    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!

    The food was spectacular! Every dish was innovative and delicious; you can tell the chef put skill, love, and care into each plate. I loved the intimate setting. The decor is beautiful. The chef and her husband are wonderful.

    A truly outstanding experience. We did the eight course meal and loved each course. We’ll do the paella meal next time. This is a very small, intimate location in the Third Ward. Great cocktails and wines.
