I passed by during last weekend (June 7, 2026) with my family to try the new seasonal menu. Being Greek, a menu offering of lamb chops always attracts my attention & I knew pretty fast what I was ordering. My son & I, each had an appetizer California salad & it was incredible even though I don't like mixing fruits in my salad but I am a goat cheese lover. It was an incredible salad & I envisioned passing by on a summer evening & having it as a main meal. My wife & mother in law ordered the mushroom soup which is always a classic. My lamb chops were ordered with fries & veggies & they were incredible. My wife kept the original mashed potatoes in her dish & loved them. My son had a rib steak which was very tasty & very reasonable in price. You cannot find a 16 ounce steak in Montreal any more under $60. My mother in law ordered the meal sized California salad. I always have room for dessert & the carrot cake brought me back to my childhood. No wonder the menu calls it OMG Carrot Cake. & a gluten free option for my wife that was not a chocolate brownie? Happy wife, happy life. The gluten free apple cobbler was incredible, regardless of its GF label. Overall a great evening made even greater by the helpfulness, friendliness & bubbliness of our waitress Gloria.
Perfect experience from start to finish. The food was amazing & the service was exceptional. The ribs & chicken combo 💯 Highly recommend! Ask for Vicky... she took care of our birthday party
The food was fantastic. For a busy Saturday night, the food came quickly considering there was a line out the door.
Everything came out hot & delicious. We had the whipped avocado feta dip to begin, followed by the chicken tacos, the smash burger, the chicken alfredo & the rib & shrimp duo. We ended the night with Brazilian coffees & a maple crème brûlée which was fantastic.
Had a great conversation with Antoine, the manager. Our waitress Clara was super helpful & amazing.
Will be returning for our birthdays soon!

First time at Milestones Fairview. Kosta took our order & created a great atmosphere….Fantastic personality, very welcoming with an authentic smile.
Will be coming back. My husband loved the rib steak Kosta recommended, aged & grilled to perfection! I had a tender & juicy Portobello chicken.
You must try the Bam Bam Shrimp appetizer, geez I could eat just them & die a happy man. The California salad appetizer is delicious too with the spicy pecans, Chèvre & Strawberries. So good. The mains are great, we've had the Ribs, steak & salmon tartare
The food was just plain horrible. The steak was chewy. The back ribs were tasteless (not even the sauce could save it) & smelled like they were about to be spoiled. The noodle bowl was way too salty (more than your usual ramen bowl. The appetizers & the drinks were the only good things about their menu.
My mother always said, If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing...well seeing that it was my wife's birthday, I digressed but now that it's the following day, well.... This is one of these restaurants that takes their clientele for granted. My chicken breast was more of a scallopini than a breast (5mm thick at most), & tough. The shrimps were also small & tough, like they were both previously cooked & reheated in a microwave ... super obvious. The ribs were juicy, hot & tender ... very good. My wife's asked for medium well sirloin but got medium rare. Her vegetables were cold & underdone; also preheated. Her calamari was'meh'. My son's onion soup was hot & cheesy; he was happy with it. He also enjoyed the short rib but was small. The recommended Baco wine was also'meh' at $68 a bottle. The bill being $312, the owner practices shrinkflation & hires cooks not chefs; that too is obvious. There will not be a next time that's for sure. I wished I took pictures to post. At that price, you realize real quick that you can have an excellent 1.5' thick top sirloin from Costco with crab legs & $100 bottle of wine & still have leftovers for another meal. It's all perspective. You see again & again being taken for granted with substandard food & portions. Might as well stay home.
I had a very enjoyable dinner here with my family. The staff was excellent, & the food was delicious. I ordered the trio ribs, which included half a rack of pork ribs, a chicken breast, & three grilled large shrimp, all served with fries & coleslaw. Yeah, I got completely stuffed & couldn't even finish everything! It was really great, & the prices weren't bad at all. You definitely should give it a try. We made reservations just FYI
