Estiatorio Milos
“I had the grilled octopus, tomato salad, Loup de Mer and Walnut Cake.”
“Our white flaky fish was prepared simply grilled with olive oil, lemon and capers and served filleted.”
“The second course was the Loup de mer which was a whole filled slice of fish heaven drizzled with olive oil and adorned with fresh herbs and lemon.”

Was here a few years ago, and returned tonight after the theater, John Patrick Shanley's PRODIGAL SON (very good btw).
Still pricey, but good ocean fresh seafood options. Enjoyed East Coast oysters from the familiar Island Creek hailing from Massachusetts. The Salmon tartar was thinly sliced, marinated, deliciously delicate. Good generous pour of chardonnay by the glass.
Ease your mind, relax and enjoy. You're worth it.
there were two things that deserves a 5 star:
– milos special : zucchini chips with an amazingly delicious dipping sauce
– carabinero from Spain for $95/lb, super expensive but totally worth a taste. We got 4 of them and it was 1.32lbs. Dont be shy with it, get your hands dirty and suck the juice out of the prawn head and lick your fingers dry at the end. Also try it without any lemon and sherry first then try it by squeezing some lemon on it and dipping it in the sherry. You'll feel like you're flying. Trust me.
Everything else was pretty good but not sure if it's worth the hefty price tag. If you can expense a meal for work, come here!
The service was so-so, they weren't very nice. I know you're busy serving but also please make it an enjoyable experience for the guests!
Think upscale Taverna Kyclades….Beautifully prepared food and an elegant, chic atmosphere! They have a magnificent display of their seafood, from which you can chose your fish. We settled on the Sea Bass, which they prepared perfectly! We paired that with grilled vegetables and fingerling potatoes – both decadent and delicious in their own right!
Like several of the other patrons, we had a Broadway show to catch, and so our server made sure to be prompt with bringing everything out. Overall, a wonderful indulgence!
I really love the food here. If I were a big baller (bankers, which most of the clientele seems to consist of) I would eat here all the time, but considering I'm not even remotely a small tiny baller, I try to refrain. The crowd is not what I'm used to, it's an older suit crowd probably doing client dinners but the food is delicious. I love the greek salad, any thing from the raw bar and all the different sea creatures that can be picked out on the line up on ice. The grilled octopus appetizer is delicious as well!
Estiatoria Milos opened in 1997 as the off-shoot of a Montreal restaurant. The New York location quickly became the crown jewel of the Milos restaurant collection and the Athens location is sucking wind. C'est la vie…
Milos was first to make good 'ole rustic Greek food gourmet. Not because they altered the ageless recipes by much, but because they served the same recipes with the best possible ingredients. This includes fish flown daily from the Mediterranean giving new meaning to 'flying fish.'
It's always packed and it is very expensive. Dinner for two with a decent wine will cost you the average monthly payment on a Mercedes E350 lease. And since you can't eat the Benz you may as well shell it out for an exquisite Greek meal at Milos. There's also an army of waiters circling to serve you.
What to order? The overpriced fish of course. I'm partial to the lavraki (Loup de mer or Mediterranean sea bass) It's a lot cheaper than hopping on a plane to Athens and sans the jet lagged. For dessert have the Greek yogurt with all the trimmings and Greek coffee–as Dr. Oz calls it (Greek coffee is actually Turkish coffee). Oh and try booking a meal on Orthodox Easter eve in order to experience the Easter festivities with about 14 full lambs on the spit roasting for hours on a NYC sidewalk (really).
Well with all the hype we had high expectations. This is a place to be fussy at – ask for a taste of each wine, talk with the waiter about the different types of fresh fish flown in daily from the Mediterranean, take your time & pace the courses, etc.
We were here between shows (fun home & the humans) but had almost 3 hours. The pre-theater menu is highly recommended & other reviewers recommended the octopus & loup de mer but unfortunately they were out of Octopus his Saturday night (really?). I opted for the grilled shrimp, crab cake & fava bean pate – very good, but not Octopus. My partner decided to go big with the two small fresh fish called Barbouni grilled with olive oil & served with fresh lemon & capers – very sweet & flavorful. Additionally we had the Greek salad which had excellent ripe tomatoes and also the boiled/sautéed potatoes nicely served with olives, oregano & capers, plus an order of the grilled vegetables – very fresh & prepAred well, esp the eggplant.
Overall it is a pricey spot & a place to be "seen" but the service was well organized & efficient , food quality outstanding and our Greek white wine a nice complement to the fresh flavors.
My husband has been raving about this fancy Greek/Mediterranean restaurant that he has been taking his clients to and so we decided to celebrate our second wedding anniversary here. Bottom-line, ditch the menu and go for the fresh seafood at their fish market display. From here, you get to create your own menu. You may pay heftier price but it's definitely worth your money. Tourists tend to fall for the pre-fixes because it appears you get more bang for your buck but at the end, you get mediocre food. If you're here, might as well just splurge and experience the authenticity. We ordered a couple of barbouni fish as a starter where they fried it. It's almost like eating fried mackerel except bonier and the meat is softer. We also got this amazing fresh scallop, which was still moving when we were inspecting it at the fish market. We also ended getting this huge pan fried fish (forgot the name) that both me and my husband shared and it was super soft and tender. The only thing we ordered from the menu was the zucchini chips/fries that everyone recommended and so do I. Overall, the food is great here and expect to spend some money. Service could be a little more warm and welcoming though, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. I felt some of the staff here were giving judgmental looks. It was so obvious that they were doing the up and down look; especially the hostesses at the front with their RBFs. It's not like my husband and I were wearing jeans and t-shirts and we were actually dressed for the occasion.
It is my favorite Greek restaurant in New York. I was brought here by a Greek co-worker. In particular the seafood, is phenomenal. In my opinion, it has the best salmon entrée anywhere (Sorry Seattle. I think I like this salmon more even if it is farmed salmon). The restaurant is beautiful. The ambiance is perfect and upscale. In addition, it has the freshest basil you will ever find. How fresh? They have a small pot of basil still growing at your table and cut it straight from the plant into your olive oil for your bread. It is really not necessary to dine here for Restaurant Week. They have the same prix-fixed menu for lunch regardless. It is only a few dollars cheaper for Restaurant Week. I recommend Milos anytime of the year if you want a nice Mediterranean meal for business or pleasure.
