My wife's and my favorite place in the world. The food is incredible, fresh, and seasonal, and everything is delicious. The atmosphere is incredible, and above all, the people at Park Winters are the most kind and wonderful human beings. We cannot recommend Park Winters enough -- an absolutely incredible place.

We had a great lunch which included pork chile verde, avocado tacos, chicken enchiladas and taco salad with chicken. Everything was delicious and good size portions. The salad was not disappointing. It had a great presentation and a good portion of chicken. It was certainly enough for lunch. Amanda was the best! She’s a great server with a lot of personality and very attentive to our needs!! We’ll be returning for sure

We brought out-of-town guests here for dinner on a busy Saturday night and had a lovely time. We are regulars but this was our friends’ first time at Milestone. They loved it just was much as we do. Great food, always perfectly prepared and the service is amazing.

The food was nicely prepared and the plates were abundant...the margaritas were delicious as always and our server was charming, helpful (daughter is a vegetarian) and attentive, but gave us time to talk as we needed... Atmosphere was warm, football game cheers and holiday music filled the air...and families celebrating!
