Mila’s on the Manatee

The food was good and hot, and the drinks came fast. I had to wait a while for service, but it sounded like they had just come off a big Friday night rush, so I understand the holdup. The view of the sunset over the marina more than made up for the few minutes I waited! There appears to be two separate entrances, with a dining room around the side and a door to the bar right by the parking lot. I ended up at the bar, but I did have to ask for directions, so some signage might be helpful! I appreciated the bold gluten free labels on the menu; it made it pretty simple to choose my food. The birria tacos were loaded and perfectly melty, and the rice and beans were a decent addition. My drink was poured a bit light but oh well, I was by myself.

it seems like a very cool place to go until i waited for my to go food outside the kitchen door and found the line person not changing her gloves. putting food in to go boxes then moving the trash can then back to packing food. our food was suppose to be gluten free and came with croutons on the salads ( so can’t eat those). so it was our first seafood in palmetto and I guess maybe the last for this visit. no one wants food poisoning or a gluten allergy reaction to start a vacation!
