"After a visit to the gallery at the Milton I went with friends and family to the Milton Brasserie for a coffee. It was drizzling outside and we wanted a warm friendly place to chat before heading home in different directions. Unfortunately we found the opposite the waitresses looked really fed up, there was no atmosphere at all, the Maître d' barely lifted her head when we arrived and turned her back on us when we left. But the worst thing was that the coffee was the worst I've ever had. Not to moan too much but how is it possible to make such awful,bitter coffee with such a beautiful Italian coffee machine. I doubt I'll be back, shame as the place looks lovely from the outside."

Took my grandparents out to this restaurant for the first time in a while and they really loved their lunch. They gave it a high rating! Lexi provided very friendly service.

We enjoyed good food and the staff were great. We had a mixture of young kids with us , some in high chairs and the staff were all very helpful. A lovely experience, would recommend to others.

Had the best lunch with family today, service was impeccable, staff were so friendly. The starter special was the best I’ve had in a long time. Such a cosy atmosphere. Great end to our family summer holiday. Will definitely be back. View menu

We dined here on a small group tour. I ordered the lamb, which I returned to twice because it was cold. The second serving was microwaved, so it was hit, however the lamb was 90% fat and was revolting. Could not recommend this restaurant to anybody.

Surprised to see so many negative reviews here. We found it to be hidden gem of a place. Well staffed with friendly and efficient service. A wide range of choices on the menu and food was excellent. You could taste the freshness in every bite. Would very highly recommend.

Don’t go if you have a dog. Distinctly rude and unhelpful staff. They don’t offer outside table service and you can’t even enter the foyer to the Takeaway hatch to order if you have a dog. The hatch is well outside the restaurant. It’s 2023. I didn’t even bother ordering and left. Will not be back. View menu

I was there at a private function, we had such a great time. The food was outstanding, totally out of this world. The platters were sublime, never seen anything like it before. Jay his staff were very attentive helpful as usual. Nothing was a problem at all. First class service all round. Can’t recommend this place enough.

First visit and not bad. Coffee and tea fine. Plain scone and Papaye/white chocolate scone but very nice. Refills on the coffee a very nice touch. Restaurant looked a bit odd. People seemed to be being told to go and order their own drinks from the bar and queue for them. So, definitely not a place for dinner or lunch. Very pleasant for a coffee.

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
