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.

We chose Waterfront to celebrate our 30th Wedding anniversary as we both love seafood. It proved to be a wonderful choice. We each had entrees and main courses and shared a desert. Every dish was promptly served, suitably proportioned and delicious. Had time for a romantic stroll on the beach after.
