Best Calamari, grilled shrimp and lobster in town, not to mention their fishes, especially the loup de mer. Although expensive, well worth it. The food seems deceptively simple. However, they know how to balance the delicate flavors of seafood with a combination of olive oil, lemons, garlic and light seasonings. The result is divine. The true taste of the seafood is never over powered. Don't forget the Baklava nor the yogurt and honey for desert. Whether a quick power lunch or 5 course dinner, Milos is simply the best. Pros: Food and ambience Cons: Price

Mortified my in front of my client! On 8/9/06, I took a client out to lunch at this place. Spent about one hour and twenty minutes. We were just about to wrap up and close the deal when the manager came and asked us to leave because we were spending too much time. He offered us a drink at the bar, but my client has a strict no drinking during work policy. I used to be a repeat customer who ordered the most expensive items and multiple coarses during the meal as these are business lunches. I don't think 1 hr and 20 minutes is unreasonable. This is not a McDonald's and I was shocked. We had to finish the last five minutes of our conversation out on 55th street!!! At these prices, they should expect the average customer to "dine" and not eat like they have just gone through the drive-thru. What a shame, the food is awesome. If you are trying to close a deal, don't go there!

This is going to make a dent in your wallet... so try to schedule a business meeting here! If the variety of fish is overwhelming, allow your waiter to help you decide. The fish can be shared by the entire table or each diner can have his own. The grilled octopus was exquisite, very soft. The Loupe De Mer was delicate and flavorful, and the snapper (I forgot which one exactly) was meaty and moist. The fish is not overly spiced so as not to detract from the fish's true flavor. It is perfect for summer dining! If you still have room for dessert, indulge yourself. The yogurt is quite flavorful and unique (from goat's milk?) and the portion is large - however, I was too full to really enjoy it. If you still want a little something, the fresh fruit is certainly big enough to share. What a magical place!! Pros: Fresh fish, Wide variety/selection, excellent staff/waiters Cons: Loud/noisy, Expensive (but worth it)

The fishnet on the Mediterranean white walls, the flickering candelight and the freshest seafood around makes an evening at Estiatoria Milos, a night to remember. The food is great but the little touches make it especially enjoyable - the little oregano plant on your table that is clipped into your olive oil to eat with bread, the chatty waiter who suggests good wine and the glistening seafood laid out for you to choose from on mounds of ice. Expect to wait, even if you have a reservation. Pros: fresh seafood, ambience

Calling Milos a Greek restaurant is a bit unfair. YOu won't see any of the traditional shtick here. It is more like an Aegean restaurant. They focus on fresh fish in light preparations. The fish are set out on ice so patrons can gaze at the offering s and select a fish. This helps the restaurant sell a lot of very expensive fish. The good news is the kitchen will cook it too perfect. The fish is then brought to the table and served by and expert. It's quite an elegant process. Feel free to order off the menu. The grilled octopus is light and lacks the standard chewiness of other spots. The tomato salad is another great starter. The white Greek wine by the glass is refreshing and crisp. The fixed menu limits you from a select your fish experience, but it's fast, and with give you a great meal before the theater. Dessert is standard stuff, better to splurge on fish.

As a frequent and recent visitor to Milos, I have nothing but positive comments. The service has always been excellent, and I have always been seated promptly with a reservation. From food to beverages the staff clearly enjoy their jobs, especially the sommelier who pointed out some terrific, reasonably priced selections that paired very nicely with the fish. I have yet to find fresher, more expertly prepared fish anywhere in NY. The beauty of the fish really shines in Milos' simple preparations. Yes, the food may be high priced relative to other parts of the country, but for upscale dining in NY, considering the quality of food and care they take to ensure the best selections I found it very reasonable. An excellent spot for both business and pleasure.

I have lived in NY for about 6 years and have eaten at many/most top restaurants in the city. And I have never been treated as poorly as at Milos. After making our party wait for about an hour past our reservation time (which we chalked up to it being a busy Friday night), they gave us a wobbly makeshift table that was set up in the path of the staff rushing out of the kitchen. When we asked for a different table, we were told that it would be another hour...and this news was conveyed without any sense of apology or effort to make us comfortable in any way. Really ridiculous for such overpriced food. Cons: Rude service

extremely expensive service nothinggreat - fresh but so expensive - wines ok but the waiters have no clue ordered a calf Chard they brought me some australian one and tried to coax me into approving it I ask the guy just give me the wine i ordered they couldnt find ordered another calif chard couldnt find it , so i drank the australian towards the end after we finished the first bottle they asked me if i wanted another wine i said ok so then appeared my first choice Calif chard. it was so unprofessional.asked for the owner he hasnt been there in a long time he is spending alot of time in greece they told me, thats great for him but at those prices he should be focused at his rest. kind of got the feeling of eating in a glorious diner and taking out a loan for dinner. Pros: nice place, good food Cons: staff clueless, EXPENSIVE RIP OFF, no personal touch

As someone who grew up in the mediterenean area, I Ilove this kind of food and I grill fish frequently. The food at Milos is good and simple. just the way it should be, nothing sophisticated. However, it's way overpriced. Greek food, specially grilled fish is simple. It is simple to make and simple to serve and usually doesn't take a $30K cooking school to learn. Even the drinks at the bar are above the average ($30 for 2 simple drinks)..and for the price the bartenders could be a little nicer. There are many other places in the city where you can get the same food for 1/4 of the price. I'll probably will never go again. Pros: Food, Service Cons: Price, Price, Price

I live in Minnesota, a place were seafood means beer battered Walleye. Being an native Chicagoian however, I know all kinds of fish, and most of my dinners that I cook at home are fresh fish. I have to say, the fish selection here is mind blowing! The 'cold ice' display is amazing, everything from Greek Pageot, to Protugease St. Francis, to Seabass from North Caroline. It's all here and it's all fresh! I had the Pageot (A kind of Greek snapper). It was amazing, but very simply prepared as well. $78 for a 2lb fish seemed like alot (If I had a whole Pageot, I could probably prepare it the way they did.) But hey, you can't buy Pageot in MN! And if they sold it, i'm sure they'd pronounce it PA-GEE-OT :). Also good Octopus appitizer. Pros: Selection, All fish is fresh, Attentive service Cons: A bit pricey
