In Short – This is not the kind of breakfast joint where you roll out of bed and stroll in with the newspaper. Milo's is a casual, smart cafe with leather seating, wood floors and contemporary decor. The fare exceeds the typical greasy-spoon breakfast joint. The servings are heartburn-large and inspired. Eggs Benedict is tucked with filet mignon, and Dungeness crab cakes are overflowing with hollandaise sauce. Even scrambled eggs are made fancy with spinach and feta.

Dirty Dining
by pdxfreckles
Don't sit by the windows and look at the gap between the floor and the window. You can find food there from 1940. Gross. I ordered the waffle and got a soggy toaster waffle with sour whipped cream. They did take it away, but I declined a replacement. For obvious reasons. And after looking at the floor . . . .
- Pros: Nice waitstaff (when they get to you)
- Cons: Used to have good food

Would Skip This Place
by Rally200
Had the eggs benedict which were overcooked and the ham tasted like cheap lunch meat. My wife had the french toast which were made of two thin pieces of sourdough.
Service was good. Place was clean. Prices were reasonable. Just average to below average food.
- Pros: Good Service
- Cons: Bland Food, Small Portions

Good & Bad
by norcal1
We've eaten at Milo's several times over the last 14 months and the consistency of the food is all over the place. We've had some truly delicious meals here and on other occasions it's been awful. Most recently two of us had lunch here and ordered completely different things (a hamburger, a vegetarian sandwich) and neither of them tasted of anything, completely blah. We've also had several dinners here where the meat will be barely warmed through yet the vegetables burnt to a crisp. I hope they get their act together because when the food is on it is so good.
