We walked by this restaurant when we were actually looking for the Thai restaurant above it. We…read moresaw the menu & since the food options & prices looked good; we decided to give it a try the following night. There wasn't a wait on a Monday night; and given the choice of indoor or outdoor seating, we chose indoor so we could watch March Madness basketball on the big screen TVs. The inside dining area is kind of small, but they also have a full liquor bar with about 6-8 sears. There were quite a few outside tables....a few more than they had inside.
Our server, Jelica, approached us quickly and told us about the "Monday steak special." (It was just $19.99 for sirloin, two sides, and a glass of red wine.). My husband ordered the special, since it was a great price even though we're not really wine drinkers. He chose coleslaw and the seasonal vegetables as his sides. It also came with a choice of sauces, and he chose peppercorn sauce. He said the steak was really good and it was cooked well; he especially liked the cole slaw and seasonal vegetables. They had a lot of flavor and consisted of carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. He said the wine, a merlot, was just ok. He ordered a Presidente beer after that. I ordered the half-chicken combo which also came with 2 sides. I also loved the scrumptious seasonal vegetables, plus I had sweet potato fries which were absolute perfection! The chicken was quite good; although it wasn't a huge portion. The price was right though; at $12 it definitely was enough food for me! I did like the gravy that came with the chicken too. For my drink, I had a "Movida Spritz." It was kind of like an Aperol Spritz, but with a strawberry flavor. It was very good & priced at $9, not bad. My husbands beer was only $3; so pricing all around was really great!
Since we were still watching basketball after our game, my husband ordered a Cafe Americano, and a shot of Patron XO Cafe. We also decided to share a dessert. There were several options: Oreo cheesecake, Key-lime pie, chocolate mousse, ice cream, and somethings that intrigued us called coconut tiramisu. Wow! It was yummy.....light, sweet, and flavorful. We definitely made a wise choice when choosing Movida, which was walking distance from our resort, and we also did well when choosing each of our meals. Plus the staff was very friendly, (they accommodated us by putting on the game we wanted to watch.). Movida is a great place right on Welfare Road with good food at a decent price!
