The atmosphere at this restaurant is fantastic and the staff are very friendly. We only ordered drinks, but the food that we saw being served looked delicious.

The Cave is another of our favourite eating and drinking places in Milford. We visited four times in December. Lovely tapas, lovely staff. We kicked off our Christmas season with lunch and an evening visit on the day of Milford Christmas Lights Event. Milford really buzzes at this time of the year and it is great to see how the business community and local population put so much effort to making the event a success. Apart from a couple of lunches we went to their Italian wine tasting event mid December. Wow. So much fun from a very knowledgeable wine master. Some extremely palatable and reasonably priced wines as well. Naturally we made some purchases and enjoyed a tapas lunch as well. Look forward to our next visit.
