estiatorio Milos Midtown offers a refined take on Greek and Mediterranean dining right in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, making it a solid choice for those seeking fresh seafood and elegant European flavors near Central Park and the theater district. The restaurant’s setting manages to feel both polished and approachable, which fits well for pre- or post-show dinners, business lunches, or relaxed evenings with friends who appreciate well-prepared fish and seasonal dishes.

The atmosphere leans toward upscale simplicity—airy, with a subtle buzz that reflects its location on 55th Street but without feeling rushed or overly formal. You’ll find the space pleasant for a quiet dinner as well as an intimate gathering, where attentive servers guide you through a menu that balances traditional Greek favorites with Mediterranean flair.

Seafood takes center stage here, particularly the Market Fish of the Day and the grilled octopus with lemon potatoes, both noted for freshness and thoughtful preparation. Fans of classic Greek meze can turn to dishes like fried saganaki cheese or the Greek spreads served with raw vegetables and pita for lighter bites. For those seeking heartier options, the Colorado lamb chops and steak tartare provide more robust flavors, while desserts such as karydopita and Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts offer a sweet finish that feels true to the region’s culinary roots.

Visiting just before or after a concert at nearby venues like Carnegie Hall is a common local rhythm. The restaurant’s portion sizes and quality make it satisfying without being overwhelming, perfect for dining with purpose before an event. Service has been a mixed point for some; while many find staff knowledgeable and welcoming, there are reports where the mood felt less warm, so it's worth noting this may vary by visit. Reservations are advisable, especially on busy nights, to ensure a seamless experience.

Overall, estiatorio Milos Midtown suits diners who value fresh, well-executed Mediterranean seafood and classic Greek ingredients in an unpretentious yet polished environment. It’s especially well-suited to food lovers who appreciate seeing the fish selections clearly displayed near the kitchen—an indication of the kitchen’s pride in its sourcing and preparation. Lunch or dinner here feels like a chance to enjoy genuine flavors without the fuss, right in one of New York’s busiest neighborhoods.

Wow wow wow! Accidentally came across this place and fell in love we came back twice! The food is amazing, we had calamari octopus and sea bream the first time and second time went back and tried a steak. Honestly amazing and fresh and very friendly staff, would 1000% recommend !

Disappointing visit to Milos location by Central Park NYC. Had prior good experiences in Miami location. Not here. Food was mixed - some items great and others pretty bad. Chicken was super dry and my friend left 90% of it behind. Grilled fish and zucchini appetizer were very good. Service was terrible. Staff treated us and other guests like it was our privilege to dine there. Unfriendly. Just the wrong vibe for a place like Milos. Overall disappointing - not great experience

Great food, delicious flavor combinations, beautiful atmosphere, and amazing customer service. The location is excellent as well — super easy to find, especially if you’re coming from Central Park and looking for a good meal. We had the three-course menu and it was fabulous! The fish was incredibly fresh (you can even see it near the kitchen), and the presentation and taste were impeccable. I recommend making a reservation in advance since it’s a busy place. Next time I’m in New York, I’ll definitely come back!

Everything was prepared to perfection. Rib eye, tuna steak, stuffed zucchini flower, steamed beats, and beans. The oysters were east coast. Not their fault, but I always forget to not order East side oysters….they simply lack depth and taste.

We stopped by to try the pre-theater menu here before heading to the Carnegie Hall. My wife ordered the salad and Salmon and I went with the fish soup and whole fish. The fish soup was slightly salty with great flavor. The whole fish was perfectly cooked with the meat tender and juicy and very lightly seasoned which brought out the flavor of the fish. I got to taste my wife’s salmon which was delicious and full of flavor. I would highly recommend both dishes. We both ordered the walnut pie. It’s a little too sweet to my liking as it’s soaked in a light syrup. The service was attentive and the courses were well paced. Overall a great experience. Oh, forgot to mention, the waiter brought fresh herbs and cut them into the olive oil in front of us for the pre dinner bread. It was a nice touch.

Some of you know I have travelled extensively around the world running marathons etc and I have had a lot of dining experience. This authentic Greek restaurant offers excellent personal service, pleasant ambiance and fine dining at its best. They have really ‘nailed it’. I can think of maybe two or three others I have been to that match it. If visiting Manhattan and looking for somewhere special to dine I highly recommend Milos.

From the moment I walked into Milos Midtown NYC, everything was pure perfection. The atmosphere was elegant and inviting, the service attentive and gracious, and the food absolutely extraordinary. A heartfelt thank you to Biron, Fotis, and Vasilis who made my evening unforgettable. Biron greeted me with warmth and genuine hospitality, Fotis ensured everything was timed perfectly and made wonderful recommendations, and Vasilis added charm and expertise that elevated the entire experience. Every dish was exquisite, from the freshest zucchini flowers to the perfectly grilled octopus and the decadent espresso martini and delicious rose wine from Greece. The attention to detail, the presentation, and the flavors reminded me why Milos stands among the very best dining experiences in New York City. I left completely impressed and can’t wait to return. Milos Midtown is truly a masterclass in world-class dining and hospitality, thanks to an incredible team that goes above and beyond every time.
