Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Model Milk captivates diners with its "creative and unique" menu, offering standout dishes like calamari, beef tartare, and cheddar apple pie. The "amazing" service is "knowledgeable and attentive," enhancing the dining experience. While the ambiance is vibrant, some find it "too noisy" for quiet conversations. A must-visit for a memorable night out.

    Favourite place we ate during our honeymoon. We ordered the spaghetti to share and ended up ordering a second because it was so delicious. Going to be dreaming about that meal.

    Model Milk offers diners a fabulous menu with lots of choice, creativity and "not so common" meals. Spaghetti was disappointing, oysters were tiny and octopus and herring meals were small and average. The service/wait staff are absolutely stellar; friendly,professional, knowledgeable and very keen to help. Unfortunately the ambient noise in the "energetic" main dining room is challenging. While so great to hear laughs, cheers, and happiness.....almost impossible to have a quiet discussion or hear a greeting from a passing guest. Staff quickly offered us an outside table where noise was different (traffic & exhaust from 17th Ave) but no concrete reverb.

    Great experience. Staff is great, great quality of food, the starters all mix well with the main courses. Good wine pairing options as well

    Great food, drinks and service! Just a little loud to carry on a conversation, with all the hard surfaces.
