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.

The vegetarian selection is still utterly rubbish. Why can’t there be one dish that’s actually not terrible or weird combinations. Also the slaw was pure mustard - the schnitzel was super crispy though

Even though two of our party last minute couldn’t make it, the staff at Orrong were immediately accommodating. Then the food - steak medium and medium rare were to rave about. Thanks team - a very enjoyable evening
