While my brother and I were waiting for my Skydiving DVD to be created, we decided to get some food in Boulder City. I must say that I really like the area. It has that old town vibe and nice street dining.
At the recommendation of one of the Skydive Las Vegas crew and one of my skydive meetup group members, we headed for Milo's. It was a great choice.
I opted for the Sunday special, which was Lamb Shanks. My brother went with the Southwestern Vegetarian Wrap. He described it as having a nice peppery ranch sauce that was flavorful, while not overpowering the taste of the earthy vegetables. Also, the avocado in the wrap had a good texture i.e. not too mushy. He sounds like a better Yelper than me.
My Lamb Shank dish exceeded my expectations. I went with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing for my salad. It was very flavorful and the perfect amount of dressing for the salad size. The dish also came with a couple of bread sticks and some vinaigrette/EVOO for dipping. As for the lamb, it was perfectly cooked - tender on the inside and very tasty. I thought the wine sauce was a tad strong, but not bad by any stretch. It complemented the lamb and mashed potatoes very nicely.
For dessert, my brother decided to order the cheesecake. I had some of it and it was pretty good. Definitely a good way to end the meal.
Some of the reviews mention slow service. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I also like their credit card system. He brought it out to our table and swiped my card right there. It even has an automatic tip system. Having to forgo the math is always a plus.
Incidentally, they have a great beer selection. Monty Python's Holy Grail Ale anyone? Too bad they don't have anything on tap.
Great location. Great street dining. This place gets my approval.
