| - I went to Le Milsa for a friend's birthday party (we were about 20). Let me pre-face my review by saying I can eat and when I say I can eat, that means I can go until I'm ready to burst and then go a little more. I'm not a big guy, but if I am presented with an all-you can meat menu, I take full advantage of it.
That being said, at the beginning they came around with bread (I passed), rice, mushrooms, salads that were set on the table. If I wanted rice, I would have that at home. If I wanted mushrooms I could have them at home (I did try them and they weren't bad), and if I wanted salad, well..... I'd go to a salad bar. Everything comes off these big skewers. They start coming around first with chicken (you want near the middle or middle bottom), otherwise it seems a little dry. Next came sausages (a little salty), and then bacon wrapped turkey (I passed as turkey makes me nauseous, but everyone at my table loved them), then came the lamb (again like the chicken, you want the middle or middle bottom), finally the last round is the filet mignon. The filet was nice, tender, very soft, and most importantly not over cooked.
After about an hour of them coming around, people start turning over their tickets that they don't want anymore, but I stay green. The guy thinking I forgot tries to take my plate and I take it out of his hands. He asks me what I want, I told him the filet mignon, he asks the rest of the table if they want coffee and ice cream. Another waiter comes back with the deserts and tries to take my plate away. Again I take it out of his hands and tell him what I'm waiting for. He says he'll be right back. A third waiter shows up with the coffees and seeing my empty plate tries again to take it away, I again take it out of his hands. He asks me what I want and I tell him. I'm beginning to think I'm in a battle of wills and I'm not backing down. Finally a waiter comes by, fills up my plate with filet mignon and I was quite content. I managed to have their desert, a bowl of ice cream (vanilla) and their roasted pinapple with cinamon which was surprisingly good. I'm going to have to figure out how to make that at home.
Overall cost for the meal I find reasonable for what it is, however their alcohol, beer, and wine prices are way to expensive. The prices of wines seemed about 10$ more than other restaurants I've been to. A pint of beer is 8.50 and a pitcher is 25$. That is a little bit exaggerated for beer prices. A martini was 10$, a glass of scotch was 8.50$ and a double was 14$. You could get some wine by the glass, but they were 8.50$.
The dancing was fine and not too in your face as some others have written. They went around, took the birthday boy for a dance, I even got up to dance, all in all the "dancing" lasted about 5 minutes in my section of the restaurant and then moved on to elsewhere. It was a nice distraction, but nothing more, nothing less.
All in all, for my wife and I with two meals, 1 bottle of wine and a pint of beer, it was 150$ tax and tip in. Although I gave a 4 star rating, I would have preferred to give a 3.5.
