We went for their Monday special of Fried chicken which came with grits and coleslaw. We ordered a side of waffles and my husband and I split a big bottle of cider (Spire Mountain - quite good) . The girls ordered a Model Milk Creamsicle Soda which they found quite tasty. There were five of us and they readily had... More

My wife and I had dinner here in May 2013 and we chose this resurant based on the hype it has gotten recently in numerous publications. The restaurant is in the old dairy building on 17th ave. The decor keeps a dairy farm feel and is bright and homey. The wine list is well stocked, but not overwhelming. The staff... More

I have been here once before and loved it, so this time I brought my partner for dinner. We made a reservation at 5pm online - super easy and convenient. We started with a couple of cocktails at the recommendation of our server, Shane. Two cocktails and plans to have a quick entree before heading out again turned into 4... More

I had heard excellent reviews about the food at Model Milk so it seemed like a good place to have dinner with my father. However, even at the advanced age of 36 I found the punk music a bit of a disconnect for fine dinning and too loud to have a comfortable conversation. The atmosphere was bright, but certainly not...

Food was tasty (brisket), but the wine serving per glass as extremely skimpy, which was disappointing as was the lack of parking.

I was a bit surprised that it was packed on a Monday night at 8:00 pm (we waited a half hour for a table for 4). It's a classy place with good service. My friend was thrilled with his fried chicken and waffles. I thought my arctic blue char was "very good", but I was a little disappointed that the... More

I have lived in Calgary my entire life and this has to be my favourite place to eat. Make sure you try their Apple Pie. It is to die for.

Revealed a wonderfully unique dining experience, which started with the unique decor, exemplary service and the exquisite presentation and taste experience with the food. We shared the great taste . The portion size was terrific and each presentation was individual and unique.... More

The interior of the restaurant is really interesting with restaurant seating on two levels. We chose the mezzanine seating where we faced the main floor- great people watching! We started with the octopus appetizer- a delicious creation of potato disks, morsels of octopus with watercress in a bone marrow dressing. My friend had the 'Pig' main which was a brined... More
