We were a large group for a celebration. Was a very nice atmosphere and service was really good! The food was decent. I ordered a medium steak but for a medium rare but overall still ate it all. We were not the biggest fan of the ramen. There wasn’t a lot of broth and it was slightly warm. The appetizers were really good and filling. Overall the service was excellent and super friendly. It’s a good place for patio season and for a little dinner date or hangout.

I won’t lie. I had never been to this Milestones location…until recently. And honestly, I was really surprised in the best way. I know Milestones kitchens pretty well, and this one did not disappoint at all. Everything was perfect, timing, flavors, plating. You can tell that the chef really puts care into what comes out of that kitchen. Definitely worth stopping by.

Portobello mushroom chicken was excellent. Vegetables were cooked just right. Paired with an Inniskillen Merlot (served with a glass and a decanter) made for a pleasant meal.

I ordered the grilled salmon with Caesar salad while in town on a business trip, and it was absolutely fantastic! The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a wonderful smoky grill flavor that made every bite delicious. The Caesar salad was crisp, fresh, and generously topped—no sad, limp lettuce here! Even though it was a takeout order, the presentation was impeccable, feeling more like a beautifully plated restaurant meal than a to-go dish.

I had lunch here today and absolutely loved it. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Chicken and Salmon – both were delicious. The flavours were rich, the salmon was perfectly cooked, and everything was served hot and fresh. The service was friendly and fast. Overall, I had a great dining experience.

Ordered the grilled salmon with Caesar salad while in town for a business trip — and wow. The salmon was perfectly cooked with that smoky grill flavor, and the salad was crisp, fresh, and generously topped (no sad lettuce here!). Even the takeout presentation was spotless- felt more like a plated restaurant meal than a to-go order. Absolutely hit the spot after a long workday. Highly recommend!
