    We were visiting from Vancouver and had heard good things. Great ambience, cocktails and the food was delicious. They also had a Gluten Free menu for us which was appreciated since 2 people in our party were celiac. Would return for sure!

The food is always top notch and the menu is very diverse and it is excellent value. We have always had exceptional service at Milestones and that is just one reason that we will always return as long as I am in town. Art

    We went for dinner on Valentine’s Day. Of course the restaurant was packed but it wasn’t noisy or distracting. Music that was playing was at a perfect level so we could have a good conversation without feeling like we were yelling. The service was amazing given how busy it was. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The food was on point, although I found the portion size of the risotto a little much. The carrot cake I had for dessert was phenomenal! The specially designed cocktail - Cupid’s Arrow - was also delicious. It was a lovely evening for us. Thanks, Milestones!
