yummmm ;)
Amazing food, great service,! My friend and I shared a few appetizers and all were great.
We started out with the grilled octopus appetizer and crab cake
The octopus was delicious and perfectly cooked and the pairing with the capers was really, really good, the Greek salad was great.
Save room for dessert, because the baklava is delicious nd chocolate mouse cake too.
The fried zucchini and eggplant is a must ..sooo good -

It's good. Excellent food in fact, but kinda expensive.
Crabcake is delicious, chunks of crab meat sweet and juicy. $30 for one the size of a flat fist, if you can imagine. Octopus was tender and flavorful, but didn't leave a lasting impression.
Our party had the roasted lamb which they do once a year to celebrate Easter. Enormous amount of lamb. I don't think they have this on the regular menu, so nothing to worry about.
For dessert, had the walnut cake which I thought was kinda soggy. However the ice cream that came with it was awesome.
Again, it is a little pricey, so maybe like 3.75 stars ha -

YESSSSSS. I adore it here. It's consistently on the list of Restaurants at Which Papa N Will Eat -- and quite close to the top -- the other reviewers are correct, it's a lovely respite from the city -- though the noise level is slightly high (even at 11p), the ceilings are high, the drapery is calming, and the food is so freaking tasty you won't really care.
Do yourself a massive favor and get two orders of the octopus -- it's tender, succulent, amazing -- and then order pretty much everything else on the menu. It's all simply, yet elegantly put together, and you get a strong sense of not only the individual ingredients, but interestingly, a sense of place, from the flavors presented. I could swear that we were dining on the steps of the Parthenon. Yes it's fish-centric, but pretty much anyone will leave happy and satiated at the end of the evening -- plenty of veg options, and there is lamb and steak as well -- but really, do the fish. REALLY.
Oh, and how could I forget -- the chocolate mousse cake is the fabric of my dreams.
Dinner for 3 is roughly $275, + tip. -

The best quality Greek food. All the food here is 5 star and amazing. I recommend the Greek Salad and the zucchini chips for appetizers. Everything is fresh and there really isn't a bad dish. You will probably need a reservation depending on when you go. Only negative is that it's on the expensive side. Be prepared for a large bill at the end of the night.

Review from Sara D.

From the moment you enter Milos, you feel like you stepped out of the city and into the Mediterranean (or at least a very modern Greek restaurant- similar to Mykonos). You are warmly welcomed by the hostess and kindly seated at the bar as your table is prepared. As you take in the ambiance, the crowded dining area, the bazar market-style set up, and the fresh seafood chilled on ice display your appetite grows even larger in anticipation of this culinary adventure.
Once seated, Petrit talked us through the origination of Milos and its expansion over the years. Next, he guided us to the seafood display and explained our sharing options. As we snapped a few photographs of the magnificent selection of fish, we noticed the langoustine and the soft shell crab were still alive...and rather feisty!
We took Petrit's recommendations and shared the octopus, fried zucchini with tadziki, fish, Yukon potatoes, and beat salad. The bottle of Greek white wine, Les Dons De Dionysos, perfectly complimented our meal. For dessert we devoured the baklava. The taste was crispy and sweet, yet not overwhelming. The espresso and after dinner dessert wine was also a hit.

Day two of Winter Restaurant Week 2012 was unplanned for me but a colleague at work decided to take my team out to lunch as a thank you for wrapping up a big project. I mentioned that Restaurant Week had just started and that there were some great options right around our office. I considered a few different restaurants but in the end picked Estiatorio Milos because I knew one of my colleagues was a big fan of Mediterranean cuisine. I'd been there for dinner a few times and it has always been an excellent dining experience. Plus, their RW menu is the same as the pre/post theatre three course prixe-fixe for $49 but for half the cost so it's a good deal and they don't cut any corners. I took the initiative to go ahead and snagged a 12:45 reservation the day of and asked if there were any objections to which there were none.
The space itself is spare, the color palette is all whites and creams and stone. A few bouquets of red roses and some colorful fish on the ice display are the only splashes of color. A long translucent curtain hangs from the soaring 30 foot ceiling and separates the bar from the dining area. The hanging lights are dim, but the front of the restaurant is made of entirely glass letting the sunshine pour in and cast a gentle natural light over the entire space. The best way to describe the overall feel is calm and cool and despite the simple décor, when you walk into Estiatorio Milos you feel as if you are walking into a grand space.
A small bar runs along the left wall leading towards a large display of fresh fish and other gifts from the sea which are brought in daily to rest upon on a large bed of crushed ice. Behind that the open kitchen bustles with activity. The lunchtime crowd here was a mix of business-types and older couples, and everyone is well dressed. The restaurant was busy and all the tables were full but the high ceilings help to muffle the noise level making conversation easy. Above the fray are two elevated private dining rooms, one with walls lined with wine bottles presumably for special wine tasting occasions.
I had the scallop appetizer, it was just two small scallops with a mandarin orange salad, light but very tasty. The crab cake was actually a very decent size for an appetizer, and the meze plate was a really nice mix of hummus, tzatziki and another spread called Taramosalata which were each excellent on the warm bread which came to the table. It also had a small spinach pie, some olives and a roasted red pepper. So choose one of those latter two if you have a larger appetite.
I enjoyed the loup de mer for my entree, it had a few bones but that's to be expected for this type of fish. Like most of the fish here, everything is simple, just fished grilled perfectly, with a balanced sauce, capers, and salt. They serve the entire fish, head and all so it was filling. My colleagues each got the tuna burger, not my first choice but it was well received, especially the zucchini fries on the side.
For dessert we each had the walnut cake with honey -lavender ice cream. Again, really simple but very satisfying.
The service was courteous and prompt, and each course was timely. The entire three course meal took just over an hour and never felt rushed.
I've been a fan of Estiatorio Milos for some time now. I love the philosophy behind the food they serve, offering the best and freshest produce, highest quality ingredients and most importantly the best fish and seafood. Not only that but as someone who loves the simple things in life, I love Milos' idea of cooking to 'perfect simplicity'. The fish here is simply grilled and never covered in heavy or overbearing sauces, to let the food transport you to the Mediterranean. All in all, highly recommended, either for restaurant week, or the next special occasion you have coming up. And at the very least, if you can't afford to get away for a Mediterranean vacation, a simple meal at Estiatorio Milos is the next best thing. -

One of my absolute favorite restaurants in NYC. The thin sliced zucchini Milo's special is divine. I highly recommend the shrimp, calamari and lobster. Also they make an amazing loup de mer. Lightly seasoned to perfection. Ambience is clean and chic. I continue to go to Milos with my husband for every anniversary dinner. Been a fan for years. The food is just awesome.

I went here for dinner with a couple of friends and let me say it was an incredible meal. The food is simple, fresh, and tastes amazing. Everything we had was cooked to perfection.
We ordered the following items:
Milos Special - Thinly sliced fried zucchini with cheese for dipping. This dish is a MUST HAVE. The zucchini wasn't oily at all and the cheese was a perfect compliment to it.
Octopus - Grilled octopus cooked perfectly. Octopus is tricky to cook and I was skeptical that it would be chewy, but it was cooked perfectly.
Green Salad and Tomato Salad - were both very fresh and added vegetables to our meal. Nothing crazy or special about these items, but how amazing can a green salad and tomato salad be? I did love the huge chunks of feta in the Tomato Salad.
Branzino - We got this grilled and it was amazing. Fish was fresh and it was cooked just right.
Baklava - Light crispy phylo with honey and nuts...YUM!
This place is a MUST GO! You will not be disappointed. -

Atmosphere: I absolutely loved the atmosphere,ver nice and sleek!
Service: the staff is very nice and overly accommodating.
Food: food is light and feeling. Pretty good, almost but not quiet mouth watering.
Expense: WAY OVERPRICED! I didn't leave thinking the price was worth it. I have been to places like this, where I walked away saying it was expensive as hell, but worth ever penny....this was not one of those times. I would however go back for the Blood Orange Martini...freakin delicious! -

Greek food was on my mind and this place was on my list. Unfortunately, this place is a joke.
I am sure the food is delicious but they are going to scam you in to much more food than is seriously manageable for two people. I didn't know it was family style until after I sat down.
We had 1.5 waiters. I say 1.5 because one was a faux waiter and the other was a jerk. The faux waiter dropped off the menus and mumbled something about water and was gone. The jerk swung by to swindle us into several of the many large dishes of food offered but we really weren't sure what on the menu we felt like eating. Acting as commonfolk on this day, we were looking for more of a simple Greek presentation, perhaps a few dishes to taste and share but definitely nothing so overdone. Skinny #1 and skinny #2 surely weren't looking for family style portions.
So the jerk came back and talked skinny #1 into viewing the fresh fish on ice and to assist him in choosing what we would dine on. Okay...skinny #1 comes back and advises that they pretty much do not have any fish that are less than 2lbs. We surely do not want 2lbs of fish for dinner nor do we want 1lb of fish for dinner. Nor do we want several family sized side dishes either.
We feel confused. Jerk comes back to the table and asks us if we are ready to select some sides to go with the fish. Skinny #2 (ME) expertly jumps in and states that a whole fish is a bit too much food for us and we are still unsure. He gets exasperated and points to another dish on the menu as well as a meat option and then storms off. We are not eating meat. Skinny #1 suggests we not be pressured into something that we are not excited about. I agree yet we deliberate about the ethics and feelings of leaving versus staying. Our verdict is leave.
It's so overpriced for a style of food that we are just not feeling. We probably could have made do with some apps or something but the jerk really made the experience much worse than the family style portions. Perhaps we should have done a little more research before sitting down but in all truth, we do what we want. That's how we roll.
.5 wanders around and we ask for the check for our still water and bread. -

St. Pierre fish was grilled to perfection. Soft shelled crabs in a light batter sauce. Even the mixed grill veggies were a standout.
Part of the joy of course is picking out your own meal.

Best fish you will find in NYC. Everything is fresh and prepared just the way you want it. The service is impeccable. I once left my ring in the ladies room, and the bathroom attendant was kind enough to run and find me and give it back. I hadn't even noticed it was gone! Always a wonderful experience here.

Mediterranean meze plate - One star. Three small spoonfuls of sauce. Five slices (wedges?) of cucumber. One TINY triangular pastry the size of my thumb. I wouldn't complain if it was amazing, but it wasn't even good enough. Where's my food?!
Good bread and olive oil are brought to the table.
Loup de mer - Five stars. Incredibly fresh fish. Nicely salted and seasoned. I'd highly recommend it.
Walnut Cake - Two stars. Delicious. Small triangular wedge served with a scoop of pistachio ice cream. Melts in your mouth.
Bleh service. It's always impossible to find the waiter and you have to get up and flag him down. Also, this place is seriously expensive! It's in a huge open space, so perhaps impressive for business meetings but not for an intimate meal if you're looking for a cozy place. -

SIMPLE - that would be the word to discuss the food, decor, service and overall ambiance.
The food is delicious, and more importantly FRESH. All about the most basic ingredients prepared in the simple but savory mediterranean way.
Don't miss out on the grilled octopus (za best), the plate of spreads, and the chance of picking out the fish you want prepared from the 'market' wall (uber pricey, so we usually stock up on apps and then share a fish as a main).
Despite the expensive prices and posh crowd, the decor and service are simply unpretentious.
***Great place for a nice dinner out - think business, parents visiting -

I will start by saying that a couple of friends told me that I would be disappointed and still I was stubborn enough to make a reservation.
The restaurant itself is nice, with a Modern Decor, the tables are quite small, and the Service was Mediocre.
I ordered the Mylos Special, nothing special bur fried zucchini with a tzatzaki yogurt sauce that was way to garlicky, and for 33 dlls, then the dip combo, which was 3 spoonfuls of different very mediocre dips. So at 6 dlls a spoon, not with it. Not to mention when I asked for pita bread for the dips they said they only had bread. I asked for fresh bread and it never came.
After that we ordered the price fix menu, octopus grilled came cold, tomato salad was good, and the Loup de Mer was good but they took 20. Minutes from the salad to the fish.
I would not recommend the restaurant to someone that really likes Authentic Greek food, this I'd an over priced trendy restaurant,
I should have gone to Pylos for the food instead of the ambiance. -

What a fantastic find. I actually accidentally stumbled upon this location after having an excellent meal at the Athen's location. It's a big, open, bright, lively spot for a midtown dinner. The atmosphere is always alive, and the clientele chic. You have room, i.e. are not on top of the other tables, which is rather rare in NYC. I have been several times and we've always had great drinks, great food and service.
The seafood is some of the best in the city. You must start with the milos special - paper thin zucchini with eggplant and saganaki cheese, deep fried. It's super light, despite the fact that it's fried and has a great flavor and crunch! A good secret is that they'll let you order a half order, which I recommend so that you can try a few other appetizers. A wise man once said, 'variety is the spice of life!' The spreads are good too, especially for the table to share.
For entrees you must order their fresh fish. You will not be disappointed. It's quite pricey, but very fresh and cooked on charcoal with lemon sauce.
Desserts are my style - they are of the lighter Greek variety: yogurt with honey and fresh fruit. I walked down to Shake Shack in Time Sqaure for a real American dessert :)Listed in: a few days in NYC

Review from Roberto B.

Does reviewing a restaurant for the first time during restaurant week jeopardize the review itself? Is it like walking in on a hottie taking a poop?
For some restaurants restaurant week becomes more of a PR, "open the gates to the plebeians" thing than an actual attempt at spreading culinary seeds to different people. Luckily Milos dolled itself up during restaurant week and kept its best dress on.
I went with a friend for lunch. The place is very big, and has sloppy cement work all over the place giving it a weird parking lot vibe. But that's if you look up. If you look anywhere else, you will find pretty people eating pretty food. And if you gaze deep into the restaurant, you will see fresh, fleshy fish lying on a bed of ice. That's the thing here, fish, and as someone who would gladly eat fish every day of my life, I was in great company.
I got the mezze plate as an appetizer. It was served with sliced cucumbers. The mezze were excellent, all fresh and distinct enough. Sometimes the tastes all roll into one creamy hummus mess, but here they really made an effort to give each one a distinct personality. My friend had scallops, which were good but, in typical RW mode, miniscule.
Then came the surprise.
I ordered the loup de mer. I thought I would be getting a little filet, maybe placed on top of a bed of spinach with some grated zucchini on top (you get the picture).
I got a WHOLE FISH! I felt like Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka.
My friend got the tuna burger, which was delicious but paled in comparison to my fish. I kept telling him "I win I win I win!" but gave him several morsels of my sea monster to compensate for my behavior.
The fish was quite simply phenomenal. Just the way, I believe, fresh fish should be done. SIMPLY! Olive oil, lemon, rock salt, a hint of parsley, garlic and some subtle herbs. That's it.
What followed was me just melting in front of this fish.
Oh and I had fresh fruit for dessert and a double espresso.
But seriously- 22 bucks for a huge fish? AND the mezze? AND the fresh fruit?
Go Greece.

The ambiance and decor was really good.
The service and staff were slightly above average.
As for the food, I thought it was just okay. For prices like this I didn't find the food anything extraordinary. It was fresh but the fishes we had were kind of dry. The dish of peppers for $20 appetizers were not worth it. I didn't find them special. The grilled octopus was delicious.
Good to try, probably wouldn't come back. -

I love when I can have a meal that is both delicious - and healthy. Milos totally fits the bill. All the ingredients are high quality and simply prepared. OK, it's not cheap, but the prix fixe is reasonably priced. The grilled octopus, Greek salad with fantastic heirloom tomatoes, and Lour de Mer are favorites. I usually try not to eat a lot of bread at restaurants, but at Milos I can't resist with the amazing olive oil that cries out for dipping. Also, I usually add an order of galaktoboureko for dessert because it's to die for. The atmosphere is open, airy and relaxing and the service is always impeccable.

Top notch seafood and really great prices for their lunch prix fixe at $24 for a 3 course meal. Now, to be fair, you'll want to make sure to get the grilled octopus for an extra $10 supplement, but at $34, you are getting grilled octopus, a whole fish (or lamb chops), and some fruit or sorbet to finish the meal. For what you would normally pay here for dinner (astronomical prices), lunch is one of the best deals in the city here.
The grilled octopus is a must get, if you couldn't tell. A nice charcoal flavor to it, seasoned with some onions and olive oil. Very tasty and some of the best grilled octopus I've had. I also got the loup de mer, a white fish that was light but flavorful.
Service was decent, although, not the best I've encountered for a restaurant at this price range. I hope to be back again for lunch soon. -

I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Greek food but the food here was tasty and hit the spot. I had the following
Octopus - The first plate of octopus was cooked perfectly. Our second plate was slightly over cooked. Enjoyed the first so much that it is hard to ding them for one plate being slightly over cooked though.
Fried Calamari - Simple dish executed well.
Grilled Holland Peppers - A little too greasy but still good.
Tomato Salad - Simple dish executed well.
Lamb Chops - I ordered my lambs chops medium rare and they came out perfect. This really was the star of my meal.
As for setting, the main room is pretty noisy so not good for a large group if you want to hear everyone. I went here for a business lunch and would consider it a good place for that during the day/evening. I would go somewhere else for an evening meal or romantic dinner. -

Why fly to the Mediterranean when you can just come here (minus the beaches).
The atmosphere at Milos is incredibly romantic and welcoming even if you're with a bunch of business partners or family. It's like no restaurant in New York.
The food is simple, fresh and incredible. You can pick your food at the "fish market" and they'll grill it up to perfection.
Like the atmosphere, the service is also perfection, and the wine list is extensive.
Prices are high, but well worth it. If you want New York's best fish restaurant, serving the finest, freshest ingredients. Look no further than Milos for New York's best. -

I can't find any reason to not give this restaurant 5 stars.
We went last night after a show and had a memorable meal.
We ordered from the pre/post theater prxi fixe menu. Each diner gets a choice of app, salad, entree and dessert for $49. It was an excellent value for this high end place.
The grilled octopus was fantastic, the salads were great, we both got Lour de Mer and enjoyed it immensely.
They value simplicity, so if you are looking for lots of spices and sauces you may not care for it. We found it clean, simple deliciousness.
The service was just right. In some places you feel like a second class citizen if you go the prix fixe route. Not here.
The final analysis: ambiance, service, food and prices were all excellent.
We shall surely return when in Manhattan. -

Not going to lie to you...the food here is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Would give it 4.5 if I could.
Definately one of the best places in New York. Keeping with the trend, we were seated at 8:30pm for an 8:00pm reservation, but we did have a party of 7.
We ordered:
*Sea Bass
*Mixed Veggie Plate
*Tomato Salad
*Crab Cakes
*Grilled Calamari
*Octopus
It was all perfect, with much kudos to the octopus. Just be prepared to spend a few $$$$. Well, more than just a few. (Example: Crab Cake Appetizer: $30.00). -

My favorite Greek restaurant in the city, Milo's definitely has no competition. When you walk in you fall in love with the big atmosphere and the view of the tomatoes and fresh fish is beautiful. The appetizers here are amazing. I always order their tomato salad with peppers,onions,olives,and feta. Then I order their milos special which includes fried/chips eggplant, zucchini and halumi cheese and you dip it all into their yogurt cucumber sauce. My favorite appetizer there is their grilled squid with onions ....amazing! If you're in the mood for spreads order their spreads special and try them all. When it comes to entrée all the dishes are good especially the Lavraki ( branzino) and order a side order of broccoli and cauliflower.
Whatever you do don't forget to order their doughnuts omg these are little honey filled balls that I just crave and crave some more. -

This place was superb! The atmosphere was a little loud and it was difficult to have conservation with the person across the table but with that said I had a great time and the food was fantastic. The service was fine dining at its best. They really take care of you. I loved the tour of the fish of the day with the waiter who was super friendly and knowledgeable. Your waiter has a great support staff so that you never have to wait when you need something. The family style dining was great fun and really pulls the entire table together. You have to have the octopus appetizer they say that it is a 3 day process to get it ready for the table and I believe them. It really melts in your mouth. I can't wait to come back.

The reviews do not lie - the seafood is unremarkably fresh!
Came here for an anniversary & Estiatorio Milos did not disappoint. The decor of the restaurant is simply elegant. This place is dimly lit so intimacy is welcomed but you've been warned that the atmosphere is trendy & better for group dates/celebrations. The restaurant is gorgeous & has alll 3: an alcohol bar, raw bar AND dessert bar.
We ordered the grilled octopus as an appetizer & a few of the fresh oysters. My boyfriend ordered the seared big eyed tuna while I ordered the grilled salmon as my main course. The portions look nothing out of the ordinary but we felt fully satisfied - not too over the top. The food was fresh, delicious & not overly seasoned - just the way I like it.
Although our waiter provided pretty good service, I couldn't give this place 5 stars because of the wait time. We still had to wait a while even though we had a reservation. It also took a while for the appetizer to come out. -
Review from Howard L.

Something has to look REALLY appetizing if you are allergic to it and risk a reaction to eat it. Well, I couldn't resist the king crab legs and the langoustines and they were delicious!
Came here on a business dinner so we had plenty of food. All the king crab legs we can eat, langoustines, lamb chops, salmon, etc. etc. etc. It was a feast and the manager was very accommodating. I guess he was obligated given the size of our tab. I'm glad I didn't pick it up.
If you're looking for a wide variety of seafood, this is the place. They have a display of all of the fresh seafood near the kitchen. Take a walk by this if you get a chance. Very impressive.
Tip - make sure you don't pick up the tab here. -

Arriving at 9:30 pm for some delicious Greek food and witnessing the hoards of people still rolling into this restaurant made me secretly wish I owned this place.
The space is big & has a clean, crisp, airy feel to it. The waitstaff are exremely attentive, and the food is probably the freshest I've had in a long time.
The only downfall is that this place is overpriced and doesn't have your usual home cooked Greek dishes like chicken souvlaki, spanakopita and the like.
This is the place to come to if you're craving fish...but prepare yourself for the price. Four of us ordered a large fish to share which ended up costing $140. I can understand the fish is fresh and was once swimming in the cool meditteranean waters, but $140 for a fish is a little crazy!
I'm tossing up between a 3 star or 4 star, so I'll go with 4 for the feshness and taste of the food, but 3 star for being ridiculously overpriced. -

Hands down one of the best beside Limani if you have been to the long island location. This place is great, the setup is amazing. The decor is just so greek it makes you think that you are on a greek island!
Romantic and was perfect for a birthday setup! Liked the atmosphere, the service is also perfection..........
Despite the expensive prices....... :-) You get what you pay for in food and atmosphere.
