This gem of a city cafe is one of our favorites. The unpretentious setting belies the great food they prepare. We have eaten there perhaps 50 times and only once was I disappointed. My favorite is the steak and eggs breakfast. My wife loves the crab cakes and eggs. Be prepared to wait a few minutes if you do breakfast... More

Milo's was recommended to us so we were eager to check it out. We were not disappointed. The dinner was excellent, and the waitstaff was accommodating, the seafood stew was fantastic!

I just find this place delightful. How refreshing to get good, plain food, good service and a great atmosphere, all in the same place. And right in the heart of the Broadway area of the Sullivan's Gulch neighborhood. Every time I go to Portland I must make a stop at Milo's. Check it out!

Milo's offers a range of menu items. We had crab cakes and a crusted cod special. Both were quite good. This looks like a place that locals know and it seemed that the variety on the menu attracted many different tastes

I only eat at Milo's for breakfast. It's the place I go in my neighborhood when I want a quick, well-prepared breakfast. I only get the vegetarian hash, and it suits me well. Lots of people seem to enjoy Milo's, and I don't hesitate in bringing guests there if they want a nearby, or quick, breakfast. My Dad likes it... More

I was here with a group of eight on a Sunday, and after the long wait, we ended up with an excellent table and a nice brunch.

How this place is so popular is completely beyond me. We waited patiently for a table for about 10 minutes and once we were seated we had a look at the menu and were impressed. What wasn't impressive was the 15 minute wait for our server to come to the table. We even asked for our server to be sent... More

Staying nearby we were referred to this great restaurant. Can't comment re other person and menu as we are tourists. Varied menu, I had steak daughter had Greek salad. Both tasty and large portions. No reason not to eat here. Very good value.

Just had a great breakfast there this morning. I've been on a corned beef hash hunt in Portland and Milo's did not disappoint. It's also a good sign when you get there just before opening time and there are several folks waiting for the doors to open. The service was great and the atmosphere inside is very comfortable, yet modern.... More

We really enjoyed our dinner here. Though the dining room is small the staff was very accomodating to our group of 12. The atmosphere is classy and eclectic. Very clean. We were seated promptly. Service was slightly slow but courteous and friendly. The food was worth the wait. Very delicious, well presented and creative. The bread was outstanding. The prices... More
