Make your reservation and enjoy a night of great food, Wonderful service over VERY RELAXING NIGHT. Every person at our table loved their dish. Presentation, flavour, colour, freshness, creative all making the restaurant memorable. We all want to go back again.

The food and service here are very good. We heard about it from Gilchrist on CBC. I think it's better for extroverted couples and larger groups, in light of the noise level. The room is really live, with brick walls and a concrete floor. We went as a couple and I'd go back with a group.

Entering MM our group was greeted right away by several staff members ensuring we were OK. They set-up our table of 6 very fast in the center of the dining area under a string of very cool pastel colored light fixtures. We ordered several appetizers (Lemon and Mascarpone Risotto crisped oysters) Not a fan of the oysters in this dish... More

We just had an amazing dinner at Model Milk. If you haven't been before I highly recommend going on a Sunday for your first visit - they do a Sunday Supper which is a set menu served family style...and it is incredible. The servers are great, the atmosphere is welcoming...the only criticism is it is very loud in there -... More

This trendy restaurant was our choice for the evening and what a mistake. It is intriguing to find a place that doesn't take reservations and has a continual lineup. This is what we heard, so thought it was imperative that we try it out. Model Milk's attractive atmosphere doesn't make up for it's poor food. We started off with a... More

Model Milk, due to its location in a trendy part of town, is held to a higher expectation than one may put on other restaurants. I am glad to say that, while I was sceptical at first, I was amazed. The decor in this old dairy site is a nice mix of modern and classic with lots of different seating... More

My partner and I went to Model Milk for Valentine's Day dinner. We started with a bottle of bubbly which was served nicely chilled. The have a good wine list - lots of variety. As this was our first visit to Model Milk we were not familiar with the menu and had a lot of questions. The server knew the... More

Our table had the burger, one of the specials, and calamari, and it was ALL extremely tasty! It is a beautiful spot...something out of San Francisco. I don't love that you can't make reservations, but it was well worth it. The desserts alone are worth it (the peanut butter ice cream is unbelievable). My ONLY complaint would be the french... More
