Absolutely Incredible Experience at Milos Meze!
I recently dined at Milos Meze, and let me just say--this was hands down some of the BEST, most flavorful food and service I've experienced in a long time. If you're thinking about going, do it. You will not be disappointed!
Our server, Mukhlisa, was amazing--super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. You could tell she genuinely cared about our experience. The entire staff was on point. They were quick to clear any dirty dishes, replacing them with fresh silverware and plates without us even asking. They also boxed up our leftovers promptly. As someone who used to work in the service industry, I really appreciate those details--and Milos Meze nails it.
Now, the food. Magnificent. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and well-balanced. I had the charred octopus--cooked to perfection. My friend ordered the steak, and it was perfecto--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. We also shared the salmon, and wow... just so good. The tzatziki cream was phenomenal--tangy, smooth, and the perfect complement to everything. I legit didn't want to put my spoon down.
The owner/chef, Ali, was walking around the restaurant making sure every guest was happy and taken care of. It felt like we were being treated like family. After our meal, he stopped by our table and even showed us videos on his phone of how he sources and marinates his meats. You could tell he's passionate about what he does.
To top it all off, he surprised us with an unforgettable dessert--the best baklava I've ever had. It came with fresh strawberries glazed in honey, a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, and that warm, thick, crispy baklava with fresh walnuts. Absolute heaven.
I took photos of everything (because how could I not?). The place is warm, welcoming, and spotless. They've only been open for six months, but Milos Meze is already a gem in the heart of San Francisco. Make a reservation--they get busy for a reason. I'll definitely be back!
