Manhattan Sojourn
Eats: Milos, 124 West 55th Street, New York, NY
It was a rainy spring day but it did not dampen my spirits in embarking on a gastronomical adventure at this upscale Mediterranean restaurant in Manhattan. I like the concept of a high ceiling giving patrons a semblance of wide spaces and those white tapestries cascading down adds a dramatic touch. White is of course, the dominant color of the interiors but it wonderfully complements the wood furnishings. The fish display is overwhelming but one could see and smell the freshness of the bounty of the sea.
This big Greek style jar greets you at the foyer.
Fish Display featuring the fresh bounties.
Milos Special - paper-thin zucchini, eggplant and saganaki cheese, lightly fried.
Fried Calamari and those heavenly Crab Cakes!
Lobster Pasta
Yogurt with honey and fresh fruit platter.
We started off with the Milos Special, an addicting appetizer of lightly friend paper-thin zucchini, eggplant and saganaki cheese stacked almost a foot high. My favorite was the Crab Cakes so tenderly cooked to perfection that we ordered for another. My main course was the Lobster Pasta, a tad indulgent but it was my first time to taste lobster with pasta and it was very good. Plus, you get to choose between a low calorie and a semolina pasta, I chose the former. Our lunch ended on a high note with Karidopita, walnut-based cake topped with ice cream, which was not too sweet just the way I like it. Plus, a treat of Milo’s famous yogurt with honey on a platter of fresh fruits brought lunch to a close.
I left Milos feeling delightfully satisfied and surprisingly light not with that heavy feeling that you were beaten to death because of over eating. It was all good!
Scorecard:
Food – Outstanding
Ambience – Very Good
Service – Outstanding
Price – worth the freshness and quality of the food
