Review from Mélanie C.

Pretty damn good!
Not the best/most authentic Greek food I've had, but definitely delicious.I went with my parents to celebrate my mother's birthday, her choice. We shared the 'tiropita' (three cheeses bakes in phyllo) for a starter. We were all pleased (crispy, melty cheeses). My father had the ribs (?)... he's picky about ribs, they weren't great, but no bad. My mother had delectable 'Garlic Tiger Prawns'. I went with my old stand-by of chicken souvlaki (I don't eat pork or beef) and was not disappointed. The platter came with Greek potatoes or rice (I chose the potatoes: good, but did not like the lemon tang though my parents did) and roast vegetables. Though the chicken was tasty and moist with nice and tangy tzatziki, the highlight for me: the roasted vegetables. Not only were they plentiful, but various (carrots, zucchini, broccoli, cauliflower, onions and a couple more) and flavourful ; )
As we were there a week-end night, we got a belly-dancing show. Not my thing (a little gimmicky and un-authentic) but some patrons seemed to enjoy it. Once the light from the skylight faded, it was a little dark (like a taverna), some Greek knick-knacks were in the entry level. The music was more Arabic (as mentioned) than Greek, but that was ok. It was 'busy' the whole time we were there -the whole middle level was constantly turning over, a couple tables on the upper level were occupied, but the lower level was empty. The service was ok.
I wd definitely go back! -

My fiance and I came here because our hotel was giving out a coupon and thank goodness they did because it was soo good. When we got there it wasn't that packed I think we were the only other couple there but we heard it was packed during certain hours. We ordered the Humus and Pita bread appy and it was one of the best humus' I've ever eaten and the pita was nice and warm. My fiance ordered the spanokapita which came with veggies which were perfectly seasoned and buttered and a choice of rice or potatoes and the waitor recomended the potatoes so my fiance got the potatoes and they were so good! I wish I asked how they make them they are so amazing!!! I ordered the feta chini which was a pasta with feta and alfredo and it was really good but needed a tiny bit of salt. The drinks we ordered were soooo good! I had the mediterranean and the alexander the great they both were delicious they were fruity and the perfect drink for a night out. My fiance ordered the crete island which was blended milk vodka banana liquer coco de creme and a orange and cherry garnish it was not a very strong tasting drink but it was still really yummy if you dont like in your face drinks. We highly suggest coming here for dinner, sadly we didnt come when the belly dancers where there but we heard that they are amazing.

We ate here for lunch. It was our group of 6 and about 2 other groups. Not sure how busy it is at dinner, but lunch was a bit of a dead zone.
Prices were a bit more than you would hope for. Not too expensive, but for what you get a few bucks cheaper would be nice. Liked the pita, but the chicken skewer I got was a bit skimpy for the price.
While you are waiting for your food to come you get a basket of bread. Pretty good flavor.
Decor is fine, but a bit weird. Maybe it tries to hard? or is a bit cheap? Does not distract too much, but I noticed something odd feeling when I walked in. Bathroom is very nice and recently re-done, but it is in a basement like area. There is a weird musty/dank/moldy smell coming from the basement area. You sort of smell it from the eating area, but for sure in the bathroom.
food flavor was good.
service was fine - not great but fine -

- charming, casual and social atmosphere - felt like we were on vacation
- very reasonable prices
- service was slow to start, but may have been idiosyncratic
- belly dance at 7:30p was certainly a conversation starter
- great place for parties of 2 to 20! (though we were only 6, I could imagine it would be a great place to host larger groups) -

My friends and I happened to randomly wander into this place, fairly hungry, and vaguely curious about the big fake windmill atop the restaurant. It took us a good three minutes till we could even see a server amidst a busy restaurant busy with the chattering of diners. We finally managed to track someone down, and get seated. The space was comfortable, and perfect for a long casual dinner with friends. I also really enjoyed the (recorded) music playing in the background (maybe something Arabic? it didn't sound Greek).
The menu looked promising. I ordered the vegetarian plate, and pita bread and tzatziki sauce as an appetizer. The meal was warm and good, but there was room for improvement. The tzatziki sauce could have been tangier, and while I enjoyed the (large) vegetarian plate, some of it felt tasteless. The server situation didn't get better. While they were personally friendly, we also didn't get a single refill on our water the enter 90+ minutes we were there. At least the prices were reasonable; our total bill was about $150 for six entrees, an appetizer, three beers, a coffee, and tips.
I'd contemplate coming back to Millos, but it wouldn't be my first choice. -

Overpriced and stingy portions. The dolmathes were good but unfortunately coated in sticky yellow glop. The food was lukewarm. The phyllo pastry soggy and unrecognizable as such. I've had better Greek food at a mall food court.

Expensive! Greek food tastes like it was made by non Greeks. At least it was still in business tonight, but hopefully for not much longer.

I couldn't possibly call myself a true Yelper without writing a review on my absolute favourite Greek Restaurant in the world. Yeah, I said it. And it's true.
Milos stands out in all the ways that matter. First of all, from a completely superficial stand point, it has a friggin windmill projecting out of it. How could you possibly miss that?!?!? And from the minute you step inside this glorious restaurant, it feels as though you've been transported into an outdoor plaza somewhere in Greece. The greenery, the decor, the ambiance, the table-settings, the menu... everything is perfect.
Next up: the service. If you want high quality service, Milos is where to go. The servers are wonderful and they are always helpful in recommending a personal favourite.
Now let's get to it: the food. THE best Greek food I have ever had. I actually dream about Milos. And every single time I'm in Victoria, I make it a point to stop in for a meal...or two...or three.
Everything from their starters to their entrees are tongue-tantalizing good. In fact, let me just give you an example of HOW good their food is. My boyfriend and I ordered the Saganaki for a starter (it's flamed cheese, so it arrives on fire). We couldn't make it through much of it because it is really filling and so on our way out, we handed it over to a homeless man. We spent about an hour walking around town and just by coincidence, we happened to run into the homeless man at a later point in the evening. He gave us the biggest smile and said "Thank you SO much for that delicious chicken!" Yup, that's right, the cheese was SO good, SO rich, SO well prepared, that a man mistook it for chicken. The food is THAT GOOD.
I highly recommend Milos to everyone out there who enjoys excellent food, excellent service, excellent surroundings and an all-around excellent experience.
I highly recommend the zucchinni sticks and Saganaki as starters!!! Oh, and don't forget to have a couple for me!!! -

We went there around 3.15pm but the dinner starts at 3.30 so we had to wait for 15 mins, which was ok, not a big deal. The first thing i noticed was the smell in this restaurant - smells like old rotten place. However, the food was great. We started with tzazliki with pita, which was so delicious. Got another appetizer too - goat cheese in flames (dont' know the name of the dish), which was a great pick too. The main course was lamp shoulder having a lot of meat on it. The price overall was great. For 4 meals and two appetizers we paid 70 Canadian dollars with tip.

I ate dinner at this restaurant during recent business trip. The food was just average and way too overpriced. The service is terrible. Furthermore the food lacked a Greek authenticity/theme. Feels like a regular steakhouse...
