Estiatorio Milos is a beautiful fine-dining establishment where they clearly pay attention to every detail--from the stunning decor to the pristine bathrooms. However, considering the price point, the overall experience fell short of expectations.
The Food:
If you prefer lighter, simple flavors, you will enjoy it here. However, if you are looking for a "wow" factor or unique culinary adventure, this might not be the place.
* Seafood is the specialty: Stick to the fish.
* The Lamb Chops: While delicious, the flavor was very common and something you could find at many other restaurants.
Advice for the Restaurant / Owners:
* Mosquito Control: The patio had a significant mosquito problem. I suggest using candles or repellent devices. Additionally, the host should ask guests if they prefer indoor or outdoor seating; we were seated outside without being asked and would have preferred staying inside.
* Wait Times: Our reservation was at 5:00 PM. We arrived 5 minutes early to a completely empty restaurant, yet we were told to wait for our table to be "ready." This was confusing and unnecessary.
* Service/Water: We requested regular water, but our waiter brought a $9 bottle instead. I noticed this happening at other tables as well, which felt like an intentional up-sell rather than a mistake.
Tips for Future Guests:
* Parking: Use the parking garage nearby. Street parking has a 2-hour limit, and dinner here will take at least 2 hours.
* Seating: Be very clear if you want to sit indoors to avoid mosquito bites.
* Reservations: The restaurant is large but gets very busy, so book in advance.
Final Verdict:
It is a good restaurant, but it doesn't make my "Top List" of fine dining. For a truly perfect experience, I recommend Smith & Wollensky (Miami/Chicago) or Bha! Bha! Persian Bistro in Naples for flavors that are truly out of this world.
Total we paid: almost $565 (plus tips) for 1 appetizer, 2 fish, 1 lamb, 2 sides, and 2 bottle of water. Group of 4
