art! It is an explosion of flavors in your palette! Each ingredient is cut fresh as you order your dinner! It is an amazing experience! You cannot get this kind of Spanish dishes made fresh to order anywhere else. Chef Ana & her husband at Cavas are amazing! 5 star rating is not enough!

    Anna is the best. This restaurant is one of Milwaukee’s brightest gems yet,not well known because it is small. Outstanding food. Anna is a great hostess and chef. Already contemplating our return.

    We had the best time at Cavas!! Truly an incredible experience. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed and taken care of. We had the 8 course menu and we loved EVERY dish. So many delicious flavors and some things we’d never tried before. Chef Ana and her husband were so lovely. Highly recommend the Sangria and Spanish Old Fashioned cocktails! We will definitely be back to try the paella!
