I met with my book club today at Nectar, the lounge, which is right next-door and adjacent via a…read moredoorway to Nectar the salon. This will be important later. When we first walked in, we were impressed. Cute little conversation nooks with comfy furniture in little corners, a decent wine and beer list, and some appetizers. The menu says all beers are $5 on Thursday all day. We figured it was perfect for what we needed. We settled into a corner that was near the salon, as there was no other seating inside. Did I mention the comfortable furniture? Well, it's a good thing it was comfortable. We sat for nearly an hour, waiting to have our order taken. The first two of us to arrive we're given some water to drink, but myself, and the other straggler were never offered water. During this time we got to experience the...ahem... aroma of the salon next-door. Peroxide and other hair products don't usually lead to an appetite. We decided to wait it out. And wait we did. After nearly an hour, the one employee who appeared to be working today, came to take our order. My friend ordered a glass of wine and she told him that they were out of that one, so he chose another option. I then ordered a beer, and she started to leave the table. Somehow she hadn't seen that there were 4 of us? Friend who had been ignored quickly said , 'and I'LL HAVE ..." to get the server's attention, and then ordered a glass of wine, while our final friend ordered a beer. There was a buffalo cauliflower appetizer on the menu, and we ordered it for the table. The server arrived after a few minutes with one glass of wine, which she sat in front of me, and a beer which she placed in front of my friend. We assumed that she had just mixed up the two of us, so we traded, and I took a sip of my beer. She then came back with another glass of wine. She started to leave and told us to let her know if there was anything else we needed, so we reminded her that we had another beer and an appetizer coming. This is when she told me that the beer that I had ordered was one that they were out of. I held up the one in my hand and said oh, is this not mine? Since we had already waited an hour, my friend just took the beer that I had sipped from, and I waited while she went to get me my new order. When we were nearly done with our drinks, our appetizer finally arrived. It was all we could do to keep from laughing out loud. That was the smallest possible plate with the smallest possible amount of cauliflower on it. A handful, but not an adult handful. Well, maybe Bernadette from Big Bang Theory, but not an average sized adult hand. For four people. You would think she would have told us that it was small and we might want more than one for the table. Honestly, I would've wanted more than one for just myself. To their credit, the cauliflower did taste good. Good thing the salon smells had ruined our appetite. We waited again and finally got our check. They had charged us for one glass of wine, the overpriced $12 handful of cauliflower, and two beers. However, the advertised five dollar happy hour price for the beer was not reflected on the check. She had charged us seven dollars each for the beers. We called this to her attention when we went to the counter to pay, as well as the fact that she had not charged us for one of our glasses of wine. She said "oh yeah. I did that to make up for the beer. We're not doing that anymore. We don't have happy hour on Thursday anymore." It seemed to have escaped her that you can't list something on the menu at a certain price and then charge a different price. Overall, they get one star for comfy couches. We won't be back.

The space has a modern, stylish vibe, and we were welcomed right away by the large wine bar at the entrance. The staff was friendly and seated us quickly. I'd recommend making a reservation if you're coming with a larger group. They offer three different wine flights, along with a wide selection of wines by the glass. The food menu leans toward small bites--charcuterie boards, cheese platters, and finger foods. I ordered a Caesar salad, but it had an overwhelming amount of shaved cheese and the dressing was a bit bland. I'd love to see more meat-based food options on the menu. Most of the wines we tried were quite good. Eve, the sommelier, was incredibly sweet and accommodating--she let us sample several wines to make sure we found something we liked. We ended up ordering a few bottles. I really enjoyed the rosé, while my friends were big fans of the "Sexual Chocolate," which you'll just have to try for yourself--it's smoky and definitely unique. There was also live music, and the performer was lovely and added to the great atmosphere. Overall, our group had a wonderful time here--great wines, good conversation, and a relaxed vibe. We'll definitely be back!

The flavor was good, but the tomatoes were served quite cold. I think it would have been better if they had at least been room temperature. We both ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with bucatini. The portion size was large, which was nice considering the dish is $32. The chicken was tender and crispy. It was also my first time trying bucatini, and I enjoyed it. I had no idea hollow noodle pasta existed, so that was a fun surprise. I was only able to eat about half of the dish, but it made for good leftovers the next day for lunch. Overall, the food was fine but nothing especially memorable. When I made the reservation through Resy, I selected that we were celebrating a birthday. There was a handwritten birthday card at the table, which was a nice touch. At the end of the meal, we told our waitress we were too full and didn't want any dessert. Despite that, she still brought out a small tiramisu with a candle. I thought it was a nice gesture and assumed it was complimentary, so I was surprised to see a $10 charge on the bill. I wasn't sure if that's standard at some restaurants when you note a birthday on the reservation, but it was my first time experiencing that. I briefly considered asking about it, but it felt awkward in the moment, so I just paid for it and didn't make an issue of it. Since she had already brought it out for us, I did force myself to eat a few bites. The tiramisu itself was soggy, and I also didn't like that it had chocolate syrup on top, which felt a bit unusual to me since I've never had tiramisu served that way before. Overall, we had a pleasant dinner and service was good, but for the price, the food was just okay.

The service has never been better and I highly recommend the 60 Day Dry-Aged Grilled CheeseBurger. Alexa and Nick were a beacon in the light during the great shut down of 2020. They kept the portions the same and the love and kindness pouring out of the doors every time my husband or I wasted another mask, I mean risked our lives to come into contact with those we know and appreciate in our lives. I had to slow my visits to focus on health for a few years but on those fleeting evenings where I dared to eat out I always chose Milestone for their home town family atmosphere and delicious food. Servers have come and moved on over the years and it was a pleasure to interact with each one. Last year, Milestone celebrated its 10th anniversary and it was exciting to see several former employees return to celebrate. To anyone reading this. Be kind to your servers, remember these are your friends, neighbors, and the kids of your neighbors. They take care of this community and elevate our taste buds. This restaurant would not have the feelings it does when you walk in the door if the tenured staff were not around all these years to make sure you and your friends are taken care of and served with a smile on their face. Those skills don't come easily. I want to give Alexa and Nick a huge thank you for investing in this community, and everyone you come in contact with.
