We gathered at Estiatorio Milos to celebrate Jill’s birthday, and from the moment we stepped in, it already felt like it was going to be one of those nights we would remember.

What struck me first was the seafood counter. Everything laid out on a bed of crushed ice, glistening under the lights. The lobsters were still moving slightly, almost as if reminding you how fresh they were. It is not something you see every day, and it made choosing dinner feel a little more personal, like you are part of the process.

We started simple. A Greek tomato salad that did not try too hard. Juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, briny olives, and a generous slab of feta. Clean flavours, bright and honest.

The grilled octopus came next. Tender, lightly charred, with just enough olive oil and acidity to lift it. No heavy sauces, no distractions. Just good produce treated with respect. That seems to be the philosophy here.

Then came the lobster pasta. Sweet, firm meat, perfectly cooked, sitting on ribbons of pasta coated in a rich, comforting sauce. It felt indulgent but not overwhelming.

The whole seabass was another highlight. Simply grilled, finished with lemon and capers. The flesh was delicate and naturally sweet. No need for anything fancy when the ingredient is this fresh.

Service throughout the night was warm and attentive without being intrusive. Plates cleared, glasses topped up, and just enough conversation to make you feel looked after.

We paired the meal with a bottle of Greek white from their wine list, which is thoughtfully put together. Nothing overly complicated, just good options that complement the food well.

Dessert was a lovely surprise. Greek yoghurt ice cream topped with caramelised walnuts and thyme honey from the island of Kythira. Creamy yet light, with that gentle tang from the yoghurt, balanced by the sweetness of the honey and the crunch of the nuts. It felt comforting, almost nostalgic, like something you would enjoy at the end of a long family meal.

It was one of those dinners where everything just flows. Good food, good wine, and most importantly, good company. Watching Jill enjoy her birthday meal made the night feel complete.
