Our last dinner in Las Vegas was at the infamous Estiatorios Milos. There is a Manhattan location, but it has been acclaimed as one of the top restaurants in all of Las Vegas, so I had to check it out there.
We started with the Mediterranean Spreads appetizer which included 3 different Greek dips. As I swiped my pita bread through each one, the flavors got better and better. The Taramosalata had whitefish caviar, olive oil & sweet onion. It was good but I wish it had a stronger fish flavor. The Skordalia was an almond, garlic & olive oil emulsion. Basic but delicious. The Htipiti was roasted Holland peppers, feta cheese & olive oil. It has a strong pepper flavor, which I absolutely loved. My favorite dip with the Tzatziki which is Greek yogurt, cucumber, and garlic. It was thicker than other types of tzatziki I have had.
We ordered the Calamari as well which was lightly fried with lemon. It was a bit over-salted but delicious none the less.
Estiatorios Milos has a wonderful fresh fish selection. My friend and I decided to share the Black Sea Bass for 2. It was served with olive oil and lemon sauce. Basic, but perfect for a summer fish dish.
We ended with Baklava. Three bites of sweet, crunchy, flakey goodness. Not how I would usually picture Baklava, but Milos' take is just as wonderful.
Overall, the service was spotty but everyone there was very knowledgeable
