Food: Sensational but comes short

Milo & Olive brings a superb gastronomy adventure with their top dishes. The Garlic Knot is heaven in a bite and a 'must-try'. The Butternut Squash Pizza offers an irresistible amalgam of sweet and savory. The creamy Polenta and perfectly poached eggs leave you with a deeply satisfying experience. However, the limited variety, smaller portions, and debate around value for money do dim the culinary euphoria.

  • Great Quality

    Ingredients always fresh, enhancing flavor and overall dining excellence.

  • Bad Variety

    Limited menu options and lack of balance or variety disappoint some patrons.

Vibe: Blazing ambiance with some spoil sport

The swagger of Milo & Olive's ambiance can't be understated. The open kitchen concept, unique artwork and intimate settings channel a charming, flawless vibe. Unfortunately, loud entertainment, plain outdoor patio ambiance and overpriced drink options take away some of this glamor.

  • Great Ambiance

    Open kitchen concept and unique artwork create an inviting, flawless ambiance.

  • Okay Drinks

    Most find drink options sufficient, though pricing and variety concerns some.

  • Bad To Entertain

    Too loud, makes enjoyable dining difficult for patrons, complaints ensue.

Perks: Service weakens amidst comfortable dining

Although the outdoor seating is spacious, comfortable, and adapted to the weather, the perks at Milo & Olive peter out with certain issues. Difficulty in finding parking, lack of reservation facilities, and a loud environment hamper the experience. Also, the service is slow, the staff seem overwhelmed, and the diet options are disappointingly limited.

  • Great For Kids

    Kids welcomed with amenities like high chairs, making dining pleasurable.

  • Bad For Diets

    Very limited vegan/vegetarian options, no gluten-free pizza
