Your hosts, David Levy and Barry Robbins, welcome you to their version of a traditional deli! When we opened in 1995 our goal was to remind our customers what a deli experience is like. From crunchy kosher pickles to piled high pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, steaming bowls of matzo ball soup, traditional brisket dinners and a bakery boasting homemade recipes, we hope to please our customers from start to finish. We work hard to source the best meats, vegetables, and ingredients all while developing new items to keep up with current culinary trends!

    The best! Love the matzo ball soup. Pastrami was out of this world!!! Brings me back to my childhood, in Chicago, and their Kosher Deli’s. Service always “top notch”. Our server, I believe, was Connor. He is always so kind and patient. We had some vegetarians in our party. Connor, so considerate , with our ordering. This is one of the best Kosher restaurants around.

    Haven't been to Milton's in years but so glad I took the family on Christmas Day. The food was great, best omelet I have had in ages! Our server was the best; she was attentive and very personable. This will be a go to restaurant for our family breakfasts from now on.

    Our reservation seemed to be ignored. When we arrived at the restaurant, our name was added to the bottom of the list with no regard for the time of our reservation. What’s the point of a reservation if it’s going to be ignored?

    Miltons has very good food and excellent service. It is a bit pricy for us as we live off small retirements. The noise level can be high at lunch time. Overall a good place to go.

    This is one of the only delicatessens in San Diego county. Therefore, it is a go-to for that style of food and diner ambiance. The service was excellent: attentive, accurate, friendly. The food was good, perhaps a little uninspired. The maitre d', as always, is colorful & efficient. The prices are a little high, I suppose. Parking was difficult because it is situated in a busy shopping center. We enjoyed our time & the setting. We shall return!

    Noise level was high making it difficult to converse. Food was hot and tasty. Server stopped by our table once to ask how the food was, but never returned to refill our water and tea.
