Milestones

I dont mind milestones, I just think there are many more restaurants in Guelph that are better value than this one. For my personal tastes I find the menu very limited, and so I always end up ordering a burger. Both times I have been, one with a group of four, one with a group of 8, it has taken over an hour to get food. The service is not good at this place, yet it is always very very busy. It is also very very cold, I found myself eating dinner with my coat on because it was so cold. The burger itself was good, I have no complaints about the food, but it was just average. I would say the Woolwich arrow hands down beats the taste of the burger. It gets very busy around 7:30pm, so go early if you want dinner. The only saving grace, which makes me actually love milestones a little, is their Monday night girls night. I found it be excellent value for money, and really enjoyed the food. Once again we had a problem with service on that night, and ended up getting our Bellini cocktails in regular glasses, which is not a big deal, but was dissapointing to us, as we saw the table next to us get nice glasses. I also find the show more attention to older customers, than a group of students, which I have witnessed every time I am there. While i don't love it, I don't hate it, I just find it very middle of the road. I also wanted to add, that in my first visit my friend ordered the Ceasar Salad as her main dish, and what came out was disgraceful. It was a bowl of lettuce, with no dressing 1 crouton, very bland tasteless and not what I would expect, she never complained and still payed for it, but now whenever we go back (which is usually because we are going to someones birthday etc, not by choice) we have to advise everyone not to order that item.

Disappointing Risotto

Service was good and food nicely presented at this lunch time birthday gathering for 12. A fabulous frozen peach bellini was the perfect way to start.The seafood risotto sounded wonderful but arrived looking more like a sticky mess than a creamy delight. Still, I will return and give them a second chance. Birthday folk got a scoop of delicious vanilla gelato complete with sparkler and chocolate cookies. Coffee was delicious, too.

Great food, great time

We showed up at Milestones on a Wednesday during their date night promotion - what a great idea! We had a great time and the food was really fantastic. It was odd though that they list a caesar salad as a sharable appetizer, but when we asked if it came with 2 plates, the waitress said she would make a special request to have it served that way. She delivered, and the salad was fabulous. The entrees were also fantastic and my partner admitted it was the best steak he had in a long time. The desert was one of the best apple crumbles we have ever had as well. The servers were very pleasant, however I did feel as though the service was slightly slower than I would have preferred. Overall it was a great time with great food and we will return.

Wow!!!

This was our first time at Milestone; we were totally amazed with our server Rachel, food was cooked to perfection (compliment to chef), impeccable service and great ambiance. We will definitely be back with more friends…

not so good either

Baked goat cheese and slow roasted flatbread plate is fantastic. Could use more goat cheese. The little mound they give you is not enough for 2 people. Substituted mushroom risotto for the garlic mashed potatoes on the Grilled sirloin with Roasted Mushrooms and Gorgonzola Marsala dish. The mushroom risotto was so stodgy it was practically a solid. The rice was overcooked to the point of being mush. Not only the texture was subpar but it didn't taste very good either. The vegetable was raw. I like crisp veggies but it can be taken too far. It was briefly steamed, and utterly tasteless. My steak was good. Plate presentation was unappealing. My first visit to Milestone Guelph just before Christmas 2010 was fabulous - service, food, everything. I was thrilled and raved to everyone I knew about it. I've been back twice and both times the service was indifferent, and the food sub par. This is not the first class restaurant I'd hoped had come to Guelph.
