Milestone’s Restaurant

Sitting at Milestones right now, 45 mins and still waiting for our meal. Our waiter has checked on us once. Last time we were here, meals came out barely warm. Sorry Milestones, but this is the last time you’ll be seeing us here. Save your money people and just hit the food court!

We went there for brunch. We walked in and it took a while before anyone came to greet us and seat us, and we should have known to leave. Our server was a knob. Our drinks were less than average. Our food took forever (although the the place was empty) and there was a mistake on mine. I could not even mention it to our server because he never came back to check on us or offer refills of coffee. We had to go find him to finally get our check. We told him everything about our meals was pretty brutal and instead of trying to make it right (at least offer us our coffees on the house our something), he laughed, said «sorry» and walked away. Brutal indeed. There’s so many good places around there, don’t bother with Milestone.

Stopped in for a quick lunch with a friend. Since it was right before lunch time we were taken care of quiet quickly and missed the lunch time rush. Yeah, no wait time. They have an extensive menu, a bit of everything for anyone — even those picky eaters.
Food was good and so was the service. Nothing that was wow or outstanding by any means but good enough.
We were seated, ordered lunch and had the bill all under an hour. Perfect quick lunch.

Fish tacos were decent but quite over peppery. The salad was a lump of wilted greens — that’s it. The waitress brought me some nice dressing when I asked for it.
My wife got the fish n chips. The fish was breaded in corn meal and that’s it — no herbs. Fortunately the little bit of dipping sauce as good. Tasty fries, but the coleslaw was too spicy for even me and she couldn’t eat it.
Service was quick and helpful.

Must have been here a dozen times now and not once have we been disappointed. The Harissa chicken is superb!

I go to Milestones approximately once every three weeks, and I have not been disappointed so far. I usually get a burger with sweet potato fries and I usually go by myself during my lunch or before work, and the staff never make me feel awkward for being by myself.
The burger is always good, although the bun tends to get quite soggy from all the oils and falls apart sometimes. The sweet potato fries and the aioli that comes with them is to die for!
I had a great time, and you guys will see me again in about three weeks!

Guh.
Ok, I came here with my wife and she knows from past experience I’m not a big fan of Milestones but we gave it yet another shot.
Came here for brunch and had the knife and fork sandwich.
Let me just be polite and say the food here is terrible. The fruit bowl we ordered tasted like wet dish rags. I disliked my experience so much that even writing the review seems like a waste of time.
I can’t remember the last time I couldn’t finish a meal at a restaurant? Oh yeah, it was the last time I ate here and there were egg shells everywhere inside my corned beef hash breakfast.
Never again.

I really enjoy the salmon salad and my family was pretty happy with their choices too. Excellent chi ice, if you find a table. We will come back for sure

Looks like Milestones has a new menu. It’s been a while since i’ve eaten here, but this location is super convenient –as its connected to Market Mall so great for date night! Good ambiance & food is quite reliable! Nothing too fancy, but they have big salads which leave u satisfied not hungry for more! Gluten & vegetarian options too!

Tried the new dish a DIY taco, called Peruvian buritos? Meat was very salty and along with the fresh shredded cheese even saltier. Just the right amount of tacos if you broke them into 4 bite size pieces. Lettuce shredded and turning black at the edges.

Great food, great service, with a good atmosphere, especially for being in a mall.
Milestones has always been consistent. I’ve been dining there for 25 years, since their first restaurant on English Bay in Vancouver. Although they have gotten slightly more expensive, I would say the quality of food has even improved over time. I usually get the Portobello Mushroom Chicken, my all-​time favorite, and have never been disappointed. I also recently ordered the Grilled Chicken Penne Asiago which was equally enjoyable.

I enjoy Milestones. The food is consistent, tasty, and commercial. The truth is they have a very good menu, even for those that are vegetarians. The pasta stuffed with butternut squash is awesome. The sauce is wonderfully creamy, and they pair it with pecans which have a spicy finish. Very tasty.
I also really like their california spring mix salad. It’s awesome. The candied pecans are wonderfully sweet. The salad is a beautiful array of greens and purples and reds, and the dressing is light and just a little surgary.
Last, I highly suggest ordering dessert. My SO and I both really love the Cookie, and my sister is a big fan of the white choclate cheesecake. Also wonderful.

Normally I find mall restaurants just mediocre, but I will admit that the Milestones at Market Mall to be better than most. (even better than the Milestones at Southland).
I often stop here when my wife is shopping and my buddy Jason the bartender is frequently there to make sure my pint glass is never empty until I’m done. After the credit card is worn out, my wife will come back and we’ll often have the crispy chicken bites then finish with the ganache torte. If we come for weekend brunch, I always get the chicken hash because it’s the perfect combination of chicken, roasted red peppers, hash browns, eggs and hollandaise sauce.
Be sure to keep your receipt because you can fill out a short online survey and get a free appetizer on your next visit (which will get you another receipt for another free appy… rinse & repeat)

I came to Milestones because I had a gift card from there. Last time I had come here I had tried the butternut squash ravioli which was really weird tasting and I basically had to force it down… maybe I got a rotten batch… or maybe it’s just naturally gross here. Either way, I wasn’t going to let that one time ruin my experience here so I decided to go back with my boyfriend.
The hostess as the front was super nice and got us seated right away. We came around 4:30 on a Friday night so it wasn’t busy yet. Everything on the menu looked really good, although it was super pricey I found… My boyfriend and I both commented on the pricey-​ness and instantly began looking at the cheapest items on the menu hahah. Anyways, my boyfriend got the Ceasar salad with chicken. It was big and enough to fill him up, he complained that he didn’t like how big and crunchy the croutons were, but I tried them and actually really enjoyed them. You could tell they were fresh! I had the gluten-​free spaghatenni which had goat cheese in it and was delicious.
One thing that I didn’t like with their gluten free menu was that it stated «cross contamination may occur». I’m not celiac, but my mom is, and like many allergies, if cross contamination occurs she will get very sick. What is the point of having a gluten free menu if the customers can’t trust it to be gluten free… how hard is it to make sure that cross contamination doesn’t occur with one dish? I’ve worked in a restaraunt before and it’s not hard to ensure that cross contamination doesn’t occur.
The food was pretty good and the portions were good. I was full after half my meal and packed it up. The gluten free noodles were pretty good too, I couldn’t even tell they were gluten free. I also had chunks of tomatoes in my dish which I liked because they tasted pretty fresh. My boyfriends salad was a normal ceasar salad. Nothing special.
The one thing that put me off was that our server didn’t come check up on us ONCE. Not even to ask if we were enjoying our food. It wasn’t busy at all in the place so she had no excuse. She was friendly, but you could tell she wasn’t going out of her way to be extra nice to her customers.
I don’t think I’ll really be back to this place just because I feel like I can have the same quality of food for a better price elsewhere. It ended up costing around 40 $ for the two of us — (two entrees plus one orange juice) and I just feel like I could have found a similar spaghetinni and ceasar salad somewhere else for half the price.

I’m a bonafide eggs Benedict buff, anytime I see it on a menu, I order it. Traditional, vegetarian, spicy, thai fusion, it doesn’t matter the style; I love them all. Having said that, it would be easy to assume that I’m hyper critical, fact is, I’m not. I’ve had decent benny’s from all walks of the restaurant world, and enjoyed them immensely. So when I went to Milestone’s and saw it on the brunch menu, of course I ordered it.
When my dish arrived it looked pretty typical, eggs nicely poached, not too hard, not too soft, even distribution of the hollandaise, crisp English muffin and a generous slice of back bacon. So I lifted my fork with eager anticipation. That anticipation turned immediately to horror when I took my first bite. All I could taste was vinegar.
Now, I know that adding a dash of vinegar to the boiling water helps with the poaching process, but this tasted like they added a dash of water to the boiling vinegar. Needless to say, this eggs benedict was a real Benedict Arnold.

I’ve never been a fan of the chain dining experience because I have never had a really good one. And the trend continues…
Two days prior to eating here, I had the opportunity to dine at Charcut and experience Chef Connie DeSousa’s pork croquettes, which I might add were superb. We were delighted to see her croquettes on the Milestones seasonal menu as part of a cross promotion with Top Chef Canada so we jumped all over the chance to eat them again. What I would like to know is what Milestones did to turn something so delicious in its original form at Charcut into dreck at their restaurant?
I wasn’t familiar with any of their main dishes so I ordered the portobello mushroom chicken which the menu stated was a «favourite with guests and staff alike». I guess that I am not drinking the Milestones koolaid because I thought it was one of the worst restaurant dishes I have had in quite some time. Salty dry chicken on a clump of capellini sitting in a pool of watery sauce is not worthy of a ringing endorsement. The best that the rest of my dining party could say about their own main courses was that they were «okay».
The service was adequate although 4 out of 5 members of our party received their entrees while the fifth sat idly by for more than 5 minutes until we caught the waitress’ attention to get her to retrieve the errant food.
This meal is a primer on bastardizing good ingredients by a corporation. The price-​point that Milestones charge should make this restaurant fall into the category of fine-​dining but there wasn’t much fine about it. For the money I would rather go to a «one of» restaurant.

Server was a bit slow and distracted.
Food was good and filling. Very busy on Saturdays so be ready for a line and slow service.
The roasted garlic app was delicious! But beware, I couldn’t go near anyone for the rest of the day haha
My pasta was good, sausage was delicious and sauce had nice flavours.

Loved it.
been twice recently, I always enjoyed going to Milestones at other locations.
Came here on a Sunday post Stampeding hard on a Saturday night. (We originally went to Coras which had about 40 ppl in line).
We wanted brunch. and we got brunch. Their California eggs Benedict far surpasses the eggs Benedict at Coras — or anyone else. Moderately priced too!
Went recently to try out there «Girls night out» menu. Awesome. $ 40 for 4 Belinis and 4 appys. It worked out well. really enjoyed the Shrimp, the artichoke dip was good too.
I’ll go back again to try something for dinner. or well at least for brunch!

Stopped by here for a quick bite before a Stamps game. Yeah, it’s in a mall, and it sounds like it’s a chain (well, maybe a small chain), but this place was pretty nice. Just the right amount of swank inside, but not pretentious.
I ended up going with a Caesar (for you American’s, it’s basically a Bloody Mary with Clamato instead of tomato juice… and they are yummy). For my meal, I went with a steak. I went with the steak which came with three different dipping sauces (I think there was a bbq, horsey/​hot type, and a «gaucho» sauce). I would have to say the cilantro and spiciness of the gaucho sauce stole the show. I could have downed it like a shot!
The service was efficient. Made it to the Stamps game before kickoff!

This place always seems to be busy, even on a Thursday night when we stopped in for dinner. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table, but we found a nice booth, ordered drinks and started to look over the menus.
After 10 minutes, and our decisions made, the waiter re-​appeared to tell us what they didn’t have on the menu. A lot of trouble could have been avoided had the man told us before we made up our minds. So it took even longer to eat that night.
But the food is good, even if it is over-​priced. I’m particularly fond of their meatloaf. Most of their food is good and original despite the chain mentality behind it. It’s worth a try, but maybe not the money…
