I don’t quite get the hype this restaurant has received. La Merenda has done as much as can be done with cement block walls (by painting them bright orange) and has illuminated a dim room with some updated track lighting and nice tables, but I couldn't call the atmosphere anything close to wonderful.

We went to La Merenda the other night and got 5 tapas including dessert and a bottle of wine and the total cost was way under what I thought I would have spent on food like that. We will definitely go back soon! more

We tried 8 different dishes and had a couple of... more

Great atmosphere, excellent food. Agree with previous reviewer that Milwaukee really needs this kind of restaurant. Will definitely return. Try the Sambal Goreng Udang and the Lumpia Shanghai. more
