Stopped in here one night, at 830pm (they close at 9pm), but they had no problem taking us. Obviously because of the timing we were looked after promptly.Having been to another location we knew that the gravy had the possibility of being salty, so they were very accommodating and brought out a sample with a few fries. We did find it a bit salty so we passed on that. I had the 3 bone dinner with just fries and the cornbread. Although the ribs were good, they didn't "fall off the bone". The fries on the other hand were really good. My friend had the burger with all the sides that come with it. She also enjoyed her food and she left nothing behind, just to prove it. Both ladies that looked after us were quick (probably because they were closing) to look after us, but we never felt rushed to get out of there. When we were leaving there were a few other tables just finishing as well. If I go back, I think I would pass on the ribs, and would go with the wings.

We were very unhappy to start with as we waited for 1 hour before the waiter came to us. We had to go on bar to order our drinks. Had to go to front counter to pick up menu cards. Had to go to bar for more drinks. There were no place setting even when the salad came. The waiter never surved us the cheese cake we ordered. We had to call to the manager from car as there was no waiter to serve us. Very bad experience after 50+ times been to Milestone's.Hello, we apologize there were issues with service during your recent visit and would like to get to the bottom of this.

Very impressed with a first visit to Inspire. Thoughtful details distinguished each dish we sampled - variety of flavours, textures, cooking styles. Everything was enjoyable, satisfying and often surprising. Started with a California Nachos with taro chips, ahi, avocado, pickled onion, jalapeños and spicy mayo, which was excellent. Hanoi Greens salad was enlivened by pomegranate, radish, beats and more chilies.Our three entrees were all delicious. A playful Udon Carbonara with spicy sausage instead of bacon, and served with a raw quail egg. Thai meatballs with coconut, which were succulent and pricked with spicy heat. The Moco Loco, with both a dutiful observance of traditional Hawaiian composition - a housemade medium rare burger served on rice, but it was taken a notch higher with Shiitake Demi glaze, crispy onion strings and sautéed shrimp. (Unfortunately, the must have fried egg atop the gorgeous plate, was quite over cooked which took away from the unctuous blend of gravy and runny yolk...)Service was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable.Definitely planning a return visit. Lots of similarly adventurous items we were tempted to try!

On a recommendation my husband and I visited Lemon Bistro for dinner recently. Loved the decor, very warm, cozy and lots to look at. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable. Always a smile on her face.We sat next to the open kitchen so we basically got dinner and a show. Watching the chefs prepare the meals going out was entertaining!Our food was fantastic. Presentation was good, seasoning was perfect and everything we ordered tasted amazing.We will definitely be back!

I went there after picking someone up from the airport. The service was a little bit lazy and the food was average, if you have a child the dessert is a volcano, thatâs pretty much the only thing that was good . I will maybe go back again Good Day Cocochloe18, Sorry to hear about your experience while dining with us.

I took my wife there for her birthday! We had a traditional victorian tea. The waiter bent over backwards to give exemplary service. We had a variety of sandwiches. We had scones with real clotted cream along with empire cakes, scottish shortbread and fern cakes. There is a huge selection and variety of teas available. Also there are a variety of homemade traditional english hot meals available. Please do yourself a favor and go there!!

Food was good. Service was good. Went on half price wine bottle night. Big Bonus. All good, nothing spectacular. I can't quite put my finger on what I didnt particularly enjoy. The only thing that comes to mind is that it feels too much like a chain restaurant. M.aktosp, Thank you for your feedback. We strive to provide the best service. We'll be taking your experience into consideration as we work to improve. Thank you.Jenna WeltonGeneral Manager

Very good burgers, fresh ingredients and very good service. Nice location where you would least expect it. Did find a lot of entree prices very expensive. Its burgers mac n cheese and pizza. $30 is not an appropriate price for these items. Dont care if it's the best ever. Maybe in a high rent district downturn but not in a sleep strip plaza in Markham.Hi John, Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your overall experience with us. We appreciate your feedback and will continue to discuss with our team. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

Service is excellent. Reservations are honored. Both the 12oz New York Classic and the 7oz Filet Classic were done to perfection. Juicy, tasty, and nicely presented. We always ask for the Baked Potato trimmings on the side so that we can add as much as we want (and need). Definitely worth a return visit.

Just returned home after a delicious lunch at the School, with my wife and another couple, and wanted to share this experience while it is still fresh in my mind. First, the service from the maitre d' to the servers was very professional and friendly. The waiter did not rush us and we had plenty of time to peruse their extensive menu, while munching on soft warm buns, which they replenished for us. The French onion soup was delicious, while the others had the soup of the day, a squash chowder, all piping hot straight from the kitchen. My wife and I had the lobster bun, which was filled with chopped lobster meat that ran out of the bun when you bit into it., our friends had the cob saland and the sirloin tip with pasta, both large portions (even for lunch). I had a draft Innis and Gunn, Scottish craft beer, and it was very drinkable, while my friend had a glass of white wine. The entrees were all good, and my wife and our other friend both had "doggie bags", because they could not finish.The ambience is just great. It has been many years since our last visit to the school, and plan to come back a lot sooner. It is not inexpensive, but if you are having a special occasion, that you want to be memorable, this is definitely the place to visit.
