Our server, Cora, went out of her way to ensure that we had a really enjoyable evening. Even though the walk from the Rideau Centre to Milestones Rideau was a very short one, because it was a very cold night, I was really cold by the time I arrived at the restaurant. I asked for a cup of herbal tea to warm me up. Unfortunately, herbal teat was not on the menu. Cora went out of her way and gave me a cup of hot water with lemon and honey. It was truly appreciated. She checked on us several times during dinner to ensure the meal was fine. We had a wonderful meal and time. Please thank Cora our thanks. Is it possible to add herbal tea or decaf tea to your menu?

We had a lovely evening with excellent food and service. The oysters were fresh, delicious and served with 2 sauces that really elevated the taste. Another stand out dish was the seafood chowder, really delicious. We enjoyed the rest of the meal and I loved the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert. Also noted that our cappuccinos were very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant and look forward to going again.
