Milestone 229

We went here for my friend’s birthday. She and I split the NY Strip steak dinner. It was perfect. The steak was served medium rare, and they split the meal for us. It was served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. We shared burrata for the table. My husband had sous-vide chicken with gnocchi, and roasted mushrooms. And my friend’s husband had the Salmon Nicoise that he loved!!! We loved Milestone 229, and it’s been a long time since we have visited. But now that we moved to Columbus, we will be back! Our server, Casey, was very attentive and checked on us often. The only thing was, she forgot to bring us extra bread for the burrata. But everything else was perfect!

I was attending a nearby summit, and decided to stop by with a friend during our lunch break. The ambiance was refreshingly open and bright. Staff was friendly and attentive from start to end. I opted for the Lemon Chicken Pasta and it was really good. The shredded chicken was tender, the pasta was well cooked and the punchy feta and artichoke pieces were a bright point. I did grab the S&P shaker a few times, as the sauce needed it for me. But, otherwise was very enjoyable.

Food was flavorful and unique. Service was professional and friendly. Would definitely return! We had a gluten-free member of our party, and the chef was able to amend the Shrimp Taco appetizer. We got it grilled instead of fried, and it was out of this world. The aïoli was creamy and delicious, the cucumber relish was refreshing, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. We also got the Spiced Cauliflower. Flavorful and well balanced, the curry was creamy with just a hint of heat. The cauliflower was crunchy, and the rice was smothered in curry sauce — such a yummy combo. Our server was Andre, who was a delight. He was friendly and full of laughter, and he made right what the kitchen got wrong at one point, and they did not charge us for the mistake. The portion sizes were generous. We happily ate just the fish tacos and curry cauliflower for the two of us. And it was plenty of food. We ate outside and were hoping to get a view of the river, but it was more like a view of the bridge and the street. Also, one of the reasons we ate outside is because the inside of the restaurant had a slight dirty, dishwater smell. I’m not sure if that happens a lot or if this night was a fluke. Overall, the food was so good and unique and flavorful that we would return in a heartbeat.

Food was amazing especially the Shrimp Tacos!! The atmosphere was great! Would've been better if the fountains were working but still a great view of downtown! Our waiter wasn't that great unfortunately. We had to ask for silverware and straws. Also had to keep waving him down for other things. All in all, it was a great experience! We will be back!

For our last night in Ohio we ventured out to a different area of Columbus. We certainly made the right decision for our final dinning experience. At the Milestone 229 you have the option to dine inside or you can dine on the patio with an amazing view of the river area. First off the service was incredible. Our waiter checked in on us the perfect amount of times, not too little, not too much, the perfect amount. We started off with some fabulous German Pretzel Bread with a unique but delicious Whole Grain Honey Mustard. For our main courses we had the Lobster Ravioli and the Hanger Steak. Absolutely amazing, the Hanger Steak was cooked to perfection according to my liking and my beautiful date raved about the Ravioli. The side dishes that came with the Hanger Steak were amazing and a great compliment to the steak. Our waiter brought us the desert menu although we were to full to indulge the option sounded incredible. All in all, I can't think off a better place to wrap up our time in Columbus. The truth is every dining experience we had was great with delicious food; however the Milestone 229 was a step above. Highly recommended!

Excellent restaurant. Great location. Very good interior design, however floor vents blew up frigid air. The staff was nice to offer vent covers, which eradicated the problem. Parking off street was very limited. Other than these two issues, I highly recommend this restaurant. The wait staff was very efficient and friendly. The food and presentation was above board. The pricing was appropriate for the quality and quantity of food presented. The entry was handicapped accessible, as were the restrooms. This place was a definite yes! My group and I plan to return and enjoy more entrees! You should try it too, you won't be disappointed!!!
