model milk

always a good time.. i've been to mm a number of times and it never fails to amaze me. i actually go hoping i get to wait for a table and sit at the bar while watching everything unfold, it has such a great atmosphere and such a unique space. i thoroughly enjoy dining at the pass, all the kitchen staff are so diligent and professional it's great dinner entertainment, and they even taketimeto answer any questions i've had about the food. recently when i was there we had pat as our server, and he was amazing - we asked him to surprise us with our main course and he couldn't have rounded out or meal better, i highly recommend the steak if its still on the menu! the wine is always delish, the oysters are always fresh and the service is always outstanding. everytimei leave its on a full belly, wishing i had room for more. no doubt this is one of my top picks in the city! everyone needs to experience this place.

oustanding. my girlfriend and i visited model milk for the firsttimerecently. we were there for a special occasion and the crew at model milk definitely helped make it one. the food is amazing. we enjoyed a couple starters and a great recommendation on a bottle of wine.

she had the cheddar crusted steak, i had the lamb and both dishes were outstanding. i also recommend the bag of donuts for desert.

the staff is knowledgeable and very detail oriented. we'll be back, and you should go.

at $35 per person for a huge, filling meal on a sunday night.. i have nothing to complain about. the dinner service was well executed and the service was prompt and friendly. the menu for sunday supper changes on a weekly basis, but i'm sure you'll love it no matter what is on the menu. be sure to arrive early, or snag a reservation. sunday supper runs each sunday until 10pm - maybe i'll see you there the nexttimei'm around in calgary!

vg but extremely noisy. 3 of us went to mm for the 1sttimeand enjoyed the service & food & wine very much but all i can remember is the noisy music which detracted greatly from our dining experience. we had steelhead trout, the duck (leg not breast unfortunately) and the salty broek pig. we also had the dungeness crab appetizer which was very tasty and a wonderful wine suggested by our amazing server. sadly, i will not return as i didn't enjoy hearing everyone shouting to make themselves heard to their friends at the table which just contributed more noise to the room.

firsttimethere. gift from the kitchen was oysters, not a great introductory to a restaurant, i hate oysters.
ordered a selection of entrees and sides to share as there was nothing on the small plate menu i liked. if you like seafood you will be ok.
dessert was disappointing. it's all well and good putting a lot of emphasis on top quality local food but these new restaurants have to put as much effort into their dessert menu. it's the last impression they make.

love the food, decor, and service.
i had bad experience lasttimewhen i tried. the service war so slow. food were plain, no flavor. thistimei give it a try again because i like the decor. the food was full of flavor, nice presentation, so tasty. it shows a lot of improvement since last tine i visited. will come back next time.

our favorite restaurant in calgary. we have been to model milk more than a 1/2 dozen times, either the 2 of us or with a large group. every single time, we had very attentive service and the restaurant has been extremely accommodating with food allergies and modifying dishes where they could. if they couldn't be modified - they let us know at thetimeof ordering and always have come up with great alternatives. sure, they get busy and sometimes the food takes a bit longer - it's not mcdonald's for gosh sakes! the menu is always interesting and the sunday night dinners are fabulous. by the way, why would somebody complain if they got free oysters? if you don't eat oysters, just thank them and say no thanks.

my last review was viewed 12596 times    after a hardtimewith the road closed go support them, great cocktails, great service, and sunday family dinner is one of the best.

have been for sunday dinner a few times, its a flat rate and the regular menu is not available. pleased to see that they are publishing what the dinner is going to be. great service on any day and fantastic food. you will not be disappointed.

i want to like this place, but everytimei go i am disappointed by the menu. i end up picking something and being disappointed with the food. thistimei had the fried chicken. i'm not sure how fried chicken can ever be disappointing but it was. i've given them several chances but i'm done trying to like it

model milk was high on the list for places in calgary for me to try after hearing the rave reviews and seeing all the media attention. i came in with high expectations and all around was satisfied. the restaurant has a great design and atmosphere. i love the packed feeling and busy clammer of the kitchen. then the fabulous atmosphere of model milk was broken by the rushed "i don't havetimefor you" servers. after being seated the menu had my full attention. not sure if it was just thetimeof year, but the menu seemed to be lacking any appetizing vegetarian dishes. there was a "porridge with wild mushrooms" but the description was unappetizing. i did order nearly every other  vegetarian dish they did have in lieu of a "large plate" meal. the food was great no other way about it. presentation and taste were fabulous. 

at the end of the night i had a great meal that for the most part made up for the general attitude of the staff that night. i will gladly be back again soon.

my husband and i went to model milk to celebrate his upcoming birthday on a busy saturday night.  apart from trying their big taste experience, this was the firsttimewe had been into the actual model milk restaurant.  the bustling restaurant exuded a hip vibe with its interesting decor and bright atmosphere.  our server, j.f., was very attentive, and even though it was very busy and he had a multitude of tables in his section, he spent thetimeto check on us in a timely fashion and enthusiastically explained menu items to us.  the night started off with a couple of drinks which were quite strong, but had smooth taste.  puffed gouda cheezies came next, and i must say, these were fantastic; light, airy and cheesy without any greasiness.  there were too many appies that we wanted to try, so we ordered three: the stuffed chicken wings, calamari, and the milk fed veal sweetbreads.  the stuffed wings had good flavor and were nice and juicy.  the calamari was nicely done, not overcooked, with vibrant colours to the dish.  the sweetbreads were interesting, and i particularly enjoyed the fresh peas in the dish.  for our main, we shared the nashville fried chicken and waffles, which was quite an impressive dish, to say the least.  the waffles were fluffy, not what i had in mind when i thought of waffles, in terms of picturing a waffle, but were enjoyable.  my husband enjoyed the chicken, was was well cooked while maintaining its juiciness, but i found the batter to be slighly salty for my tastes.  the accompanying coleslaw side was a welcome contrast to the chicken.  our absolute favorite part of the evening was the dessert (yes, we had to save room for it!).  we shared the peanut butter ice cream sandwich and i am still thinking about how yummy it was!  the cookies were tender and chewy, and the peanut butter ice cream was decadent and packed a whollop of peanut butter flavor, without being too rich.  the dark chocolate ganache was chocolatey and smooth.   i would highly recommend this dessert to peanut butter lovers and i cannot wait to go back to have this dessert again!  overall, this was a wonderful night for us, and we thank all the staff and management at model milk for making it all possible.

delicious food and great service. i had a wonderfultimewhen i was last there. the brisket is absolutely succulent. great selection of cocktails and beers. the menu has so many good-looking options that i will definitely be returning.

when i first browsed through the events for big taste yyc, the event for model milk immediately caught my eye. i have never seen model milk do an event for big taste yyc in the past (…not that i can recall at least), and the word “gweilo” definitely got my attention. “gweilo” means ‘white ghost’ in cantonese chinese, a slightly derogatory name for a caucasian. this event was a tribute for chef eric hendry from model milk to recall  thetimethat he spent in hong kong. this event was held at model citizen, which is a space that both the staff at model milk and pigeonhole had collaborated for this event.

we came here for early valentine's day dinner. glad we were able to make reservations. we came here once before and we really like it so looked forward another fabulous meal. we started with chickpea falafel and milk fed veal sweetbreads. we had sweetbreads lasttimeand it was so delish and melted in your mouth, we decided to order it again. both were very yummy and satisfying that i wanted more. foe the main we ordered the nashville hot chicken when was enough for 2 and shared. it was fried chicken with the most delicious waffles i have ever ate! it was light and fluffy not your usual waffle that i was expecting. it also comes peanut coleslaw. we packed the rest up and had the peanut butter ice cream sandwich for dessert. it was on point and wasn't too sweet and had a great peanut butter taste. the whole dining experience was fantastic and would recommend this place. always had a fantastic meal!

late post but i got the chance to go to model milk for a secondtimeon a work dinner. the atmosphere is young and has this hipster vibe that i love. the tartare and calamari were delicious . for the main, my friend and i shared the large plate duck. it was tender and cooked to perfection with pears and young wheat.

i will be back!
