What a great time and new experience to have dinner in the igloo bubble. It was fun and warm while only 30 degrees out the servers were always checking in on is and it was nice not to have all the noise of the other diners yet the music in background was the perfect level. You have your own heaters to make it as warm as you like. The calamari was perfectly done light and crispy and the cappalinni cakes are a must try. Everyone was very hapy with their choice of entree. Eggplant rollitini, spaghetti carbonara, the chicken francese. All delicious! Thank you for a wonderful time

We have been visiting Mythos for many years and have never had a bad meal here. It continues to stand up to that standard. My favorite is the Branzino, always cooked to perfection.
