Excellent food, service and atmosphere Reservations were appreciated
The sandwiches were wonderful. Great gluten free bread. Delicious Ruben and potato salad.
This place is always dependably good, great service,excellent food, clean environment.
Love Milton’s. Causal dining with great food and service.
This is one of my favorite places to eat. The food is always good, service is fast and friendly and the bakery is full of delicious treats. When we presented our treats to the grand kids at the sleepover, they were thrilled. Thanks for a special family time.
We came here for Easter Sunday Brunch (really). Great all-around, as usual.
Great service, great food. Tough to leave without pastries.
Milton's never disappoints. Great food, friendly service! ♥️
We were excited to eat here and the food was meh. It wasn't worth the 75 bucks. I had high expectations since this was a known restaurant for their rueben sandwiches.
The pluses: our server was fabulous.
The eggs Benedict with the pesto was excellent
The negative:
pastrami was dry and tasteless and lumped in the middle of the bread so
there were meatless areas.Had to open the bread and rearrange the meat
The corned beef has had peppers in it which made it taste strange
The noise level was horrible and it wasn't even full. We sat at a table for 4
(there were 3 of us) and we couldn't carry on a conversation without yelling at
the one across from you.
It was so wonderful to have Sunday Brunch again at Milton’s!
Food and service was great.
Service was very good and Covid space nice.
Food was great large portions and service was awesome!
Chris was A++!
Outdoor dining due to restrictions, otherwise friendly staff & great food.
Had a great dinner in celebration of Purim. Top notch service with tasty food.
Delicious sándwiches!! the matze ball very tasty. very delicius fud
Open table, useless... it's carry out only. The food is okay, a little pricy for a sandwich, but that's life in the time of covid
WHY DO YOU WANT AN ESSAY! IS THIS A CLASS??????????????????????????????????????
Good deli, but not great. We would return.
Excellent service and delicious food...!
Great lunch and Breakfast had by all! Thank you Miltons
Shannon was our hostess and Pam our server. Have never had such amazing service We had a delightful and delicious lunch. We had 9 people asking everything imaginable of everyone and they were so organized and helpful. Totally one of the best luncheons ever. Can’t wait to be back.
The menu is great for a deli in San Diego. Our waitress was great. The rest of the staff had a lot to be desired. The staff needs serious training. I was there with my 88 year old mother-in-law and it was challenging for the staff to operate the handicap lift. Waited forever to pay for a bakery item due to staff confusion. No real line.
Great place amazing food. Will definitely be going back
Milton's was everything I hoped it would. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. The noise level was a little loud but we were outside and the parking lot was right there so there wasn't really anything they could do. Which is fine because they are following guidelines for Covid and that in and of itself was great. We felt safe and didn't have too worry about it being crowded.
The pancakes were burned I can’t believe that the waitress served them!
Service and food was excellent they are doing everything right with all the changes due to CVID.
This is a great authentic deli with many specialties and unique menu items not available anywhere else. The menu is extensive for anytime of day and prices are very reasonable for the quality and amount of food. Despite the special COVID accommodations, the outdoor dining experience was very comfortable and no compromises in meal quality or service. The reuben, matzaball soup and pastrami philly sandwich were outstanding in flavor, freshness, authenticity and portion size. We will definitely be back on our next visit through San Diego!
During Covid, a lot of restaurants are doing outdoor dining. Milton's outdid themselves by putting shrubs and artificial grass (looks real) and heaters on their patio for their customers comfort. The food at Milton's is outstanding. Went for their delicious crepes, but it was not included in the outdoor dining menu.
Excellent food and service . Love the selection and as good as the New York deli’s and Langers in Los Angeles
Milton’s has gone way above and beyond creating a very pleasant outdoor dining experience.
Ordered a corned beef sandwich. It looked very full but when I opened it for condiments only the center where cut was filled and the rest of the bread was totally empty. First time there and disappointed.
We sat on one f their outdoor patios. Tables are set up under canopies on a fake grass setting. The servers were attentive and pleasant, and the food was fabulous, as it always is.
We brought our small dog and had to eat in a separate outdoor area located at the entrance which felt like a dungeon because it's underground. We decided to make the most of it though and ordered our food. The waitress forgot to put in one of our orders, so they had to wait while everyone else ate. She was kind to bring them a small bowl of soup in the meantime. The actual food wasn't worth the high prices. Their large salads were basically just lettuce and some chicken thrown on top. I also felt like they weren't taking any precautions with covid. They gave us a plate of pickles to start and 3 dirty plates. It just felt like we were eating at a place that should be charging half what they were charging.
I don't like to give bad reviews. I used to really like this place, but it just wasn't the same this time.
Wonderful as always, and was pleasant to eat outdoors during this pandemic
We had a great dinner and the outside dining was nicely set up but really looking forward to eating indoors one day.
We usually love Milton’s but unfortunately this visit was not ideal. We planned to sit inside to be out of the heat, but we were warned there were flies inside because the door was open. So we sat outside. Those flies were awful. Really put a damper on the usually great experience. I recommend they keep the main door closed to keep the flies and a/c in.
1) Service - great
2) Atmosphere - great
3) Food - meh! And, that's being kind. Really need to bring it up a notch. Chinese chicken salad tasted like something we'd get in a hospital cafeteria.
4) COVID care - meh! Felt safe with tables distanced but need to have dividers at restroom sinks, hostess stand and other public places. Just not as much visible COVID safety measures as many other restaurants in the area.
5) Overall - this restaurant has great bones going for it - it really could be "the place to go"; but, it seems like Management is just riding along resting on some laurels. Shake it up a bit folks! Put a little more culinary effort back in the restaurant. We want it to be GREAT! We were let down a bit. But, gave you good rating just because we feel like there is opportunity here for you to do better. Hope this feedback is taken as constructively as it is meant to be given.
6) We do recommend Miltons! Try it if you haven't been there yet - see if you agree with us, or not!
