I fell in love with Milestone's about 10 years ago when it was a west coast only franchise and there weren't any in Toronto. I was pretty amped when they started opening them up in Ontario.\n\nHere is why this place is decent:\n\n+++PROS+++\n1. The food isn't bad compared to other restaurants in it's class (i.e. Jack Asstor's, Montana's). Some dishes are really nice -- namely the Thai Noodle Salad and the California Burger (better than a lot of the burger-only joints popping up). Good stuff.\n2. Because of the competition in the area, I've been able to drop in and get a seat no problem, even on weekend. Maybe I've been lucky.\n3. The Bellini is fantastic. It's like a peach slushie that will get you hammered.\n4. Atmosphere is easy going and the wait staff have always been spot on. Restaurant/floor managers can be seen regularly on the floor making sure everyone is on top of things.\n5. Great location near Queen Street, Chinatown, Kensington, and the clubbing district. Nice pre-bar spot to go to.\n\n---CONS---\n1. It's a franchise. I think that's all I can think of.\n\nThis place gets 4 stars because it delivers on exactly what a chain restaurant like this is set out to do. I can't give it 5, but this place is solid."^^ . .
