How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

They overcharged on something I ordered by 50%.... Not to mention all their dishes were priced quite highly for the taste, size, and presentation. Ended up being ~$80 per person for a small portion that tasted pretty mediocre. I wish them...

Cool vibes but steak was overcooked and service was super slow. To be fair we were in the back room with a big group but it was pretty egregious. Other food items were good but a little overpriced.

Nice servers, but very expensive for small portions of just average food. Price to value is just not there yet.

New to the neighborhood and I really wanted to like this place, but Milos Taverna is missing some key things for me. The food itself was fresh, but there were very limited vegetarian and gluten-free options. What was especially frustrating...

Excellent fish and a wine list that genuinely supports the food. That pairing awareness makes a difference.

The Mezzes so good and tasty! And the main dishes tasty, flavorful and well presented. They have a more private room in the back if you wanna bring a party of over 15p. Also the desserts were amazing
