| - Went to Milestones for a friend's bday and to be honest, I'm not a hugeee fan of milestones. Sometimes I feel like they're overrated and for the food I get? I rather go somewhere else. But nonetheless, it was my friend's bday so Angela and I headed there to celebrate her day.
The Milestones location that we went to was at North York Centre or sometimes better known as Empress Walk. The decor is rather stylish and on a Saturday night, the crowd was the young and cliché type. Most people well dressed so as a heads up, dress up a little to blend in. The lights were dimmed and the mood set for a more intimate experience. My apologies for the photo quality ahead of time.
Didn't order any drinks and as my main, I ordered the Californian style burger with sweet potato fries. The Californian burger was topped with fresh house-made avocado salsa, double-smoked bacon, lettuce, a pickle and even more tomato. The bun was a sesame seed bun. And looks perfect for the burger. Angela got their seasonal item which was Braised Beef Pappardelle with a nice cream base and cheese. The food took a while to come, at about 20 mins or so and at this occasion I was able to test their service for a large party. I do this by the number of water refills.
Once the food arrived I took a bite of the sweet potato fries and... Not cripsy, sucks. I don't believe that this was solely caused because of the dish sitting and waiting to be served with others. But I believe it might be the lack of batter on the fries. It was lightly battered and appeared to be cooked in older oil. The burger tho, surprisingly quite good. I was honestly surprised. The patty was nicely seasoned and wasn't dry. I'm not sure if I got lucky but I still somehow feel that Milestones serves frozen not fresh patties. Nonetheless, everything worked and I would have to say, Milestones served me a good burger tonight. Angela and her dish, once again very surprised. She asked me what looks good and looking at their seasonal menu, this item stood out. The beef was tender, the pasta cooked well and the sauce was perfect. I have to say even with the good burger, I 100% wish I had her dish instead. It was very good.
Overall, I would have to say that at this occasion, I liked Milestones. Maybe it was one of their good days, maybe. But the food that was served was good. My only complaints would be service and the fries. My water never got refilled. We were there for 2 hours and you couldn't refill my water, you serious? Everyone that ordered water didn't get a refill, so guess what Mr. Waiter, I tip accordingly. Tho my friend brought up a good point, he said with this tip he's gonna think I'm just another cheap young chinese fella. It probably doesn't help that I look like I'm 19. So service sucked, but the food was good, your stomach will thank you.
