Milestones Restaurants

I’ve always enjoyed Milestones.
I especially love their spinach dip, California spring salad, crispy chicken sandwich, California eggs benny, baked goat cheese and roasted garlic appy & butternut squash ravioli.
I can’t exactly rate Milestone’s for their food because it’s a chain restaurant — it’s supposed to be good food. I mostly rate the locations now based on service. This location is great. I often leave satisfied, but keep in mind I’m usually only at Milestone’s for drinks/​appys/​dessert. I cannot comment on the steak experiences because they were in the past; it’s likely owner has changed since then. I haven’t given their dinner options (steak etc) a second chance and don’t see it happening in the foreseeable future.
For the social aspect where you enjoy some finger foods and drinks with friends, I’ll always suggest Milestone’s.

Came here on a Sunday afternoon and sat at the patio. Ordered the spicy chicken wings and a Stella — perfect food for the nice patio weather but nothing out if the ordinary for this place. Service was ok — server was pregnant so I don’t want to knock them for not checking up on my table that much although she was very kind and friendly. The place looked better than the Kelsey’s beside it so if I was in the area again I would probably still head to Milestones.

I ordered the 10z New York striploin medium rare. Nothing special about the steak it was frozen and cooked for medium instead of what I asked for medium rare. We then ordered the sweet minis and unfortunately did not like any of them. Just no flavour at all. Maybe it’s because I come from a Lebanese family where most of the food is non bland lol but I’m sorry after milestones changed their menu their food has become flavourless

Goat cheese spread is my favourite app. comes with cranberry salsa, fig jam, roasted garlic, and flat bread. Originally the roasted garlic came in a whole bulb, last time I visited it was cloves of garlic, kind of disappointing, as it was a nicer presentation before.
Service is always good, theres a male server in particular who is very sweet and welcoming! Always a pleasure being helped by him.
Good for a girls night out or a quick date, I like sitting in the bar, its casual and fun. Have also celebrated some occasions with family in the dining area, also very nice.

What? A clone restaurant owned by the same company that caters Air Canada’s inflight meals gets a rating of 4 stars? Cara Foods runs a bunch of brands from Harvey’s and Swiss Chalet to Milestone’s at the top of the ladder, and like Darden in the U.S. knows not to mess with the success and quality of the Cheesecake Factory.
I have enjoyed Milestone’s for years, mostly for Sunday brunch, where Eggs Benny or one of their «hash» creations is my go to. The menu lineup is refreshingly unique – you won’t find many of the simple dishes of other restaurants. Instead, most of the dishes have some kind of unique twist that makes them stand out.
Recently, I went for dinner and ordered the Prime Rib. To my surprise, the prime rib was better than the Keg across the street, and less expensive. I was struck with the realization that the Prime Rib dinner at the Keg has not changed in nearly 25 years, yet Milestone’s is alway changing up the menu about every 3 to 6 months. Hard to get bored of Milestone’s!
Pricing is a couple bucks higher than Kelsey’s next door, but worth it. This is higher end dining without the fatwhack to the wallet. The place is often busy, but they do have a «call ahead» service, unlike the Keg where you just wait in line in the lobby or get herded into the bar for the first assault on your wallet.
This is great food with an adventurous twist.

I am visiting from out of town and I have been here twice in the past 2 weeks. Milestone’s has always been one of my favorite Canadian restaurants and definitely one of the better restaurants in the Newmarket area. My food was amazing (I had the Italian sausage ravioli both times). Price was reasonable (although I do think it should come with a soup or salad for this price, I had to pay an extra 8 dollars for a salad, maybe I am just used to US restaurants including a salad). The service was a bit slow both times but it wasn’t horrible. Overall I really enjoy Milestones and I look forward to going back next time I’m in town again.

For a mid range establishment price point wise. I was disappointed with how they peppered the entrees so much. I asked for no peppercorn lemon sauce on my steak and I thought it was still on the steak! The second steak was less peppery but not cooked to my liking. The potatoes & veggies were covered in pepper as well.
The server really wanted to bring me a salad while I waited but I said: then I won’t have room for dinner. The manager came by to apologize and offered us complimentary desserts. I expressed my feelings about seasoning food vs. killing it with pepper. It should enhance the flavour of the food not kill it! Hopefully that is passed onto the kitchen staff!
The staff were lovely.

Its was Saturday Night around 8pm the restaurant was busy however we were seating right away I ordered the Steak with shrimp with Caesar salad, and some bruschetta to start. Food was really good and finished it all with some red wine.
great visit, Servers and staff very helpful.

Fathers day was this past weekend and little bro and I decided that it would be a nice treat to take dear old dad out for a nice lunch somewhere a little classy that was still close to home.
We asked him what he was in the mood for, and his answer was a nice spot that was relatively healthy. After some discussion we decided that Milestones was a classy local option and Dad agreed he was in favour of this idea.
I must be honest, this location is a lot further north than I had anticipated. It was far less local than I think any of us realized. Located on the northern most intersection of Newmarket (Green Lane and Yonge).
Arriving shortly after the lunch rush we were seated in a great booth right away by the friendly hostess. If you’ve never visited a Milestones I recommend you give it a try. The atmosphere is trendy, an upbeat while the décor is very contemporary.
Their menu is very eclectic, offering international inspired fare from almost every corner of the globe (thai dishes, indian dishes, italian, american, chinese dishes etc), and being as such made deciding on a meal extremely difficult. While we tried to decide on our mains we ordered a platter of Thai Chicken Drummets, which were well cooked and wonderfully saucy/​seasoned/​spicy (had some serious kick to them)
We eventually decided on the following for our main courses:
#1 — beef dip au jus w/​fries + potato leek soup (BRO)
#2 — beef dip au jus w/​sweet potato fries +caesar salad (ME)
#3 — Vegetable wrap with mushrooms, added chicken, with fries on side (POPS)
The meals were great all around, however one thing we all noted throughout or meal and especially once our $ 90 lunch bill arrived, our server was more than a bit pushy. She hovered and «checked in» far too often each time trying to upsell us on something.
When ordering she even tried to sneak in several items (my brother said he wanted fries, and she put in sweet potato fries. The one thing that bothered me was how she neglected to explain that ordering a salad and a soup was not a side but a full meal size (a price difference of $ 0.99 vs $ 5.99).
Aside from our server issues our meal and experience was GREAT, and Dad was happy, so it was visit well worth it

This is our third visit to this Milestones and each visit was great meals with great service reasonably priced. This time we had a free $ 11.00 calamari grilled appetizer promotion from a previous visit and split a Kobi Meatloaf dinner, more than enough food, cooked to perfection just the way we asked and deliver to our table HOT. This is not received at the majority of restaurants we have visited recently.
