| - My parents were in town and wanted to treat me and my friend to a nice dinner, so we went to Milo's for dinner. It's located in this cute little building kinda out in the middle of an empty field, but everything inside the building is really nicely done. There're lots of bright paintings hung on the walls, and generally gives off the ambiance of a really nice sit-down dinner place where you can chat with friends over wine or bring a date.
Servers were all very nice and prompt, and the portions were HUGE! I had their tilapia ($17), and they served one of the biggest pieces of fish I have ever seen. My dad ordered their pork porterhouse and also got a huge slab of meat. My mom's salmon and my friend's mushroom ravioli were a bit more normal sized. As for quality, everything was delicious. The tilapia was lemony, buttered, and breaded, and the fish was thin enough for all the flavoring to soak in but not thin enough to be anywhere near insubstantial. The vegetable risotto that accompanied it was delicious as well. Everyone else seemed satisfied with their food as well, though my father's hoisin porterhouse had a bit too much hoisin sauce slathered onto it, which made it saltier than it could have been.
Overall, a very satisfying dinner for reasonable prices (probably an average $20 per entree). 4 stars for solid comfort food that's done well in a very nice setting. On a more random note, we noticed (or maybe this is just on Thursday nights...or maybe just that particular Thursday night) that the clientele consisted pretty much entirely of older Caucasian women, who would cast a couple of curious, innocuous glances our way throughout the evening (everyone in our party was Asian). We didn't mind though; my parents joked that maybe they thought we were celebrities =P
