Went to Model Milk with the wife this weekend.
Ordered Oysters, and Foie Gras to start. I would say the Oysters were disappointing, were quite small for West Coast, but the flavour was good. Foie Gras was really good, but then again, I haven't met a Foie Gras I didn't like.
My wife went with the Lamb, and I went with the Duck Pot Pie (para phrasing dish names). Hers was really good, and mine was just pretty good. Like a 7.5 and 8/10 respectively.
Overall, I thought it was a good place, we said we would try again. I wasn't wow'd though, and given you have to be there by 6 sharp to not wait for a table (EDIT: you have to still wait, but only 20 mins), it is a bit over hyped IMO.
However, given all the new places in Calgary, we probably won't be back before it closes. Taste, Boxwood, Jar o Blue (yes, we haven't made it there in 5 years of wanting) are on deck.
The one big disappointment was lunch that day. Big Cheese poutine. Just was not good at all. The BBQ pork dishes were way too tangy, and the fries not that good. 6/10 tops.
