| - My husband and I recently did two nights of tapas crawling on our recent trip to Vegas. See, we had to solve our "too many restaurants, not enough goddamn time" problem somehow, so we just snagged a small plate or two from a few different restaurants. AMAZING.
Milos was so good that it ended up on our crawl both days. The first night we cozied up to the bar (I just love cozying) and got a plate of grilled octopus and a couple of Greek whites. Neither of us know a lot about Greek wine so we had a lot of questions for the bartender, and she was super helpful and let us try her two favorites before we got a full glass of something. And that octopus was something divine, people. Octopus is one of those things that is close to perfection if done right, but horrible if not done wrong. This was 100% in the former category: super fresh, grilled, and seasoned just slightly with olive oil, etc. When your seafood is this good, there's not much you have to do.
And that's what brought us back our second night. It was near the end of the crawl and what did we want? Some of the freshest seafood on the Strip. So we went back, sampled a different Greek white, and had the tasting of raw fish: salmon, tuna, sea bass, and one more white fish whose name I can't remember (booze, sorry). Again, the freshness is the star here, with just some light seasoning.
The prices are expensive here, even for Vegas. I guess they have to make up for that super reasonable lunch special all of you are talking about somehow. But, you know, for the experience, for my wonderful night, for THE FOOD, it was so worth it.
