    A semi local to us we know to book in advance. The food is always exceptional and fresh. The coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. The staff are well trained and friendly. With an egg shortage we were told that eggs could only be fried or scrambled at the moment due to quality issues but regardless they were absolutely delicious. We’ll always come back.

    Beth & Sam and all the staff at Milk & Wine make every meal there an enjoyable experience. They are wonderful hosts; Friday night wine bar - especially theme nights - are great fun and the perfect way to end the working week. The menu has great range, and there is a huge amount of thought that goes into what they are serving, where it is sourced and how it is paired with just the right local wine. We love Milk & Wine
