The Prosciutto/Arugula salad is a must have, as are the Pork Empanada s!
Our server was an absolute delight!

ambience was just due too Covid precautions. otherwise soooo good.

One of my favorite places! Every time I go I’m delighted with the menu choices and the desserts are divine.

Great food!

Sarah was a great server. very knowledgeable and attentive

Food was amazing as always. Rachel was a gem. Our forever favorite!

The food and service was excellent as always. Have yet to ever have a less than stellar meal and experience at La Merenda.

Delicious food, great service, socially distant, plastic dividers, great experience

Excellent service and excellent meal - as always!

Always incredible. They have taken excellent social distancing measures by putting clear walls between each table. The good, drinks and friendly environment are always top notch.

Great way to share a meal with friends. Amazing food!

Everything that was ordered was amazing! Pork belly, shrimp and veal dishes were all on point. Cannot wait to go back.

Monday’s half off wine is terrific.

This place is always so delicious! Cannot wait to go back!

Our first time at this fabulous restaurant. Server helped us navigate the menu and we enjoyed a quick pace of food from the kitchen. Salads were fantastic and don't miss the special presentation of cheese curds.

La Merenda has outstanding food and service. The Butter Chicken is fantastic. I appreciate how the restaurant is responding to the current pandemic by separating tables as well as dividers.

A dining experience. Friendly atmosphere, excellent tapas, the Shrimp excellent and the mini steaks superb! Desert? we enjoyed the Irish Cream cake . Mucho Gusto!

Can't wait to dine outside in their spacious well decorated patio.

Usually this place is pretty good. This time I ordered a duck dish that said it was made with russet potatoes. It came as some thin stips duck placed over french fries. If the description would have mentioned french fries I would never have ordered it. I can get that at McDonalds. I also ordered 2 gin gimlets got two drinks with one shot of gin in each and a squirt of lime juice. I was charged $16 for the gin and got a separate charge of $7 for the lime juice. I emailed the owner 2 days ago and have not heard back so far.

Fab server - great food and fun time for friends bday dinner!

Everything was wonderful - food, wine, and service. Especially appreciate the social distancing policy and the new dining room set-up. Always take our out-of-town visitors to La Merenda!

It was great food. Our server was amazing and made great recommendations. My wife and I have not had a date night in a very long time and this place is great.

One of my most favorite restaurants!
The food is always fabulous!
Felt very comfortable and safe with the plexiglass dividers!

Good food and good service! the outdoor patio was perfect to kick off spring!

The partially covered/partially lit patio was the ideal option for a partly rainy and the sunny lunch. We delighted in savory lamb ragú and spicy but tasty grilled shrimp. We didn’t have room for more, but wish we did. Both went well with Sauv Blanc. Service was prompt with friendly staff.

Every morsel of every dish was delectable. We enjoyed the half price bottle of Italian wine on a Monday night in the outdoor seating area. The earthiness and casual comfort pairs perfectly with the small plate dishes they serve.

LaMerenda remains one of our favorite places to dine in MKE - - proven by the fact that we drive from Oconomowoc to partake.

Thank you for what you do to make us feel safe, yet feel a sense of "normalcy".

Introduced a friend who moved back to Milwaukee last year to La Marenda and the patio and you’ve got yet another fan! We’re looking forward to getting back there soon, hopefully with even more friends!

Everything was perfect. We loved it.

Amazing food as always and the best service!

Delicious food and drinks! And, attentive service!

Entrees are always interesting and savory. Never been disappointed in the drinks, staff and overall ambiance.

Amazing! One of my favorite restaurants in MKE. Every dish is packed with flavor.

I always love La Merenda, definitely a favorite. Welcoming and relaxed environment. Great varied small plate menu Loved all the dishes especially the Risotto and Short ribs with gnocchi. Prices are quite reasonable Great place fora first or early date and conversation. Wine list not very varied but interesting tasty options Cocktails are great as is small bar seating. If you plan a dinner, make reservations and a walk to park.

The food was excellent! I was able to try things I don’t normally eat. The desserts were amazing.

By far the best food we’ve had in Milwaukee, but the service was laughably bad. At one point, our server asked how our food was and if we needed anything, and walked away while I was still talking. If it weren’t for the poor service, we’d absolutely be back. Because of it, I’m not sure if we’ll even bother to get take out from them.

It was great to have a coming out of COVID dinner there. It was a great evening.

The food was incredible, but gosh, it’s so pricey. I’d come here more often if the prices were 75-80% of what they are.

Such a great experience for our first meal out in a year!! Delicious food, great service, attention to safety.

I absolutely enjoy this tapas place off the beaten path - not only do they get creative in their cuisine and offer dishes from around the globe, not just your typical tapas from Spain - but they also provide MUCH larger portions than you are use to. The dishes came out 1 to 2 at a time, and everything we ordered was fantasticlly seasoned and extremely well prepared. Out of the 8 dishes our table of 4 devoured not a single one disappointed, audible "mmm"s were heard throughout the entire night and there was enough food for us to take home as leftovers!
They have a great wine selection, fantastic wait staff and a relaxing ambiance. I can't wait to go again!

Everything: Food, service, the setting was absolutely wonderful! I had heard good things about it, but they were all understated. This was my first visit, but I intend to be back often! The wine list was small but the selections were of excellent quality and variety.

The food/drinks were amazing. Staff was wonderful. Great vibe overall. Would def go back.
