Estiatorio Milos

Wow, I guess work has really caught up with me. I haven't found the time to post in close to two weeks. Regardless, I've still found the time to eat well of course.

Over Christmas in New York, I had one of the most delicious things in my life when I ate at Milos. It was a crustacean from Spain that was basically a giant shrimp. I cut its head off from its body and all its juices spilled out. I tasted it, and it was the sweetest I've ever had. 0 to 100, real quick. If all soups tasted like this, the world would be a better place. I can assure you that I did suck the shell and head of all its juices, and I had to practice a lot of self control to not let myself lick the plate clean.

Other Milos highlights:

Their crusty bread is served with extra virgin olive oil and lots of fresh oregano.
Their Greek salad uses ample amounts of vine-ripened tomatoes paired with barrel-aged feta.
Their portions are large and meant to be shared.
You can choose your own seafood from the display. A lot of the fish is imported from the Mediterranean.
I chose a whole white fish from Spain to share that was grilled with olive oil, lemon, and capers.
The restaurant is spacious with very high ceilings and spotted with large white canvas umbrellas. Yup, welcome to a Greek island oasis in Midtown.
Who doesn't love baklava?
