We decided to take mother deer out to Milestones for her birthday. Lil’ bun had never been to a bar style restaurant before so she found the entire experience at Milestones to be quite amusing.
We a couple of Bellinis right when we got seated at Milestones. However to our dismay, they were not very good at all! They merely tasted like a peach slushy and sugar. Blech! Definitely disappointed with this.
To start, we got the coconut calamari. It was unlike any calamari we have tried before because it was so lightly battered. They used the body of the squid for it and the meat remained “bouncy” in texture, meaning it was perfectly cooked.
Next, the goat cheese platter came with 5 slices of toast to put the toppings on. It came with arugula, fig jam, roasted bell pepper and garlic as well. This was the best appetizer of the evening.
To add some more veggies, we got the California spring salad. It was mixed salad greens topped with candied pecans, strawberries, goatcheese and a honey mustard dressing. I thought it was a pretty big salad for an “appetizer size” but I’m not complaining!
Our last appetizer was the spinach artichoke dip. It came with lots of chips (plus some extra on the side because our server brought us some more). The dip was super cheesy and perfect for any boomerangs you plan on creating at the moment.
I decided to get the Mediterranean chicken for my entree. The chicken was a little on the dry side since it was grilled chicken breast but that wasn’t too unexpected. I liked how they fried the kale and basil so they were chip-like in texture. The roasted cherry tomatoes helped add a pop of brightness to the dish.
Mother deer got the cajun shrimp creole because she had never tried this type of cuisine before. She said that it was spicier than she expected but it was a nice and comforting dish to have on a chilly day.
Brother deer got the steak frites. He said that the steak was more medium than medium rare but the gravy helped give it some more moisture. He said that the fries were twice fried so they weren’t soggy and the crispy onions on the side were a nice touch.
Pesto chicken penne asiago was lil’ bun’s pick. She loves her pasta and cheese so she had high expectations for this one. Lucky for her, it was super cheesy and so filling that she could only finish half of it! She said that it was a little bit spicy but nothing she couldn’t get over because it was too good to stop eating!
