Estiatorio Milos - New York

The renowned tomato salad was quite disappointing. The tomatoes were bland and unripe, which was surprising for a $30 dish that is celebrated for its flavorful, farm-fresh tomatoes.

The order was incomplete as it was missing some vegetables, and my calls to the restaurant went unanswered.

The dry-aged lamb chops are among the best I've ever tasted. The service is just as exceptional as the food.

All the appetizers were fantastic, particularly the octopus and dips. However, the lobster pasta that three of us shared didn't impress me; it was fairly average, and I expected more. On the bright side, the drinks were excellent, especially the Tears of Smoke.

This restaurant is a lovely, upscale dining establishment with stunning views. Many of the appetizers are served in family-sized portions, and I think a few main dishes are as well. The head chef, who referred to himself as the "captain of the ship," was very friendly and likely the owner. He made a point to visit each table, assisting guests in choosing their meals and engaging in pleasant conversations. The wine selection was extensive for those who prefer wine, although the cocktail options were somewhat limited.
