    Original Bellini

    Annie was our server. Very cute and friendly young lady. Her service was perfect. My wife started with the Thursday special Original Bellini (peach). Their Lager on tap was a solid choice for me. Enjoyed their burger which was certainly Angus beef. Get the Parmesan garlic fries!

    SMASHED BLACK N' BLUE BURGER

    Convenient, comfort food, great views, and friendly service. This is an ideal pit stop after a day of walking around the harbor. The large windows of this restaurant provides excellent views of the harbor, The Fairmont Empress, and even Parliament Building. Decided to try Milestones for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by the overall experience. Service was phenomenal. The hostess and server was very friendly and personable. The hostess ensure we had a nice table with a view of the harbor and our server was on point and consistently checked in. The menu had a decent range of selections. I started with a Tokyo Negroni which was a delicious mix of Toki whisky, Campari, Cointreau, sweet vermouth, orange bitters. For entree, I opted for the Smashed Black N' Blue Burger with side of garlic parmesan fries. The burger patties were smaller than the burger, however they were juicy and cooked perfectly. The garlic parmesan fries were delicious and crispy. Also served generously. I would absolutely come back to try their seafood items.

    Looking for a spot to rest and eat while touring the Inner Harbor of Victoria? Try Milestones. Get a booth next to the window for great views of the Empress Hotel, the Legislative Building, and the busy water taxis buzzing about the harbor. I recommend the Baja fish tacos. The basa fish is a "creamy" white fish that goes well with the aioli, avocado, and tomato. The sweet potato fries are done right, crispy and not too crispy and well-seasoned. Other dishes that my party enjoyed: sirloin steak (rated VERY good) and the portobello mushroom chicken. The sushi bowl with ahi tuna was so-so. The rice in particular is not quite the right consistency for a sushi dish. The ever hard to find double chocolate cookie also makes an appearance here. While I could do without the white chocolate chunks, this chocolate delight still worked for me. The kids of course absolutely loved and devoured it.

    Drinks and artichoke dip & roasted cauliflower to start

    We tried this restaurant on a mini vacation to Victoria. Nice atmosphere, beautiful views of the water and a nice menu We tried drinks and shared plates and loved it all.

    Comfortable, convenient meals, breathtaking views, and kind service. After a day of exploring the port on foot, this is a great place to stop. This restaurant's huge windows offer fantastic views of the Parliament Building, the Fairmont Empress, and the waterfront. I chose to have lunch at Milestones and was pleasantly delighted by the whole experience. The level of service was outstanding. The server and hostess were nice and approachable. Our waitress was punctual and regularly checked in, and the hostess made sure we had a lovely table overlooking the port. There was a good variety of options on the menu. I began with a Tokyo Negroni, a delectable concoction of sweet vermouth, orange bitters, Campari, Toki whiskey, and Cointreau. I chose the Smashed Black N' Blue Burger for my meal, along with a side order of garlic parmesan fries. Although the burger patties were smaller than the actual burger, they were nonetheless well cooked and juicy. Crispy and tasty were the garlic parmesan fries. abundantly served as well. Without a doubt, I would return to sample their fish offerings.

    Love this spot on the waterfront in downtown Victoria. It's the perfect location, especially if you arrive by ferry or float plane to the harbor--just walk right over! There's a finer dining restaurant space upstairs and downstairs, plus a beautiful outdoor patio just feet from the water with a super fun vibe, especially in the summer. The food is exceptional--it really never fails. It serves as comfort food that's better than anything you could ever make at home with a fine dining fusion twist. You must try a Bellini if you haven't before--they're the best and so refreshing in the summer. I had the pulled pork bao buns, and they were delicious. They also do wonderful pastas, and the seafood is one of my favorites. They have the best fries, Caesar salads, and all the classics. Truly one of the best milestones locations!

    So the patio view is amazing! The service was decent, it wasnt amazing but I feel we were being a bit high stress so I kind of understand. The deep fried cauliflower was alright, my mussels were alright over all. I mean the sauce was great I will say that. The salmon was really good and the wine selection is top notch! Probably worth a visit but not cheap bring your wallet.

    This gets a 5+! Server Makena was so helpful, guiding us to the perfect options to share. Coconut Calamari was delicious to start. Squeeze that lime juice all over! Fresh grilled Salmon, couscous and seasonal veggies hit the mark, followed by key lime pie. Gazed at the Victoria harbor through the late afternoon haze and enjoyed the waterfront views.

    Wandering around the beautiful inner harbor of Victoria BC, we came upon Milestones. What a gorgeous setting overlooking the water and right up against Government Street. The dining room is wonderfully appointed and the menu feels sturdy and refined. Yes, I'm recognizing the menu and how it feels in the hands as it's reflective of the restaurant itself. Friendly staff and wonderful meal! I had the chicken and recommend it. Extra bonus for the Old Fashioned but not needed for 5 stars! Good job Canada. I'd like to return one day.

    sweet spicy bloody merry
    Christina C.

    Had a great experience at this location. Even tho it was mothers day and we didn't had reservation they were able to give us a table. We got a nice table with harbor view. My favorite was bloody merry with pineapple, shrimp, mozzarella and kabanos. We had a quick lunch while exploring city during our cruise stop at Victoria. Lovely island with lovely parks and scenery. I took mushroom soup which was too bland for me but spinach artichoke dip and my husbands tacos were excellent. Price was very good as well. Service was very quick.

We were passing by and decided to take a break before getting back on our bikes. Little June is a charming coffee shop serving breakfast, brunch, and pastries/baked goods. Fernwood coffee is also available here. We ordered an iced latte and an iced London fog. My particular favourite was the iced latte. I believe they utilize Earl Grey powder for their London fog, and I was pleasantly pleased by how wonderful it tasted. It was unusual because I was not used to the powder but rather the tea bags. The host at the cashier was really kind and provided wonderful service. They have tons of seatings. I loved how open and airy the space was! I'll have to try their brunch the next time I visit. I highly recommend this cute little spot!

An absolute must, served warm with a fragrant and flavourful olive oil. The olives are so simple yet the chef adds a ton of behind the scenes flavours (think, marinating in a bunch of complimentary flavours). I ordered the vegan and GF dal one night! Huge portions with fresh shaved vegetables and a generous serving of lentils. A hearty and comforting meal that packs a ton for protein. I was utterly stuffed for hours after this meal. Next night, I ordered the vegan and GF pizza (no fake cheese, just a ton of partnered vegetables, herbs, and pine nuts). I loved this dish. Again, huge servings and a ton of delicate touches. The roasted squash added such a lovely texture and the dill and pine nuts were an excellent choice. We also got the salad, which was anything but basic. Pine nuts and herbs and a sweet, savoury dressing. It was all super excellent. Thank you for making our island experience truly remarkable!
