Believe us: we didn’t expect to be recommending a chain restaurant either, but when we saw the design of the refurbished Yaletown Milestones, we were somehow drawn in.

Floating fireplaces, a glassed-in private room that appears to be surrounded by abstract silver trees, and Steven Sprouse-inspired graffiti upholstery are just some of the touches we loved.

Even the once-taboo Navaho print looks fresh as wallpaper and snakeskin banquettes and driftwood décor add to the quirky-cool factor.

We suggest drinks at the communal table in the bar area to celebrate your latest milestone. Does making it to Friday count?
