Milestones Restaurants

3051 Vega Blvd Mississauga ON 905. 828.9119

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - it's ok. lots going on, but it's ok. dark.

2) Service - pretty good. not the fastest.


3) Portions - great

4) Taste - pleasantly surprised. I don't know why I have always had a thing against Milestones, for no particular reason. I typically do not like to frequent chains...I just don't. You get standard food, standard service. But I have been pleasantly surprised. They have good lunch specials, and their dinners are also quite good!

5) Price - reasonable

De La Crepe

236 Queen St South   Streetsville  ON   905. 542.0022

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - small, long, narrow, but nice and clean. You just walk in off the street.

2) Service - very friendly. You order at the cash and they wrap your crepe so you can take it to go, or just sit and eat in the establishment

3) Portions - good, typical for a crepe

4) Taste - good. Ordered the Strawberry and chocolate crepe. Although I was looking forward to a huge plate with heaps of strawberries and warm chocolate sauce drizzled on top, it was more like a wrap - something I could have made at home.

5) Price - inexpensive, $5-$6 for a crepe. They have breakfast crepes and other 'food' crepes there as well, not just fruit. =)

5) Price - good

Ki

181 Bay Street Toronto ON 416.308.5888

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - pretty sleek. Nice booths in the lounge. Fabulous sushi bar. Cool little private rooms. Not very comfortable chairs in dining room though. A little cheesy on the chandelier over the bar in the lounge...

2) Service - OK

3) Portions - OK

4) Taste - interesting and unique types of sushi - well worth trying, and pretty exciting. But it's not the kind of sushi you can just keep eating and eating. I'm not in a rush to go back.

5) Price - well above average, especially for sushi.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - Red, comfortable, relaxed.

2) Service - slow.

3) Portions - OK.

4) Taste - glad that we finally went, but not going to rush back there.

5) Price - kind of expensive.

One Restaurant

116 Yorkville Avenue Toronto ON 416. 961.9600

A M A L says do NOT devour this food

1) Appearance - pretty much drop-dead-gorgeous. No exaggeration. Designed by one of Toronto's top Interior Design firms, Yabu Pushelberg. Just gorgeous. What can I say? Classy, simple, sleek, elegant, not over done. Luxurious. Just gorgeous.

2) Service - I am sure the servers are knowledgeable, they are all a bit older than your average servers. But they seemed to rush us...'just eat and get out'. I have had some conversations with management about the restaurant, the design, etc, and they are absolutely professional and friendly.

3) Portions - ok.

4) Taste - it breaks my heart to say this, but could definately be so much better. I have been there on 3 occasions: once for breakfast, once for lunch, and once for dinner. I would not order the eggs benedict, or the pancakes. Lunch was ok...I would order the fries again. And I Had a soup which was ok. Dinner...expensive, and just OK. Butternut Squash Gnocchi is ok, a little heavy...would not order it again. Why is this so???

5) Price - expensive.

C H R I S says do NOT devour this food

1) Appearance - 'Jay-Z in da house!' - Very high-end. Felt unwelcomed in my jeans and converse shoes. But seriously we were walking around Yorkville around bruch time in the middle of the week! Did I need to get dressed up? I found it a bit intimidating. Perhaps if I were in a suit I would like it better?

2) Service - not as fabulous as it should be. Yes, I used the word 'fabulous'. I am comfortable with my sexuality.

3) Portions - OK

4) Taste - Not good. No one in our party wanted to finish their meals.

5) Price - not cheap.

**Overall, dissappointed. But maybe you have to be a celebrity to be treated well? Or a regular$?

Sassafraz

100 Cumberland St Toronto ON 416. 964.2222

A M A L says do NOT devour this food

1) Appearance - pretty sleek, all white, trendy, cool bathrooms, uncomfortable little deuce tables in the middle, though.

2) Service - ok

3) Portions - ridiculous (not good)

4) Taste - Chris and I have been a few times, each time hoping would be better. We have been reluctant to give a bad review on this place, since it has such a great reputation, and since we have only been there for drinks and appetizers either on our way to someplace else, or returning from someplace else. But I believe that it is all hype. Do not order their cold, greasy tempura. Do not order their teeny tiny little McDonalds fries. Do not order their scallops. Do I need to go on?
I will say this, however. Their badass Mojito is pretty badass. I would only order that.

5) Price - We don't mind spending on fine food, fine drinks, dining out - after all, we are young & beautiful ;) and have disposable income. However, I found this place to be ridiculously over priced, and definately will not go back (except for their badass mojito, if i HAD to).

C H R I S says do NOT devour this food!

1) Appearance - fancy

2) Service - not that great.

3) Portions - horribly small. not good for sharing appetizers.

4) Taste - tempura - NO THANKS!

5) Price - too much for too little.

Burger King

243 Yonge Street Toronto ON

A M A L says do NOT devour this food!

1) Appearance - This is how I would envision purgatory to look like. We never thought of critiquing Burger King, but the appearance was so, so, so bad, we just had to. Everything was gray, the fluorescent lights were flickering, and acoustic ceiling tile was stained and warped, the garbages were over flowing, the people were over flowing, the air was stale...I felt like we were trapped in some horrid time warp...like we were frozen in time someplace ugly and dirty!!!

2) Service - fast food. They take your order, then move on.

3) Portions - ...? I don't know. Fine, I guess.

4) Taste - I will admit, I kind of like their poutine...once a year.

5) Price - average for fast food I guess?

C H R I S says do NOT devour this food!

1) Appearance - ....am I in hell? scary, scary, and scary!

2) Service - fine. Everything seems fine, but just doesn't look fine!

3) Portions - fine.

4) Taste - gross, groos, and gross!

5) Price - save your money.

Denny's

40 Courtney Park Drive E Mississauga ON 905.565.6161

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - very american-chain like. standard booths, tables, chair, carpet. Ugly acoustic ceiling tiles. blah flooring. BUT their tables and booths are very spacious, which is great. The good thing about places like these, is that you don't really go there for the appearance. And overall, its not THAT bad.

2) Service - questionable...

3) Portions - large

4) Taste - I greatly enjoy their hashbrowns with eggs. Very good. I would say above average for sure!

5) Price - $10/person, roughly.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - "...hey Rosanne, get the kids, we're goin' out!" ...no but seriously, I guess it's fine after a night of drinking...

2) Service - Not good. But then again, it's open 24/7 and they are probably used to shitty clientele (drunk and such).

3) Portions - good,

4) Taste - not bad,

5) Price - decent.

Cantina Mexicana

277 Queen St South Mississauga ON 905.813.1992

Rosewood Bistro & Wine Bar

1900 Dundas St W. Mississauga ON 905.855.3913

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - very nice and quaint. You park at the back of the restaurant and walk through a terrace area and the patio to enter. Very cute. The restaurant is distinctly divided from the bar. The restaurant is very cozy, welcoming and unintimidating, although it is a nicer-than-average restaurant. They have painted interesting murals on the wall, play beautiful soft jazz, and the deep, dark wood of the bar area is very inviting. They also benefit fromt the pitched roof, which add an old-world charm to the restaurant.

2) Service - excellent. They have charming servers.

3) Portions - quite large.

4) Taste - very good. Ordered the steak & frites for lunch - the steak was not very tender, I could not really eat through the whole thing. But I would definately go back.

5) Price - a little above average, but not too pricey, and definately worth it.

C H R I S says DEVOUR THIS FOOD!

1) Appearance - kind of high-endish.

2) Service - top notch.

3) Portions - good.

4) Taste - good, but not the greatest.

5) Price - a bit high, but good for a nice treat! Great ambiance more than anything.

Swiss Chalet

6430 Erin Mills Parkway. Mississauga ON 905.858.5849

A M A L says DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - I like their bar-area. In the day it is nice and bright. Their floor tiles are also nicer, offer more friction than in the main dining area. This is a chain restaurant which I love and adore. Mostly booths, some tables. Accomodate for any number of people.

2) Service - great and fast

3) Portions - large, very filling

4) Taste - I can drink the chalet sauce on its own, every day, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The fries are also delightful. And of course their chicken is always juicy and fabulous! (this being said, I always order the white meat...I have had a few experiences with their dark meat which was not so favorable).

5) Price - Can't beat it! Pretty much almost the same price for a McDonalds meal but it's sooo much better! Approx. $10/person

C H R I S says do NOT devour this food!

1) Appearance - um, fine if you like Swiss Chalet.

2) Service - fine for Swiss Chalet

3) Portions - not bad if you like Swiss Chalet

4) Taste - Tastes like Swiss Chalet

5) Price - Decent for Swiss Chalet

*NOTE: I only go here because Amal loves it.
