| - Had about 1.5 hrs before our movie started and weren't sure if we wanted to eat dinner first or wait until after the movie was over and eat dinner then. So we started walking around and the first place we saw was Milestones. Well. Went inside and wanted a table but was told that the wait was going to be about 45 minutes. There were plenty of empty tables and I'm sure they could have found room for a party of 2. Well. We left and decided to go elsewhere. However, I have been here before and this restaurant tries to be upscale with the setting and how nice everything is. If this was in the States, it would be the type of place that you'd want to enter with a dress shirt or else you'd feel uncomfortable. However, there were plenty of people in t-shirts, shorts, sandals.
Well. I wanted to come in and just have a couple of drinks but after looking at the menu with a couple of drinks already inside me, I felt a little hungry. Probably the drunken munchies starting to kick in. Well. I wanted to get an appetizer (maybe 2) and share it with my friend who didn't want to spend too much money so I ended up just getting the yam frites. Now. for $8, I'd expect some unbelievably good yam frites or just a ton of them that I could share with a couple people. Very disappointed because they were not $8 worth of deliciousness nor were there a lot to share as they state on their menu.
For the main course, I ended up getting a burger because I wasn't feeling fish or a steak. Chose to get the californian burger and I do have to say, the fresh homemade avocado salso was pretty delicious. The burger wasn't bad either and for the $12.99 price, almost made it worth it. But it wasn't.
Now consider that they price meatloaf at $19.99, I must now state that this is restaurant seriously holds itself way to high than it should. Hell. The beer was also expensive. Probably because they gave us a pint in a glass that seemed to be very expensive.
If I do come back, I will be getting the burger again because it was very good and I can get good steak and fish elsewhere in Toronto.
