    Food overall was good- great appetizers (the caesar salad was delicious as was the shrimp cocktail) but the steaks were all very salty... the seasoning used was overpowering at times. Child's meal was forgotten- was not brought out with adult dinners. Then, when meal came out, the steak for child was rare-medium... too bloody for a child to eat. The server did comp the child's dessert as recognition for the delay in food being delivered. Overall, it is a lovely restaurant and a great ambience-- but a bit too pricey for the average family on vacation.

    Had a wonderful dinner experience at Milestones, from the initial greeting of the host and sound advice of our server, to the tasty dinner that followed. Thoroughly enjoyed the Empress Cosmo & Tokyo Negroni before dinner. Food was hot and well presented - Shrimp & Scallop Scampi, Chili Lime Cod & Tuscan Gnocchi did not disappoint. We will definitely be back!

    Ordered Filet mignon, cooked perfectly at medium rare, tender, juicy and flavorful. Steak baked potato, large enough to share, too much for 1 person. Also ordered lobster tail. It was delicious but I had to dig it out of the shell. For the money it should have been placed outside the shell so as not to have to dig for the meat. The Caesar salad was very good as well. Our server was polite and attentive. The atmosphere was quiet, just perfect for relaxing while enjoying our meal.
