    Sandwich Trio with McWatters Chardonnay
    Cheryl H.

    Stumbled upon this restaurant as we got off our shuttle. They have some nice tables outside with heaters. However, we were a little chilled so opted for indoor seating. So glad we did! Our server, Stephanie was really top notch. She was so friendly and provided us with great service during our lunch. We had been told to try a BC wine (since we are from California) - so we tried the McWatters Chardonnay. It did not disappoint and complemented our meal nicely. Speaking of meal - the Sandwich Trio was amazing. The mushroom soup had a swirl of Basil Olive Oil on top that gave it such a nice flavor. The California salad dressing was creamy but not heavy. The sandwich - well.... You will just have to try it.

    Original Bellini

    Annie was our server. Very cute and friendly young lady. Her service was perfect. My wife started with the Thursday special Original Bellini (peach). Their Lager on tap was a solid choice for me. Enjoyed their burger which was certainly Angus beef. Get the Parmesan garlic fries!

    SMASHED BLACK N' BLUE BURGER

    Convenient, comfort food, great views, and friendly service. This is an ideal pit stop after a day of walking around the harbor. The large windows of this restaurant provides excellent views of the harbor, The Fairmont Empress, and even Parliament Building. Decided to try Milestones for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Service was phenomenal. The hostess and server was very friendly and personable. The hostess ensure we had a nice table with a view of the harbor and our server was on point and consistently checked in. The menu had a decent range of selections. I started with a Tokyo Negroni which was a delicious mix of Toki whisky, Campari, Cointreau, sweet vermouth, orange bitters. For entree, I opted for the Smashed Black N' Blue Burger with side of garlic parmesan fries. The burger patties were smaller than the burger, however they were juicy and cooked perfectly. The garlic parmesan fries were delicious and crispy. Also served generously. I would absolutely come back to try their seafood items.

    Looking for a spot to rest and eat while touring the Inner Harbor of Victoria? Try Milestones. Get a booth next to the window for great views of the Empress Hotel, the Legislative Building, and the busy water taxis buzzing about the harbor. I recommend the Baja fish tacos. The basa fish is a "creamy" white fish that goes well with the aioli, avocado, and tomato. The sweet potato fries are done right, crispy and not too crispy and well-seasoned. Other dishes that my party enjoyed: sirloin steak (rated VERY good) and the portobello mushroom chicken. The sushi bowl with ahi tuna was so-so. The rice in particular is not quite the right consistency for a sushi dish. The ever hard to find double chocolate cookie also makes an appearance here. While I could do without the white chocolate chunks, this chocolate delight still worked for me. The kids of course absolutely loved and devoured it.

    Drinks and artichoke dip & roasted cauliflower to start

    We tried this restaurant on a mini vacation to Victoria. Nice atmosphere, beautiful views of the water and a nice menu We tried drinks and shared plates and loved it all.

    Comfortable, convenient meals, breathtaking views, and kind service. After a day of exploring the port on foot, this is a great place to stop. This restaurant's huge windows offer fantastic views of the Parliament Building, the Fairmont Empress, and the waterfront. I chose to have lunch at Milestones and was pleasantly delighted by the whole experience. The level of service was outstanding. The server and hostess were nice and approachable. Our waitress was punctual and regularly checked in, and the hostess made sure we had a lovely table overlooking the port. There was a good variety of options on the menu. I began with a Tokyo Negroni, a delectable concoction of sweet vermouth, orange bitters, Campari, Toki whiskey, and Cointreau. I chose the Smashed Black N' Blue Burger for my meal, along with a side order of garlic parmesan fries. Although the burger patties were smaller than the actual burger, they were nonetheless well cooked and juicy. Crispy and tasty were the garlic parmesan fries. abundantly served as well. Without a doubt, I would return to sample their fish offerings.

    Mussels and salmon

    So the patio view is amazing! The service was decent, it wasnt amazing but I feel we were being a bit high stress so I kind of understand. The deep fried cauliflower was alright, my mussels were alright over all. I mean the sauce was great I will say that. The salmon was really good and the wine selection is top notch! Probably worth a visit but not cheap bring your wallet.

    Love this spot on the waterfront in downtown Victoria. It's the perfect location, especially if you arrive by ferry or float plane to the harbor--just walk right over! There's a finer dining restaurant space upstairs and downstairs, plus a beautiful outdoor patio just feet from the water with a super fun vibe, especially in the summer. The food is exceptional--it really never fails. It serves as comfort food that's better than anything you could ever make at home with a fine dining fusion twist. You must try a Bellini if you haven't before--they're the best and so refreshing in the summer. I had the pulled pork bao buns, and they were delicious. They also do wonderful pastas, and the seafood is one of my favorites. They have the best fries, Caesar salads, and all the classics. Truly one of the best milestones locations!

    This gets a 5+! Server Makena was so helpful, guiding us to the perfect options to share. Coconut Calamari was delicious to start. Squeeze that lime juice all over! Fresh grilled Salmon, couscous and seasonal veggies hit the mark, followed by key lime pie. Gazed at the Victoria harbor through the late afternoon haze and enjoyed the waterfront views.

    Wandering around the beautiful inner harbor of Victoria BC, we came upon Milestones. What a gorgeous setting overlooking the water and right up against Government Street. The dining room is wonderfully appointed and the menu feels sturdy and refined. Yes, I'm recognizing the menu and how it feels in the hands as it's reflective of the restaurant itself. Friendly staff and wonderful meal! I had the chicken and recommend it. Extra bonus for the Old Fashioned but not needed for 5 stars! Good job Canada. I'd like to return one day.

    sweet spicy bloody merry
    Christina C.

    Had a great experience at this location. Even tho it was mothers day and we didn't had reservation they were able to give us a table. We got a nice table with harbor view. My favorite was bloody merry with pineapple, shrimp, mozzarella and kabanos. We had a quick lunch while exploring city during our cruise stop at Victoria. Lovely island with lovely parks and scenery. I took mushroom soup which was too bland for me but spinach artichoke dip and my husbands tacos were excellent. Price was very good as well. Service was very quick.

    Martini...as you can see is half glass at a full price

    I am giving the overall bar a 5! It's a super fun bar located right off the major street in…read moreVictoria. I was visiting for only 4 short hours. We wanted to grab a beer and head back to the boat. The atmosphere is super fun. We were greeted right away and I was overwhelmed with the beer list. The server let me try a few. I don't think she heard me because it was a little loud. I ended up getting a beer I wasn't a fan of. I'm not one to send things back so I drank what I had. 1 star for the beer I had. This place has MANY drinks to try from. I didn't see a food menu. They might have one. I also didn't see a physical menu, it was scanned from the bar. Still recommend going here!

    Our group decided they wanted to try a local pub while we were in Victoria for our last night of…read morethe cruise. After a quick search on Yelp we settled on The Churchill so they could try several different local beers. I opted for the featured cocktail of the month Into The Wild with blackberry gin, blueberry liqueur, honey, lemon & orange bitters. I thought it was really good, smooth but potent. When visiting Canada, I thought it was mandatory to get the Poutine - Beer battered fries, squeaky cheese curds, homemade beef gravy. Very filling and did not disappoint. The rest of the family liked their choices (Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken Burgers, Pulled Jackfruit Bun) as well. We sat in a large booth instead of at the bar like most of the regulars and locals. Service was a little slow but would not keep me from coming back.
