\"Milestones<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
A great place to mark life’s Milestones..<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Since my last limerick, its been a long time!
\nSo, it should be much easier to make these things rhyme
\nIt’s a shame that Milestones is so far in the West
\nIts food’s above par, if not quite the best
\nNot to return would be a major crime!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I’m back… Did you miss me? This is the longest furlough that I have taken since starting this blog over 18 months ago now. It’s not that I stopped eating, I just have been otherwise occupied. As we make up for lost time, you will discover that a large part of time, we have been travelling from New York to the UK on to\u00a0France and the Netherlands and finally\u00a0back to Canada.\u00a0Needless to\u00a0say, we sampled the culinary delights of each of these destinations.\u00a0It will take some time to get through the backlog of posts so please bear with us.<\/p>\n

Where we went<\/span><\/span><\/strong>: Living in the East End of Ottawa as we do, it is not too often that we get to sample the offerings of the many eating establishments West of\u00a0 Bronson. On this particular occasion, we were returning from a trip to New York. We did not relish the thought of having to cook a meal after having driven for almost 7 hours and Milestones in the Pinecrest Mall had been on my wishlist for a long time, so we decided to kill two birds with one stone and stopped in. Although reservations are normally recommended, on this Thursday evening, they were clearly not necessary. \u00a0Although not exactly empty, there was plenty of room for a party of two.<\/p>\n

What we ordered<\/span><\/span><\/strong>: It turn out that they had just switched to a new menu. Since the menu changes fairly frequently at this restaurant, you would be well-advised to peruse the menu online<\/a> before venturing there. Although I do not usually begin my meal with a starter, since I have a reasonably small appetite, the rosted beet and watermelon salad caught my eye. To follow, I ordered sirloin steak with fries. Dorothy opted for the prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n
