Milestones — Restaurant in Ontario

Visited this location just the other night with the whole family. We were looking forward to having some quality time together over dinner. The restaurant overall is very dark but it nevertheless sets a nice scene I suppose. When we entered the restaurant, I was surprised there were no hosts at the front to greet us. We waited a good minute or so before one of the staff came about to seat us. It was a few minutes later before our waiter arrived. They were quite pleasant and initially exceeded our expectations of service; although that was short lived. Just as it took minutes for our waiter to introduce themselves, we found the length between attendance of the table a bit too long. I was further disappointed by how loud the restaurant was though it seemed to quiet down in-between the background music which was nice.

Getting to the food, I ordered the Crispy Sweet Chili Chicken Bowl for approximately $20 before tax that happened to be featured prominently in the menu. While everyone at my table received their dishes at the same time aside from me as I was unfortunate enough to wait several minutes after everyone else received their dishes only to watch one of the staff other than my waiter walk around the whole restaurant with my dish before finally bringing it to me and then leaning across the entire table to hand it to me when they could have walked around and set it down in front of me. Anyway, getting back to the food.. the initial presentation was quite nice. I included a photo with this review of it after I had moved the food around but I do wish to highlight two important things from this photo: the sides of the bowl show water stains and there are almost no vegetables aside from scallions and maybe some unknown leaves. To that end, I was extremely disappointed by the lack of vegetables as I literally could count on one hand the number of sweet peppers, onions, and other vegetables in the dish. Ultimately, the dish was spicy from the chili flakes and milky from the coconut sauce but not sweet and lacked any strong flavor entirely.

I would not recommend visiting this location given the slow service and lackluster food. Be your own judge but at the hefty price they charge, you'll likely be just as...

My date and I arived, and were asked if we had any seating preferences. My gut instinct was to make a joke, "we'd like a window seat", but there is actually an area at this establishment which offers it's best possible view of the mall's north facing enterence's parking lot and adjacent businesses. Unimportant, anyway, "booth" was our decision. We were then shown to our seats, and I said to the hostess "oh, do you not have any booths available?" She just looked at me and didnt say anything, so I said asked, looking around and seeing several, "is the a booth we can sit in?". She said "this is a booth", I think I asked three times, anyway, it was a little awkward. My date and I picked a booth that we saw just off to the side of the table we were at at, and we asked if we could sit there. It was fine! So we did. I remember saying to my date that me and the hostess must have different definitions of "booth", and maybe mine is wrong, but I betted* that if you were to google the definition of 'booth', it would not match the hostess's. Anyway, we ended up deciding that we wanted a window seat, but the other thing was just that on their menu, the joke of crossing out 'more' and putting in 'delicious' could be better if they added (with an ^) the word instead of replacing it. It's less work and doesn't nullify anything while maintaining the quirky, last-minute-touch, family friendly style of "joke" they are going for. so I'll "wrap" it up ;) good stuff! Its good food, i mean, the ribs were the most delicate and melty I can rememeber having. They dont serve drinks in boots or fishbowls, so dont bother asking...um . 5 stars! Good night everyone!

My wife took my oldest daughter to Milestones last night as a reward for my daughter's most recent set of school tests. Sadly, it turned out to be more of a punishment than a reward. My wife ordered her steak MEDIUM WELL (as she's done forever). The steak was brought to her, she cut into the middle and it was bloody. NOT pink. Not red. Bloody. My wife asked for them to reheat it. The server (who was very attentive) took it back while my daughter ate the pasta she had ordered. My daughter didn't say anything until she was just about done, but she told my wife the bottom layer of her pasta was cold. My wife verified this by touching it, and was surprised at how cold it was. The server then brought out the same piece of steak - which had been cut by a chef to make sure it was med-well. There's nothing like getting your food pre-cut for you (sarcasm). The only problem is, it was still red. It was sent back again, and returned with the consistency of a hockey puck. The server (have I mentioned how great she was) took half the cost of my wife's steak off the bill (and my wife gave a great tip to the server, as it wasn't her fault that the chef simply doesn't understand how to cook a steak). The moral of the story is, if you want a good steak and you're around Masonville Mall, pay the extra money and go to the Keg. They know how to cook a steak. And the odd time they make a mistake, they bring you a new entree instead of reheating the botched one, and then cutting it up like Dexter would. Terrible experience. Just ... terrible. But on the plus side, the server was great ... so there's that. If you like good service and are okay with terrible food, this MIGHT be the...
