Dinner was enjoyable, will definitely come back. Already told a few friends about Milos. The only concerns that I had was the ventilation. Due to how they serve the ribeye steaks on a hot iron, the steam and smoke fills the whole dining area. Because of that, the marble floor is a bit slipper, too. Just be mindful not to wear anything fancy. It’s a neighborhood restaurant, casual attire would be suitable. Other than that, it was excellent.

This is one of our very favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Food and service are impeccable. It is particularly lovely to sit in the main room with the fireplace where they are often roasting meat. It is a special place. Don’t tell too many people!!
