I celebrated my mother’s birthday there and from the host, the captain to the server, everyone was agreeable. The food was amazing and the atmosphere inviting and warm. I would definitely recommend Milos for your next dining experience.

A friend introduced me to this restaurant over the summer and it’s been one of my favorites whenever I come back to NYC to catch up with friends. I love the explosive flavors, delicious cocktails, and the music they played had me bopping my head while eating. Ray was a great waiter checking in to make sure I was enjoying my meal and had everything I needed. I always enjoy my dinners here because the staff is wonderful and gives excellent recommendations.

We had a lovely and lively dinner last night. The place was packed and had a vibrant energy level. The appetizers were delicious, the spicy feta, artichokes, tuna carpaccio and mushroom flatbread were so flavorful. We had the lamb and salmon for dinner as well. Will definitely return here!
