Been to both Vero and Model Milk recently.
Vero wasn’t bad but for the price it was disappointing. The steak was good. But the fries were fast food or pub quality at best. I’d be absolutely shocked if they were made from scratch in house. The gnocchi was ok. The Arrosticini was decent but were tiny. I liked the crème brûlée but the ricotta cheesecake (I think?) was disappointing. Cocktails were meh.
Overall food was fine but value for the price was very poor. I wouldn’t go back. I’d maybe give it a 6/10?
Model Milk on the other hand was amazing. About the same price point but everything was phenomenal. The shrimp toasties were delicious, the 18oz ribeye was ridiculously good. And the Brussels sprouts and potatoes it came with were to both top notch. Cocktails were great.
We were so stuffed we only had coffee and no dessert so I can’t rate them there.
Bills at both places were very similar but at model milk I savoured every bite and felt like I got full value for the price.
The staff was also better at MM. The only thing is our entree took quite a while but it was well worth the wait. We didn’t mind one bit. I can’t wait to go back. 10/10 across the board.
