"When you’re looking for Mediterranean north of Lombard St, head to Milos Meze. The Greek restaurant is a neighborhood standby for dipping endless amounts of pita into creamy tzatziki and red pepper htipiti. Despite the stiff dining room with uncomfy emerald velvet chairs that are pushed too close together, the food makes dining here a great experience. Stick with the basics on the menu: oregano lamb chops are juicy, bubbling saganaki is so good you’ll happily risk burning your mouth for another bite, and the tender souvlaki is the best in the city." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
