| - Milo's is an unassuming little restaurant tucked in Urbana east side (I believe almost what you'd call Philo). I made a reservation because of homecoming and was pleasantly surprised to find it wasn't really necessary. The location has ample parking and the dining area is open and well lit. They have a full bar and a few things on the "American style" menu including salad, pizza, and lasagna. It's an eclectic offering, almost to the point that I couldn't make a decision. I ordered the Punch with Bacardi Razz and pineapple. It was a great combination of sweet lemonade and a hint of tropical flavor. After several consultations with our very patient waiter, he literally tried to take our order 3 times but our indecision stopped progress, my friend and I decided to split the panko crusted chicken. The waiter then informed us that we would be charged $4 to split the plate as they gave us more noodles. I'm not one to put up a fight but upon reflection I don't think this is a good way to handle a consumer's request. The extra noodles should be an option and should not be $4 anyway. I mean, I could have split it myself for free. The panko crusted chicken was tasty, with a side of broccoli and green beans. For $15 ($19 if you split the plate), it was a great value and tasted pretty good. Overall the venue, service, and food were very good. I want to give it four stars but it just isn't on par with restaurants of that caliber. To me, it was just a pretty good local spot.
