Randomly stopped into Milo's Taverna for a quick appetizer and drink... and ended up staying way longer than planned (always a good sign). The food was fantastic--especially the cold mezes--and the Greek wine selection was such a treat. Cornelius truly made the experience though--so attentive, warm, and genuinely friendly. Service like that stands out. The ambiance is beautiful, with the mix of different colored chairs giving it such a unique, inviting feel. Loved discovering the private space in the back too--already planning to come back for a more intimate family dinner. read more

The food was excellent. Not necessarily moussaka the way I'm used to, but there are different varieties of this dish, and this one was new to me. Spanakopita is hard to do well, but they pulled it off nicely, without being soggy or greasy. No complaints here. The reason I shall not be returning is the awful, overly loud, vulgar Greek pop music blaring in the background the whole time. It never ceases to amaze me the number of otherwise-competent restauranteurs who are utterly ignorant of the centuries-old concept of "dinner music," i.e., pleasant music (of whatever era or style) suitable to form a background to a nice meal. I love Greek food, and have listened to pleasant Greek dinner music in the background in many establishments. Let's start with the fact that people like to talk over meals, and if the music has vocals, I can't hear my companion, so good dinner music is almost always instrumental-only. I must regrettably also note that the server forgot our starter (which was excellent when it came) and just brought our entrees, together with our salad at the same time. Some basic training seems needed here. read more

Had a wonderful experience today! Love the cute ambiance, sat by the window and the seating area is very cozy. At night, must be pretty with the lighting. Had some mezes. Didn't know if I would like the watermelon with feta, walnuts and honey BUT it turned out to be absolutely delicious. Very refreshing! Service was attentive and I can't wait to dine (but this time in the evening) *Their sister restaurant is Milos Meze in the Marina! Both delicious. read more

Great place to split small plates! The food was delicious, especially the Saghanaki (fire at the table). The environment is great inside or outside. Window seats allow for excellent people watching.

My wife and I dropped mid week to check this place out that recently opened. Place is lovely, beautiful tables and chairs, staff attentive and even served some dishes on the house. Food is good and I love how they use imported greek products, even things like oil and water! Definitely a beautiful addition to the neighborhood read more

Milos Taverna is the best Greek restaurant in the city. I've previously said this about their sister restaurant, Milos Meze, and to be honest, the food here is just as amazing; but Milos Taverna has a nicer ambiance. It's spacious, especially for a spot in the Marina. There's plenty of room between tables so you can actually hear your guests comfortably. The chairs are cozy, and the general vibe is fantastic. Tonight I came in with my mom and sister because I knew it'd be a hit, but I'll definitely be back for date nights and nights out with friends. The service really matches the great vibe, too; the staff was fast and incredibly attentive, constantly keeping our table clear of empty plates and making sure our water glasses stayed full all night. Pro-tip: Don't fill up on the delicious pita bread, and ask for extra tzatziki. The tzatziki is made in-house, super fresh, and lightly drizzled with authentic Greek kalamata olive oil. We started by sharing the saganaki (flaming cheese) and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves), and both appetizers were best-in-class. The saganaki comes with the spectacle of a mini fire show. It's so exciting to watch the staff walk out with swagger, pour the ouzo, and light it up. The cheese was crispy on the outside but creamy on the inside; perfect with the pita bread and a dab of tzatziki. This is a must-order if it's your first time here. The dolmades were exactly as they should be: very large, made with fresh leaves, and neither too vinegary nor soggy. They come in a set of three per serving. For the next course, we chose the horiatiki salad, which featured a beautiful mix of fresh tomatoes (cherry, heirloom, etc.), bell peppers, and a generous block of feta. It was incredibly crisp and bright, serving as a perfect, refreshing palate cleanser to prep us for the heavy main course. For our entrée, we ordered the lamb shank with orzo and a side of potatoes. The lamb was so well prepared it literally fell off the bone. The meat melted in my mouth, and combining a bite of that with a forkful of orzo rounded out the meal perfectly. To bookend the night, we had baklava and revani. The baklava was super flaky, drizzled with honey, and exceptional. The revani was something entirely new to me. I was so full I could only muster one bite, but that decadent slice of creamy citrus was the best final bite I could've taken. By the end of the night, we had plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. We all brought an appetite, but sharing this feast between the three of us still wasn't enough to finish it all. This place is an absolute treasure. It's the best meal you can have in the Marina, and the best Greek food in the entirety of the Bay. read more

Love greek food. Unfortunately, there aren't alot of options in this city. Kokkari is awesome, but was too crowded so we made a reservation here. Food is just average. Kind of bland. Had a group of 6. Nobody walked away raving. read more

Beautiful setting and beautiful food! The shrimp skewers are the perfect mix of crispy char and bright herbs and lemon. Will be back!

Came on a Saturday and it was completely empty. It was nice to get the window seats. Water was ice cold! Easy to order and the food was great. But my issue is that despite being emptied, it took over an hour to finish our meal. Waiting for the moussaka took 30+ mins. Luckily we budgeted a leisure Saturday otherwise I'd be pretty frustrated with the wait. Parking is hard to come by in the marina. But overall, it's clean and the food is great here! read more

I was in the area and noticed they were having their Grand Opening so decided to drop in. I've been to their other location on Steiner St. before and have always enjoyed the food there. Milos Taverna was no different. This location is much bigger, and the interior and ambiance is incredible. You can tell the owner put a lot of effort into creating this space. They also have a full bar here which I don't believe Milos Meze had. I had the Beef Souvlaki this time which was really tender. Not always the case at other spots.. the filet mignon here was cooked perfectly. No complaints at all. Great spot! read more

Great food, attentive service. Musakka and the cheese appetizer were super tasty. Highly recommend!

First visit--truly extraordinary. We shared about 10-11 small Mediterranean plates, each one fresh, vibrant, and thoughtfully prepared. From the flaming cheese to the grilled meats and delicate white fish, everything felt intentional. There were lemons upon lemons--bright, clean, and perfectly balanced--paired with both grilled sweetened vegetables and raw dishes that offered a beautiful contrast of textures: austere and soft. The experience carried all the way through to the end. After-dinner coffees and celebration desserts were the perfect finish. The atmosphere was just as memorable. Blue walls met blue sky through well-lit front windows, creating an airy, inviting space. The entry has a canopy-like feeling, and the fireplace is a standout--warm, elegant, and grounding. Inside, the details elevate everything: an in-house bakery (clearly fresh, both in taste and appearance), marble white tables, gold-trim plating--clean, spacious, and refined without feeling rigid. It felt like a true smorgasbord of flavor and experience--gratification as color, as palette, as something to savor. We had a wonderful time celebrating here, and I would absolutely return. read more

Theres a new Greek restaurant in the area and it's excellent. Inside the restaurant, it's well lit and bright. The service provided by Cornelius was spectacular. We ordered multiple items that our group of five shared and I noticed that the chicken and beef were tender. Try the dessert too. Everything was well organized, amazing services and we'll be back. read more

The best cocktails I've ever had were here and there were many varieties, which made me very happy, their taste and proportions are super, I will definitely recommend everyone to try it, I'm sure no one will regret it, next time I stop by I will try their food, from what I can see it all looked very tasty and fancy. Also, the owner was very interested, he was definitely interested in everything at all times, the waiters were very organized and seemed to be carefully chosen for this job, I couldn't find words to say in his ambience, there was a Greek street breem, the visual details inside definitely fascinated me.. read more

Great new restaurant on Union street. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Portions are generous as well. read more

Great food and service. We ordered the recommended items by Maria and they were all great.

What a night! We had the best time ever at this restaurant with the incredible Maria as our server. She took us through the menu and helped us choose wonderful items. Everything was delicious! Highly recommend the meatballs and the flaming cheese. But really, the jewel of this restaurant is the service. Maria was top-notch and made our experience a 10 out of 10. Good luck to this new restaurant. Hope it lasts. read more

Milos Milos Taverna absolutely delivers one of the best Greek dining experiences in SF. From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel genuinely welcomed--friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do. The ambiance is on point too--it genuinely feels like you've been transported to Mykonos. The food is outstanding across the board. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every dish. The cold meze dips are a must--fresh, flavorful, and perfect to start the meal. And if you're a lamb person, don't skip it here--the lamb meatballs, lamb ribs, and lamb chops were all incredible and cooked perfectly. Even dessert blew me away--easily some of the best I've had in a long time. Everything from the service to the food was dialed. Can't wait to come back. read more

Finally...a place to get traditional Greek moussaka! It was delicious but I wish it was a bigger serving for the price. The Gemista (stuffed paprika) was a very generous portion. Complimentary pita bread with a tasty saucy hummus was fantastic, and a nice surprise when so many other restaurants these days no longer offer complimentary bread. The dessert selection was heavenly, and I've been craving more of it ever since I tasted it! My favorite was the one with the custard filling and the cookie. Although we weren't drinking, they have a very large bar inside and offer a wide selection of cocktails. This is a great place for cocktails and appetizers, but I will definitely come back for the moussaka and the desserts! My only suggestion is that they offer a decaf coffee for those of us who can't handle caffeine in the evenings, but want it with their dessert. read more

Milo's Taverna absolutely crushed it. The service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. They did a great job remodeling the place. Check out the back room, so cool! The food was incredible, beautifully presented and packed with flavor. Every dish impressed. We got the rack of lamb, meatballs and watermelon/cheese dish that was so refreshing. An easy five stars, like we took a trip to Greece right here in SF. We'll definitely be back. read more

Terrible food and makes me wonder why there are so many five star reviews. Do people not understand what good Greek food is? The avgolemeno soup was tasteless, the "Greek" salad was a tiny slice of feeta cheese, one olive and too many tomatoes- not a real Greek salad. And I think the Moussaka might have been frozen since the interior was cold, and it just wasn't very good. read more

We'd walked past this spot so many times and finally chose it for our engagement dinner. It turned out to be the perfect choice. We booked on short notice, and the team was incredibly accommodating from the start. Our guests arrived at different times, I had our dog with me, and none of it was an issue. They set us up in a comfortable private room, put the World Cup on the TV for us, and let us enjoy the evening at our own pace without ever feeling rushed. The food was a highlight. The lamb was cooked perfectly, the spreads and sauces (especially the tzatziki) were delicious, and the dessert sampler was a great way to end the meal. Everyone in our group left talking about how good everything was. What really stood out, though, was the hospitality. The staff genuinely cared about making our celebration memorable. Considering the quality of the food, service, wine, and dessert, the value was excellent as well. We'll absolutely be back, this has earned a spot on our regular neighborhood rotation. read more

I treated a friend to dinner at your restaurant which was new for both of us. We were delighted with this choice, since the food was delicious and very well presented. Our waiters helped with our desire to share our main courses. My friend chose Prawns grilled on a skewer and I chose the lamb and our meals came with our shared main courses as we desired. We also each chose a side salade dish. The ambience of MILOS was perfect. There are areas of tables for 2 to 4 people and a long table in the middle which would be perfect for a large group. There is also a very attractive bar area for both dining and drinking. Our waiters Cornelius and Luca were very pleasant and professional. To end the evening, they brought a piece of carrot cake with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to my friend. A perfect all around Birthday celebration! Definitely a 5-star experience.

We stopped by here for drinks and apps, and we had such a nice time! The space is much bigger than we expected on the inside, so it was easy to get a table. The space is also really nicely decorated, and the back room is very cute with big SF and Greece themed murals. We enjoyed the Greek wine, hummus, zucchini fritters, tzatziki, and endless pita. The staff were also super lovely and helpful. Our waiter brought out four bottles of wine for us to taste when we wanted a recommendation, and they gave us a free dessert! We will be coming back! read more
