We came with a group of friends who said that Milton's had fast service and excellent food. We found both to be untrue. We walked in and saw hardly anyone in the restaurant which made us wonder if something was wrong. We soon found out the probably causes. The service was INCREDIBLY slow when the restaurant was pretty much empty besides our group (I only saw 2 other customers besides our group). This should have meant that food would come out incredibly quickly. However, half of our group's order was lost before it even got to the kitchen and it took the staff 20 minutes to catch this. The first half of the group was done eating by the time the second half's food came out...ironically, the dish that took the longest to come out was spaghetti! Prices were WAY too high (at least $2-3 higher per entree than comparable restaurants and not worth it at all). Additionally, the food was nothing to shout about: the baklava was obviously frozen, not fresh; the garlic bread was lacking flavor big time; the chicken and rice soup had no distinguishable flavors except celery and pepper.
We are not sure how Milton's was supposedly voted the ""best restaurant in the Triangle"" on citysearch.com, as stated on the company's website.
