| - The name "Model Milk" has been driving me crazy for weeks. Everyone everywhere is raving about this MODEL MILK place. What are you talking about. Go away. Or at least tell me where it is. And there better be Models there with Milk Makers or something.
Located conveniently on 17th ave, this simplistically designed resto offers a beautiful two level, open kitchen concept that you won't be able to resist. There is tons of sunlight coming in for you to enjoy its rustic-chic appeal. The servers are dressed casually and beautifully. Like Urban OutFoodies.
I came here for a friend's birthday and found they have a unique beer menu. I enjoyed a Blue Buck from Phillips Brewing Company (Victoria, BC) and a delicious Blonde from Quebec. (whoa. Just.. just.. whoa. Not what you think.. alllthough..)
The food menu is essentially a series of nouns thrown together with no real idea what you will get, best to ask the server how it is prepared and served. I ordered the macadamia nut/dungeness crab/grapefruit salad. All appies are great for sharing. And what amazing flavour combinations. I tried an oyster as well, I don't normally enjoy a slurp-a-lurp but the sauce to go with it was unreal.
My main was the PIG which was essentially 4 rounds of bacony, ground sausagy goodness with cauliflower. I couldn't eat it all, the portion sizes were amazing. Some friends ordered the burger and FRIEZ, the chicken, and the lamb. All dishes were thoroughly enjoyed and a lot were actually taken home.
The only thing keeping me from making this a 5 star night out was the service. The service was good, but not great. Plates sat in front of us for quite some time after our mains were finished, and we were not asked for coffee or tea with dessert. In fact, we weren't really asked if we wanted dessert either. We were too full either way.
Model Milk is not a get in, get out restaurant. It's a come in, relax, enjoy the wine, enjoy the company type restaurant. We had to wait on our bill to make a quick escape for a little while, and he was unable to add some of the birthday guest's drinks to our bill. It's all good. The staff here is very friendly and we were sent on our way with big sincere THANK YOUS.
Model Milk is an amazing place for a romantic night out, a date night, a night with girlfriends, or just a night to yourself with a good book. The open kitchen atmosphere, the upper area FACING the restaurant are all neat qualities I love about new hot restaurants in Calgary. Even the bathrooms are cool.
The name drives me nuts, but I'm a HUGE fan. Can't wait to go back!
