We had an enjoyable dinner at the Milford House. If we weren’t searching for it, we would have missed it as we drove right by it as it does look like a house. The dining entrance is in the back. We chose to dine outside and our waitress was very nice. We ordered the salmon, a burger and a chicken salad. The meals were good and so was the service. The salmon was cooked perfectly, the burger was thick and tasted really good with a side of fries that were perfect.

This felt like a full circle moment for me – I worked as a dishwasher for a hot second at the Oyster House back in college (the forefather of this establishment), but I never actually ate there or at the Milford House until now. I think it’s a little tough to live up to the hype as the best restaurant in town – which is sometimes the result of the price point versus the quality of the offerings – but this is a noble contribution to the area.
I came here for dinner last Saturday with my parents – they actually did eat at the Oyster House once or twice in the 90s, but this was everyone’s debut at the Milford House. The entrance location is a little awkward; the door facing the road and the most obvious place to enter is not utilized by customers. You have to go around the building to enter through the backdoor, briefly through a more blue-collar bar area, and then into the rustic, more formal dining area. Huge points in their favor – despite the white tablecloths, they didn’t even hesitate to let me in with my beach shorts and tank top (it was sweltering out, in my defense). Hunterdon County hospitality right there. To that end, our waitress was excellent. She was super personable/friendly, and I also don’t recall a significant wait time for anything. Top-notch service, so at the very least this place is a recommend on that basis alone.
Since I wasn’t paying, I went for the Milford Old-Fashioned (I think $12ish), along with the Wild Boar Meatball app ($6) and the Crab Norfolk (about $42). I couldn’t decide how I ultimately felt about this, but you can’t really pre-game your dinner options here – every day, the Milford House posts their dinner menu on their Facebook page around noon. On one hand, I kind of love that the menu is different every day, but I wish you had a little more advance notice to make an educated dinner decision. I lean towards liking it, even though it meant I had to dust off my Facebook account as part of the process. (I moved to Instagram several years ago so I could look at dog pictures instead of political posts).
I really liked the Old-Fashioned, and I’d say it’s honestly one of the better ones I’ve had, likely because of the inclusion of brown sugar, which emphasizes the natural sweetness of the bourbon. I wasn’t quite as crazy about the meatballs. Generally I’m massively into wild game, but while the meatballs were tender (my mother said it was because they were heavy on the breading), the meat itself was pretty dry and bland. Also personal palate preference-wise, I’m not crazy about crunchiness in meat, so the inclusion of chunks of onion wasn’t one of my favorite decisions here. They weren’t terrible by any means, but I doubt I’d order them again. For the size, I think $6 is a magnificent price point though.
The Crab Norfolk was excellent. I honestly don’t know if $42 for an entree like that is reasonable, but it was a solid serving and given that I’ve willingly paid $25 for a lobster roll with a fraction of the meat, I don’t know that I have grounds to complain (also, as mentioned, not my money! My favorite kind of meal!). Crab always seems to get a rep for being the lower class sibling of lobster, but I think it’s usually really tasty. The fresh, crisp pieces of bread it came with complemented the dish well, and it was a little reminiscent of a crab dip/bread setup, though obviously much more higher end. I’d definitely get that again.
A meal at an establishment like that could easily set you back $100 or so, but I think it’s definitely worth it from time to time. My hometown is unapologetically blue collar for the most part, but it’s nice to get a little dollop of the finer things in life every now and then (especially when you can do so in your beach shorts).

Everything was delicious and the service was awesome.

My partner and I eat out a lot, probably too much.
I just would like to give a shout out to this beautifully magnificent raw bar. Had a small business dinner, with a few who don’t typically enjoy oysters; the fresh high quality of the raw bar made this evening end quite well.
The waitress name I can not remember, we bought a bottle of wine, but the monkfish was delicious.
Overall we had a great time. The place wasn’t particularly busy (although I do admit I understand short staff is a common thing these days)…
The service was fine, just not great. The food was beyond phenomenal. We had a great times, although we did feel our waitress was a bit too present. We tried to politely inform her with general terms that this was going to be the one table she could certainly ignore.
Not her fault, business outings are hard to read. We greatly appreciated her service and will return.

Went back here for the first time in a couple years with my family and was very pleasantly surprised at a new (to me) menu. The oysters were delicious, the salmon and the red snapper were excellent. The waitress was very kind and attentive, and I love the paintings and plants hung throughout the restaurant as decor. Happy this is still here in Milford! Looking forward to a return visit in the future.

Traveling from Denver, staying at Chestnut Hill. The food was outstanding! Monday night Tapas menu was amazing. Apple Fritter topped it off perfectly. Nice live, light guitar music was also great.
