| - Everyone has that one liquor that takes them forever to get back into after they've been sick on it. For some, vodka. Many others, tequila. For me, it's Bailey's "Bacon and Bailey's Eye-Opener Irish Cream Liquor". I've got this for Milestones. I've never been sick there, but I'm definitely sick of them.
Firstly, there are the "oh-you-MUST-try-them" Bellinis, the signature drink at Milestones that is a vividly coloured champagne and rum slushy that comes in a martini glass, garnished with a plastic zoo animal on the rim, and triggers giggly, vapid conversation that is normally reserved for that point in "Sex and the City". For the rest of us non-Cosmo-drinkin' wannabes, the beer list is minimalist in nature.
When friends drag me here, I suck it up and hope that the food will compensate. It doesn't. There's nothing staggeringly bad about it, but nothing jaw-droppingly good either. Each and ever time that I remain hopeful that the meal will make up for my experience in an over-stylized place where it seems the people who want to feel cosmopolitan but aren't really seem to be collecting. It doesn't. Typically, it comes in a big pile of "meh". And not even garnished with a plastic mammal.
