Cuisine- Greek  Seafood Supreme

Gagit has written before about Milos , New York ,  the supreme Seafood  restaurant in the Big Apple, now Milos is opening in Miami and the Gagit’s are there along with 2 of our  foodie friends,@ildivomiami and Danny.This is not  a review but a thank you to @LexLovesFood , Costas, and the whole staff for another great dining experience at Milos.

We enter this new restaurant, reminding me of New York with the familiar Milos signature logo above the main door,see above. We are invited to the bar for a welcome drink before we sit down ,a Rye Manhatten of course , in honor of the many meals we have had in New York.

We are now seated and greeted by one of our servers, Kurt,shown above who will be joined by Rory and others in serving us tonight.We start the night by going over to the Fresh Fish Display,shown, a Milos trademark to check out the nights fish selection.We come back and order starters while we decide on our mains.Rory now comes over with fresh homemade bread , fresh local Rosemary  and there own special Olive Oil,shown ,and this alone  brings Foodiechic to a foodgasm. I pass on bread and just sip on a wonderful glass of Malagousia,above also.

Our starters arrive and are  all shown , Tomato Salad, vine -ripe tomatoes and feta like only Milos serves. Mediterranean  Octopus ,broiled served with revythada , a wow dish and I am not a  Octopus fan and the last my Milos favorite, Paper -thin Zucchini,eggplant,and saganaki cheese, lightly fried ,yogurt dressing.This is a not to be missed treat even for those of us not into eating our vegetables:)

The mains now start arriving and explained in detail by our team of servers,again all shown .My selection, Softshell Crab so fresh you can alnost feel the Bay,served with side of  light mustard sauce,along with  Beet Salad Supreme, Greek style. A grilled  turbot filet , served with olive oil and lemon sauce, perfection from the sea ,Milos style, and also Fried Barbounia, so juicy and flavorful with lemon.

We are almost  full but with desserts waiting we take a few deep  breaths and only order 4:),all shown above. Karidopita, walnut based cake served with ice cream,along with Yogurt,Greek goats’s milk with  thyme Honey from Kythera with Strawberries , the least fattening dessert. Second round, Chocolate Mousse from Montreal, eaten so fast no picture taken and finally Baklava ,layered phyllo with almonds, honey,and cinnamon,and ice cream. As I drink my Macciatto ,I could still use one me bite of the all gone Baklava, no problem,it arrives and the meal is now complete.

Let the Truth be Told,Milos in New york is a Gagit favorite,now Milos  in Miami will be a Gagit favorite. At the end of the meal , I had the pleasure to meet Costas Spiliadis, the owner who prides himself on quality  both of  his product and his service, in both areas unsurpassed We thank him for the preview and wish him Epitiheea and thank you also @LexLovesFood
