Milestones - Calgary

Living in Varsity there are not a lot of options, so Milestones was one of a few. If I am going to go to the Market Mall I will make sure to stop in for a snack or on the weekend the Prime Rib Hash for brunch, its a bit better than the one on Stephen Avenue for the Hash.

I must admit, I was never interested to dine here however, working in the area there aren't many options so we decided to try something new. We came for lunch and surprisingly it was quite busy (probably holiday season plays a part). <br/ <br/ We waited for a couple mins and a hostess took us to our table. The waitress was young but very professional. She sold us their special $5 off on a bottle of wine. Excellent wine selection. <br/ <br/ First thing I noticed was the prices which seemed more expensive than others. But shortly after i changed my mind as I saw waitresses carrying enormous plates. Immediately the portobello mushroom chicken caught my eye. It came with slices of portobello and 2 decent sized chicken breast. Though it said vermicelli it wasn't. It was a thinner pasta noodle. My date had the spicy Thai Chili and loved it, spicy though she says! We also tried the calamari which was not oily and came with 2 dipping sauces. We had the dessert plate to share which came with 4 different types of dessert. I only enjoyed the cheesecake and ice cream (not much of a dessert person). <br/ <br/ Overall the experience was great! Food turned out better than I had expected and portions were big. Staff were polite and friendly. I may just come back!

I wasn't too excited about coming here, but I was blown away! Immediately spotted the butternut squash ravioli on the menu, and was not disappointed. Amazing sauce, goat cheese and flavorful ravioli that melted in my mouth. My companion really enjoyed her burger, and their fries taste great! Good value for taste.

Well you can't really go wrong with any Milestones. They have great bellinis! I really enjoyed their spinach and artichoke dip. It's a great sharing plate.

Although the menu changes often it 's easy to find something that 'll spark your interest. The 'mayan burger ' is one of the best burgers I 've had and I definitely recommend this place for a nice cool and relaxed lunch. Service is great, restaurant seems clean and the food is fantastic.
