Milestones Menu With Prices In Canada

Almost nothing at Milestones is priced with a 99 on the end. The kitchen menu is written in whole and half dollars — a 1989 Burger is $23.00, a Chicken Parmesan $28.00, a Grilled Sirloin $33.00 — and the only .99 on the board belongs to a bottle of Dasani.

That rounding makes the tiers easy to read. Brunch starts at $15.00 for the "M" Classic Breakfast, meat or vegetarian, and tops out at $20.00 for the California Benedict and Chicken n' Waffles. Starters run $10.00 for Roasted Mushroom Soup to $23.00 for the Burrata. Mains sit between $25.00 for the Stuffed Portobello Mushroom Cap and $33.50 for the Dill Blanc Salmon.

Steaks are the outliers in both directions: $33.00 for a 7 oz Grilled Sirloin, $47.00 for a 7 oz Grilled Filet, and $55.00 for a 16 oz Grilled Bone In Rib Steak — the most expensive plate Milestones lists. The ribs section prices by what you add: a full rack is $36.00, half a rack with chicken is $32.00, with shrimp $33.00, and the trio with both is $40.00.

Why so little comes in under $10

Of 89 items, only 17 land under $10 and just 11 under $5, which is unusual for a menu this size. The reason is that the cheap tail most restaurants get from sides and soft drinks barely exists here. Sides are priced as real additions — Grilled Salmon or Shrimp $11.00, Sweet Potato Fries $10.00, Golden Fries $8.00, Grilled Chicken Breast and Sautéed Mushrooms $7.00 each — with only Mashed Garlic Potatoes and Avocado at $2.50 and Beef Gravy at $2.00 down in single figures.

The Beverages section then pulls the average the other way. It is mostly a wine and beer list: a Sumac Ridge Sauvignon Blanc at $17.00, a Merlot at $26.00, Folonari Pinot Grigio $30.00, Mionetto 'Treviso' $31.00, Ravenswood Zinfandel $33.00, Tom Gore Cabernet $37.00 and a Dirty Laundry rosé at $38.00, plus six-packs from $25.00 to $32.00. The Milestones Original Bellini is $12.00. Bottled soft drinks are $3.25 across the board.

The kids' menu is where the value sits — $9.00 for creamy pasta, tomato pasta or grilled cheese, $11.00 for grilled chicken, $12.00 for a mini burger or chicken fingers, $15.00 for salmon and $16.00 for a 5 oz grilled sirloin. Both desserts are $10.50.

Do prices vary across Canada?

Milestones prices differ between provinces and between downtown and suburban dining rooms, and the wine and beer list in particular moves with provincial liquor pricing, so those figures travel least well. Featured and seasonal dishes rotate. Nothing here includes tax or the gratuity you would add on a full-service bill.
