So after going to eat at Sake Maki on Broadway, we went for dessert at Milestone. We originally went to the Cheesecake etc. but it was full house with people waiting in a line up. We both don’t like crowded and noisy places so there was no hesitation to turn around and look elsewhere.

I drive by this Milestone everyday from work, and had been attracted to the cool lights…hehe…like moths to a light bulb…lol.

The restaurant is split into a lounge/bar and table/booths. It’s really roomy and very modern. High-end, slick and targeted for the young, urban professional. The lights are very moody, but the right ambience. Not too dark nor bright. They even had a private room as well. This location is on the second floor, but it has an elevator, so it’s wheelchair accessible.

The hostess greeted us and asked us if we were there for dinner or dessert. We replied ‘for dessert.’ Then asked us whether we wanted to sit in the lounge or booths. We chose booths. Most of the cake slices were around $7. There was a Milestone’s Dessert Shots set for $10.99 that really looked good (in the photo), but unfortunately, it seemed that most of them contained nuts (damn…hate having this nut allergy!)…so instead, I was told that the Decadent Duo $10.99 was the safest bet with the 2 cheesecake.

I wouldn’t recommend this dessert if you have a really severe nut allergy. The 2 cheesecake comes on one single plate. The chocolate cheesecake is full of nuts. I had the white creamy one. All I can say is “it’s way too damn sweet” and that’s not in a good way sweet. I felt I was just scraping off from a lump of sugar…argh… The only thing I liked were the strawberries and whip cream… I couldn’t even eat 1/3 of it. Not my cup of tea…

I’ll defintely be returning to Milestone again, but one thing I’ve learned about most western desserts is that they are often way too sugary for my liking…and for anyone who wants to avoid becoming diabetic!
