Best Seafood Restaurants in Hillcrest

From start to finish, this was a really wonderful experience. We arrived early and had drinks at the bar. The greeting staff and the bartender made us feel welcome and valued as guests. The atmosphere here was impressive. The high ceilings, lovely bar and modern but comfortable decor created a warm feeling. We were seated on time for dinner and found the menu to have so many excellent choices that we struggled to decide what to order. We had the seafood tower and added lobster and it was just amazing. They serve a house made focaccia bread that is perfect. Our server was friendly and warm and charming and told us about the specials and gave us time to decide and to talk and answered all of my questions about portion size and how many sides to order. The langoustine special was incredible, my fish dish was perfect. Everyone loved their food and the portions were very generous and perfectly prepared. Throughout the evening bussers filled water glasses and removed plates and were so inobtrusive we hardly noticed when they had come by. We never felt rushed and were never in a position to "look" for our server. I should mention that our initial reservation was for three people and when two more people asked to come, I called the restaurant having no expectation of success on short notice but was able to make the reservation for 5 with an insignificant time change. This type of accommodation and consideration is uncommon and was greatly appreciated. The bathrooms are just beyond what I expected, beautiful and modern with electronic toilets with heated seats. The attention to details regarding decor service and food made this restaurant a truly exceptional experience. We all decided we would like to return and try more of the menu options.

We loved everything about Milo’s midtown! It had been over 10 years since we’ve been here & choose this for our friend who has never been in NYC. We arrived early & sat at the bar with great cocktails taking in the holiday cheer & bustle of the staff as they take from the fresh stock of Mediterranean fish chosen by their customers. We had the tomato salad & calamari to start. Not a huge fan of calamari but this was perfect. Lavraki, our main meal, was intensely flavorful with some grilled mixed vegetables. We topped off the meal with decadent desserts & shared some baclava & galaktoboureko.

Great experience. Was my dgtr’s first trip to NY. a mother-dgtr trip while on break from college To kick off our Christmas holidays. So much fun, will definitely dine with you again when we are back nxt year! Thank you for helping to make it a wonderful last night in the city!!

Lovely Christmas luncheon with my staff. Beautifully decorated for the holidays with long-standing very attentive staff. Spinach pie is always a standout along with any fish. A wonderful leisurely lunch.

We had a very good experience being waited on by Silvia. Although the food is fairly priced, the portions are a bit too big.
