Review Cafe Calatrava - Milwaukee

Brysen Kawamura
Lovely cafe with scenic lake views located in the basement of the art museum. This place is a must try during your visit. They have a nice selection of options, but expect to pay higher than normal prices compared to other places. The food came promptly and the staff were friendly and inviting. We were pleased with our choices. The meal came with bread for starters. We got the smoky-dokie burger with chips, I recommend this to try. We ended our meal with the matcha cake special, which was covered with white chocolate. The dessert was a little too sweet for our liking and a little too dense, but it was beautifully plated.

My child and I ate/drank here after a seeing the The Posters of Jules Chéret exhibit. We were so impressed with the courtesy of all staff, the quality and care that went into the food and my latte was so delish I had to get a second one. A little context: it was summer on a weekday and we are inside though it was a beautiful day outside. It was busy but not crowded - we waited maybe 3/4 minutes to order. We were having a great day and engrossed in good conversation. That said the quality of product and service complimented our spirits.

Great place to grab lunch or early dinner. The kids menu items are all $5. For adults they have a selection of steak, fish, and salads. The view of the lake is a cool experience while eating.

Really pretty venue. Nice and intimate for a smaller group. With all the glass it feels a lot bigger by the lake. I can't really comment on the food, because I was at a special event and I'm not sure what their menu is like normally. What we got was decent for a cafe.

Delicious food, spectacular view! Prices are a little high, but what you’d expect at an art museum. Paying for the view but worth it! I had the avocado grilled cheese which has a scrumptious garlic spread and the aperol spritz, a refreshing prosecco cocktail. Meals come with their house made focaccia with olive oil.

The view here is beautiful and the food is surprisingly good! I came here many years ago on a high school field trip and remember more about this cafe than the museum. For the quality of food and beautiful plating, you can't usually find a comparable price. The sauce just had so many LAYERS of flavour. I came again recently with my best friend who is lactose and gluten intolerant, so it was really nice to be find a dish that she could eat and didn't need to be massively modified. The bread they give with the meals are made in house apparently and it's reaaallly really good.

Beautiful surroundings and yummy food. I visited on a Sunday afternoon and had no issues grabbing a table.

Level 5 Fancy Cafe. Their drinks are akin to mixed drinks in complexity and presentation. Service was slow and drinks were nearly room temperature. Fantastic location and experience besides.

Came on Sunday so it was the brunch menu. Limited options but all looked good. Kind of foodie-ish so may not be great for kids. Ambience is clean and bright. Server was very friendly but food came out very slowly! I ordered a salad which was small, certainly not enough to be a meal. Everyone else's meal was good. I know because I had to eat from their plates since my salad was skimpy! Complimentary cinnamon bread was delish!

Fantastic meals at a great value. You can go elsewhere and pay more, but our experience over 3 years has been that their entrees, deserts and service are wonderful. The artistry and tastes are stellar, and as a bonus you happen to have a great view.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had. The service was on top of everything and very friendly staff. Ambience was unique; a rare and beautiful setting. I had a delicious dinner and a wonderful time with my friends.

Great view, good coffee and sweets. Nice place to relax at the museum.
John Parker
Nice café with good lunch food. When providing a cappuccino though, they need to preheat the mugs so they are not served lukewarm.
Lynn Anderson
Such a lovely view! Limited but healthy and interesting menu. Chairs are uncomfortable and cheap. Service was good.

Popped in for a coffee on a beautiful morning. Impressive amount of space and good coffees. An incredible choice. Staff were on the ball and service was very prompt.
