The Milkwood Restaurant

I've been here before, but not since the new owners took over and did they make this place into a little gem.
With views over the ocean, mountains and the lagoon, there is beauty in every direction. Few good beers and draughts on tap and good wine selection.
We had small plates, firstly the deep fried Sushi was delicious, well balanced and bursting with flavour. The baitfish was my favourite. Quite fishy, which I admit won't be for everyone, but delicious deep fried whole baitfish. Crispy, crunchy and packed with fatty goodness. Served with a swirl of what tasted like pesto, mayo and a ginger emulsion. Really good place and reasonable with their prices. Great service and friendly waiters.
If you want a beautiful view and good food, definitely the spot to be.

Excellent service, our waitress Tasha was so friendly and helpful. Food was also excellent and we didn't wait long for it.They also have many vegan and vegetarian options on their menu which is great.

We went to Milkwood for breakfast. Upon arriving, there was no-one at the entrance taking Covid precautions. We found a table and sat down. Eventually the waiter came, didn't bother to wipe down the table for us either. Extremely grumpy and unwelcoming. We received our drinks order and placed our food order. For the next 40 minutes, we waited for food and the waiter didn't even come to the table to explain there were delays or ask if we wanted to order more drinks. I got up to look for the owner or manager to address the poor service, to find there was no owner or manager available, the head waiter (1 of 2) available was in charge. I explained to him that we were disappointed in the service and went back to the table to wait. The waiter came out again and I ordered a cold drink. About 5 minutes later the food finally arrived, but no cold drink. After 10 minutes it had still not arrived, so I got up to go and fetch one myself. Even after complaining about the bad service, we were still being treated poorly. We had to go inside to ask the waiter for our bill and while I was trying to pay the owner arrived. I tried to explain the issues to her, but she lashed out at me from the onset. Told me I was rude. She has gone on to call me obnoxious and a bully. Why were we upset? Simply because of bad service, instead of addressing the issues, the owner rather decides to address this by insisting it is her patrons fault. I strongly recommend you do not visit this place, it will end in disappointed. Bad service, poor value for money on portions. Owner with a very bad attitude

We had a fabulous lunch at Milkwood! The food was outstanding, very tasty and well presented! Our waiter (Ruan) was very friendly, accommodating and he is really an asset to this restaurant!

I always wanted to try this hidden restaurant in Onrus. The welcome was very friendly and the staff went out of their way to make it comfortable and hospitable. The menu has something for everyone and I choose the Soup of the Day. It was hearty and homemade. The flavours blended well. The freshly baked bread was a pleasant surprise in quality, taste and presentation. The butter served with a butter paper cover was 5 star. My main meal was Battered Hake with chops and salad. The presentation was once again excellent. The salad had a very tasty creamy sauce which worked well with the fresh greens. The chips was well cooked as well as the fish. I noticed that most people enjoyed their dishes as they were telling their partners quite loudly so. The wine list is well balanced with some of the best local wines and beer featuring. The dessert menu was extremely tempting offering a wide selection of freshly baked cakes, slices, and desserts. The Red Cappuccino was excellent at the end of the meal. Art lovers can buy some art work on display all in the range of R1000+. They also serve the best local beer - a lager The Old Harbour Beer.

This restaurant exceeded our expectations! A simple meal of fish and chips was absolutely delicious. Others in our group had linefish and calamari and were also completely impressed by the high standard. Staff were friendly and efficient, the location is amazing ... Loved it! We will be back! ????
