| - With the closing of one Milestones on the street, comes another just down the street. Makes sense that they wouldn't need 2 different locations in the same intersection.
Must say that this location is a lot nicer though. With nicer flooring, nicer seating, and nicer lighting, almost every aspect seems to be modern. The decor is a little on the simpler side, but simplicity isn't always a bad thing. I did notice that the floors were very smooth, which caused the chairs and tables to move around freely. May be a little unsafe when you aren't paying attention and 'miss' your chair or kick the table.
With a new location, they have up-ed heir menu game as well. We were lucky enough to visit during a new menu promotion and got 25% off!
My friends and I shared the Captain's Coconut Calamari and the Mile High Chorizo Fries, and we each got either the Roasted Field Mushroom Gemelli Pasta or the Pest Chicken Penne Asiago.
The calamari was quite good, with a delicious dipping sauce for it and hints if Indian spices. The fries were definitely different, made with a poutine in mind, but with chorizo and and egg on top. The onions ended up a bit sweet towards the end, but very flavourful.
The pastas were both quite good. The gemelli was light, yet flavourful, but the ingredients were chopped a little on the larger side. My friend felt like she was eating leaves with the size of the shallots.
The penne was great with a nice balance in the flavours. Nice chunks of chicken as well.
For dessert, we shared the Drunken Donuts and they were absolutely amazing. They came with 3 dipping sauces (lemon, coffee, and caramel) which made each bite a different experience, but it was still delicious as is.
Service was amazing, even though we came quite late at night. Very attentive and made sure everything worked out nicely.
Definitely an upgrade from the old location to this one. Makes me want to go to Milestones a little more now. Check it out.
