Milestones at YVR

It wasn’t the best breakfast place. I was hungry after a flight and decided to try it out. I had their breakfast with bacon, eggs, and potatoes and GF bread (or should I say hamburger bun). The bacon was overcooked but the eggs and potatoes were okay. I paid almost twenty dollars (US $$) for it. Their service was okay but you can tell that they judge by a person’s appearance.

I have Grilled Shrimp California from its brunch menu when waiting transfer to Beijing, it’s very delicious and. good looking, have egg, bacon, shrimp, baked cheese and veggie, good for a short morning brunch, just a bit expensive but worthwhile since its airport, nice staff

I have to concur on the service here — sure, it was relatively friendly but by god was it ever slow! Seriously, you’re an airport restaurant and most people do not arrive 4 hours early (like we did, for some reason…) Thank god we had extra time because none of the staff were in any sort of a hurry here, and most of the time I had to flag people down harrrrrd to get served. It was about half full, so not even crazy busy. Whyyy
Prices are exorbitant. I expected them to be more because, ya know, airport, but $ 10 for a pint of CANADIAN? No, thank you. Where’s the craft beer? Bah.
I ordered the breakfast burrito and Boyfriend got a chopped salad (shove it, gender stereotypes!) Despite the delay for food and drinks to arrive, they weren’t bad. The burrito was chock-​full of avocado, which was a pleasant surprise — avocado is typically stingily distributed. It wasn’t particularly flavourful so I asked for hot sauce — there was no choice, and a bottle of tabasco arrived on the table (sad face), but at least it livened it up a bit. My biggest issue with the burrito was lack of texture — it was very monotonous and would have been improved even with some crispy onions or something to change it up. Boyfriend’s salad was quite tasty though.
Expensive, terrible service, and okish food. One of the only places to get a beer when you’re waiting to fly, so that’s pretty much the only reason I’d go back, to be honest.

Great beer granville island pale Ale and honey lager. Old fashioned burger with fries. Perfect

After getting our 7:15am flight delayed 12 hours to 4:50pm then again to 6:45pm, we were given $ 15 food vouchers each so we decided to grab a bite at milestones before our flight which just so happens to be beside our gate.
The service was slow but only because it was busy, nothing to fault the server on. The food was good. I really enjoyed the spinach and artichoke dip and I order this every milestones that I go. They definitely make r the right way here and we devoured it. We also ordered the ahi tuna tacos– not so impressive. There was nothing special about it and it had too much citrus making it kind of overpowering. The entire bottom of my tortilla was drenched and was soaking in a pool of what I assumed to be lemon juice. It wasn’t that memorable. I don’t think it was worth $ 16 but good thing we got it for free because of the voucher.

Came here yesterday for a quick meal before boarding. Ordered the Grilled Shrimp California eggs benny. It is described as «grilled shrimp, double smoked bacon and house-​made avocado salsa on a toasted English muffin» for $ 14.50. It tastes like what you would expect, but the potatoes tasted raw. I’m just glad the food came out pretty quickly.

This was our connecting airport en route to London Heathrow and we were hungry. We had plenty of time before connecting and wanted a comfortable roomy place and Milestones filled that need.
I went with the prime burger which was cooked to my request medium and it included curly fries. I was actually impressed considering I was at the airport. Service from the staff was friendly and efficient.
I’d return here again or recommend Milestones. BTW the shrimp stir fry was impressive and contained lots of shrimp.

Meh if that is my last memory of Canada in not sure I’d come back… Luckily for Canada, I’m Canadian so I’ll be back eventually… But not for this food.

Agh you know what? It’s an airport bar. Never, ever, have high expectations for airport bars anywhere.
The service here is pretty dire, and surprisingly laid back — hey bar staff, guess what? Everyone here is going somewhere, it’s not a trick, be quick with the service, the drinks, and the bill!
The drink and food selection is pretty shocking (how about showing off some Vancouver craft beers Milestones?), but it just passes for a pre flight drink,

This is a tough one to rate. Compared to other Milestone’s, service-​wise, it’s one of the worst. Every time I’ve been here, I don’t understand how slow the servers are considering it’s never even ¹⁄₃ full!
But of the places to eat here, especially on the International side, then I take this over food court food any day.
Another complaint is the lack of space for your luggage; compared to Monk’s Grill, which seems overly spacious, you really have to make sure no one trips over.
P. S. did anyone see the Global segment of a YVR employee who used his phone to video-​record a few rats running through here like a circus party, in the past year?
