Hey Novo..
Completely forgot about Milestone's
That would be perfect for her to take her mom
Not sure if there is one in Oakville but there is one in Burlington:)-

There's one that straddles the border of Mississauga/Oakville at 403 and Dundas, next to the Vega Blvd. Silver City.

Glad she enjoyed it! Milestones is a go-to place for me when dining with my parents. My mother sounds a lot like yours.

Okay well if she is meat and potatoes take her to the KEG....
At least the Keg you know what you are gettingYou have shot down everyones suggestions and Tongue and Groove would be
way too upscale for her as you stated she is more into a down-to-earth not too foo-foo
kind of place.............SO: you want NO ethnic, NO italian, NOT too expensive........
MAKE DINNER at YOUR PLACE!!!!! :).....at least you know the food will be good
and the service will rock!›1 Reply-

Im so sorry that Ive been so difficult.. Im just trying to make sure she gets what she wants and I was trying to avoid it, but.. alas, with my mom, its probably best to play it safe.. thanks for your suggestions everyone, I will have to get my boyfriend to take me to some of those spots, at least I will appreciate it. Thanks for all your help!

re: NoFixedAddress
hm thats an option, but Id love to avoid italian if its possible in our price range only because we have it so often.. but there were few places Ive been told about, any opinions on the following:
hamptons restaurant
tongue and groove
o'finn irish temper
ansons of oakville
thanks again -
re: NoFixedAddress
Via Mia had to be one of the worst Italian restaurant meals I've eaten. Badly prepared, overpriced 70's style Italian. I have also tried to go to the sister resturant Fishbones but the server was so rude when we arrived and then completely ignored my Dad and me on the patio that we left without ordering. There are so many awesome restaurants in Oakville such as Stoney's, (casual) Funky Thai, but I haven't found a good steakhouse yet.

Hm all of those places sound amazing, but theyre a little more then I wanted to spend (more 30-40 $ mains unless we all go with pasta). My mother is VERY steak and potatoes, doesnt like anything interesting from a foodie perspective really so in her eyes "its not worth spending the money on a really expensive fancy meal" when she would be happier with something simple (but atmosphere is still important)

What about Jonathan's Souffle and Wine Bar? It's next door to Jonathan's proper and much cheaper (& less formal). It's in your price range, the soufflees are lovely, and if that doesn't make your day, there are plenty of other options on the menu. They have a menu on their website: http://www.jonathansofoakville.com/me...
