Milo and Rocco in Plaza Peninsula is an attractive and modern coffeehouse/restaurant. We dropped in hoping to get a bite to eat and some coffee on a chilly and windy day. Upon entering we were greeted immediately and seated at a corner table. The interior is not huge but they also have an outdoor seating area for overflow or for those who like the fresh air on a warmer day. Our service started off well asking for our drink order. I had a caramel latte and my partner ordered an espresso alcoholic drink. We had decided on a grilled cheese with birria sandwich to eat but when the waiter returned to take our food order he said they didn't have any birria. We asked for a few minutes to look at the menu further. That seemed to be our biggest mistake because it took forever for anyone to come back and ask us what we would like. By that point we had decided just to finish our drinks and go somewhere else to eat. Attempting to get our bill also took an inordinate amount of time. They weren't super busy but we had to ask three people before we finally received the bill.
Pluses: Cool space, great vibes and music, excellent drinks.
Minus: Service, while friendly enough, really needs improvement in timing and attentiveness. read more
