Sweet place with a great atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. Endive salad was superb. Octopus fresh and well presented. ONLY criticism- leave the croutons out of the squash soup- no need.

We were very pleasantly surprised with Mila's Bistro! We were looking for a good French restaurant by the movie theater. We live in the city but have never been here. The martini was great. The wine was great. The escargot were delicious and the steak au puave was wonderful! We will definitely come back to Mila's again. I highly recommend this place!
