| - I was really surprised at how good this new Milestones at Enterprise Blvd is after having tried the chain at its Yonge (North York), and Hwy 7 & Warden locations every few years. I've always ranked this restaurant as above Pickle Barrel, but below The Keg.
Hubby and I had a fantastic date night on Wednesday: The restaurant was warm and not drafty, the decor was pretty nice (wall of wine bottles on one side, open kitchen window on the other), and the noise was not bad because it didn't bounce off the walls and chairs.
We ordered the 10oz prime rib with mash, grilled Mediterranean chicken over kale/spinach/chickpeas, and the donuts dessert to share. The chicken was great, and I think I liked it more than the prime rib, surprisingly. The prime rib was perfect medium rare, very standard fare, the grilled veggies were nicely seasoned, and it came with sour cream horseradish and gravy. We really had no more room for dessert, but we enjoyed the mains so much we wanted to know if the dessert would cinch it (and it did). Service was very pleasant, though a little green possibly because the restaurant just opened and staff may be new.
Only humorous thing about the night was when they tried to recommend their $5 off wine, but it was a very general "we've got cheap wine" kind of sales pitch without going into what the wine was (even if it's just the house wine, tell me something about it to make it sound fancy). We told our server that the food was really good and better than expected, she informed us that the restaurant had updated its menu...so we think it's possible they streamlined the offerings and improved the food quality and taste.
They have a Scene points promotion too, but it's only 20 scene points...that would take forever to get to 1 free movie ticket.
I have no issues with the parking offered, there is underground parking too, but I guess lots of people are not used to parking underground or they don't feel like walking a few extra meters to and from their car. I think the walk would do most people good after eating so much food :)
