What a wonderful flavorful meal at Milan. I forgot to take pictures of our entrées, salad and appetizers. However, all of them were cooked perfectly presented well and the overall ambience of the evening was very enjoyable. We purchased one Caesar, which was the size for three people so very generous portions The steak pasta special entrée for the evening was very flavorful cooked perfection very hearty portion and we took half of it home. I had the spaghetti carbonara my table mates had the Mary’s chicken which was juicy and flavorful. We shared a Caesar salad. We had the steak pasta, special, and the fruit to Demaree. Everything was enjoyable.

Food was great but ambience could be improved. Lighting was rather bright and we got put in the back room which had a hard cement floor and no art on the walls which made the room rather loud and like eating in a garage.

The food was fine, but the beet salad did not have very much goat cheese.

Went here for Valentine’s Day. They had a limited pre selected menu to choose from and they ran out of items. Service was horrible. Took 50 minutes to get our appetizers. No one came to re fill our water or re-order drinks. The way they set up the tables was cheap and janky. I was okay with paying more for this day but after I felt taken advantage of. I’ve eaten here on a no -holiday and the ambience was way better. Definitely will not be coming back.

Nothing more than an absolute cash grab Ordered filet mignon and got a piece of dried out meat that had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. I should have guessed this would happen when they didn’t ask me how I wanted it cooked Adding insult to injury jury was the outrageous price. Total cost per person for this was almost $200

Nice, but service was lacking and very slow. Felt very unorganized. Servers were confused on which table the food was supposed to go to. Over priced for the value of the Valentine’s Day 4-course meal.
