Food was superb! Service was top notch. Overall great date night.
The tapas were absolutely amazing! The flavors that they are able to put together on the small plates is very impressive. The service was wonderful, we felt very safe there, and I will continue to go back!
Great food, great Covid precautions installed and staff was very friendly with helpful suggestions
Innovative and creative safe setting while keeping the restaurant ambience.
Great attentive staff. You are never left wanting. Amazing presentation of a variety of tastes that is fun and delicious.
Thankyou!
Took first timers here for a retirement celebration. Four days later and they’re still raving about it. Nikki was fantastic - made everyone feel welcome.
Been a staple for years. And still NEVER disappoints. Still as good as ever. The trout and short rib gnocchi were amazing. And I don’t even love fish. great covid protocols and set up too!
The food was delicious. We ordered 4 items and the timing of the delivery of each was perfect. I felt safe with the Covid precautions the restaurant had in place. The wait staff was very efficient and pleasant.
One of the best places in Milwaukee I ever been
Thank you so much for the great service and food
Awesome Experience. Our waitress was wonderful. Knowledgeable, Nice and Pleasant and it was the perfect level of service.
Great place
Amazing food as always— complex, well seasoned.
Wonderful service, great environment, covid friendly, GREAT food and great wine !!
We enjoyed the friendliness of our server. Given the challenges facing restaurants these days, it was encouraging to see that your restaurant attempted to make the best of a bad situation. Merry Christmas!
We had an awesome date night! The food was amazing and our waitress Nikki was fantastic. We had her the last time we were there and she is just a delight.
Wonderful restaurant with timeless favorites on the menu; half price bottles of wine on Mondays mad it a great value!
Always good food and service. Made a reservation based on heated outdoor seating. Were only two small heaters, very cold, had to eat in winter jackets. Would not call it heated dining
Great social distancing measures!
We love this restaurant. Unfortunately, I think they are overboard with the Covid restrictions. Originally, we reserved outdoor seating—way to cold—heaters totally inadequate. Luckily, we could sit at the bar. Bartender was great. Food portions were better than normal, but the main dish was way too spicy compared to normal.
La Merenda has always been good, but this past time I went with my family, and it was really outstanding! Food and service were unparalleled.
This was my second time to La Merenda in a month, and again it was outstanding. We had the grilled octopus, the goat stew (please put this on the regular menu), the Kale salad, the seared trout, and a few other items. Every entree was amazing. We also had six cocktails, coffee and tea, and the meal was under $200. I enthusiastically recommend this place, especially if you are in the mood to be a bit adventurous.
Much less noise than previous visits to La Merenda.
Dishes were better than ever.
We had a wonderful time.
Great service, safe dining, absolutely delicious food!
Great job with covid safety, plexiglass dividers between every table. AMAZING food and nice wine list.
Excellent meal and service, as always! Also appreciated the new barriers set up between tables and new guidelines to keep patrons safe during Covid times.
This place is magical! Every single dish (and bite) was just out of this world.
Our server, Nikki, was so much fun and very attentive.
I HIGHLY recommend 10/10.
The food was fantastic. The Argentinian pork is a must! They also have a great set up to keep everyone distanced for covid. Sarah was a fantastic waitress! So good I’m coming again a week later!
Always good food. I have to write fifty words here in order to give this place five stars.
We had the loveliest Friday night dinner on the patio near the fireplace. It was chilly but we brought a blanket. The food was outstanding as always and we had the nicest server. ☺️
Everything at La Merenda is outstanding. Best bets of many delicious options are gnocchi, goat cheese curds, and save room for tres leches cake. It’s the best dessert in the city. Wine list is unique with many good options and service is attentive and perfect. Covid updated plexiglass makes for an Uber-safe feel. Highly recommend.
was a great dining experience. awesome food! the COVID safety measures they have in place were perfect, felt very safe.
La meranda was great this weekend. I haven’t been to many restaurants during covid but felt totally and completely safe. The tables were nicely spread out with dividers between each table. The service and food were good as always!
Only our second date night out since COVID. La Merenda was set up with each table being divided with screens. It made us feel so safe! We had an incredible time and the food was phenomenal. Highly recommend for a COVID safe date night!
Excellent food and service. very safe given the steps taken for covid-safe dining. They have plastic dividers and tables are very spread out.
Amazing food. Service wasn’t the best but usually it’s great!
Tapas! Specials! Food from all over the world grown as locally as possible.
Awesome food and drinks. Great selection of food and a variety for all different tastes.
Friendly staff, fantastic service! Enjoy sitting at the bar or enjoying the outside patio. Food is always on point.
Haven’t been here in years. Brought my 22yo son and his friends. Items have changed (osso bucco!!), but the 12 items we ordered were outstanding! Never disappoints and continues to impress... Thanks, Peter!
Amazing food and great service... This restaurant has always been one of my favorites.
I would highly recommend when looking for a tapas restaurant!
Our waitress was great. Very friendly, attentive, and offered many great food and drink suggestions. The pork empanadas were my favorite of the many, many dishes, and the jalapeño infused tequila drink was fantastic! Very clean bathroom.
