I came here before a concert because I had been waiting for a table at Joeys for 45 minutes even though they said it would only be 15. So we decided to walk over to Milestones since we were hungry. The place was pretty busy but we got a table right away. The waitress seemed super rushed as it seemed she was helping a lot of tables as well as a large private party all at the same time. I ordered the Asian chicken bites and the classic burger. The chicken bites were great. Super flavourful and pretty filling as an appetizer. The burger on the other hand is why they are getting 3 stars. I asked for no lettuce and no tomato on my burger and the waitress brings out a plain burger. On the menu it said the burger came with cheese and bacon. But instead she gave me a completely naked burger, if I wanted a plain burger I would have gone to McDonald’s and not paid $ 16 for one. I asked where the toppings of my burger went and she’s like oh I assumed you wanted nothing on it… I guess she was just overwhelmed by the number of tables she had or something. Other then that though it was a good experience and the food was pretty good. Can’t really say if I’ll be back or not though.

Came here for New Year’s Eve during our stay in Toronto. Luckily could get seated in the bar area as everywhere was packed and we didn’t make reservations. They had a NYE set menu for $ 45 that looked really good. Great atmosphere, our waitress was absolutely lovely but unfortunately the food was not good. Neither of our steaks were any good and the spinach and artichoke dip wasn’t the best. Hopefully it would be better on a less busy day!

Bad. Just bad. Ordered the following: Piri Piri Hummus — doesn’t taste like hummus at all. Poor chunky texture. Whoever came up with this recipe went too far with their creative mind. Butternut squash ravioli — overcooked ravioli. When the server came to ask me if my food was ok, I complained that the ravioli was overcooked and not al dente. To which she replied«ohh that’s how it’s made. It has to be overcooked since it is stuffed». By the way, it was her recommendation for me to order this dish. Wtf?! As I criticize this place, bare in mind that I reside by Yorkville and frequently dine at fine Italian restaurants. I was extremely disappointed with the food and the service. Last week I was at a milestones in Markham(169 Enterprise Blvd) and their food+service was comparable to restaurants in Yorkville. Save yourself and go to the Jack Astors next door! Or just eat at the food court.

Service from Jared was horrible. Asked for lemons on multiple occasions and he said to my wife ‘it might take a while if I get around to it.’(It was a Tuesday night, it wasn’t that busy) He never got around to it. He also never asked how our food was, either. I didn’t get around to leaving him a tip because he was a downright jerk. At any rate, the ambiance is nice and the view is great. The hostesses were amiable, and the food was OK. It’s Milestones, it’s just like the rest of them… mediocre at best, but the ambiance at this one is great.

The food was great. I always love the food at Milestones. But for a quiet mid afternoon it took forever to get our meals. Then it took forever to get the bill. We were trying to get a quick on the run meal. After 15 minutes of waiting with the bill to pay for it, I had to stand up and go to the back to find someone. The servers were chit chatting in the kitchen. So frustrating.

I want to say I like this place. I really do. After all, it’s right beside the Cineplex, super trendy looking and the patio is such a hot spot imo. Unfortunately, the over-priced, mediocre food and underwhelming service just isn’t anything special. What I do like is their $ 4.50 Bellinis on Tuesday after movies! Yes please. And the ambience is quite nice.

We came here the other day to watch the blue jays game. The place is very nice amazing location and design. But that is it drinks are over priced food is OK for the price you pay. One thing I really hated about this location is the washroom location. I hate the location of this washroom it is all the way at the back. You have to walk like 5 min just to get to washroom and come back. This is pathetic for a bar. People drink and need to go to washroom more often so put the washroom is a decent location.

Went for a business dinner and ordered the Steak & Frites for 30 $ and 2.99 $ for unlimited soda. It was an amazing steak, and very delicious. The restaurant was a little dark in my corner were my table was, and the music was loud, but service was great, and super friendly staff.

Surprisingly good for a chain. Convenient location adjacent to theatres and stores. Decent service and better than average food.

This review is only for drinks… Me and the Mrs. were in Toronto for the weekend and decided to explore the PATH from Yonge and Front E. We finally came out of Eaton Center Mall and the first thing I saw was the Milestone’s Grill & Bar. I was very thirsty! Thirsty for some BEER! Milestone’s had some specials going on for beer. $ 5 Stella’s! That was a no brainer for us! Mrs. tried the Original Bellini and after 2 of them, she was in her happy zone! Ambiance was really nice and our server/waitress was really friendly! Ensured that we had a really nice experience! 1 star specifically for her!

We came here three times strictly because of the 25x scene point deal and the fact that we live across the street. All three times the service was horrible– nobody greeted us for at least 10 mins, our appetizers came before our drinks and water, the waitstaff is slow, inattentive and forgetful. The food is okay but over priced . For a similar menu and price, JOEY is far superior.

I’m not usually a fan of chains, but popped in here for a drink with a friend due to the central location overlooking Dundas Square. The view from the patio is nice: lots of atmosphere and a nice buzz while just far enough away from the madness to enjoy it. I can’t comment on the menu as I haven’t eaten here, but the cocktails are gorgeous. $ 5 Bellinis summer special can’t be beat for value. The staff were funny and attentive and overall, it’s a nice spot!

After the theater, wanted to get some drinks and some appetizers. It was very busy there. Ended up at the bar where it was a full menu. Didn’t even get food. The service there was SOOO Slow. It took us 30 min just to get our drinks. ANDONLYHALFOFUSGOTDRINKS. She forgot the rest of the drinks and we just forgot about it. Can’t review the food as we didn’t get any, but major CON was the service speed. I can say the service was friendly, but VERYSLOW.

Overpriced. Bad service. Avoid. I don’t even think I need to say anymore because that pretty much sums up the experience. My friend and I specifically came here to sit on the patio. Specifically. We let the front desk person know, who said it would be a 20 min wait and gave us a buzzer. No problem. We sat at the bar and ordered drinks and some apps. Let’s talk about the drinks and food first — it came out quickly, so we were off to a good start. However, the raspberry mojito tasted like watered down syrup without an ounce of alcohol. The second drink, Unusual suspect, a bourbon concoction was actually good — a glimmer of hope. The flatbread apps were… meh. Okay, 40 minutes later, our buzzer hadn’t lit up so we asked one of the servers to follow up on our patio request. Never came back. Another 40 minutes later — we were done our food and drinks, and still no buzzing! In fact, our server just took the buzzer with her when she cleared our plates. I was bummed. Really. Especially because I was treating my friend to her birthday and we just wanted to enjoy drinks on the patio. And $ 55 for two apps and two drinks, really? There is no way this place deserves to charge that much given it’s service level, and meh-food. Step up yo’ game Milestone’s.

I came here for brunch with my friends. when we arrived around 11am, it wasn’t very busy. we were seated right away. Everything was going well. However, the server took forever to follow up with us to see if we were ready to order. A couple ladies nearby were also waiting a long time. When i got up at one point, they even thought i was their server, since it had been so long. They eventually got up to find her. Once we ordered, our drinks and food came in a timely manner. The food was alright, and we all ordered the same drink(silver jubellini), which was pretty tasty. I was about 2⁄3 done when i noticed there was a shard of something in my mouth. At first i thought it was a small piece of ice, but it wasn’t cold or melting in my mouth. I took it out and realized it was a piece of glass! We notified our server, who then informed her manager. One of the managers came out to apologize… and that was all they did. I could have easily swallowed the glass or cut my mouth, and I get a lousy apology. They didn’t even offer me a replacement drink, in fact they took away what remained(not that I wanted it, in case there was any more glass in it). Bottom line: service is slow and terrible. I will not be returning to this location.

Service was good but food definitely very underwhelming! The veggie burger literally consisted of just a bun, patty, lettuce and tomato. And ketchup and mayo on the side.

The The Old Fashioned Burger stuck to its name. Very simple and tasted real good. The real deal, if you will. However, it did get a little dry and I ended up putting in some mayo and ketchup. The Piri Piri Dip with the Manchego cheese, Yum! I’m a fan! Yeah the service wasn’t all that good. They seemed new. Could hear them talking and planning how they were going to clean up after we were done. They made us wait a good 15 minutes to get our to go boxes. Correction: I’m NOT a fan

This place is gross. On so many levels. The only reason I gave them two stars was because of A) the service at the bar. And B) The view. It’s so good and even thought I’m not a tourist, I love the patio here and the large picture windows in the bar. The bartender was very nice, albiet trying way too hard. It seemed like the rest of the staff were wandering around like badly trained robots in black dresses. I can’t complain enough about this gruesome trend in chain restaurants. «We serve shit food, but we exploit our female staff who still only make minimum wage for spending their shift in high heels and tight dresses in the hopes that the cheap tourists will pay them more». So disgusting. This is just blantant sexual discrimination. The bar was crawling in fruit flies. This tells me that they don’t clean the bar very well and aren’t doing much in the way of pest control. If I’m truly outside, fruit flies are understandable. But indoors in April? They have a problem. And a big chain restaurant should not be having a problem like this. The whole bar area smelled of cheap sushi. And my wine glass was dirty. I agree with another reviewer that the service is not to industry standards. But what can you expect from these girls who are more concerned about their looks and their sore feet and possible tips than serving people? I really can’t blame them. Hmm… maybe the bartender was the only happy one because he was allowed to wear comfortable shoes and not forced to use his body to make up for the shortcomings of his employer and still be paid minimum wage. This place is so sad. They need to put a better restaurant in this space. I will not be coming back. In fact, I think I might be staging a boycott of all restaurants that exploit their female staff.

Came here for a weekday lunch — Ambiance is quite nice, overall service was good, now the food! Ordered the signature burger with smoked meat… Although juicy and well seasoned… The smoked meat literally tasted like hot dogs! The best dish we had was the chicken Penne pasta… Well prepared and we’ll seasoned. The worst dish we had was the ahi tuna tacos. They were so bland and unseasoned. About a quarter of an avocado is served deep fried as a garnish, which was bland, and had absolutely no richness — I could tell they used unripened avocados. Same goes with the avocado/guacamole sauce that comes on the taco. No flavour. Served on a cold wrap that probably came right from the package. Two tiny slivers of uninspired flavourless ahi tuna in each taco. I’d say this was one of the most disappointing dishes I’ve eaten in a long time, and the worse bang for the buck. We were in a rush to leave so we did not bother complaining, so I hope the manager reads this and for you all not to waste your dollars on that dish!

After my first review, I decided I wanted to let the venue know about the poor service so I filled out and survey printed on the receipt and the GM actually contacted me, apologized, and offered two mains on the house. I came back in with a girlfriend and while the food was delicious, the service, once again, left something to be desired. Our server was awesome but over the course of the two or so hours that we were there, we only saw her twice. Bussers ran and cleared our food and I had to go to the bar to ask for water after asking a busser and not receiving any. I still tipped on what the full value of the meal would have been because the comp is not the server’s problem(always tip your server based on the full value!) but as someone who has worked(and still does) in the hospitality industry, in attentiveness is not something I can forgive. That being said, I’ve been there once before for the GNO Monday night special(4 Bellinis + 4 apps for $ 40) and am planning to come back this Monday with some friends to see how it goes.

Ce restaurant ce trouve dans un lieu touristique, je n’imagine même pas la fréquentation l’été mais j’y suis allée il y a 2 jours en soirée, et c’était calme! L’ambiance est très agréable, un peu tamisé mais pas trop, la musique est à un volume parfait. Les plats né sont pas cheap(17 $ pour des pates/poulet au pesto), mais la qualité est présente donc rien à redire sur ce point là. Le service est très bien et discret ce qui est appréciable quand l’on souhaite manger tranquillement! A faire si vous souhaitez manger un peu plus classe sans pour autant débourser 50 $.
