Milestones — Restaurant in Pointe-Claire

The menu reads so well, what a disappointment when the food came. You can't serve an appetizer at that cost, the ahi tuna sushi, with plain rice. Sushi rice! That's the only way .. The Cobb salad, boiled shrimp, and the vinegret, was their one. Here, quality olive oil, apple cider vinegar, salt pepper, roast some garlic, lemon juice, honey ... The green curry shrimp, here's a tip; use your seafood shells, scraps, make a stock, use that broth in the green curry.... And most important, lemon grass, ginger, coriander.. your kitchen manager and chef are failing you. You clearly are saving from the margin on ingredients you describe in your menu that are wasted in that horrible product... The keg, 40 West, yes five star, but the reasons and result and continued existence is in the product .. The service, the food!... You are in a prime location, a beautiful restaurant... These two factors are a reason why you should succeed, but you fail with food that is clearly saving on ingredient quality, but more important, your chef had no idea what is spice, flavor... Does he/she even taste anything?... I have managed restaurants, franchises, food retail ... You will close within the next two years. And while you try to save that restaurant, you will only dive deeper into poor ingredient choices, and lack of attention of what guess to the customer, your expeditor is not qualified either ... Saving grace the blond tattooed bartender/server who wasn't into service at first, but she did surely become involved and was great doing forward was the only reason I will give your menu, restaurant, ones more try.. The blackened cod and pork chop will get a taste .. Otherwise, save yourself as million dollars that you'll probably pour into that restaurant over the next two years, unless your prepared to actually learn from restaurants I've mentioned to succeed ... Service, bland food... You didn't need much to elevate that shrimp curry.... You have everything in your kitchen, adding the lemon grass, to make that a great dish... I'll show you...

I took my boyfriend out for his birthday dinner on Friday, May 28th. He had been wanting to try Milestones for a while, so I called about a month in advance to make a reservation and mentioned it was a special occasion and our first time dining there.

Unfortunately, the service didn’t live up to expectations. According to our bill, our server was Lea, but we barely saw her throughout the night. No one really checked in on us, ordering anything took longer than it should have, and it was difficult to get anyone’s attention. By the time we considered dessert, we ended up just asking the nearest staff member for the bill after a long wait—who kindly said he’d let our server know. It still took a while for us to actually receive it.

To top it off, I only noticed upon receiving the bill that our server had written down the filet mignon instead of the sirloin my boyfriend had actually ordered. I’m not a meat expert, so I didn’t catch it at the time—and since it was his birthday, I didn’t mind treating him to a filet mignon. But still, it wasn’t what he had originally ordered.

On a more positive note, the food itself was excellent. From the spinach and artichoke dip to our mains, everything coming out of the kitchen was delicious. Hats off to the chef and kitchen staff—they really delivered.

That said, I do have two small notes: I ordered the 1989 burger, and while it was flavorful, it came with ingredients that weren’t listed on the menu, like onions. I don’t tolerate onions very well, so it would be great if the menu included all key ingredients, especially for people with sensitivities or dietary restrictions. I also found the plate size odd—my dish looked a bit lost on a giant plate, especially compared to my boyfriend’s more visually balanced meal.

In short: the food was great, but the service unfortunately left a bad impression. We won’t be returning, but sincere thanks to the kitchen team for an otherwise...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Milestones Pointe Claire, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The restaurant has a cozy yet modern vibe, and the staff was friendly and attentive, which made for a very comfortable dining atmosphere.

For starters, I ordered the steak tartare, and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious. The meat was incredibly fresh, and the seasoning was just right—balanced, with a nice tang from the capers and a slight kick from the mustard. The texture was perfect as well, finely chopped, which made each bite melt in your mouth. The only minor issue was that the dish came with a little less bread than I would have preferred. With steak tartare, extra bread is essential for scooping up all that goodness, and I found myself wishing for a few more slices. That said, it didn’t detract too much from the overall enjoyment of the dish.

For the main course, I opted for a different entrée (which was equally satisfying), but the standout of the meal was definitely the starter. I also appreciated the drink selection—they had a great variety of wines and cocktails to pair with the food, and the staff was knowledgeable enough to make recommendations based on my preferences.

The atmosphere at Milestones was relaxed but still upscale, making it a great place for both casual outings or special occasions. The service was quick and attentive, and the staff really made an effort to make sure everything was to my liking.

In summary, Milestones Pointe Claire delivers a memorable dining experience with solid food, great service, and a nice ambiance. The steak tartare is definitely worth trying, and while the bread portion could have been a bit more generous, I’ll definitely be back to enjoy it again....
