milestones

find thisplacelast night on yelp. after walking in the rain for a bit we finally found it, it's says it's on sussex drive but the real entrance is on mackenzie.

the food was awesome, got the asian chicken bites for a app and has the krispy chicken sandwich with some fries and it was so good, i would definitely come back and try them for their brunch too :)

the food is generally good, not amazing but okay. the service is okay but can be slow when theplaceis packed. love their cocktails. very popular and packed more often than not. if you don't like huge and very busy restaurants, don't go there.

awesomeplacefor a girls night with their bellini cocktails! the food is also great, the staff very attentive and the vibe just great overall for grabbing food and drinks with your girls!

upon arrival you will be greeted by a friendly hostess who will lead you into a well decorated art deco type restaurant. i chose to sit on the patio as the weather permitted and the view is enjoyable. the waiter was a friendly young gentleman named steve who was on top of his game. i ordered their speciality, a grilled chicken and portobello mushroom with creamy sauce on a bed of mash with grilled veg. now considering that milestones has the gaul to breach the $20/entrée barrier, you'd think that this meal would be expertly prepared by expertly trained chefs. instead i received overcooked chicken (as in some-bits-were-crunchy overcooked) and veg that was drowning in oil. all in all, the service and atmosphere are exceptional, but the sub par food coupled with high end prices make this aplacean overall loser.

i usually love thisplacebut i went today on a saturday and the service was terrible as was our appetizer. the sweet potato fries were flavour less and the supposed chipotle aioli tasted like ketchup. we sat on the patio at first and were ignored immediately. we tried toughing it out but had to move ourselves inside. i never got asked for a refill on my drink. we saw our waitress once to order our food and never saw her again until 40 mins later when our food finally came. the food was great i had steak with buttermilk mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables. i never got a refill on my drink the whole time i was there. also, there were no straws given with the water. there was a chip on one of the glasses and i cut my lip. very unimpressed and i won't be coming back here. maybe another location would be better but this one was terrible.

amazing brunch. this is a greatplacealthough a bit pricey...it is well decorated, the staff is really friendly and nice and the menu is amazing. i went a few times and i am impressed because the menu changes all the time. they have really original drinks on the menu although 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.

average food. i've been going to milestones for years. we usually have some appetizers with drinks. those were good to very good depending on what we had.... a few days ago, we went again and i had the fried calamari, and i have to admit that was a disappointment. very bland and almost tasteless. service was alright but we had better. it could be on the overpriced side given the location. a goodplacefor drinks i would say, but probably wouldn't go for a full dinner

saturday for lunch, with a gift card melting my pocket begging to be used and my wife and i in downtown ottawa, we visited milestones ( 700 sussex drive, ottawa ).   milestones is owned and franchised by the cara group of companies who also own and franchise: harvey's , swiss chalet , kelsey's and montana's . each banner name (i.e. restaurant name) has a different flavour for the dining pleasure.  harvey's is the traditional burgerplacethat competes with mcdonald's , burger king and others.  swiss chalet is the family rotisserie chickenplacecompeting in the quebec and ottawa area with scores . kelsey's bills itself as "your neighbourhood bar & grill" which also typically has more family friendly pricing in aplacethat pretends to be a bar/pub but really isn't.  montana's is supposedly a cookhouse that specializes in serving up grilled meats of whatever flavour you wish.  milestones' dim lighting for the evening with supposedly higher end culinary chef inspired food attempt to make

always a good choice. thisplacehas never disappointed me. the food is great and the ambiance in the bar area is unmatched. you get that mix between modern/chic and there's no classier way to watch a sens game.

standard fare, drinks decent. pretty average - an inoffensive uncomplicatedplacefor non-adventurous diners. a lively afterwork crowd on thurs and fri. great location and patio.

perfect drinks. went there for a drink... and had to get a second and a third. nice people and coolplaceto hang out with friends at night. might try the food next time.
