Milestone's

Casually elegant and trendy, Milestone's appeals to folks who enjoy their comfort food on the "slightly adventurous" side. Although it's part of a small chain, the restaurant successfully avoids the cookie-cutter approach to atmosphere and decor, so each location has its own personality. The menu includes traditional favorites as well as more modern interpretations of classics. Start with spinach-artichoke dip or popcorn shrimp, or sample a steamy bowl of corn and potato chowder. Mains include everything from grilled steaks and seafood to Asian-style noodle bowls and smoked baby back ribs with cranberry corn relish. There's also a solid wine list and a bevy of tasty choices for vegetarians, carb-avoiders and other health-conscious types.
