My boyfriend and I went here for our 4 year. We had Olivia and she was super sweet and wonderful energy! For it to be her first week by herself, she is doing AMAZING!!! The food was also amazing

Exceptional restaurant in south MKE!!! It had been years since I've been in this part of town- used to go to Conejito's for Mexican back in my college days. Had Movida been here back then, I would have spent a lot more time hanging out in this...
area.
We had a table of 5 on a Saturday and had a blast. Awesome server (I think her name was Libby?) had excellent recommendations for both tapas and drinks. One little slip-up with a paella dish and the management were on it like white on rice. Just superior service- the kind that doesn't seem to happen much anymore.
Food is incredible. Everything was delicious- I won't recommend anything in particular because we tried the whole menu and loved it all. Drinks are stellar- the sangria is a must have.
Just an excellent experience- we loved both the food and drinks as well as the service. I cannot wait to go back for more.

**Movida Tapas Experience Review**
We had a fantastic time doing the tapas at Movida! There were so many delicious choices, and it was great to have multiple options for our vegetarian friend.
Our server, Kari L., was awesome. She really got ...
the vibe of our table and, along with the rest of the team, made sure we had a great night. Even with the 75-minute limit on tapas, we never felt rushed, which was a nice surprise.
One thing we wished for was that the brisket sliders were part of the tapas menu. Overall, we had a great experience with tasty food and friendly service. Highly recommend!

Such a fantastic menu and the food was superb. I hope those chefs are getting paid well because they are killing it!!! Loved the ambiance- the low lighting was perfect. The service was good, but it was almost /too/ good? Our server would come t...
o fill our water glasses every 5-10 minutes, and would check in with us too much. I’m not sure if that’s just the brand of the place but I and my whole party felt it was a little odd. Other than that, we had a great time and will totally be coming back here. The prices are very decent and affordable for high end tapas!

The space is modern and stylish. It felt like we were in for an upscale experience but it failed to impress. We had a reservation for 7pm, but waited 45 minutes to be seated. In that time, about 10 parties came and left because the one hoste...
ss working did t show her face because she was likely pulled in other directions. Management was invisible the whole time and it seemed like the staff needed leadership. When we finally got our table, 3/4 of the dining room was empty leaving us wondering what took so long. The staff was quickly delivering food but since it was by committee, it felt more like a cafeteria experience. The food was just ok and felt like it just missed the quality that they were trying to convey. The drinks were over priced as it was mostly ice. I took 4 sips and was finished with my $15 drink. Unimpressive. I think it could be great with better management that ensures customer satisfaction. I would try it one more time.
