Cafe Milou

i ate here with 2 other friends on friday, 12/20. i usually like to view menus online to have an idea ahead of time, but there are only so many restaurants that list it. i chose this restaurant because it had such a good rating (9.8), but i really have no idea why. it's a relatively small restaurant, and the host took our orders. he had a very cold manner, and when we asked him again what the specials were, he seemed very annoyed. the waitress was probably new, because she had no idea what wine they had, or if they had a certain type by the glass or bottle, and kept going back to the bar to find out. the menu was simple and did not have much variety. i definitely will not go back here. the food wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't great or impressive at all. more

We were looking for a reasonably priced french restaurant and saw Cafe Milou listed in City Search. First of all, when we arrived, we loved the decor of the place. The woman who greeted us was very friendly, the wait staff was great and we felt really well taken care of without being intruded upon. Everything was very reasonably priced and delicious. We sat at our table through drinks, wine, appetizer, dinner, dessert and coffee for a couple hours and never felt rushed. It was a great NY restaurant experience. more

I like this place---small, intimate and veyr charming. I love the decor, and the fireplace is very romantic. The food ain't half bad either! more
