| - Terribly disappointing restaurant after going there with such high hopes, especially after perusing the menu and learning about the chef.
When you're paying this kind of money for dinner, first and foremost you expect at the minimum good service and realistically the service should be superior. Milos delivered the worst service my wife and I have experienced a restaurant at this price point.
Not seeing your server for 15 minutes after getting seating was our first clue. To her credit, my wife suggested that we leave, but I foolishly wanted to stick it out. Eventually our server arrived, visibly frazzled and edgy. He blew through the menu and specials like he was being timed in a race. We never received bread, though I felt we hit the lottery when the assistant sommelier took care of pouring our wine, because we knew our server would not.
To our left, the gentleman had to send back his undercooked steak, and then had to flag down his server for the check. To our right, the woman demanded a new server and asked for the manager. Salt in the wound... for some reason they didn't replace the server.
To show that Milos discriminates against no one, our server was also serving the Cosmo CEO and his guest. From what I could tell, he was on the receiving end of the same treatment.
And the perfect cherry for this Greek sundae of awfulness... on our way out my wife met two women in the restroom who were also complaining that the service was the "worst they've experienced."
Oh, I guess I should say something about the food. Terribly overpriced stone crab claws w/ bland sauce (though quite fresh). My wife's oysters were superb, and the Milos special was tasty. We had the same fish for our main course. I found it decent but hardly worth the price, with an overly salty sauce. And both fish were full of bones, though they're supposed to be de-boned. We didn't stick around for dessert because we had already been there for over two hours.
The atmosphere was disappointing as well. Incredibly loud and bright inside - absolutely not a romantic environment if that's what you're thinking/seeking.
Milos - get your act together, and do it quickly. Not that I'll ever know, because I'll never return.
