Find this place last night on Yelp. After walking in the rain for a bit we finally found it, it's says it's on Sussex Drive but the real entrance is on Mackenzie.

The food was awesome, got the Asian chicken bites for a app and has the Krispy chicken sandwich with some fries and it was so good, I would definitely come back and try them for their brunch too :)

Love miles stones! The foods good and so are the drinks! Beliinis are 4.50 on Tuesday's and they're sooo good!! Only thing is if you want a good table, you should make a reservation, because they are always busy.

The food is fine but the best is the service. You are always well served at this restaurant. Only once the service was slow and they apologized for it and even gave us free entree. The staffer are very kind.

Best deserts ever!. The cookie ice cream is amazing especially when you crush u extra of their homemade double chocolate cookies into it. The steak with shrimp was a good portion and the service was very good.

Pricey, but worth it. We stopped by for a late supper and had a great meal, though unsurprisingly (given the location) it wasn't cheap. The cocktails were excellent, and we had probably the best service of our Ottawa trip so far.

Been many a time. Milestones is convenient, especially if you are planning on a visit to the NAC. Le Cafe can be filled, generally rather pricey, and unless you like pub food, there really isn't much closer to the NAC. The food however varies in quality. Some visits the food has been excellent. Other times, like last night, the Mediterranean chicken was loaded with salt to an extent that the goat cheese, and other ingredients were over powered. While pointing this out to the waiter does get the usual "I talked with the chef and with the manager", what can they really do? Reservations are timed with a show, and starting anew is going to make for some finely cut scheduling. So, essentially suck it up, they won't do anything else. This was sad as my wife has raved about this dish in the past. I, on the other hand, have a love for prime rib. Another dish which can be excellent upon occasion, or not. The excellent were truly well done, value for money experiences. Those not were loaded with fat, which chopping out once left about half of the piece. Last night, salt seemed to be a theme there too. The potatoes that come with it, don't worry, the Asian Chicken Bites are always excellent, and having that as an appetiser won't fill you as you won't be having the mashed potatoes (now with the fancy stringy fried onion on top to try and lend it some respectability). It is unfortunate that the inconsistency in the flavour varies so much. Another example. Baby bok choy. One time nicely steamed whole, another limp, almost floating in grease and chopped (and not forgetting the excessive salt). Why? Salt is not a substitute for flavour or a challenged chef on a particular night. We will return, and probably update this entry.

I am in LOVE with the gluten-free burger....the only downside is that none of their appetizers are g-free (unless you want salad)...service is mediocre, Last visit we waited 20 minutes before a server even acknowledged that we were there...definitely needs some improvement, but won't stop me from returning.

Date Night.. The wait time was to be 150 mins. We waited. I never wait. 90 mins later, we were up. There server appetizers and sample drinks while you waited. Buy one, get the other of equal value free. Can not go wrong. But they Did. Well done steak came half done and half rare. A huge hump in the middle. The manager gave a lame excuse but did not hesitate to pick up the bill. I would recommend this place.

Solid. Very attentive and knowledgable staff. Seafood pasta and sliders were very good. Slider buns very fresh. Our whole party (work dinner) enjoyed the evening and would return.

Always a good choice. This place has never disappointed me. The food is great and the ambiance in the bar area is unmatched. You get that mix between modern/chic and there's no classier way to watch a Sens game.

Good for a nice meal downtown. I go to this location all the time. Most of the time the servers are very friendly and accommodating but sometimes large parties will make reservations and they'll be pressed to get you out of there sooner. On the bright side you can always count on fairly speedy service. Their Grilled Penne Asiago is my favourite and the Portebello mushroom chicken is a close second. Their pesto fettuccini also isn't bad and they're bocconcini garlic bread is okay except the olive tapenade on top is far too strong. Off the dessert menu their White chocolate cheesecake is to die for! The only thing I didn't enjoy during one visit was the virgin strawberry daiquiri I requested. It was so bitter that I had to put several packets of sugar in it and even after that it wasn't that good. All in all it's still a good location and I'll definitely be back.

Epic service. Been here twice both times different servers both times epic service. They go beyond what they are expect to do and explain how to order wines ( about the first time I order wine at a restaurant ) very good food. Not to expensive expect to pay 100$ for two people with 3 course meal and some wine. Great food not big sizes and not too small sizes.

Outstanding Service. We attended Milestones with a group of 12 adults and one child and a baby. They were very accomodating for our large group at short notice (reservation made that afternoon). The drinks and meals were all served in a timely fashion. Everything was hot and delicious. The waitress and managers were helpful, friendly and professional. All of us will return in the future.

Good experience. Went to Byward Market Milestones for coworker's birthday; everything was great, from friendly, attentive and smiling service, to great cocktails and tasty food. The birthday girl got a little surprise cake. The price was right, overall - a nice experience, would definitely go back.

Seriously, the sliders made my stomach so happy, it gave my large intestine a bj. Despite the visual, this remains a positive review.

Good tasty food. Consistent whether in Ottawa or Toronto. Benelli's a favorite staple drink. Unfortunately service was slow even with the light crowd. Pasta was very good. Will definitely come back.

Very nice atmosphere - we were there Sunday afternoon, having met up with family from out of town. Service was excellent, kudos to the server who made sure all allergies were taken into consideration, and made sure everything was right. Good food, good wine, and a good time was had by all.

We went to Milestones in Ottawa's ByWard Market.  It was in a wonderful location, next to the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa Ontario.  It was filled with families that had just finished skating on the Rideau Canal and had to literally undress all their winter attire to get ready to eat in this restaurant. The hostesses were very patient with the families. It was a very welcoming environment on a cold Sunday evening during Winterlude. It is located in the heart of Ottawa in the shadow of the Chateau Laurier Hotel and has some nice architectural features.  It has a nice outdoor patio in the summer. My son Mark and I decided to begin with appetizers.  He had the mushroom soup which was outstanding and generous. We shared two portions of phyllo shrimp - we always choose these when we are in any Milestones.  They are mouth watering and served with Thai chili sauce for dipping.

Saturday for Lunch, with a gift card melting my pocket begging to be used and my wife and I in downtown Ottawa, we visited Milestones ( 700 Sussex Drive, Ottawa ).   Milestones is owned and franchised by the Cara group of companies who also own and franchise: Harvey's , Swiss Chalet , Kelsey's and Montana's . Each banner name (i.e. restaurant name) has a different flavour for the dining pleasure.  Harvey's is the traditional burger place that competes with McDonald's , Burger King and others.  Swiss Chalet is the family rotisserie chicken place competing in the Quebec and Ottawa area with Scores . Kelsey's bills itself as "Your Neighbourhood Bar & Grill" which also typically has more family friendly pricing in a place that pretends to be a bar/pub but really isn't.  Montana's is supposedly a cookhouse that specializes in serving up grilled meats of whatever flavour you wish.  Milestones' dim lighting for the evening with supposedly higher end culinary chef inspired food attempt to make

Had a wonderful Canada Day lunch at Milestones on their patio! I called ahead to ask if they were taking walk-ins and they were. We had the Buffalo Cauliflower bites and Coconut Calamari for starters. Their take on buffalo cauliflower is different compared to other places. Both tasted good though. The drinks were amazing too! For mains we had the Surfside salad which was huge with generous portions of salmon and shrimp. The Tacos were good too. Sweet chilli chicken rice and the Thai Basil Noodles were amazing! All in all a good meal to mark the day :)

Our second visit here and this was a beautiful one. The waitress was wonderful. She was friendly and suggestive. It was a beautiful evening and she just made our day even better. The portion of the calamari has been reduced I think since 2019 our last visit. There were barely any. We ordered two kinds of noodles/pasta dish and asked for extra spicy and both were mind blowing. Mine was a mix seafood and hubby's was shrimp noodles. Loved every bite of it. Quantity and quality was perfect!!

Save your calories and get the steak and seafood dish (lobster meat and shrimps) with a lobster based cream sauce. Heavenly mashed potatoes, good portion of veg, just the perfect portion for hungry diner at lunch. Excellent service.

Very nice restaurant close to the Rideau canal, Parliament, major hotels, the Rideau shopping center and the Byward market. We were a group of 7, plenty of room and great atmosphere. The food was really good and the service was great.

It was a good expérience in general, but the meat was a bit too cooked. Salmon was too dry (classic of restaurant not specialized in fish), and ribs were a bit burnt on the outside. Both of these could be to the taste of some, but not ours. Service, ambiance, etc was very good.

I had the surf side salad and it was so good and filling and the fish and shrimp were cooked perfectly. I had the French 75 cocktail and it was delicious. For dessert I had an espresso martini and a white chocolate cheesecake and both were perfectly paired and great. The service was fast and friendly. Would definitely go back.
