Milestones - Saskatoon

Saskatoon seems to be generally shifting away from chain restaurants in favour of local places. Milestones has some good food so if you aren't picky about chains it's definitely worth a visit. Atmosphere: nice clean place, pretty good patio area in the summer. Service: even when short staffed I've always received good service hereFood: the menu changed to focus more on "super food" type stuff so the food is less chain like than most places- before it was in line with Boston pizza etc, now it's a bit more unique. I love the butternut squash ravioli, and the beet salad is very nice. The Monday deal (4 Bellini's and 4 appies for $40) is somewhat ridiculous and a great deal for friends going out together. Overall: Good location, good food, good service. Will return.

Good food with range of selections to suit most people. The server was friendly and pleasant. The atmosphere was pleasant. The area we sat in was not too noisy.

Well - - - here we are again a year later my 3rd review of this Milestones.Most of what I had said in my last year's posting is the same except for the server. FAITH B our server was of course different from our past two (not a bad thing though)as she was efficient please my and attentive and smiley --- yup smiles work in the business as those who are or were servers well know.Anyway ---meal choices etc:* Me --virgin Caesar tall glass not too much ice spicy two limes please (perfect)* * Wife -- Mimoso cocktail (perfect)* Me-- 10 oz. Steak & Frite medium rate please --- cooked to perfection and a nicely presented plate. Tasty tender awesome ---woild order it again.** Wife --- Fish Tacos nicely presented tasty and filling*** Both --- coffee black (the only way REAL coffee connoisseurs enjoy their java.Hot bold satisfying.So once again we enjoyed our meal Only glitch is that our table and one next to it need attention to stop the wobble --- It's not the eleven PATIO ---they're loose where the pipe from the table top goes into the base. Probably can be tightened by turning over and tightening the fastening hardware. Might be a good idea to go over them all.A note on the patio surroundings:Given this restaurant is on one of the busiest streets (8th st.) there wasn't a lot of traffic noise ---some but we were able to easily have a normal conversation in the late --early evening sun.Once again on the price point $$$$ it is not cheap and would like the bill of fate to be approaching eating at a higher end establishment ---- note to owner --- be careful with the menu prices as there is a whack of similar competition out there and this isn't the level The Ivy was back in the day.

We arrived ed at the restaurant and we're seated immediately. Our waiter was fantastic, treated us like you'd expect in a top five star restaurant. The meal was excellent and that coupled with the service made for an outstanding experience.

My wife and I have come here a few times over the last year and have had very good experiences each time. Our favourite menu item is the Brie and Mushroom Melt burger with a California Spring Salad as a side. It's a well executed burger and the salad (with its spicy glazed pecans) is one of the best I've tasted. My wife is also a fan of their yam fries - best she's tasted as well. Staff have always been friendly and the atmosphere is quiet and relaxed. I recommend this place to friends all the time.
