    My wife and I went to Iris to celebrate Valentine's day and we couldn't have been happier about the experience. The food was delicious and the service was top notch. We will be back to try the short rib, as it was sold out. We had the short rib agnolotti instead which was to die for. We also had the assorted dips appetizer - best tzatziki and babaganoush we have ever had!

    We love Milo's for it's fresh seafood and all other fresh ingredients the chefs use. On Valentine's Day, all tables were beautifully decorated with red rose petals... After a delicious meal, take home gifts were handing out to each couples with a box of chocolates and a red long steam rose! We enjoyed our Valentine's Day dinner tremendiously at Milo's!
