The food, drinks, and conversation were wonderful and much needed! There's lots of seating. Many come here for special events, such as birthdays. There was a family at the back o the restaurant having a bash. There's also a side room that offers more privacy for such occasionings. The bar was pretty. The bartender was nice and funny. We felt like drinks and got the following: - Rum punch - Hibiscus paloma The rum punch had a generous amount of rum, with cubed fruit that felt like a bonus while enjoying this beverage. The pineapple wedge was awesome as a fruit lover. The hibiscus paloma was excellent. It's new on the menu and so refreshing on a hot summer day. Frankly, it went down too easily! The food was stellar! We ordered a bunch of dishes and shared them family-style. We consumed these dishes: - Chilli chicken poutine - Pepper shrimp - Chicken wings - Extra special fried rice - Sweet and sour chicken - Volcano chicken This eatery specializes in Caribbean Chinese food eats. It is also famous for its barbeque chicken. This place does chicken right. Everything was delicious. If I were to select a couple of favourites, they would be the chilli chicken poutine and pepper shrimp. This place does fusions and spicy heat extremely well. The chilli chicken poutine was awesome. It combined my love for chilli chicken that is tender, flavourful, with some heat, with crispy fries and cheese curds. So good! The pepper shrimp were amazing. The shrimp were fresh. I loved the light batter that was crispy and crunchy. I love chicken wings. They were meaty and crispy. I tried a couple of sauces. The dragon sauce had a good amount of spice. I don't know what the other sauce was, but it didn't have a kick. It was mild and yummy. The extra special fried rice was awesome. I loved the fried rice. It had the right balance of veggies, chicken and rice. There was a lot of it! It was then topped with more chicken. The skin was crispy and yummy. The chicken was plump and moist. I took some home because we had a lot of leftover food and this dish was so comforting. The sweet and sour chicken had the right tangy-sweet mix. It wasn't overly sweet. I loved the veggies .This place does chicken so well. The morsels of chicken were yummy all coated in the sauce. The volcano chicken was excellent. It's crispy, tender chicken coated in a spicy sauce that packed a lot of good flavour. I got to witness one of the chefs out on the grill, barbequing chicken. I brought home a barbeque chicken meal over fried rice, that came with mac and cheese, and potato salad. This meal was divine. The chicken was flavourful and tender. The meat effortlessly fell off the bone. The fried rice was perfect. I loved the potato salad that had peas in it. The mac and cheese cube had good flavour and al dente macaroni. The portions are massive. Leaving hungry can't be done! I had a fabulous time. I look forward to returning for more good eats and drinks with good company. (316)

Comes with 2 different kids of hot sauces on the side. The staff are super friendly. I sat in the lobby waiting for my take out order and the staff were very entertaining. Limited parking but some extra around the back. They play great music inside.

Of course, I planned my visit around lunch time so I could enjoy their Caribbean food. I had their Curry Goat, one of my favourite dishes. It was served with rice and Coleslaw.

Located in a dated / run-down plaza, we had our doubts walking into the place if we should just…read moreleave and find another spot. The place is very spacious but the set-up is a bit off. Can tell right away the sitting area / tables / chairs can use some refinements. Asked for what they have on draft, the answer is nothing but they have a wide collections of beer in bottles/cans. Although that was a bit disappointing for a bar/lounge, it is not the end of the world. Ordered jerk chicken, and ox tail, the server kindly recommended us getting the cut-up version of the jerk chicken and ox tail on rice to get the most value out of it. She is damn right, price is very reasonable for the portion they offer and man, the ox tail was top notch + well seasoned. Abundant of sauce to go with the rice. She also gave us the home made hot sauce in 2 little plastic containers, that was also very good. I think I would recommend ordering take-out / food delivery from this place as the food was actually quite amazing. Like I said the sitting experience isn't the best but it is one of those places that can win you with the price, the portion and the food itself. Rough around the edges but it makes me want to come back in an interesting way.

Parking seemed limited at first, but there's more available in the back. Just a tip: be careful not to miss the entrance, since exiting is a one-way street and re-entering can be tricky. We arrived around 6:45 pm and saw a small line with two groups ahead, but the place is much bigger than it looks from the outside and we were seated quickly in a comfortable booth for four. The pub was clean, and I was especially surprised at how spacious and tidy the washrooms were--not what I usually expect from a pub, which tend to feel older and worn. The menu is huge, and TVs are everywhere--even in our booth. Between us, we tried a good range of dishes: 1. Caprese Salad with Steak - nicely balanced with pesto, though the steak was a little dry. 2. Fish and Chips - incredible portion for $18! Crispy, perfectly cooked fish with fries, coleslaw, and even a Caesar salad. The fries were well-seasoned (no ketchup needed), coleslaw was enjoyable despite me usually not liking it, and the Caesar was delicious. 3. Mexican Salad - flavorful, fresh, and generous in portion. 4. Tuesday Wing Special - wings were $0.90 each, so I ordered 15 with a Coke Zero. The garlic Parmesan was disappointing--dry and lacking flavor--but the Buffalo ranch wings were tender and spot-on. Service was friendly, though our waitress could have been more proactive with drink and water refills. Overall, I was impressed. Clean space, huge portions, good value, and a welcoming pub atmosphere. Definitely a solid stop if you're in the area.

I saw their signature Bellini (heard that it is frozen mix of rum, peach liqueur and sparkling…read morewhite wine, topped with sangria) in some advertisement. It looked good, and this restaurant is close to home, and that it is in the weekend happy hour menu. So, we decided to give it a try. While Bellini's presentation was good, I found it too sweet, and I did not feel my desired booziness. Disappointed. I also ordered Mojito (2oz) - the presentation was not sophisticated, the mint was withered. Finally, I tried Caeser(2oz)- They have 3 different Caesars, and I chose Mango one as it sounded unique. Again- presentation was artless and watery. For snack - we had Avocado Feta dip. This one was good. Avocado was fresh and the corn chips tasted fresh and crispy. The size was generous. But the presentation was not impressive. Beer menu is limited. We concluded that, their weekend happy hour is a good idea. We are here around 3pm and the place was busy! But we will not come to this restaurant other than happy hours. The quality of drink (other than wine- which we did not try) is regular pub level.

We went last evening to the Milestones location in Whitby…read more Usually it's okay for service but tonight was terrible Where to start Me and my best friend had ordered Cauliflower bites ....we chose the Korean BBQ flavoured bites We also ordered drinks prior to ordering the food and we had to remind the waitress to bring our drinks after she only brought water When our appy came it was the wrong flavour....it was Cauliflower Parmesan bites which we did try but the flavour was horrible so we sent it back and asked for our original order The food came before we received our appy When we got the appy, the bites were drenched in the Korean bbq sauce and were inedible so we sent those back Additionally with my meal that I ordered....a sweet chili chicken bowl....the chicken was clumped together and definitely inedible We also noticed our waitress was spending a lot of time at the table behind us and rarely checked on us....even though it was not busy Our waitress did not ask if we wanted another appy option or to be comped from our bill When our bill arrived the cauliflower bites were on the bill but I didn't look at the bill and paid as the waitress was standing there waiting for me to pay I needed change so when she brought back the change she didn't bring back the bill to see if the bites were removed so I asked her to bring the bill back She brought the bill back and left We decided to go to the hostess on our way out to ask for our money back for the appy we never ate She got her manager and her manager took care of this which was appreciated This is definitely disappointing as this was the worst service we have had at a Milestones location and I likely will not come back here

I noticed Sunset Grill next door. I made a mental note of it and had a late lunch there on Saturday. I parked steps away from the place. There is plenty of parking. I walked in. I saw the sign to seat yourself. I did just that. My first impression was the service. I sat there for five minutes without getting a menu. One server came over and said hi, asked how I was, and then walked away. I still didn't have a menu. Forget about asking for cutlery. I walked in at around 2 pm. There were roughly five tables with folks dining. I wouldn't consider it to be overly hectic. There was a woman sweeping the floors the whole time while I waited for a menu. Interesting. Another server came over and asked what I'd like to drink. Since I visit Sunset Grill fairly regularly, I went with a Diet Coke. When my Diet Coke and glass with ice came, I got a menu. It seemed a bit backwards. Anyway, I was pleased to finally get a menu and decide what I wanted to have. I ordered my usual, which is three slices of French toast, with a side order of corned beef hash. I got brown toast. My meal took no time to make. I was hungry and happy to have food in front of me. The food quality is consistent with Sunset Grill. This place makes French toast so well that you get extra fried egg that is hanging off each slice. I love the extra snack! The corned beef hash had nice crispy parts. So flavourful! I was happy. I asked for the bill. Normally, you pay at the front counter. The server actually came over with a machine, as I used my credit card. It was a nice touch. I also got a lollypop. The women's washroom is a single stall. It was clean and you get a hook on the door. I am hoping that service can improve here. Otherwise, it's a good place to have a late lunch on the weekend. (165)
