| - If you are looking for somewhere generic to hang out at Yonge and Dundas, this is a decent bet. I had been admiring the location of this milestones and wanted to check out the view from above the AMC.
Its on the top floor of the AMC, and taking the elevators up is fun! You feel like you are going higher and highter to an exclusive locale. The restaurant itself is pretty average. I've been to the Milestone's in Burlington and its alot better looking than this one.
On one side is the lounge, which is self seating. The other side is the dining area (which I think has a better atmosphere but I didnt look that hard). I went over to the lounge, as I was meeting a friend for a drink. I snagged a couple chairs along the window, yay I got my view!
I felt like I was sitting in a cafeteria. I dont know what it was, but there was a lack of cozyness to the place. It was super loud and some crazy woman was laughing hysterically beside us. There were TVs in the background...I cant recall if the noise was from them or the crowd itself. I would say the place was 75% full, which is pretty good for a rainy Sunday evening. They don't take reservations.
I had a glass of Reisling, my friend had a beer. I enjoyed my wine! And it was around $8 for the glass, very reasonable. Service was fast and pleasant.
With the rain, people watching was not the best below. I got to see some homeless people checking the garbage cans, others running here and there out of the rain...thats about it.
I dont think I will go back here. Its...a good view and a cool concept, but not that exciting or swanky to hang in.
