| - Price fixe lunch at Milos - three courses for just over $20, and you can add a wine pairing for $16. Some selections have an up charge, and they are well worth it.
The room is beautiful! It's open but still feels cozy. I like the varying levels of the walkways to the tables, the dark wood ceiling beams, and light stone on the pillars. We offered a choice of sitting outside on the patio or inside. The patio was a just a bit too chilly, so we opted for inside.
I started with the Greek plate of tzatziki, cheese, kalamata olive, cherry tomato, tamara, and pita bread. I was hesitant of the tamara, since it's made with fish roe, but it was by no means fishy and was really pleasant, especially when combined with a caper. The tzatziki was wonderful! Smooth, with just a hint of garlic and small diced cucumber as well as cucumber served on the side. The meze plate was served with a chardonnay, and it paired nicely with the dips and pita bread.
For my second course I chose the lamb chops (extra $10) served with broccoli and french fries. They were incredibly tender, juicy, seasoned perfectly and everyone at the table loved them. The broccoli and the french fries were a nice surprise - a very delicate taste to the broccoli (was it a hint of lemon? If so, it was so light that it was a beautiful complement without overpowering) and perfectly cooked french fries also with a delicate sprinkle of herb (perhaps thyme?). This course was served was a Greek Merlot. That was fun! I've never had a Greek Merlot, and it paired nicely with the lamb.
For dessert I chose the Greek yogurt services with raspberries and a slight drizzle of raspberry sauce. I was expecting a bitter taste, but it instead had a kiss, just a hint, of sweetness.
Beautiful setting, very good food, and service was what I expected. Nicely done!
