I started my evening at Milton's ascending a small yet imposing staircase to reach the dining area…read more I will say that the anticipation paid off. The place is impressive and elegant. The staff were also pleasant and attentive, checking in on us and making sure we knew what dishes were new and popular. Based on recommendations, I got the lasagna, which was designed based on the Italian flag and was stunning-both in appearance and taste. Each bite was balanced and flavorful, going well with both of the sauces. The chicken parm was also elevated in flavor, giving a home-like and rich feeling to each bite. For dessert I got the chocolate mousse and it was rich heavenly bliss. The meringue and mousse went perfectly together in both flavors and textures. A wonderful experience!

This is a combination review for a dinner at Milton's that I purchased at a charity auction and a…read moresubsequent meal where we brough our son and daughter in law to Milton's to celebrate their 4th wedding anniversary. Bottom line is that Milton's should be your go to place for just good old Italian fare but in an upscale but not stuffy atmosphere. Mark Sayre - the restaurant groups beverage director hosted the charity dinner for my wife and I and 4 other guests. We were served 9 courses family style including a couple of cold plates, a couple of salads, a couple of pastas and a couple of entrees along with a dessert. Everything was fantastic and Mark did a great job of hosting and explaining the wine pairings. The best of the apps was the Sicilian Tar tar. Tuna, scallop and salmon perfectly marinated on crostinis. The Hearts of Palm Salad was excellent, and they are definitely sharable, probably made for 3 - 4 guests to share. Of the two pastas the Cresta De Gallo stood out the most, but the Bolognese was also virtually perfect. Of the two entrees we enjoyed the Chicken Piccata slightly more than the Hanger Steak. On our second visit, Ryan was our server. He had been our server at Underbelly, One Fifth and Georgia James in the past and remembered us immediately and was a wonderful host for the meal. This time the table enjoyed the Chargrilled Oysters and the Parsley Salad to start. We also sampled 4 pastas - The Cresta De Gallo again, the Chitarra with Scallops and Uni, the Lumache with Vodka Sauce and the Sourdough Tagliatelle. All were fantastic. My personal favorite was the Chitarra. In the end we finished off all 4 so no leftovers. We then shared the Chicken Piccata as our only entree. This dish is so good. Juicy Chicken, flavorful sauce, and the Sourdough Tagliatelle was the perfect accompaniment. We also enjoyed two desserts - The Budino (which is more like a chocolate tort than a pudding) and the Tiramisu. Both wonderful. If Milton's wasn't over an hour from our house, it would become a regular on the rotation. But it is definitely good enough to warrant many return visits.

Indeed I recommend JLB if you've been very diligent about eating well and want to splurge on…read moresomething that is simply done right! I don't eat meat, but I NEEDED a grilled cheese and an order of onion rings just sounded like the right thing to do, so I did it. My oh my! What I got was the largest grilled cheese sandwich I've ever seen on what I think was brioche bread? It was very much the texture of a croissant and whoa....so tasty! The onion rings were very nice with thick sliced onions so the ratio of onion to batter was perfect. JLB obviously takes changing out the oil in their fryers seriously (as many places don't) because they were fresh and didn't taste like anything that had been deep-fried in the oil previously. This is a real issue for me. I don't want tortilla chips that smell and taste rancid, nor do I want churros that taste like tortilla chips that have been previously fried in the same rancid oil. I have an extremely sensitive olfactory sense, but it lends itself nicely to eating out at establishments that take the care and concern for cleanliness and their patrons. Speaking of cleanliness, JLB is spotless, although to the point the cleaning products smell overwhelm the entire small establishment. I immediately knew when I walked in that I couldn't eat there, but I'm sure glad I ordered to-go! My order was prepped and ready swiftly and too big to eat for just one person so I shared with my neighbor who is recovering from an injury. Literally, don't order a large onion rings if you don't have several people to share it with. Tee hee! Great Job JLB!

I always put this particular spot as top 3 burgers down here with Niko Niko's and Goode Company Hamburgers. It's the best chain burger imo, along with Becks Prime and this particular location nails it every time. I went to another JLB location awhile back that wasn't quite as good. I can't stand the whole b s smash burger trend, but this one is truly an exception here. The high quality Angus beef combined with generous seasoning, just the right amount of outer meat char, very tender n juicy meat core, refreshing tomatoes n pickles and homemade, warm, buttery brioche buns with that gooey feel make it a win. The meat to bread ratio was perfect and not full of too much bread like Whataburger or something. I always have to have tomatoes on my burger and also either pickles or thin, shredded lettuce. Very simple and a great burger, much like a great NY pizza doesn't need much. Many burger places have to add all those onions, excess cheese and sauces to cover up their flawed, bland meat. Thankfully, 3-6 places in the region for burgers get it right for restaurant / non-drive thru burger types. Great, fast service.

The crust has a nice sourdough flavor, and the pizzas were light enough that you don't feel weighed down. I'd definitely order them again. The honey roasted rosemary lemonade sounded better than it tasted -- it mostly came across as regular lemonade, which was a little disappointing. Service from our server was good. The hostess was a bit less welcoming when we mentioned we didn't have a reservation (even though one wasn't required and the place was mostly empty). Also worth noting: the booth-side seating is pretty tight, making conversation a bit difficult. Prices felt about average for today's economy. Overall, a solid spot if you're in the mood for light, well-made pizza. For those who care, the pizza is also good cold the next day!
