We had a great experience for our first time at the restaurant. They made our anniversary very special to us. Our waitress Lau was amazing. She helped us with many selections for our meal and for wine. She made the experience enjoyable . We even stepped over to the bar after dinner to have a few cocktails and the bartenders were just as nice. Great experience.

We loved everything about Milo’s midtown! It had been over 10 years since we’ve been here & choose this for our friend who has never been in NYC. We arrived early & sat at the bar with great cocktails taking in the holiday cheer & bustle of the staff as they take from the fresh stock of Mediterranean fish chosen by their customers. We had the tomato salad & calamari to start. Not a huge fan of calamari but this was perfect. Lavraki, our main meal, was intensely flavorful with some grilled mixed vegetables. We topped off the meal with decadent desserts & shared some baclava & galaktoboureko.
