Always a good experience at this location. Had the Chef come out and drop of our food, and it turned out to be Chef Jack from chopped Canada, how fun! We had a good chat and she was awesome.will definitely be back soon.

Boyfriend and I first came to this location to celebrate my birthday, what an amazing experience. From the host at the front to the server that served us. I decided to see if we could book the patio for Pride this year because I had some friends coming from Calgary to visit. Thank you so much to Kristy for the outstanding customer. She knows how to treat customer's who come to Milestone. The... more

Service from our waiter was amazing. Food was okay and we had a mostly good experience. Up until my wife heard the waitresses blatantly discussing how they couldn't believe how some parents would bring "a baby like theirs" to a restaurant like theirs. As I look at the waitresses I'm surprised most are legal to serve waitresses, so I understand it, but considering how low key our kids are and... more

I imagine a majority of Yelpers' first reviews are based on negative experiences. I am, gladly, here to report the opposite: despite my expectations of being disappointed, the Milestone's English Bay hostess and server provided excellent service, surprisingly surpassing our expectations.

My partner and I had arrived with cautious hesitation based on our own "bad". On a previous visit to this... more

We went here on our first night in town and were very satisfied. The restaurant has a view of the ocean so of course it was packed and we had to wait a little bit but not too bad for a Saturday night! I ordered the red sangria and it was perfect. The merlot was good as well and the boys got beer. I had the Mediterranean chicken with a side house salad and I honestly would go back and get the... more

Good touristy restaurant located right at the beach in Vancouver. We picked it because they have a good kid's menu. Service from Avery was fast and efficient including several bar items, a selection of happy hour appetizers and some good pasta penne, Thai style noodles and chicken tenders for the kids.

I peeked at some other tables and they were serving some awesome looking bruschetta and a... more

The only good part about this restaurant was the view. Food is expensive and service is terrible. Waited 10 minutes for the server to greet us, waited another 10 minutes for her to get our drinks and come take our order. Food came quick (not delivered by our server) we waited another 10 minutes before we could ask her for cutlery and condiments, then she said sure then proceeded to greet... more

This was an interesting experience. I normally love Milestones as a chain so maybe this was just an off day? Who knows.

Sat on the patio for two in order to enjoy the day and avoid the Cactus Club patio line. It was happy hour so ordered a glass of white, and my dining companion ordered a pint of whitecaps lager. The server came back twice to clarify the order, which was almost cute, except... more

Great drinks and very delicious food. The size does not always match the price but the food is high end and super good!

I ate here right before I headed back to Seattle and I must say, this place had delicious food and yummy drinks! When coming here, I suggest you come during a time when it isn't too packed. Since it is located right on the water near Stanley Park it gets a little difficult finding a close-by parking.
I ordered the Mimosa and Portobello Mushroom Chicken with Mashed Potatoes instead of Vermicelli... more

My husband and I got up and left our table after the hostess gave us major attitude. I don't know where she gets off treating customers like that. Well, sweetheart, if you don't want us there, then we will go somewhere else from now on. Considering we live in the neighborhood and there are plenty of other places to eat. Oh, and we will be sure to tell our friends and neighbors about the way we... more

Bellinis = fabulous
Spinach & artichoke dip = fabulous but overpriced like all of their entrees.
Calamari = not good. Overcooked and rubbery, way overpriced.
Ahi tuna tacos = taste good but you only get 2 tiny tacos for $16, way overpriced
California spring salad = wonderful but you only need to order starter size for $9. I usually add prawns which are another $7. So that's $16 for a salad... more

Had the hot wings with Yam fries. The wings were delicious. The padio view was amazing as well.

We enjoyed the sun going down on the beach leaving a reddish, purplish color on the water and clouds.

Exceptional service and fantastic view ( only if you are lucky enough to find a seat on patio)

Hope you like the view because not much else, especially in the way of dining. Antiquated spinach dip recipe, steroid injected wings dipped in tepid goop. But hey, how about that English Bay!!?

Pretty good food. Great drinks. Awesome view of the sunset with the doors open. Loved it.

I like the beers over there, top reason I go with friends as we all live close by. Foods.. so so.. But I am ok with it, not a meal was memorable. They had some good items before though.

Quite often when beers came, too much foam, seems not enough value. Some days were good, but half of time I felt just not right... maybe bartender too busy too rush..when the foam settle down like someone have... more

The food here was decent but the drinks were great and the service was top notch. We need to bring these down south of the border.

Came here to recover from a late night-on-the-town post-New Year's celebration. This place was perfect! Chill vibes, our waitress was super nice, the service was excellent and fast, and the location was amazing (right on the water)! I had the most delicious smoked salmon eggs benedict with a fruit salad, oh my gosh it was perfection. I'll definitely be coming here again for a nice breakfast... more

Amazing food and service.

To start things off, we had spinach and artichoke dip(came with a bit of salsa and sour cream, also) and that was fabulous. Had the Old Fashioned Burger with Fries and the patty was great and the fries were amazing; perfect portion for a meal.

Our server(don't recall his name) was incredible. Gave us things we didn't even ask for, he just remembered off the top of... more

We went to Milestones because of the coupons we received in the mail. The inside looks great and filled with promise.
Our server took awhile to get us drinks and checked in with us. We waited for our bill for ~35 minutes. You could tell it wasn't her fault. The place looked under-staffed. It's kind of funny because the other server that was working was casually walking around and twiddling her... more

I come here all of the time for breakfast/brunch, and I love it. The view is nice, and they can seat larger parties, so I always come here with family and friends. Their breakfast/brunch is pretty standard nothing too special, but I still love it.
The service is usually pretty good, and the servers are usually friendly.

Most enjoyable

Perfect evening after a big day exploring Whistler the service was good but wouldn't go crazy over it. The location is devine and sitting out on the deck area sublime on such a warm evening, so honestly that can make up for a myriad of flaws. The menu is quite limited and menu choices quite fussy, this said my choice... more

Good quality food with great views of the English bay. I had the seafood salad which was great. Maybe $2 over priced but the quality was excellent. A nice grilled piece of salmon and 6 prawns and a fee calamari on a bed a crispy greens. Wife had the works burger and seemed satisfied. Kids had the mini sliders.

Gluten free options

Great food excellent location looking over English bay. Staff friendly and good range of choices on menu that were gluten free.

Very nice setting to watch the sunset

This was not our first choice for dinner but as the wait in the other place was over 1 hour and we had children we came to the Milestone.
The staff was friendly and very helpful. We got seated within 10 minutes.
The kids food came quickly so they were happy.
The beef was a bit undercooked for my wife... more

First Food in BC

We happened across Milestone's on our journey to Stanley Park. With a group of 9 including 4 teen agers this was the perfect spot. Big menu had something for everyone - big burgers , lots of appetizers, chicken and seafood were all consumed and truly enjoyed. The view out to the ocean was beautiful and the wait staff was prompt... more

Excellent service and good food

We sat on the outside patio and really enjoyed the ambiance of that experience. Our waitress, Meghan, was superb and very caring, genuine and sincere. The food was good, not the best we've ever had, but certainly good. If it wasn't for the service, my rating probably wouldn't have been quite so high.

Good place to try the classic Canadian Caeser

Great patio with a beautiful ocean view.
we didn't eat there.
Service was excellent, good drink specials too!

Disappointing

The ribs were at least a couple days old and reheated in the microwave. The chicken bites were dry and the mussels were not very fresh. The chimichurri cheese bread was awesome, but the meal overall was s bust.

Good food, nice service

Very good mojito, reasonably prices wine, fresh and tasty seafood pasta, nice service. We'll be back :)

Excellent breakfast experience

We visited for breakfast and sat inside. The service was kind and helpful. And the food we ate was very good. Taste-wise, it was probably one of the best breakfasts we had in the Canadian West Coast. We enjoyed it and recommend it warmly as a breakfast place.

Was relatively quick to be seated just after 9pm, less than 5 mins on a nice day. Was a little confusing as no one was at the hostess area as we arrived and lingered a minute.

Our server was quick to come take drink order and we each ordered a glass of red wine with the goat cheese garlic app.

Appetizer/sharing item came out in about 10 mins, and manager came by with the wine and to take our... more

Unprofessional Service & Hostess

I joint my friends at milestones and they where seated at a two top, we kindly ask the server and the hostess if there would be a table for 3 available, after 30 minutes (while I was standing next to my friends on the table) the waiter forgot about us!???? First I didn't not even could order a drink, Second... more

Generally a reliable place

We ate here because it was convenient and I know them to be good about special diets. The waiter was helpful about finding out ingredients and making adjustments, and the food was generally good without being outstanding. We had a good view of the seafront as well, which is always a pleasure.

Good food, friendly staff

Stopped by here while in Vancouver for the weekend.
Having been to a few Milestones' before I had an idea of what we could expect. Meal was good, really liked the calamari! Would eat here again, price is decent.

Really good breakfast

I made two trips to Milestones. One was for breakfast- which was really tasty. I felt it was good value for money too.
The second time was for cocktails. The bar tenders put up with our Englishness and even made us special cocktails. Would definitely recommend.

Good view of the English Bay. Food is slow, even the restaurant was not busy at 5:00pm.
The ocean view was amazing! Love the scenery.
I didn't understand how they made the food so slowly??? It wasn't dinner time yet at 5:00pm, so the chef was still at home or what? Luckily we weren't in a hurry, but we were a little hungry after walking 10K along seawall for 2 hours. Gotta be more... more

The food was good. But WAY over priced. A lunch for two adults and a kid was $70 with tip. And $9 for a kids meal? really? The service was way lacking for the price. Never brought my son his drink or his dessert (both of which were supposed to come with overpriced kids meal) Seemed everyone in our section had an issue with their order or service. I don't think we'll be back. Also, this was the... more

Tuna tacos were awesome

We had a great dinner with kids and grandparents. Everyone was happy. Kids meals were great and we were all happy with our meals. The servers were very attentive and accommodating. Sport screens visible from the table were great for the kids as well as kids activity sheet. Décor is really nice.

Good Location, Good Food, Nice People

This restaurant is at the south end of Denman Street overlooking the water. The menu is international and includes a number of dishes with interesting flavour/spice combinations.
I had a seafood pasta which was excellent although some may find it a little spicy and my wife had prime rib that was also very good.
We split a chocolate ganache cake... more

I think the last time I was at this Milestones it must have been like 10 years ago! If not it sure feels that way. Anyways, I was riding around dt with my cycling boys and we discovered it was lunch time.

I guess you can't go wrong with a Milestones on a Monday afternoon. Consistency is the catch word for franchises like Milestones. I had the breakfast burrito and a coffee. Very good! Fresh... more

Best Caesar Salad

For a chain restaurant Milestones offers the best Caesar Salad, never a disappointment. Service is always prompt and friendly

Memorable meal

I chose this restaurant while recently vacationing in Vancouver both for its reviews, price, menu offerings, location and reccomendation as a family friendly place. Right on Beach Ave. ( where our hotel was) and affordable yet classy, Milestones was my pick for my 50th birthday dinner. The Tilapia with a chipotle kick was fabulous as ( I was told) was... more

Excellent chicken flatbread

We really enjoyed the Chicken Flatbread at the Milestones on Denman. Lots of flavour, fresh basil, and brie and a very healthy serving, lots for a snack for 2! Service was good and the wine list provided some interesting options.

eggs benidict

been my favorite dish for years. My visit just before Christmas was disappointing.
Potatoes were small and dry and the sauce was minimal and not fresh. the waitress replaced the potatoes and gave me a side serving of sauce. By then i was turned off of my food.

Great service at lunch. Yummy food too! We stopped in here on a drizzly afternoon looking for a kid friendly and adult approved lunch. Good selection on both menus. However, the best treat was our server Alisha. She took god care of us and paid extra attention to our son. He thought that was great and made our lunch even more enjoyable. Thanks Alisha.

Excellent dinner

The menu was wonderful and the chef will make your dinner to your specifications. Our waitress (lovely young woman from the Tricities) was personable and accommodating. The restaurant supports the community with a food drive which is awesome!!

Nice Steaks & Hamburgers

Ate here a couple of times and enjoyed both visits. Friendly, efficient staff and tasty North American food. Large portions. Restaurant is bottom of Denman Street opposite English Beach and English Bay and has an outdoor seating to enjoy these views. Also opposite the A-Mazeing statues, which are a 'must visit' when you are in Vancouver. Recommended.

A very good North American food place to eat

We had 6 people with us, travelling together, hard to find a place everyone would like. Most people were picky and just wanted somewhere 'normal'. It was a great restaurant with something for everyone, ages 3 to 67 and all kinds of different tastes.
It's pretty trendy, maybe a little too much. But not a big deal

Excellent Meal

I eat here on a business trip and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I have had on my travels. I had Ceasar salad to start (which I eat everywhere) and it was one of the best I have had. I had steak with shrimp in a pepper sauce which was also excellent. To finish... more

There are better places to eat

We ate at milestones on the second of three nights in Vancouver. we had an absolutely fabulous meal in another restaurant the previous night so my expectations were high; sadly, they were not quite met.
Good points: the decor is excellent, the service is very good too with helpfil, attentive staff. The friend we ate with has a severe fish... more

Excellent for brunch

We went to Milestone's for a Saturday Brunch at 2:00 in the afternoon. Sit outside on the patio for a great view of Beach Street and the water. The Milestone Eggs Benedict were served with poached eggs, roma tomato, & goat cheese on top of english muffins (the veggie choice) and were absolutely delicious. They have the traditional benedicts w/ham... more

Good place for brunch

Coming to the end of our Canadian holiday. It was Sunday morning and the sun was shining. We found Milestones and went in for brunch. Great view over English beach. It was still warm enough to eat outside. The big breakfast was just right and the pancakes were scrumptious. Coffee was tasty and there was plenty. Staff were friendly.

Robson Location is Better

Milestones is my favorite chain restaurant because of its attentiveness to special dietary needs. Whenever I'm in a place that has a Milestones, I have to go there.
When we're in Vancouver my husband and I usually frequent the Milestones on Robson, and are never disappointed. Being a chain restaurant, we assumed that the English Bay Milestones would offer the... more

Great food and great service

We ate at Milestone's on two occasions and were delighted with the experience both times. Located right on the front with a large patio area, its a great place to see and be seen.
The menu has something for everyone, great quality food. The service was of the highest order which is why we went back the second time. Not... more

Great for quick lunch

Overlooking the ocean, just 100 meters away with wonderful bacony. Friendly and quirky wait staff, very helpful. They expedited my meal for upcoming business. I tried the new chopped salad and it was a quantum leap above the Outback Steakhouse version. Loads of different fresh vegetables with warm tender chicken chunks. Outstanding!

Good food and good service

Enjoyed two nights, sitting outside and people watching. Food good, sliders very good, but the thai chicken drumettes were amazing. heard they were coming off the menu, big mistake. Service very good and informative. Would recommend for some good wine and good food. have fun

Nice food, lovely view

My husband and I went to Milestones for a meal one evening towards the end of our holiday in Vancouver. We ended up there by accident after the Tapas place up the road we had planned to visit was overbooked. It was a quiet night in the restaurant, and we were able to get a table with a good view... more

Great Food

This is a well located restaurant across from English Bay. Make sure you ask for a seat with the view. Food was excellent.

great location...very nice food...it seems like waiting for seating is not as congested since Cactus Club opened across the street...reasonable valet parking next door...overall good experience at this Milestone's

Always Consistent

I have lived in this area for many years. I have been gone for the last 8. Normally I dont like chain restaurants, but Milestones never fails to deliver on all levels. Location, Food standard, service... Its great.

Just a great view w/outside seating, good beer and wine.
The entrees, fish and chicken were very good, fresh cut vegetables sauteed correctly, no steam table tubs. Very nice presentations and reasonable.
We will go back.

Great outdoor dining

We were a party of 5 on the patio. The food was great and the service was super!
It was busy but we didn't feel rushed.

Very friendly, easy-going wait staff who tolerated our table-hopping group of wedding-goers doing next day brunch.

Ordered a pitcher of mango mojitos with no cane syrup, substitute dark rum and shared with at least half a dozen folks.

The crispy quinoa prawns appetizer were very tasty.

The breakfast potatoes were just okay. I had the breakfast wrap which was mostly tortilla and sparse one... more

Above and beyond. Recommended for amazing customer service

We reserved for 14 for a 75th birthday. We were a little disappointed when we arrived to see that although we had a small area all to ourselves..we were seated at 2 separate tables. The manager was brought over and we expressed our confusion. Krirsty indicated it was the only option they had for a party our size. We were... more

Outdoor dining

We met a friend we had not seen in 30 years at this location, the staff was most pleasant as we sat outside on the patio. We shared appetizers, they were plentiful and delicious. The Granville Island Honey Ale beer is to die for, went in to use the washroom and couldn't believe how beautiful the restaurant inside was. Excellent... more

This is the time of the year to come to avoid the crowds. English Bay is a gong show in the summer but relatively quiet in the winter months. The view on a clear winter day isn't as good as in the summer so for the cold times of the year come for the food.

I'll share some of my top picks. The crispy shrimp with chilli sause for dipping is to die for. The roasted garlic caesar salad is good and... more

Milestone on Robson open xmas eve

The service was great, the food was great! We had a lovely evening!
We were surprised to find a restaurant open on Xmas Eve!
We shared the roasted garlic, goat cheese, cranberry appie and flat breads appie. We also shared the seafood pasta. It was delicious and tasty. We shared a ceasar salad which is made just right; we were... more

Excellent 4 course holiday menu at a reasonable price

We just had an excellent 4 course dinner for only $39 per person at Milestones Restaurant. It is a holiday special and was delicious. Wine, a shared appetizer, salad, main course and dessert were all delicious. It is a casual restaurant but the food was very good and the service was wonderful.

What A View

Getting into the restaurant down in Victoria's inner harbour was challenging due to the cast and crutches but WOW it was worth it.Everything was just perfect.The food was excellent although not inexpensive but the service was first class. It was so relaxing to sit outside in the sunshine with the water,flowers,and breeze surrounding us.

Noisy

The noise level was atrocious! We could not carry on a conversation. If management doesn't believe in people talking to one another over dinner, they should go into a different business--like maybe running raves for teens. The food was just okay. Typical chain-restaurant fare with nothing to make it special.

As we begin to move into October, the summer crowds that invade the English bay area are pretty much gone now...Sandwiched between all these other restaurants, the competition in this area is pretty fierce. I don't come here often because I always thought of Milestones overall as "Meh" food but I think in the last few years the quality has generally improved a lot. Last night we had a great... more

Fantastic sea food

The restaurant is situated in Stanley Park and looks like it is out in the wilderness; however, we walked from our hotel to and from the restaurant ... lovely walk near the beach and thru the park itself. Lovely... The food was fantastic (which, of course, added to our enjoyment immensely).

A Terrible Milestone in the History of Food

The food is reliably awful, the prices are too high. You'll pay dearly for a plate of slop and contrived hipster decor. It's a place for 18 year olds, just setting out on their dining journeys, not knowing any better. Have given this place many tries, but stopped going about a year ago, and will never return.

Just average

Have been to Milestone's many times over the years. It has always been a place where my family went for special occasions, in addition to regular outings. It is an icon in Vancouver; an upscale, fairly pricey restaurant. On this recent visit, there were many young children and toddlers, including a baby under a year old, in the restaurant. They... more

Friendly place to eat

Eight of us had dinner together and the food and service were terriific. The location, right on English Bay overlooking the ocean is a real treat. The service was quick and we did not feel rushed to finish or leave. We had our little 2 year old niece with us and the restaurant provided a kids menu and some colouring... more

It's been a few weeks since my experience here and I've honestly tried to let it go, but I can't so it's time to unleash my review onto the Yelp community.

Let me start off by saying our server and seats were great. Nothing to see here folks! No complaints, just friendly staff and outdoor water views. Loved that!

My bone to pick with Milestones is their burger. OMG, this was the worst burger.... more

Great brunch

My husband loves the prime rib hash. It's a must have when at Milestones for brunch! I like the eggs Benedict Milestones. The servers are pleasant and the value good.

I'm surprised the reviews for Milestones here range from terrible to delightful. I've always found this location to be good to great.

Last night I was out with a friend for his birthday and we decided to try Milestores anticipating a long wait as it was about 6 PM on a nice Sunday evening. There was no line up and we were seated at a great table just inside, but practically on the patio right... more

Great choice

Made reservations here because it was close to our hotel and per previous reviewers. Turned out to be an excellent choice. Waiter gave excellent service, food was great. My husband had seafood fettucini and I had portobello mushroom chicken. Both were excellent. Great location, great food, reasonable price. Highly recommend.

slow service but good food

The food at Milestones is always good. WE had a very nice meal and have no complaints about the food. My only complaint was the tremendously slow service. we waited much too long for our main course, and it was frustatingly difficult to catch our server's eye if we needed anything. She never checked back at our table, cleared our... more

Trendy modern restaurant

Milestones is a great place to eat. We had lunch on a recent trip to Vancouver. It is ideally situated in a street with many shops and stores. Eating on the second floor is an escape from the crowds. The food is very good, offering a wide variety to choose from. Nice service.

Same menu different location

Milestones is not my favorite place, the food is a little overpriced and the atmosphere and ambiance are not over the top.
I have been to otehr Milestones and this one is just another in the chain.

I visited this location last week for my 22nd birthday and wanted to commend this restaurant for the particularly amazing service they gave me. It was truly a wonderful experience. They gave my two friends and I a seat with a beautiful view, and there was even a birthday card which I've still kept. The host and waiter (both nice gentlemen) were very attentive and made sure the night went... more

Excellent view and awesome burgers!!!!!!!!

L

Amazing views, incredible menu!

We only had appetizers so far, but will definitely be heading back for more.

The Asian chicken app was probably the best dish I've had in a long time. And you can't beat the location!

Overall, i wouldn't recommend going to this location on Denman Street. Their service was horrible and their food was tasteless! I would have never thought that such a restaurant chain allows their service to deteriorate, especially when you look across the street at their main competitor the Cactus Club which offers great food and excellent service.

I would suggest that you wait in line to eat... more

My brother and I came here for a mid-afternoon lunch before I flew back to the States. It was really crowded for a 2:30-3 PM seating, which probably had something to do with the weather (absolutely gorgeous 75-80 degree weather, not a cloud in the sky) - so everyone wanted to sit outside with a clear view of the bay. After putting our name down on the list for 25 minutes, we went elsewhere for... more

When choosing to go to this particular Milestones, it is all about the views baby! Let's be honest here!

The food like every other Milestones is somewhere in between. We split the risotto balls and sliders, while I ordered the sausage ravioli and my brother ordered the stir fry as our entrees. The service was also pretty reasonable too considering the amount of people who showed up. Sticking... more

Bellinis were amazing. Good food (appetizers), nice menu overall, very friendly and attentive staff.

wow! The food was great, yeah oh k I had the sterotypical woman dinner. Ceasar salad with chicken. BUT my friend had the steak which I tested out and it was AWESOME. The potatoes were tasy. another person had the appy platter. it wasn't very good but it was better then nothing.

Its a beautiful resturant, with a nice view.

We ended up there because the (super rude) hostess at Cactus Club... more

Worst Prime Rib dinner I have ever experienced.

After all my brunch quests (many are horrible), I'm back to Milestones, HURRAYYYYY!!! Traditional breakfast and English bay is the perfect spot for people watching too!! But seriously, I came here many times and they have the best service. Once they "forgot" my shrimps in my shrimp benedict, and the manager came to apologize, and my benedict was on the house. No questions asked, and they serve... more

I'm glad to say that, based on reviews on the DineHere site, we hand-picked, without prior knowledge of Vancouver, the best view in the whole city. Honestly, we stopped here so we could dine outside on the first sunny afternoon since we've been here. My husband had just presented his first workshop and we were celebrating his mental freedom (he's napping now, poor man). We loved it at... more

I'd probably give this place 4 stars for service, but only 2 stars for food. Maybe I came on a bad night, or ordered the wrong thing.

I went here about a week ago and am just now getting around to writing a review, so I'd rather get straight to the point.

I ordered the sausage ravoli. It came out cold. When the waiter came around to ask how our food was, I told him that it was cold and he... more
