Estiatorio Milos, Costas Spiliadis’ Greek seafood restaurant, unveils its new space in the Venetian.

Milos takes over the 13,624 square meter Aquaknox fish restaurant with shutters. Milos flies in its seafood daily from the Mediterranean Sea and then presents it in the restaurant’s fish market, where customers can choose their evening meal. Whole fish in sea salt, tuna, lobster, salmon and octopus are on the menu, along with the Milos Special, a tower of deep-fried, wafer-thin zucchini and eggplant with tzatziki on the bottom and inside.
