Cavas, the Spanish tapas restaurant and bar that closed briefly while its owner recovered from shoulder surgery, will reopen on Valentine's Day, Feb. 14.

Chef Ana Docta announced the reopening of Cavas, located at 401 E. Erie St. in the Third Ward, in a Facebook post Wednesday.

"I've poured my heart and soul into creating an exquisite dining experience just for you," she said. "And what better time to celebrate than Valentine's Day?"

Docta said there is a new menu, "specially crafted for the most romantic day of the year."

Cavas opened in the Third Ward in February 2020, serving small plates like patatas bravas, stuffed dates, empanadas, pimiento, paella and more traditional dishes from Spain, Brazil and Argentina, where Docta is originally from. Its bar specializes in Spanish sparkling cava, small-batch tequila and cocktails.

The restaurant also has a shop that offers wine, tequila, teacups and more gifts for sale.
