    This was our second visit to Model Milk and it was as exceptional as our first visit! The service was excellent - staff were attentive, knowledgeable and cheerful. The food was also exceptional! Our favorites this trip were the asparagus and chrysanthemum salad, the hot honey fried chicken and of course, the cheddar apple pie! Our table overlooked the kitchen which provided us the opportunity to see all the staff in action, working with great efficiency and care. The restaurant was bustling and semi noisy but, that is actually to our liking in a dining experience. We observed several other dishes being served, other that. What we ordered, and everything looked delicious, ensuring we will return to try other items on the menu! Well done, Model Milk!

    Loved everything. Had dates, calamari, Icelandic cod, and hot-honey chicken. The Icelandic cod was one of the best fish dishes in had, ever.

    One of the best meals I've had at Model in years — the new spring menu is amazing. The cod with charred onion broth was beautiful, and the asparagus is likewise amazing. Thanks team! <3

    Our primary server, Acacia, was simply outstanding in every way. The food preparation and presentation were just right, too. This was our fifth time at Model Milk; our sixth can't come soon enough.

    The food so delicious! Had the fried bread, carrots, asparagus and Chrysanthemum salad and the chicken and biscuits… all amazing!! The service great! All the staff were very attentive and the waiter answered all of our questions about the menu. The only thing we didn’t enjoy was the loud heavy metal music playing all evening. Perhaps they are catering to a much younger crowd. It appears to be a wide age group, we thought. The music did not match the food. Sorry…but get a better playlist…Black Sabbath should go.
    Model MilkResponded on June 12, 2025
    Diane, Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food as well as the service. We also really appreciate your honest feedback about the music. We strive to create an atmosphere that complements our menu and appeals to a broad audience, and it sounds like we may have missed the mark during your visit. Your comments have been shared with our team, and we’ll be taking a closer look at our vinyl line-up to ensure the ambiance aligns with the dining experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon. Cheers, Levi
