After a very long trip to Victoria, we were relieved to finally reach this restaurant as our lunch destination. It was one of the brunch/lunch places recommended to us by our host. There was some confusion at first as there is a restaurant on the…More »

Yes, it's Milestones and basically the same as any other Milestones (or similar chain restaurant like Cactus Club or Earls), but I wanted to give a shout out to their gluten free menu options!

What can I say? Great drinks, very trendy location, classy atmosphere and good food (although my friend and I split a starter, which I don't recommend if you're actually hungry, because the portions aren't huge to begin with so it doesn't leave each…More »
