    There is nothing like this in Milford or the surrounds. This area has been crying out for a place like this place for years! Wonderful service that is backed with seriously good food and a huge selection of quality wines available by glass or bottle. If you haven't been here this is a Must!!!!

    More then just local wine bar for me. They have so much knowledge of wines. Good collection. 👍 They find you the best one all the time.

    This little wine bar is a gem. Great wine choice to beautiful food. Best of all is the top service you get from these guys. Can't recommend it enough

  • 5/5 Karl S. 8 months ago on Google
    Incredible wine list and thee food is incredible. Great cheeses and their homemade bread and butter is 10/10. Best spot on the shore and the service is top notch

  • 5/5 Chris M. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was amazing. A little boutique but all the food and drinks are worth coming back for. If I was trying to impress someone id take them there for the chill vibes. Will see you soon

    The best little hidden gem on the shore! No wine menu just trust the experts to select something based on your preferences and taste. If it’s not your vibe, another arrives - by the way - they always get it right! Don’t go past the bowl of fries NEXT LEVEL.

    Absolute diamond of a find! Amazing staff with exceptional wine knowledge. Matched with beautiful food. Shhh don’t tell too many people! Thank you for a lovely evening! x

    Once you have been here and once you will definitely want to come back. Can’t fault any part of the offering. Always busy, best to book ahead. Suitable for small groups. Highly recommend

    OEMGEE what a find! This little place in Milford has it all - great staff, amazing food and a good variety of wine. The place is small, so consider booking ahead and it might not be the place for a BIG group. Their tomato salad is phenomenal. Sourdough is divine, pasta was great. Toilet is a bit dodgy, but clean enough. A honest and genuine place. I totally recommend!

    Love this little place. Walk in, sit dow, and you will simply be greeted warmly and asked what your taste in wine is like. From there prepare to sample and drink many amazing wines, enjoy some stunning food and just enjoy the atmosphere of this boutique little bar in Milford. The wine selection is extensive and has something for most tastes, prepare to take a journey rather than expecting to pick your wine from a list. The food menu is also perfectly aligned to the experience. Definitely grab a charcuterie and bread platter to start. The Sourdough is amazing!! We also had the Tartare, it was so good we forgot to take a photo. Cant rave enough about this place enough. Staff are all great as well and definately seem to know their regulars. Cant wait to head back.

    This is it. There is no other wine bar and restaurant that matches this place. All natural and fantastic wines, both local and international. Incredible food, top class, knowledgeable and expert staff. Nice one Zane and the team. Totally nailed it. Legends.

    Fantastic! The food, wine and service are absolutely top notch. Very highly recommend. Food is designed to share so good go with a few people.

  • 5/5 Laëtitia D. 3 years ago on Google
    Stunning experience, not only the food is outstanding, great service. Large offre of wines by the glass and even more by the bottle - mostly organic, biodynamic and natural wines. Totally recommend the experience!

    Shared platter with cheeses, cured meat, pickles, rustic bread with cultured butter. Main of steak and frittes reminded us of France. Was fabulous. Wine selection is amazing! Just go😊

🫤 Not a fan. I couldn’t drink the cocktail, it was cloying and unbalanced. We also received our food first and waited well over 5 minutes for drinks - they should really hold the food until you have your drinks with you. No one wants to stare at expensive small bites going cold while you await a bever...
