We recently dined at Milos on 55th Street, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly well-prepared and absolutely delicious. We began with the Greek salad and perfectly grilled octopus as appetizers—both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For the main course, we ordered four plates of sashimi, each piece a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and taste. What truly set this dining experience apart, however, was the impeccable service. The gentleman managing our section—who we believe may be Greek—was exceptionally attentive, professional, and warm. His attention to detail, along with the efforts of his assistant and another staff member, ensured we felt cared for throughout the evening. We ended our meal with aromatic coffee and a rich, creamy cheesecake, the perfect conclusion to a wonderful dinner. We highly recommend Milos for its outstanding food, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere. That said, it is on the pricier side, but if you can afford it, the experience is absolutely worth every penny. Thank you, Milos, for an unforgettable evening!
