I still think about the Brussels salad from The Bridge House all the time. It was my go to after work, for casual dinners with friends, date nights, or even just grabbing something to go. The warm Brussels tower paired with a crispy risotto cake, sweet plumped dried cranberries, and the most incredible whipped parmesan dressing! Perfection! What made it even better was how affordable it was. It was one of those rare dishes that you could count on every single time. I have yet to find anything local that comes close, and I genuinely miss it. If anyone ever recreates something like this, I will be first in line. read more

Bridge House Restaurant - Brussels Salad - New American Near Me - Milford, Connecticut

I've always ordered the crunchy stuffed chicken, haven't been here in a while but dined here this week, my favorite was still great,although it seems the chicken is no longer crunchy on the outside. My son always raved over their Mac N' cheese and this is where he wanted us to take him for his 22nd birthday, he wanted their Mac N' cheese, so both my son and my other son's girlfriend ordered the mac & cheese. They took about four bites and my son decided it's different. It's not like it used to be doesn't taste right. Nonetheless, he was disappointed on his birthday. Beside that, our food was good. But the first noticeable thing was our server a waitress, she was pretty rude even though we were very nice to her. After we'd gotten home my other son looked it up and seen a few reviews on the service of this very same waitress/server. We dined there on 05/06/26 . And got there about 8:30-9:00pm read more

Decent parking. Nice interior. Decent menu but heavy on fish for my liking. I ordered the meatloaf since it came highly recommended. It definitely didn't live up to the hype. I was so disappointed. The salad with the bacon was fabulous. The banana dessert is worth going again. read more

Another fantastic meal at Bridge House. Had a fantastic swordfish dinner.. the sauce was outstanding and the risotto was cooked perfect. My wife had the short ribs and they were super tender and the fried pickles were amazing! Always a good meal here. Our server Emily was such a sweet person.. and the music was fantastic. Yacht rock music in a nice 72° air conditioner would a perfect day. read more

Went to Bridge House recently and was very disappointed. They have definitely gone downhill over the last. Ordered the sword fish and t was awful, not fresh (most likely FROZEN or OLD) It was not flakey or moist, almost like a piece of rubber. Don't order the sword fish ..... it's Gross. Ate a few bites and threw the rest out when I got home. Should have sent it back. read more

Right over the bridge in Devon this place gets a lot of attraction I thought long and hard before writing this review and the food leaves much to be desired. We got a seat at the bar looking to get some happy hour specials and a few drinks. For apps we settled on the Lemon pepper quesadilla which was our favorite thing we ordered. Also got a fried pasta dish which was odd and didn't go together, was pasta with what appeared to be bread crumbs. For entrees we got a variety of different stuff. The giant meatball, a Jalapeno Egg Chicken burger, a Pastrami Sandwich and some Steak and Frites. The steak and frites was the best out of the bunch, nice presentation. The pastrami was a little too thick cut which made it difficult to eat, my chicken burger was decent nothing special, the fries were a miss, just nothing going on with them. The giant meatball was just a hunk of a meatball, hardly any flavor and my wife didn't enjoy it at all, was very odd, they need to present and elevate it better. All in all I'd return for apps, their food needs a little work. read more

Food was shockingly delicious. The crab cakes, berry salad, quinoa burger ( extra yum) and blue berry crème brûlée. The server was efficient with a smile. Ate in the bar room --,so calm and felt like alone with my love read more

I read a review that this place had an ambitious menu and I agree. The menu items have unique twists but I'm not sure it always lands if that makes sense. We ordered a lot of items. My favorite was the happy hour lemon pepper chicken quesadilla. But that's a chef special. We didn't understand the friend penne vodka app. It really was just pasta in a bowl with some crunchy fried pieces. My corned beef sandwich would have been amazing but the corned beef was cut so thick and maybe it was over cooked therefore the meat was really tough to chew. I sampled the steak and fries, that was very yummy. The gigantic meatball had an unattractive presentation. The chicken burger was delicious. The staff was friendly and the bar area was lively. I'd come back to try other options. read more

We came in around 9:15 and were told the kitchen closes at 10:00. There was still a party going on downstairs, so we decided to stay. The waitress seemed annoyed with us for coming in so late. We ordered the calamari, which was delicious. I ordered the small filet mignon cooked medium rare. My friend ordered different type of steak medium well. Hers was rare and mine was well done. I didn't want to send it back, as the waitress already didn't like us. read more

Ordered from GrubHub. I ordered 2 Diet Cokes and got 2 Regular Cokes. Ordered Key Lime Pie. I have no idea what I was sent, it wasn't Key Lime Pie. Ordered a Rueban Sandwich. Meat was sliced wrong and was full of fat. Totally inedible. Also, asked for napkins and silverware, received none. Fries served with sandwich were also bad. read more

I really like this restaurant. The food is always good and the ambiance is cozy with a lot of energy. The service in the bar area is just okay. So busy during happy hour - they really need more staff during that time! I recently made reservations for Thanksgiving. Didn't see the menu at the time, but now I have and am disappointed to learn that the only dessert offered is going to be pumpkin pie? Boring! At $50 a plate, I think they can do better! read more

Overly ambitious dishes; very much like pub food attempting at fancy. Wasn't terrible, just extra for no reason. Our server was coughing and had sniffles. She was sick. Obviously so. read more

My first time dining here, and I was pleased with the cozy, and intimate ambiance of the dining room. I ordered my favorite fish and chips, I always enjoy it most everywhere I have had it. I was very surprised that what I got was overcooked to the point that I had to scrape the top of the fish to get some on my fork, most was cooked into a hard crust on the bottom. I was with an out of towner who hoped to enjoy a special night out, so I didn't send it back. Don't know if this was a one time kitchen flop, or what. He seemed to enjoy his meal. read more

Bridge House had friendly staff, great food and a good beer and wine list. The jalapeño cheddar chicken burger was particularly outstanding. I'd definitely go back if in the area again. read more

Food was lousy... overpriced greasy seafood. I have food in dive bars that was much better. Service was indifferent. The ambiance loud crappy music, you are unable to have a conversation with the person next to you... It is like they are trying to create a spring break atmosphere at what used to be a good place to eat... Zero stars, don't waste your money here... read more

Moving to Milford and got stuck here for a week with delayed closing at a hotel..Day 1 had the Brussels tower I with chicken for lunch in house. Delish! I have ordered it from DoorDash now 2 more times. Each time so excellent. It will be my go to dish when the move is complete. Crispy ricotta risotto cake with shredded Brussels and parm shaped into a cone. Dressing is whipped parm and dish has plumped dried cranberries, with choice of protein atop. It is fire!!! This is the only pic I have but the menu pic is accurate. read more

This is a mixed review. My husband and I enjoyed a nice lunch at the bar here one Saturday. The food and drinks were delicious and the service from the bartender was fantastic. Five star. So a week later, we brought our son with us. We sat at a booth in the bar area. Our waitress was awful. She forgot to bring items we had ordered. And she didn't come back to ask if we had everything. Instead, she stood at the other end of the bar chatting with other staff. My husband and I would've ordered a second round of drinks if she had returned. Fortunately, we were seated next to where the manager was standing and he took over for his waitress. (She really ought to consider another job.) Moral of the story, only recommend lunch at the bar. read more

Great food and great value. We stayed at the dockside marina and enjoyed the beers and brewery vibe, but wanted to go a bit more upscale for food, and the Bridge House is a major cut above pub grub and not that much more money. I ate there twice - once with a buddy at the bar, enjoyed fried chicken and vanilla waffles with pickled slaw. Also started with clams on the half shell which were well shucked, served cold, with a healthy dollop of horseradish. Night two was a short rib tomahawk over polenta, well presented and delicious. Other folks had stuffed chicken over mashed potatoes. Order from the BH favorites side of the menu and you can't go wrong. Service was good, atmosphere was upbeat. read more

Awesome birthday dinner tonight at Bridge House! I love the salt and pepper shrimp--unique, and a great value. I also love the beet salad with fennel, green beens, fresh oranges, and pistachio dust. It's delicious and truly something special. My spouse enjoyed the clams casino and filet mignon with whipped potatoes and green beens. He ate every bite. He also had a second smokey maple old fashioned because the first was so good, while I enjoyed the chocolate peanut butter cake, which was complimentary because I registered for and received email updates. Service was phenomenal as well, and place was just the right amount of busy. It was a fabulous and memorable celebration! read more

The quality of the food has greatly declined. We used to eat here at least 2-3 times a month but will never order again. Last 2 times our favorite burgers in Milford were raw in the middle and charred on the outside and the bacon was pretty much raw as well. The seafood chowder is usually delicious but it was so salty that it was inedible just like the burgers. Overpriced for the lack of quality product lately. Will not be back. read more

Excellent service, great cocktail (jalapeño margarita) and food. They have a very nice honey butter that comes with the bread, and the lobster rolls are amazing. My husband had the chicken and waffles - the waffles were sugary, and it came with candied bacon, maple aioli, and slaw. Fabulous! read more

Mother's Day Brunch Buffet 2025. I have a wonderful family with 3 daughters. My 3 daughter planned a beautiful day for their mother and the highlight was supposed to be the Brunch Buffet at the Bridget House in Milford. It was far from it. It was awful. We were in the basement of the restaurant with a lot of other family, which I be very surprised if any of them thought this was a ok buffet. The atmosphere was awful and the food was terrible. The tables were 6' rounds with black table cloths with no flower to brighten up the area/space. Many tables pack in to fill up the space and made it feel cramped. The buffet cost $50 per person which did not includes the cost to have a drink. The salad look like bag salad for the store, the penne vodka was penne with sauce from a jar, it was not vodka sauce. The ham had a funny taste to it, etc, etc... we are a family of 5 and we had 6-pieces of Belgium waffles, a little salad, 2 egg fritters, a few pieces of sausage, etc, and one drink each and the bill was $290.00 not including tips. I dressed my concerns with the manager and he took off 20% which was roughly $230.00 for this. Please see picture below. Needless to say, we will never go back to this restaurant. We went across the dockside and have a much better time and actually drank and ate for a lot less. read more

Food quality / price (value) rating 10. The atmosphere is pub / tavern l. The menu is just off center from typical, with unexpected offerings, specials, Happy Hour, Brunches, and more! They offer a limited, but well chosen, number of draught heers. The food is high quality, prepared properly, and presented beautifully. Our server, Emily, vwas attentive, empathetic to our meeds and wishes, and made sure our experience was an excellent one. We split a Hummus / Guacamole and chips appetizer which was unique and delicious. I had the Prime Rib, that came with grilled baby green beans and mashed, and the wife had the Swordfish with a parmesan / pesto risotto that was fantastic. We finished our evening with a couple Keoke Coffees (perfectly made), and their signature dessert - a fantastic Rum Raisin Bread Pudding. The prices are below market expectations for this area. They have two other restaurants in the vicinity, and we will be eating at one of them tomorrow ("Founders") where Dominic (the general manager) will be applying his magic. Rave ratings for this place, definitely come visit ! read more

Great food and lovely weight staff but the parking is a huge issue for anyone trying to dine here! I had small plates with my date and the drinks were watered down but the host at the door was very friendly! read more

Always a fan of getting a meal at Bridge House. They do classic dishes well and have an intimate spot right on Bridgeport Ave. We've been here quite a bit and enjoy the food each time; they also have bar seating available if that's more your groove read more

I love this place. My favorite neighborhood spot. Food is always excellent and the staff is always friendly.

We were extremely disappointed in the meal. We have eaten here before and it was very good. Today we had the twin lobster rolls and they were loaded with garlic and salt. The menu did not state that there was garlic in the dish. The garlic was raw and crushed on top. I still can't get the taste out of my mouth. When we told the waitress she just said they do things differently here. I get that, but tell the customers what is in the dish so they can have the opportunity to say no garlic. We will not be returning. This review is for Milford, CT. read more

Been going there for happy hour for a year now with my girlfriend!! I was very disappointed last time that we waited for a seat for a half an hour and manager John said he would not honor the happy hour specials. Love the food atmosphere and Sara as bartender but I don't think I'll be returning. Poor business ethics by manager John. We travel from Branford to because we enjoyed atmosphere and hospitality. read more

What a gem! I can't believe I have never been here! Their is such a big food and drink selection on the menu, but we stuck with the brunch for Father's day. The chicken crepe was so light and filling. Loved the au gratin potatoes too. All of our meals from the brunch menu were delicious and filling. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The server was friendly and attentive. We will be back to try out the happy hour specials! read more

We were visiting from out of town and needed a last minute dinner for four. I called and John the manager cheerfully told me "we will find a spot for you". The steak frites with truffle fries was a stand out. The cocktails were great and our waitress was a doll! Will definitely be back if we are on the area. read more

Server didn't listen to requests Food was ok but not as good as previous visits Will not return read more

Went here with family, food was excellent, especially enjoyed the beef short rib, nice tasting bbq sauce, salad* dressing was excellent. We sat in a booth at the bar, it was a little tight for 4 people, but not too bad. I would try to sit in the dining room if possible. Prices are a little high, but the quality is there, so one may consider it justifiable. Casual atmosphere is nice also. Note, parking behind restaurant is TIGHT, you may want to consider parking on the street. *salad we had --- (last one on list, cant remember what it was called -- we had the 1st salad on list with pears, bacon, cheese, next time I'd ask to hold the bacon, the dressing we had was the one listed on the last salad (switched it out for the mustard dressing)) read more

I am a regular at Bridgehouse and we come because of the location and the bartender Sarah! She is personable and does a great job. The food tonight was extremely dissatisfying. Everything was over cooked, the meatloaf, a great staple here at the Bridgehouse, for those familiar is always great. Tonight it was not! Although not the same as the "original" mini loaf pan version which was "the best" the revised version still tasted the same. Tonight, however, it was dry and dense! It's meatloaf! My partner also ordered a med filet which came out Well done. They graciously replaced it but still.... A basic staple! I hope the team here can figure out how to have greater consistency in the food since I Know, the majority of customers are local and regulars! Please, for all us locals, make it great again! read more

First time here! The staff is SO friendly, we were sat by who I am assuming) is the manager. The bartender was very talkative as well. Really expansive menu with lots of different options for every palate. The brussel sprouts salad was a let down- it was basically just Parmesan with a few raw brussel sprouts tucked away. The grilled chicken on top was good, however. The steak salad was delicious as was the side of Mac n cheese which is HUGE. Overall would definitely go back. Huge wooden bar and they have happy hour as well. read more

I have eaten at the Bridge House and enjoyed their happy hour but I never had an event there until my daughter's baby shower. It was held in the lower level and it was everything that we could hope for. John and the staff was amazing! Food was outstanding and my guests remarked about it as well!. The space was private with a nice seating area and we had private bathrooms as well as a bar! I would highly recommend using the Bridge House for a small event. John made everything seamless; he took care of everything with a smile. read more

Food was decent,overpriced though. Worst part was my dining companion had two hairs in her clam chowder.! Server apologized but 1) never had a manager come to speak to us and 2) they didn't take her clam chowder off the bill. After that neither one of us felt like eating. Won't be going back. read more

This restaurant has a prime spot across from Dockside - but they just don't deliver. I guess there's a reason we have lived near this area of Connecticut for 10+ years and have never heard this place recommended. It's lousy. My nephew wanted a seafood dinner for his birthday and he chose The Bridge House. It's a cute place. Prime spot. But what comes out of their kitchen isn't worth the money you spent on gas to get there. We were a large group of 10 people and the service was good. We ordered 4 appetizers, but they were all decent at best. Spinach artichoke dip tasted like something frozen and slopped onto a plate with cold bagged chips and a few pieces of sliced up pita bread. It was so cheesy with literally next to no artichoke in it - and very salty. Definitely not fresh ingredients. No actual pieces or chunks of artichokes. The calamari was mediocre. Nothing impressive for a seafood restaurant. Again, likely frozen and thrown into a fryer. The taquitos were good - but nothing to you couldn't do yourself with a box of frozen taquitos and an air fryer. The special of the day appetizer was a chicken Marsala flatbread. It was okay. Not very flavorful though. Bland. As for main courses, we all had different meals (burgers, filet, sirloin, mac & cheese and seafood). We had 10 people in our party, and nobody really liked any of the meals. The steaks were suppose to come with mashed potatoes, but instead came with overly salty sliced up potatoes. It was literally inedible, as it tasted like the chef dumped a pound of salt over all of the food. All of us were scraping salt off and trying to salvage whatever bites we could. Vegetables on the plates were also covered in so much salt - so all we did is tell each other it was pretty lousy because the food was so incredibly salty. I will say the steaks and burgers for all parties were cooked to order properly - but that's where it ends. Seafood was mediocre. My nephew who came for the seafood on his special night was less than impressed. There were leftovers all over - and yet nobody took anything home. So, whether you're coming here for seafood, steaks, burgers or apps ....they are all mediocre at best and inedible because of the mounds of salt they throw on their food. We won't be back or recommending. read more
