Saturday brunch at Estiatorio Milos was as elegant as feasible while dining on the streets of the city. We sat under their large tent. Once the cement mixers finished up across 55th street, we could hear each other without yelling. That’s about when our attentive waiter placed our wine glasses on the white tablecloth to pour us a taste of Assyrtiko Santorini, old vines, Canava Chrissou, Santorini, 2018 ($85) a light, crisp and mineral-driven Greek wine similar to other countries Sauvignon Blanc.

We opted for their 3-course prix fixe $49 brunch menu, starting with the tender grilled octopus over pureed Santorini fava (yellow split peas) with lots of pickled capers (plus $10). Yummy along with their sliced bread and olive oil for dipping.

For our entree, we each had the day’s fish, our fav – branzini. Grilled, deboned and served with steamed crown broccoli. Plus a side of fries ($9). We ended with fresh fruit – honeydew, berries and watermelon.

We were happily satiated.

I’d highly recommend this Greek seafood restaurant if you don’t mind the dent in your finances.
