This restaurant came highly recommended to me by my good friend Yazan due to my affinity for Wal-Mart's over-priced, damaged canned goods.
I must say, it absolutely lived up to the hype! I asked for Santa Margherita (probably the most popular wine out of Italy) and they brought us a bottle of Santa Rita (the cheapest of the fruity wines typically made and enjoyed by the Chilean miners). Awesome surprise!
Another lovely surprise came with our appetizers - Yam frites. I always thought this type of dish consisted of deep-fried slices of yam... But to my delight, milestones appears to have taken a healthier approach and not fried the yams at all! In fact, they tasted cold and fresh (almost raw), just as nature intended them.
The staff must have known it was my friend's birthday because they gave us a whole 95 minutes to drink, talk and toast the birthday boy before bringing out our orders. It's perfect because none of us are ever hungry until after 10pm anyway.
As we all know, I prefer my meals from a dented can, and I can never resist a Wal-Mart Rollback, but I felt a bit self-conscious in the company of my friends, so I decided to play it cool and order a steak, medium rare, and yes I'd like the $30 steak instead of the $21 one.. I know the menu doesn't really differentiate between them but I want to keep up appearances here. Let me just say, the cooks must be Jedi Master mind readers - Not only did I get a rubbery overcooked slice of heaven, but I am fairly certain the sides and sauce came from my favourite section of the Wal-Mart next door!
As a fitting end to our meal, the debit/credit machines seemed adamant on refusing our payments. It was like Mr. Milestone himself was there saying "No, no, really, your money is no good here", and then upon our insistence saying, "Okay, fine you can pay this time".
I would definitely come back here, and more than likely bring my Wal-Mart buddies too! -

Stopped yesterday for a drink after shopping and wanted to check the place out for future possible dining. We waited and waited for our drinks. It was a Friday afternoon and was not busy at the time of our arrival. We had to order our drinks twice as it seemed the first order was lost somehow. Not a good first impression. The waitress said she would make it up to us regarding the very poor service,not sure what she meant but she did not live up to her word. My next beer came quickly but did have to ask for service; she did not come on her own. By the time we left the restaurant was busy and very noisy. I read the menus and was impressed with the pricing and choices from pastas to steak to gluten free. Most entrees were under $20. The decor was upscale and trendy with comfortable seating. Undecided if we will return.
