Milton can now boast of two restaurants; 88 Wharf in Milton Village and Abby Park in East Milton Square. Abby Park opened this week and while we have not had an opportunity to check it out in person, it looks great! The have lunch, dinner and bar menus in addition to custom cocktails and desserts. The dinner menu is extensive and varied. There is a nice selection of steaks (rib eye, sirloin, and flank) as well as pizzas, burgers, and a creative variety of entrees: Lobster Cavatelli, Grilled Lamb Two Ways and Braised Short Ribs are just some of the selections. Creativity characterizes the menu. This is not the place for a conventional pizza. For example, they offer a lobster, potato, and sweet corn pizza. Say what? No matter what you call it, it sure sounds good.
