    We had a wonderful dinner and I can’t wait to go again!! We were promptly seated for our reservation. The server offered us drinks right away. We had the spit roasted lamb (the special of the night) and the whole grilled branzino. Oh, started with the lamb meatballs and grilled artichokes and peppers. Finished the night with the ice cream sundae. Everything was outstanding!

    Visited Milos Meze yesterday and had the Lavraki, and it was fantastic! The fish was cooked to perfection—crispy on the outside and super tender inside. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the service was spot-on.

    We had lunch here before a Saturday show, and it was a lovely experience. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive, and the seating was comfortable. We started with hummus, which was mild and smooth and accompanied by the softest, most pillowy warm pitas ever. For our entrees, we had the beef pita sandwich, steak souvlaki, lamb chops, and the makaronia pasta. My son said that the lamb was tender and flavorful. My older son really enjoyed his sandwich, and my husband loved the souvlaki. The pasta was amazing, with a light but richly flavored sauce with briny pops from the capers contrasting with the earthy mushrooms and spinach.

    Service was excellent- there was only one waitress but she was attentive and on top of things. Yet the restaurant was not very crowded. The food was good, and the quantities were plentiful. My one constructive comment would be that the owner was not attentive at all, especially since the place was not too busy. She should’ve greeted us at our table and made sure everything was great. She basically ignored us.
