    We recently dined at Milos on 55th Street, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. The food was incredibly well-prepared and absolutely delicious. We began with the Greek salad and perfectly grilled octopus as appetizers—both were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. For the main course, we ordered four plates of sashimi, each piece a testament to the restaurant’s dedication to quality and taste. What truly set this dining experience apart, however, was the impeccable service. The gentleman managing our section—who we believe may be Greek—was exceptionally attentive, professional, and warm. His attention to detail, along with the efforts of his assistant and another staff member, ensured we felt cared for throughout the evening. We ended our meal with aromatic coffee and a rich, creamy cheesecake, the perfect conclusion to a wonderful dinner. We highly recommend Milos for its outstanding food, exceptional service, and welcoming atmosphere. That said, it is on the pricier side, but if you can afford it, the experience is absolutely worth every penny. Thank you, Milos, for an unforgettable evening!

    We are not new to Kellari, but that is kind of the point. We visit New York frequently from DC to see theater and eat well. Some of that eating is always done here. The freshness of everything, from the fish to the beefsteak tomatoes on the salads, is remarkable. One always leaves feeling both satisfied and healthier for the experience. This time we had some spanakopita (not to be missed) and a split Greek salad (Oh, those tomatoes!) with a piece of Fagri that was perfectly fresh and exquisitely done. We had a great half-bottle of Brunello, too, from their ample selection of splits, which is great for diners like us who want a taste but can seldom finish a whole bottle. The ambiance is comfortable to the point of being family-like. As for service, it is always stellar and Phillip easily upheld that tradition. We recommend this place to all who are attracted by the menu with the highest measures of confidence and enthusiasm.
