Review from Johnny H.

Went to Milestones for the first time yesterday. The restaurant was surprisingly good in its food and service quality. We ordered coffee, Pepsi, yam fries, seafood salad and seafood fettucini. And the price came out to just $56 with the tax included!!!!!! Wow.
The fries were ok with the sweet taste and crispy texture. The dipping sauce (some kind of mustard sauce) added nice edgy flavor to it. The salad was fresh, and the salmon was cooked nicely. My seafood fettucini had nice spice to it with the clever mix of cream and tomato. Pasta was a bit hard though. There was a decent amount of salmon bits and mussels thrown in the pasta. And portion is HUGE. We didn't finish half of each plate.
Service was rather quick, and servers were professional and nice. The place was noisy, dark and jam-packed. There was barely enough space between tables to give you privacy. -

Recommended?: only if you can't find anything else within the 10km radius of this place.
I was here for a get together with a bunch of old buddies and this place didn't fail to disappoint. Everything from the decor to the food is pretty much average or below average. Bottom line, not much to say about this place except to add that, whatever you do, stay away from the steaks! Mine was waaaaaay overcooked and under seasoned. (I have to admit that service isn't bad though... but who cares if the food isn't any good?) -

I can't believe that this establishment hasn't been Yelp'ed by me yet !
My friend loves Milestone's so when we meet up for dinner, we always eat here. There are definitely better restos out there, but at least it's not like we're meeting at Taco Bell.
In Yorkdale, it's an easy spot to get to. The subway and the 401 are right there. Tons of parking spots in the car park of Yorkdale is a definite plus.
Service is pretty good. Food is quick. Decor of the place is nice.
I really, really, really like the California Salad. For under ten dollars, you get a very satisfying meal.
Milestone's is one of my favorites when it comes to chains. This particular location deserves a four star rating. -

Well, the restaurant manager has contacted me and does want to try to make it right. I can give them credit for trying, but I still wouldn't want to go back there, even though they are offering free.

Top chef menu-Two thumbs down!!!!
Milestones is the place where you go to for the sake of "easy", a too sweet bellini and a decent enough burger. However, one of my dining partners tonight is a huge fan of Top Chef and insisted we go to try their seasonal "top chef" menu and so we did tonight. Shoulda had the burger...
The starter pork croquettes tasted strangely like chicken liver, whereas another likened it to canned tuna fish. Texture was very odd.
Main was the sablefish with seaweed gnocchi. My fish had the skin on it, which was face down in the broth, so by the end of the meal, I had this black scaly goop which was so very unappetizing. The fish itself was nice, clean tasting, no real flavour. The seaweed gnocchi had no flavour at all and I likened it to mushy pablum. Broth was sour/sweet odd but I was happy for any flavour at all by that point. Also, one of us found 4 fish bones in her fish, while 2 of us found none. Chew slowly!
Dessert-a DISASTER. Strawberry shortcake with lemon curd. They used salt instead of sugar for the lemon curd. Made one of us gag and almost throw up. They took it off the bill.
So in the end, the best part of the meal was the too sweet bellini. Makes us wonder....if these dishes were the winners of Top Chef...poor McEwan. -

I was taken here on a date tonight and I was not very impressed.
We got there around 5:30 with out reservations and were seated quickly.
The server skipped our table and served another couple that sat down AFTER us. 15 minutes of waiting to order our food we finally were served. The waiter was VERY friendly and always smiling.
We got a grilled chicken cesar salad and a delicious cheeseburger.
We also ordered 2 Sour Apple Martinis.
The problem is.. when they brought our drinks.. my glass had a gross- what looked to be like rasberries squished all over half the inside of the glass. It did not even look like it had been in the wash!
I WAS VERY VERY VERY UNHAPPY!
For a bartender to miss that was VERY strange..even for the service to not even notice it on the glass. It was VERY noticable!!
I will not be going back again. -

The service at this restaurant is a joke. I don't blame the wait staff at all. There are too few of them, I blame it on management for not hiring enough waiters.
The first time I went, the waitress forgot our appetizer. No big deal as she spoke to the manager and he offered us a free dessert as well as a coupon for a free dessert on our next visit.
We went back to take advantage of our coupon. The service had gotten worse. Waving down our waitress was so damn difficult because she's running around like a chicken without its head. The meal took 3 hours because we could not get a hold of our waitress.
Never will I eat at this location again. I'm not a huge fan of this chain, but this particular location is simply understaffed.Listed in: Blacklisted

I'm obsessed with the Breakfast Wrap. Literally. Everyone who knows me usually knows that if I'm out of bed before 2pm on the weekend, it's because I went to Yorkdale to buy a breakfast wrap. It's the perfect combo of egg, salsa, cheese, and avocado salsa in a huge tortilla. It doesn't matter whether I stay there or get it to go, it always tastes good from this location.
I also love the Artichoke and Spinach Dip, the Chicken Pesto Fettucini, the mojitos and the bellinis, especially the extra shot of rum or vodka you can add.
I've always had great service here, especially at the bar for pick up. My order has always been ready in the time frame they give me and I usually get in and out faster than a virgin. That way, all my time and energy can be focused on my love...is it brunch time yet?Listed in: My Comfort Zones

This is a decent Milestone's location, but I found the service slow and tired like a bicentenary sea turtle!
Okay, getting serious, the food here is decent. I've tried several dishes in the past, including their famous Artichoke and Spinach Dip, and their California Beef Burger. The portions are nicely sized and the yam frites are tasty, if not a bit flaccid for my liking! However, the butternut squash ravioli has never been right. This is true of all Milestone's but that tomato based sauce just doesn't work.
It took too long between appetizers and the main course, especially during lunch hour on a Sunday. The Bellini was well made though, so that made up for the straight-faced service.
If I'm searching for a Milestone's, I would go here again. -

Who knew Milestones had a brunch menu? Well, I do now.
Brunch items ordered:
Big breakfast
Santa Fe Shrimp Eggs Benedict
Regular items ordered:
Mussels Frites
Big Breakfast:
French toast, eggs [any style], bacon, sausage, ham, home fries
Surprisingly large for Milestones.
French toast - not much egg, made from a baguette, served with syrup. OK
Eggs - what can you say? they didn't screw these [2 eggs?] up. Good
Bacon - cooked, but not crispy, 4 strips. OK
Sausage - tasted like a mix between an hot Italian sausage and a chirizo. Good half [of a large] sausage
Ham - nice grill marks, not too salty. Good slab of ham.
Home fries - they came with a weird salsa type sauce, and some weirder cheese. I'll pass on the sauce next time. OK
Verdict - will get this again next time
Santa Fe Shrimp Eggs Benny:
Tasty sauce, soft egg, avocado slice .... tasted good (to the person who ordered this).
NOTE: Had a bite and got the foulest taste from the onion. Not sure if it was marinated in something.
Verdict - I'm glad i din't order this, but that's just me. The other diners seemed to really like it.
Mussels Frites:
Medium-large serving of mussel in a [supposed] light curry sauce. Although you couldn't even smell any hint of the curry, so we couldn't even tell what kind of curry it was.
Frites - super thin shoestring cut served in a glass. Very good, but a small serving, par for the course at milestones no?
Verdict - enjoyed by the whole table, sufficient [starter] to be a meal for small appetites. -

i'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants in general. i find their menus are all kind of the same and boring and gross. oh and overpriced, at least that's my opinion. example: caprese salad $9.99 - i just don't understand what about iceberg lettuce, tomatoes and bocconcini could possibly add up to $10....
regardless, i've gone to this milestone's 3 times. my friend and i often meet at yorkdale because it's easy for both of us to get to... and then we get to do some shopping as well.
the food has never blown me away. but i have to say the service has always been consistently professional and friendly. that puts them from 2 stars to 3 in my books. last night i ordered off the "seasonal" menu, i wanted to try something different, and i asked the server what she though of the lobster/crab/yam appy... her response was "it's.... interesting" i loved her honesty. she also explained that she doesn't really like the curry sauce but that it was really hearty, so i ordered it - and she was SO right, it was.... interesting. i didn't love it but i didn't hate it either. -

Milestones is one of those wonderful multi-purpose restaurants!
It is a wonderful stop for a delicious meal, a great place to have drinks, a classy yet affordable place to take a date or a fun atmosphere where you can relax with a beer and watch a sports game on one of their large screen televisions.
First off, the food is really good at Milestones and it is definitely reasonable.
I have been there plenty of times where I have ordered an appetizer, a main course, a dessert and a drink and my bill came to $30!
For food, I have A TON of suggestions.
For starters, I usually grab at their famous hot spinach and artichoke dip, the garlic caesar salad or one of their seasonal house made soups.
For mains, they have a wonderful selection so you can eat light or heavy.
For a light dinner, I enjoy their grilled seafood salad, the vegetarian thai noodle salad or the Shanghai noodle stirfry.
For a heavier dinner when my stomach is about to eat itself, I LOVE LOVE LOVE their portobello mushroom chicken, complete with yummy cream sauce and accompanied with linguini.
And to top it off, MARTINIS MARTINIS MARTINIS!
As a lot of you can tell from my yelping, I LOVE martinis and Milestones makes a good old mean one!
They have their delicious signature martinis, which are all unique in their own right.
My favourites from the signature martini list is the Caramel Apple martini, the Bikini Martini, the Caramel Kiss martini (however this one is sometimes unavailable), and the Blackberrytini.
They also have their classic vodka and gin martinis for people who can hold the liquor and strong taste of the drink.
All martinis are usually around $10, which is not bad considering you can pay sometimes $20 at downtown bars.
As well, Milestones has great locations around the city. With two restaurants already well received downtown and uptown in North York, this newer location at Yorkdale offers up the same amazing stuff.
After a long day of shopping or looking to grab a bite before a movie, this Milestones at Yorkdale is a great new addition.Listed in: Best Martinis in Toronto

Everytime I walk into Milestones, I'm greeted by the smell of wet towel! I don't get it. Maybe it's just the seating area on the bar-half of the restaurant. Seriously though... it's getting old. Luckily, my drink and food usually cancel it out in time.
Aside from that, I really like the food at Milestone's. I recommend the Certified Angus Beef 8oz. Top Sirloin. It comes with a trio of their signature steak sauces: house-made worcestershire, kobe mustard, & gaucho sauce. All three are tasty, but I prefer the good 'ole worcestershire -- the kobe mustard comes in at a very close 2nd.
The portabello mushroom chicken is also a very good entree.
I've had decent service here while seating in the bar area. My party was checked on at steady intervals. Maybe it had something to do w/ the bartender & our server attending to us. Our drinks were getting refilled on the regular. Beer, martinis, wine... it's all good.
All-in-all, it's a good restaurant. Chain restaurants are supposed to be, right?! -

I admit that I like milestones and I've been to this location about 5 times for various work functions and once with my brother and his kids. They are definitely kid friendly. They actually seated us right away because they saw we had two toddlers, who were very, very tired. The food is solid. I like the salads and the burgers. They are very concientious about allergies so it is great if you need your food modified in some small way.

Review from M W.
Markham, ON
We came for a light lunch and ordered from the seasonal menu.
We had the roasted pepper and tomato bisque - just a bit heavy on the salt, but that's just me. We also tried the pork croquettes, should have read the reviews first! It can't be pork! The onion ring is the worst I've ever had! The batter is way too thick. To think this was a top chef winning dish!!!
The salad was good, but then again it was one of the original items, milestones California spring salad.
The bellini was great, not too sweet. Then again I had the raspberry, the malibu might have been sweeter.
The dessert of strawberry shortcake, well, it's more of an upside down muffin with way too salty cured lemon rinds, whipped cream, no hint of vanilla as suggested and strawberry topping.
In short stay with the original menu and I'm only coming back for brunch!!
The extra 2 stars is for our server and the excellent service we received!! -
