    First time but won't be the last. The warm potato buns were amazing, calamari's incredible and the 18 oz. Ribeye to share was cooked to perfection. On to of that, on Sunday wine is half off. Can't beat that!!

    Hi Nicolas, thank-you very much for your kind words towards our food menu. We are so pleased to hear you had a chance to enjoy our half priced wine list on Sunday. Hope we see you on a Sunday again soon! - Kait

    Great dinner in a really cool space. The food was shareable and each serving was delicious. The cocktails were bold and fun and the service was very good. Looking forward to going back.

    Food was good but service was so disappointing. Unfriendly, inattentive, zero engagement, and we waited forever for her to come by. We usually love Model Milk but it was so blah that we settled up and went somewhere else for cocktails and dessert.
    Model MilkResponded on May 19, 2025
    Hi Christie, Thank you for taking the time to write in and provide some feedback as to your experience with us. I'm sorry to hear that your service was no where near our standard we try to keep and maintain and we completely missed our mark. Please trust that I plan on speaking with our service team about the importance of engagement with our guests - not only are we trying to ensure that new guests enjoy their time with us, but we want to make sure that guests that have been loyal to us, such as yourself, want to keep coming back. I would like to invite you back and offer to handle your next reservation with us, where we will take care of the cocktails and dessert that you missed with us on this trip. My email address is rmir@modelmilk.ca if you'd like to reach out. Reshma

    Will come back to try more off menu. Great vibe and food. While it sounds simple, an “excellent” burger isn’t easy; theirs was 10/10. Fish done perfectly. A great version of calamari. Wine list and cocktails were nice too.
    Model MilkResponded on May 20, 2025
    Hi Andrew, thank-you for complimenting our food and wine/cocktail list. We are so grateful to hear you thought our Burger was 10/10 and we are looking forward to hosting you again when you come back to try the rest of the menu! - Kait
