milestones

a standard choice for girl's night out and celebrating birthdays - we went tonight for cheap bellinis and apps. great service makes this location stand out as themenuis the same no matter where you go.

yes, it is part of a national chain of casual dining restaurants featuring a modernmenuand decor. however, this location situated in the heart of downtown ottawa makes for a perfect night out if you are looking for all of your canadian inspired favorite meals. salmon, chicken and pastas are always a popular choice. the service is always friendly and accommodating.

amazing brunch. this is a great place although a bit pricey...it is well decorated, the staff is really friendly and nice and themenuis amazing. i went a few times and i am impressed because themenuchanges all the time. they have really original drinks on themenualthough i recommend the bellini, a milestone classic. i was particularly pleased when i went there for brunch, the prices were reasonable and i ate the best eggs benedict i've ever had in my life, no exaggeration. it was heaven in my mouth and i could have it everyday. i definitely recommend this place.

great spot. great location and super atmosphere. start in the bar - good selection of drinks and the bartenders are excellent if you want something else. the dinnermenuis varied enough for everyone and the food is pretty good, with a nice little surprise for birthday diners. service was very good and the servers seem to help each other out quite a bit. enjoyable evening. we'll go back.

milestones new corporate chef, jason rosso, of restaurant makeover fame, created a bunch of new dishes for the chain. the newmenuwas launched a month ago. amongst the new rosso creation, you can find the newcastle cheddar and garlic mussels, the sicilian mussels, the chopped salad (grilled chicken, avocado, chick peas, feta cheese in a medley of chopped vegetables), the montreal stack (smoked meat, aged cheddar, caramelized onions, tomatoes and blackberry ketchup), the canadian brie and pesto flatbread, the chicken noodle & shiitake bowl.

average food for above average $. a family birthday brought us to this chain restaurant for dinner. service was good our server friendly but not overbearing. i had a few questions about themenuitems. i asked if the burgers were fresh and was told they were frozen so i passed. $17 one would expect fresh ground. i then asked about the kobe style meatloaf and was told that it was made in house so i opted for that. i was a bit underwhelmed by this dish. it consisted of a premade cylindrical chunk of strangely seasoned meatloaf that had been previously frozen topped with fried onion strings on top of some galic bland potatoes smotherd in a slaty au jus shiitake mushroom creation.the presentation was great but it did need the jus because the supposibly kobe beef was on the dry side. the high point of my meal were the veggies and the onion strings. no local micro brews on tap so it had to be washed down with water. make note of the word style before kobe before ordering! we passed on dessert since again nothing made in house.

good for a nice meal downtown. i go to this location all the time. most of the time the servers are very friendly and accommodating but sometimes large parties will make reservations and they'll be pressed to get you out of there sooner. on the bright side you can always count on fairly speedy service. their grilled penne asiago is my favourite and the portebello mushroom chicken is a close second. their pesto fettuccini also isn't bad and they're bocconcini garlic bread is okay except the olive tapenade on top is far too strong. off the dessertmenutheir white chocolate cheesecake is to die for! the only thing i didn't enjoy during one visit was the virgin strawberry daiquiri i requested. it was so bitter that i had to put several packets of sugar in it and even after that it wasn't that good. all in all it's still a good location and i'll definitely be back.

i've been here at least five times and only once did i get good service. the staff is inattentive, the drinks are watered down, they lack any special aspect and new drinks are not adequately tested. we got coupons because the drinks were so bad. burgers are fine, but the rest of themenuis not worth the price tag. they hand out coupons frequently to bring you back instead of treating you the way you should be treated

need more experienced cook. themenuhas potential. very nice, elegant dishes, however to pull this off, a professional cook is required. their cook just isnt cutting it. he can go back to mcdonalds.

twice i saw the waitresses bend over and expose their thongs. not something i need to see while eating. if the skirts are going to be that short, try some booty shorts to prevent exposure.

nothing special on themenubut it has a good atmosphere
