text: This was the restaurant that the NoDP and I went to celebrate our oneyear anniversary I first heard about this restaurant as a suggestion made by another Yelper and I told the NoDP to take me here on our anniversary Definitely a keepernnCONCEPT This restaurant is one of five Milos restaurants from Costas Spiliadis Estiatorio is a type of Greek restaurant that specializes in grilling but does not grill up just standard taverna fare What the Milos family of restaurants are known for is their dedication to bringing in fresh fish from the source Yup they actually FLY THE FISH from the Mediterranean or from the East Coast This is why most of the fish is sold at market prices Upon request you can also shop at the fish counter to select the fish that would be served to your tablennVENUE Located in the third floor of the Cosmopolitan the same floor as Jaleo Blue Ribbon and Secret Pizza Look for a door with Milos on topnnThe restaurant layout combines the rustic terrace dining one would envision when dining in a Greek estiatorio or taverna with the opulence and style of st century Las Vegas When you walk in there is no mistake that you walked into a fine dining establishment but the space looks and feels more like a fancy dining hall You are going to know your fellow diners quite well with our wedding party talking and even singing it felt as if the NoDP and I were treated to a performance at the dining room table nnIm not sure what was going on at the floor above but there was enough activity that caused the floor to shake at the beginning of our meal the NoDP thought there was an earthquake going on at some point nnSERVICE Excellent as it should be for fine dining The waiter bussers and sommeliers were dressed similarly It looked to be quite busy for a Saturday late night as it took forever for the sommelier to serve our wine it was not brought out until sometime AFTER our fish was served We informed the waiter about this and he felt really bad about the situation He promptly brought our wines and we were not charged for said glasses The way he handled the situation was excellent not once did he lose his coolnnAPPETIZERSnOysters oyster There were a few types of oysters when I ordered a sweetercreamier type as well as a saltierbriner type I picked oysters of both varieties A raspberry vinaigrette accompanied the sweeter oysters and a salty vinegar accompanied the brinier oysters I found out that i prefer the sweeter oysters as I appreciated the texture of the oyster rather than the briny water soaking it n nMaryland Crab Cake Handpicked fresh jumbo lump crab The cake was slightly smaller than my palm but the cake consisted mostly of fresh crab and tasted rightly so NoDP says that this is the nd best crab cake he is ever tasted with the best one actually being in Baltimore I do not have any comparison so for me this was the bestnnMAIN COURSE lb Sea Bass When ordering your fish you can have it prepared in several different styles NoDP asked for our fish to be steamed This portion was quite big and was lightly seasoned with herbs lemon and capers You can taste the freshness of the fish NoDP says that it is like tasting fresh fish back in Japan Sea bass is supposed to be a tougher fish but I could still easily cut the fish apart with a fork Though the fish is filleted we were warned that there could still be bones in the centernnOur white wines went well with our fishnnSIDE Grilled Vegetables Eggplant Zucchini Yellow Squash Baby Fennel Cipollini Onion The Real Greek Mint Yogurt Haloumi cheese This was the best grilled vegetable dish I have ever tasted Looks like this dish was grilled and buttered The veggies were very soft and kept their flavors The Haloumi cheese was tough enough to taste like meat It went VERY well with the yogurt nnDESSERT Chocolate Sin the famous Milos Chocolate dessert from Athens This was a standard chocolate cake but it was still deliciousnnThanks to Liv K for making this recommendation I will definitely spread the word that this is one of the good restaurants the Cosmopolitan has to offer Supposedly according to many a Yelper they have an awesome lunch special
