| - This was one of my very first reviews, and the place still holds a special place for me all these years later.
I'd say not much has changed, but "Milo's Wine Bar" has become "Milo's Cellar". The menu selection has expanded past the original (but still all there) salad and sandwich fare, and the soups.... I'm calling a "time out" on this review for a moment:
Get the soup. No matter what day it is, or what selection it is. Get the soup. Three years later, every variety and flavor that I have ever tried are delicious. The worst decision made is when they offer two types of soups because I know that after I have my say, a single tear will roll down my cheek for "the other soup that could have been". :(
Back to the rest of the review, they have daily specials, which are excellent. Their "Zin Chili" is to die for (I know, back to the soups), and they're really done some great things to expand their menu and keep things fresh.
For the wine connoisseur, their selection is excellent, varied, and affordable. I've walked away many a time with a new bottle in tow, which makes for an excellent souvenir of the experience.
Consistency wise, the place still looks the same, and the service is friendly, welcoming, and good. I will say, however, that sometimes, even during a not so busy time, they will recognize/acknowledge you as they pass, but not close out the table when it's obvious that you're done. When the plates are pushed away or gone, the credit card is on the edge of the table, and you're head tracking the server as they pass by for a few minutes, that's likely a good sign people are ready to go. Fortunately, it's a minor problem that can be easily remedied, but it unfortunately has happened to us more than once, and it takes a little wind out of the sails of an otherwise enjoyable experience.
But it's a very minor issue and does nothing to dissuade my overall enjoyment of this place. It's great food. The people are super nice even if there is an occasional hiccup, and the whole feel of the dining experience and surrounding area is intimate and wonderful. I make it a point to bring friends and family here, and it's always raved about. Understandably so. Their food and wine is excellent, and don't even get me started on the whole soup thing again.
Need a date place away from all the casino craziness of the Strip? This is my top personal recommendation. And go at night. The day experience is enjoyable, but walking out of the restaurant into the quiet nights of Boulder City definitely makes for a memorable experience.
