    Everything about our dining experience tonight was spectacular. The food, service, staff were great. The duck confit was delicious. As were the scallops on the half shell and the grilled octopus ceviche. It’s one of our favorite restaurants. We haven’t been there in a while but will be back again soon. It’s worth it for a special evening!

    This is my second time at Milton’s. I love the vibe. The waitstaff is extremely seasoned. I know a few from other restaurants that I visited a lot, but are now closed. Milton’s was lucky to get them. The food is wonderful. The misto is my favorite, also the iceberg salad. The arancini is as good as I had in Sicily. The whole fish, Branzino, is stellar. It’s a very intimate and casual space.
