Hotel Madrid

Movida @ Hotel Madrid offers the most amazing happy hour appetizers daily from 4-6. There are four different $1, $3, and $5 tapas options, as well as three kinds of sangria for $9. Most of the food options are vegetarian.I had the house seasonal sangria, which was tequila based with tajin on the rim (YUM!). We ordered all four $1 and $3 apps, which came out quickly in 3 rounds.My favorite were:Pan con Tomate (4 pieces) - very fresh tomatoes!Hot Honey Tosta (2 pieces) - the bread is sooo good, and the ricotta/honey/chili flake topping is superbEmpanadillas (2 pieces) - not a huge carrot fan but these were amazing, so much flavor!Cauliflower Tosta (2 pieces) - again, the bread is fantastic!!Everything we ordered was enough for 3 people. You do need to enter on the north side of the building, and it is really quite fancy. We all felt underdressed. The happy hour is offered upstairs, where the bar and patio are located, and most people were dressed "business casual." Service was fantastic as well. They do add an 18% service charge" on the bill, which no one was really sure how to handle as there is also a tip line. I felt as though I double tipped on drinks ($27 drinks + $18% service charge + $5 tip)... I guess I need to look up how this is supposed to work here in the US prior to my next visit.I will most certainly return as the food was AMAZING!!

Hotel Madrid is the perfect dinner for a nice night out with friends or a romantic dinner for two. The service is amazing for a tapas style restaurant they are super attentive to you and your needs. If you are celebrating a birthday I highly recommend for a special treat. We enjoyed the paella as a nice dish to serve everyone and pairs nicely with their sangria.

I've been to Hotel Madrid on and off over th years, and I cannot believe I haven't written a review before!Hotel Madrid is one of my favorites in all of Milwaukee. The service is impeccable. The atmosphere is so fun. The food and drink is consistently delicious. I was impressed with some of the personal touches they included for my friend's birthday with a personalized sign and churros. Add this spot to your list because it's worth it!

I visited the hotel Madrid years back before Movida became the restaurant here and thought I reviewed it. Mysteries of the universe- I guess not. Hotel Madrid is mainly a tapas and paella place- both of which they do really well. We ordered the hotel Madrid paella and about 6 or 7 tapas. It was so. Much. Food. Favorites were the paella, asparagus, and patatas brava. They had a heated outdoor seating area that was pretty private and actually really warm.Also, they have non alcoholic cocktails! My favorite thing. Of course you can ask the bartender to make you one if it isn't on the menu, but having some pre- thought out mocktail concoctions makes you feel less like an odd man out. I tried both - the jasmine lemonade was light and not too sweet- the other one ("sunrise?" I think?) Was more cloyingly sweet but really delicious. Note they do automatic add on 18% gratuity to all bills. All covid precautions were followed.

If you're wonder whether or not Hotel Madrid is a good date night spot, let me assure you... it is! I absolutely love this restaurant and was delighted to go for a Friday night meal with my husband in celebration of our anniversary.I had been here in the past, but only for cocktails, so it was great to get a taste for all of their delicious plates. But first, drinks! We each ordered from their cocktail menu - an Old Fashioned for him (can't go wrong), and a Paloma for me. The El Jimador Silver, lime, and grapefruit soda was a refreshing mix. The drinks are on the pricier end, but hey ya get what ya pay for.The dinner menu largely consists of shared-plates, which is great when you're looking to try multiple tasty dishes. We started out with a goat cheese charcuterie plate. The cheese was decadent and the macadamia nuts and crispy flat bread paired nicely. Along with that, chard broccolini. I'm not sure what tangy sauce came poured over it, but it was delicious. We also thoroughly enjoyed the street noodles with shrimp, as well as the shishito peppers. Honestly, all of our selections had great flavor and left us very satisfied.Aside from the meal, the atmosphere and service at Hotel Madrid are both great. It's a low-lit ambiance with unique wallpaper, cool light fixtures, and an open-style kitchen. They do a great job of setting a mood!Next up? We'll have to try their much-loved brunch.

One of my favorite places in Milwaukee and that's saying something They're a little weird about the seating - three areas to pick whichever suits you - which may not be where they try / want to seat you. It's never crowded but be advised there is a mandatory 18% gratuity

They have a phenomenal happy hour! From 5-6, half off drinks and they have a half off apps menu as well! You can't beat it. I tried the hummus and the sautéed mushrooms. Mushrooms had great flavor and came sautéed with cherry tomatoes. The hummus was a huge portion and came with bread and pickled veggies. The bread it came with was pretty stale but it didn't take away from how good the hummus was.The street noodles were like an upscale ramen and had a really nice spice to them. The best part is their outside seating area, def a new go-to in MKE!

Food is good but in tiny portions for around $10 per plate. Waitstaff is rude, but asks for bigger tip than 18%. Drinks are not good and cost is hideous. Not good.

Go somewhere else! Like George Webb's, Waffle House, etc...WATCH the bill, Tip is INCLUDED. When I asked the waitress, she argued with me. Very rude!Brian B

Nice ambiance. There's an indoor dining room, a bar, or a covered, heated patio area. Service was very good. Nice people, eager to please. Food was very good also. Many of the tapas come with bread, & rightfully so. Delicious! However, the bread did fill us up before being able to try everything we wanted to order... Guess we'll have to go back again.
