    Our server Kate was incredible and so knowledgeable! The plum and beets appetizer was delicious as well as the beef tartare! Tried the octopus and the cod for mains and both were delicious, except the octopus was a little too chewy! Still amazing flavours though! Will be back for sure!

    Hi Alexandra, Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. I'm glad you enjoyed the service that we provided - Kait is one of the best! I have let our chef team know about your thoughts on the cod and octopus dish - please trust that they take all feedback very seriously. We look forward to hosting you again! Reshma

    The barman/server was amazing and his recommendations were great! Everything that was ordered, food and drinks were 5 stars. We missed out on sitting in the dining and were seated in the lounge area. All in all, highly recommended.

    Hi Sol, thank-you so much for your kind words about our bar team! We pride ourselves in delivering a well rounded service to our guests no matter where you are sat in Model Milk.
