Alex Delly and wife Jo Thomas of St Isidore fame have opened their latest venture, ‘Small Town’ in the heart of Milton.
.
Their reputation alone speaks volumes for their ability to serve quality fine dining meals at affordable prices, having been awarded a ‘Chefs Hat’ by the ‘Good Food Guide’ in 2019, 2018, 2017, & 2016 and being ranked by ‘Gourmet Traveller’ in the top six N.S.W. regional restaurants in 2018, 2017, & 2016 with their previous restaurant, St Isidore.
My wife and I (Ken and June Banks) recently enjoyed the ‘CHEFS SELECTION MENU’ a degustation lunch. The fusion of flavours in each of the eight serving courses was extraordinary, each matched with quality wine that complemented each course. Alex, without a doubt has a unique creative genius in his vision and ability to prepare meal after meal that is amazing.
Some fine dining friends visited ‘Small Town’ two days later and were delighted by the delicate flavours and culinary skills of the chef with quality matching wines. Guests from Mollymook Beach Waterfront have also been unanimous in eloquently describing their experience in regard to quality and variety of flavoursome dishes, service and ambience. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Lucas & Amelia operators of the Harvest Bar at Milton NSW
.
Lucas and Amelia have made a huge impression in the local entertainment / dining scene. They are energetic youngsters with a vision and business model that is building a very solid clientele at their Milton ‘Harvest Bar’. The above pic was taken towards the end of January having been run of their feet during the hectic holiday season, backing up daily to provide exceptional service, great music and relaxed dining. Guests from Mollymook Beach Waterfront loved this venue for both lunch &/or dinner, visiting on numerous occasions. Comments included ‘a great vibe and ambience’ but what has struck locals and visitors most of all, was their generosity. Their servings were very generous and at a very fair price. Highly recommended!
They have become a ‘MUST Visit’. Click on the link to check out their ‘Harvest Bar’ Facebook page.

Rick Stein Restaurant awarded a ‘Hat’ & acknowledged for their excellent wine selection
St Isidore Restaurant awarded a ‘Hat’
.
The 2017 ‘Good Food Guide’ awards have been released with the local Mollymook Milton Ulladulla area excelling as a ‘Fine Dining’ regional NSW area. Acclaimed ‘Foodie’ judges awarded points out of a maximum of 20 with a minimum of 15 required for 1 hat
Rick Stein was awarded 15 points and acknowledged for its excellent wine list. The judges wrote “A Mediterranean beachhouse with celebrity status in a boutique resort“. They went onto mention that Rick Stein and the South Coast are famous for their seafood, so it makes absolute sense that the only restaurant from the BBC’s beloved chef is rocking one of the best examples of fish and chips in NSW.
St Isidore was also awarded 15 points. The judges wrote “Self-sufficient farming and coastal produce among the gum trees“. They went onto mention “two things to keep in mind when making a reservation at this testament to seasonal cooking: book for lunch and ask politely for a seat on the verandah. While chef Alex Delly’s food is top-notch in any situation, it’s made all the more delicious when sitting outdoors, watching cows and clouds on the horizon and listening to gum trees mutter to each other in the breeze.

Tender Fillet Mignon – perfect!
Tipsy fig pudding – amazing!
.
Regular guests’ staying at Mollymook Beach Waterfront rate the ‘Tipsy Fig’ Restaurant No 1 in the area for lunch. In their opinion the food is consistently very good, there is a lovely variety to choose from on the menu and to top it off, its BYO. Being retirees to eat out at such a lovely restaurant on their holiday’s is a real treat helped by the fact that they can take their own wine which just makes it that much more affordable. A nice ambiance, caring host and such a warm and friendly waitress whom together make you feel very welcome and special.

July 2016 Menu
2015 White Stripes – Pinot Grigio
.
St Isidore Restaurant one of six regional restaurants in NSW to receive a ‘hat’ in 2015. We arrived to a very warm and friendly reception from our young waitress. Obviously skilled in customer service. From the onset the anticipation grew. She showed us the menu and carefully explained each of the dishes including those just recently added to their ever changing attractive menu.
It was no surprised to see this ‘fine dining’ restaurant full for a Saturday lunch with a mix of dinners who obviously enjoy quality food as you would expect from a restaurant recognised so highly over the past few years.
Our choice of wine followed our waitresses recommendation, a 2015 White Stripes, Pinot Grigio. She explained it was light, vibrant and crisp and would be the ideal compliment to our white meat meal choices. An excellent choice!

our bread
As the name says, our bread only contains three ingredients – organic flour, purified water and sea salt. Our organic bread is authentic sourdough as we use a natural leaven. We don’t add baker’s yeast, or anything else you wouldn’t expect – we believe good bread should be made using the purest of ingredients.
We keep it traditional – our artisan bakers cut no corners when it comes to their method: Shaped and moulded by hand, our breads are left to rise for hours in willow baskets and baked to produce authentic European handcrafted sourdough.
in our cafe
We believe in using the best ingredients available to us – no shortcuts. We source products from suppliers that are like minded and respect their product and take pride in what they are doing. Where we can, we use local ingredients, and sometimes we are even lucky enough to be given home grown produce from customers, whether that be a laden apple tree or herb garden. We respect the seasons and what the farmer has in abundance, we turn into delicious jams and preserves.
