| - Well we had a huge family reunion today at Milestones at the South Centre; without a reservation we asked for a table for 12 and were seated fairly quickly.
The waitress looked overwhelmed she was expecting another party of 10 beside us, but it didn't seem to affect her service.
This Milestone is classically designed, nice chocolate brown palette with comfortable seating and dimmed lighting. Perhaps a modern take on European art nouveau.
Menu design was really nice too; a threefold menu with leather covers, it was easy to read and was very elegant to hold. I decided on the night's special of Sirloin Steak with shrimp and lobster topping, everyone else was in a steak mood, so there were many orders of rib eyes, and prime ribs at our table.
We settled for two nice Australian bottles of red wine, and I made a note that our waitress was both sweet and efficient.
There was not ever a lull in the courses, mine however was the only one that included a very large Cesar Salad, which was really yummy, I could taste the shredded fresh garlic and it had a slight hint of anchovy.
It wasn't long before our entrees came and were passed out rapidly at our table. My steak although medium rare was a little tough and others commented that it wasn't the best steak that they had tasted.
The garlic mashed potatoes however were very nice, but my special order came with only 3 shrimps and a very small piece of lobster, definitely disappointing.
Four or five desserts were then ordered and these were all priced quite reasonably at seven dollars, were served in good portions and were very tasty.
All in all for 12 people it was $500 including the tip, not bad, but Milestone would not be the first choice for me to eat steak in the future.
All in all however, Milestones South Centre is a nice location, very near to South Centre Mall, has a classy interior and pleasant service.
