I’ve been going to Milos for years to celebrate special occasions - it’s always a treat. The food is fresh and beautifully prepared. The ambiance is classic chic New York, elegant and lively. I took my son for his birthday, and while I expected a great evening, what truly stood out was Harry, our server. He wasn’t just attentive, he was cool, funny, and incredibly smart. He went above and beyond, and truly elevated the evening. It’s expensive, if you’re looking to go all out for a special occasion, Milos is worth it - but be ready to blow some serious cash.

My Theatre Pre-Fixe meal was varied and delicious. I had the Chef's fish selection over gnocchi. Excellent sauce and perfectly cooked fish. Our servers were attentive and prompt. The music was lovely, lighting perfectly balanced, and our table well-appointed. Well within my price expectations in NYC.
