Guests can take a seat at the bar, or at the small and large tables (some crafted from oak and maple), or relax in one of the armchairs and couches scattered throughout the space.

Whilst Milquetoast is first and foremost about the carefuly curated extensive collection of wines, there's also an impressive cocktail list, including a special martini menu.
