    We loved it! We have been there before and we enjoyed it hence wanting to return -but this time it was just PERFECTION! For a Monday night- a nice vibe. Service was suburb (I'm in the industry- believe me I know and I critique!). The menu was so diverse-it was very hard to pick something because it all was so enticing and delicious. Entrees we had: salmon, scallops and a seafood with orzo (probably the best orzo I have eaten) We will absolutely return. And when I say service was great- I mean from when we walked in (the lovely hostess), to the bartender (where we had drinks beforehand) to our server and then the final goodbye from the Manager.

    We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
