Everything about our experience at Mila’s was perfection!! From the moment we walked in we felt welcome and appreciated. The food was divine, the service was top notch and they were amazing with our three year old! Can’t say enough good things. Run, don’t walk, to this incredible spot!!

I went to frog Alley before entering Mila's . I grabbed the smallest beer. like shot glass size. the women refused me service and said I smelled of beer. 😆
I miss bar hopping in Kentucky and Vegas. I'm 39 with no kids and this was ridiculous. Happy Lent and spring break to us college break chicks.

This is a date night spot for sure! Although drinks and a small plate before a show at Bow Tie/Proctors would suit very nicely as well. The staff was helpful, attentive, and great about checking in.
Food was served in a timely manner and was presented beautifully. Food overall was delightful, we shared some starters and a few mains. Will absolutely be back.
The food was fantastic. The waitstaff was attentive and friendly. Just don’t sit in the back room (I think they call it “The Vault”?) It feels like eating in a bank, which this space apparently used to be. There is a huge difference in the ambience and atmosphere between the front of the restaurant and the back.

We had a great kickoff to the holidays with a great selection of small plates and cocktails! The whipped ricotta and focaccia were so good!! Citrus Orange cosmo was a great suggestion!

Upon arrival, the building is unassuming but once inside this historic features are beautiful with a warm ambiance and trendy, chic decor. The wait-staff are incredible; knowledgeable, patient and friendly. We ordered several specialty cocktails which were all good. The lamb shortbread was good but a lot of dough to scant filling ratio. The poached and grilled octopus small plate was just okay; I've had a lot better at several other establishments. For entrees we had the chicken skewer which came out cold, the scallops with lobster and caviar which were good but the sour cantaloupe sauce was way too thick and texturally overpowering for the dish and the braised short rib which was good but average. The dark chocolate brownie with coffee ice cream and salted caramel was for dessert. It was topped with a sesame brittle of sorts; the highlight of the dessert. The brownie was a bit dry, very cocoa forward. This is a very Instagramable place. The architectural and design details are flawless. We agreed we'd be back for cocktails and apps/small plates at the bar and maybe not take the trip for a full-on dinner based on quality. With tip, for 3 people the cost was about $405. After dinner, we had a nightcap at the bar before last call closing.

The octopus we had was much less substantial than many resteraunts of the same level. I would go elsewhere personally. Lamb Flatbread was very good.

Amazing dinner at Milas Restaurant 518 They rolled out their new menu too 🤤
Milas tonight for 6 of us. The staff and service was amazing. There is good service where your needs are met well, and then there is service delivered by genuine, likable and engaged staff that add significant value to the experience. There is a bit of a competing noise issue caused by the design of the building that resulted in the need to speak more loudly to be heard for table conversation. I would say we had most of the dishes on the menu. We had eight small plates and they are definitely small so plan accordingly. Lamb ribs, Octopus, grilled cucumber and eggplant were loved by all. The scallop crudo was just ok. The Labneh served with a beautiful herb roll was spectacular as was the Hummus with crispy chickpeas. We had a couple of kale salads and a Greek salad and all were really good. The Kale was the standout with crispy Parmesan. There were some highlights in the main dishes. The Lamb, Short Rib and Filet were exceptional. The Salmon, Branzino and Chicken Kebobs were good but made you feel like you wished you had chosen one of the other three. Overall the value was in the experience, the interesting flavors that were paired perfectly in many plates and a unique and well done cocktail and wine menu. Great fine dining option that deserves consideration. Did I say the staff were the highlight, because they most definitely were.

Milas is a spacious establishment with high ceilings and modern décor. When escorted to our seats we walked past their impressive bar. True to their mission, we ordered and received a variety of small plate Mediterranean delights. They were shared and enjoyed by all. The Manti, Tirokroketes, crispy oysters and four cheese pride were among our favorites. Our Sella and Mosca Vermentino was excellent. We will gladly revisit, perhaps with a table in the rear room, past the impressive vault door.
