    When stepping into Cava, it feels like returning to Ana and Peter's kitchen. The hospitality is like a warm hug! And the food! Incomparable dishes: A melange of mushrooms to start, followed by a mixte of paella - chicken and shrimp. Desserts were apple with almond creme and flan like no other! Truly, dining at Cava is extraordinarily special and unique. We look forward to our next visit!

    We had an incredible time. The food was delicious, and I love how chef paired our wines with our courses and our tastes. The service was extremely personal and attentive. And everything was incredible. We have already recommended it to our friends and we will continue to do so.

    Wonderful experience! Ana and her husband were professional warm and inviting. We arrived early to our reservation and they had no issue accommodating us. They kept the pace of the food delivery well. A real treat for those visiting Milwaukee or even those living in the area that are looking for high-quality food and service that might be off the beaten track.

    CanvasMKE is a unique gem. Chef Anna and Peter (Chef’s husband, partner and server extraordinaire) treated our party of 3 to a sensory experience of the ages, in their quaint restaurant (5 tables). Every course was introduced, with instructions on how to best allow our tastebuds the most enjoyment. It was a slow night, and we were treated to a Chef’s table experience with tales about the food and the Chef’s personal history and touches such as flowers she grows in her home garden. Chef Anna visited each table throughout the night, making pairing recommendations and helping with serving duties. Her kitchen is small and you feel a part of it, if you want. Our evening was a truly enjoyable experience. We felt like guests at Chef Anna’s home with stories, unique ingredients and flavor explosions at every turn. She truly enjoys her job and sharing her creations with her customers. It’s a small menu, but be brave, you won’t be disappointed!
