    We had a lovely table for 3 (the only other option was outside) & my other 2 guests were elderly. They did manage the daunting stairs & the lunch was perfect 👌🏻. Kirsten, Marco, Francesco & others provided exceptional service., no hovering around the table is a bonus, but attentive to our needs. The menu, both food & wine, were perfect- well done chefs. The fact that this quality restaurant is open on a Monday is also a bonus. We are visiting from SA & will send all our friends to dine here. Grazie mille.

    Celebrating Valentine’s Day was made even more special with our dinner and experience at the Milton Wine Bar. Apart from the food being delicious, there was so much of it - definitely value for money. Being out the back with light rain falling on the corrugated roof also added to the ambiance of the evening.
