    I came here with a friend for lunch and enjoyed the ambiance and food. The lettuce wrap are my new go-to item and was pleasantly surprised by the portion and flavor of the chicken and sauces. A must try if you are checking out this restaurant. The service was great and the entire restaurant was clean and aesthetically pleasing.

    Admittedly, I am not usually a huge fan of chain restaurants, and much prefer independently owned "mom and pop" kind of places, but I was at this Milestones recently and I was quite impressed. I had dinner there with my husband and father-in-law and overall everyone enjoyed their meals. We started with the Wham-Bam Shrimp Appetizer ($14.50). It was breaded and deep fried shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce, with a chipotle aioli dipping sauce on the side. This appetizer was excellent. I loved the spicy kick to it and the sweetness made it not too hot. I also liked that the entire shrimp was peeled, including the tail. I had the Surfside Salad ($23) which was mixed greens, pineapple and tomato salsa, avocado, grilled salmon and 4 grilled shrimp. The mixed greens were a mesclun mix with some romaine (thankfully no iceberg lettuce) and all fresh, no wilted pieces. The avocado was also ripe and green with no black or rotten pieces. The salmon was nicely seasoned and grilled. The shrimp while a good size, were way too salty for my liking :( However, this was the only disappointing thing about my dish. I asked for the dressing on the side and it arrived as requested. And overall, I liked the salad. My husband had the Wagyu Meatloaf ($25) which came with mashed potatoes and vegetables (bell peppers and asparagus). He liked his meal but commented that the meatloaf was a bit salty. My father-in-law had the Grilled Sirloin ($26) which usually comes with vegetables and roasted potatoes, but he asked for fries instead of roasted potatoes and they were ok with that. He asked for his steak medium-well "with some pink in the middle," but he felt that his steak was overdone as there was "no pink in the middle." He still enjoyed his meal as he said the flavouring was excellent. They ended up discounting his steak by 25% which I thought was a nice gesture. The fries were shoestring fries (my favourite cut) and I had a few and they were delicious. Very crispy. Service was excellent. I was most impressed by the hostess who through the windows saw us coming with my father-in-law walking very slowly with his walker, and she came out and held the doors open for us. How nice was that? Our server (who was training a new employee that evening) was courteous and attentive. He was very knowledgeable about the menu and proactively asked about allergies and food restrictions. Decor is neat and modern. The restaurant is in The Kanata Centrum. It is near the CIBC bank and Best Buy, not far from the Holiday Inn hotel.

    Although more red than pink, this steak was tender and juicy; delicious!

    We don't go to Milestones that often, but this was the 2nd time we've been to this location - both times being in the same year. Whoa! First time was celebrating a birthday; 2nd time was "just because", with some friends. I ordered what I wanted and it was tasty, but this is an upscale restaurant as far as prices go. We sat near the front door, and my seat was facing the entrance, which was perfect because I love to people watch! Sure enough, someone else I know came in; and I happen to know she had just cause to celebrate! The greeters at the front door are all very pretty young ladies, all wearing tight and short black dresses, but the serving staff was not dressed that way. One greeter looked a bit uncomfortable, pulling it down in the front of her dress as if it kept creeping up (it's funny what you remember!) However, the service was attentive, which I appreciated. As for the food, it was very tasty. Although I asked for my steak to be done medium, and I had a discussion with the waitress that that meant "pink not red inside", it still came out more red than I would have liked. But it was juicy and tasty. It will be interesting to see how this place fares, with their latest competition in the neighbourhood: The Keg just opened up at Hazeldean and Huntmar. Maybe it won't make a difference? A little competition is healthy. The service and the food were very good here; I can't complain. However, due to the prices, we won't be eating there too too often. It was a splurge and a real treat - all the way down to desert.

    This was a beautiful restaurant. The interior is very classy with dim lighting for ambience. The staff were all very friendly. The waitress gave me tips on the drinks I was ordering and I'm very grateful for that. She saved me from wasting my money on drinks I wouldn't have liked and were strong with alcohol. I had the lobster and shrimp bisque and it was delicious! The cheesecake was also delicious. The bellini is a favourite drink and you can't go wrong. It's a definite must try. The prices are a little above average but not bad. They have some pretty awesome daily specials like their Monday girls night/boys night and their Wednesday date nights. They also serve brunch on the weekends. Overall, I will return. My only complaint was that the waiter messed up on distributing our scene points. He put them all on the first card he received so the rest of us didn't get our points, which sucked but wasn't the end of the world.

    GO TO THIS RESTAURANT ASAP! Five stars!! I have never had a bad experience at this Milestones location. Food is always amazing, and the service is always top notch! Never an empty water glass. The music is never too loud. Just a very comfortable atmosphere. The menu selection is great - pastas, burgers, fish, chicken dishes, vegetarian options, sandwiches...etc. I'm a pretty picky eater, and I have loved everything I have eaten. The food is always so fresh and perfectly made. Never cold, over cooked or undercooked. For a fancier place, the portions are huge too. I am always stuffed when I leave. I try to visit this Milestones at least once a week! Check it out!!!!

    Stopped by here for lunch with a bunch of my fiancés co-workers. I ordered the Crispy chicken, which was OK (won't get it again) and yam fries - which were good. We also ended up getting a dessert which was the chocolate cake, and that was a tasty dessert. A bit on the pricy side! I feel like the fries really saved this review from me giving it a 2.5. I'm not sure if I'd go back here unless it's for a group occasion again.

    The menu and a my friend!

    Been to this location on many occasions. The staff are great, the food is always excellent. My favourite is the Milestones California salad with chicken. I get it just about every visit. If you haven't tried it, you should! I will definitely go back :)

    See those bars? It's a trap!!!!!

    I enjoyed my time at Milestones, and I would certainly recommend it to friends and family looking for a nice evening out. We went on a Monday, which allowed us to have the Monday night special of 4 Bellini's and 4 appetizers for $40. It was great for our group and from there we ordered a few entrées. I had the chicken portobello pasta, which I thoroughly enjoyed. There are two reasons this restaurant is not 5 stars. One, they recently revoked their military discount, which I think is a shame. Second, half of the tables are enclosed by decor that I can only describe as a wooden cage. We sat at a table that was "cage-free", but were I to sit there I would feel as if I'm eating a meal behind bars. Photo to follow. The food can be a little on the pricy side (hence why I miss the military discount), that being said you get what you pay for.

    Good food and service. We enjoyed a surf and turf and a top sirloin with asparagus. Taste so good. I will come back.

We sat at the bar and the bartender told us we "reeked" and couldn't come close to us (we were puzzled as we were in a fancy restaurant earlier that night and knew we didn't stink). She welcomed another group of customers and told them she couldn't go near us because we stank. The cook came out of kitchen to clock out and have a beer, he sat beside us and apologized for her behaviour, and she snapped at him. Definitely unprofessional and made us feel very uncomfortable.

I wasn't crazy about my meal, but the men thought theirs were ok. 2.5 stars overall, but I'll be nice and round up to 3. We all ordered from their limited-time Lobsterfest menu. I got the Lobster Rolls ($18) and my husband and father-in-law both got the One Pound Lobster Dinner (market price, which was $29 that day). I got a choice of fries, pub chips or soup with my lobster rolls and I chose fries. I was pretty disappointed with my lobster rolls. They were filled with mostly imitation crab/Surimi, barely any lobster. There were zero lobster chunks, just tiny lobster specks. The filling was also a bit too salty for my tastes. The filling tasted like imitation crab, mayo, green onions and salt. The rolls had lettuce and tomatoes, and there was a pickle spear on the side. The rolls were in a buttered hot dog bun. I think a more accurate name for the rolls would have been "imitation crab rolls." The accompanying fries were ok. They were at least crispy and hot, and thankfully not too mealy. Incidentally, my husband had had the Lobster Rolls at a different Royal Oak (downtown Ottawa) a little over a week earlier, and he said his rolls had lobster chunks in them and he enjoyed his rolls, so I really think not all Royal Oaks are equal. The Lobster Dinners that my husband and father-in-law had came with two sides. My husband got the soup and pub chips and my father-in-law got the soup and fries. The soup of the day was a "sweet and spicy beef soup." I had a taste of the soup and it was quite good. It had an Asian twist to it with the seasonings that were in it and the beef was so tender. I had some of the pub chips and they were good as well. I liked that some were super crispy, but some were a little softer with a little bit of chewiness. The men said the lobsters were good, but obviously not as good as lobster when you're in the Maritimes (which is where my father-in-law is from). Service was friendly. We did wait a bit longer than I expected to to get our food, but not an unreasonable amount of time. It's in a strip mall, so lots of free parking.

    The Short Version: Small burger joint. No fryer so no fries…read more I enjoyed the smashed burger. Minimal seating. The Long Version: I was sad to see Pomelo Hat at this location close down, but when I saw Taste Junction open up, I had to try it because you know, I like trying new restaurants, lol. Taste Junction serves up burgers, sandwiches and hotdogs. They don't have a fryer so no fries, chicken tenders, etc. My husband and I got a smash burger $10.99 and a BBQ pulled chicken burger $10.99 to share. But I wasn't crazy about the chicken burger and my husband liked both burgers so I ended up eating most of the smash burger whereas he ate most of the BBQ pulled chicken burger. The smash burger came with cheese, caramelized onions, lettuce and tomatoes. I got ketchup and mustard on it. It was nicely smashed, with slightly crispy edges. The flavour was good. It wasn't too salty. I liked that it was a plain bun without seeds. I would get this burger again. The BBQ pulled chicken burger I found too messy to eat because it feel apart easily. It had caramelized onions and lettuce. I added BBQ sauce. The flavour was ok. My husband liked it a lot though. Service was courteous. It was a one man show so there was a bit of a wait for the food but that's understandable. There's not a lot of seating to eat in. Just 4 seats facing the window bar seating style. I guess it's mostly a takeout joint. Street parking only. Review #201 (2025)
