🧑🍳 Meet the Chef: Brett Keating

A Culinary Institute of America grad with Florida resort cred — and probably a secret power to perfectly sear scallops and charm lobsters into submission. 🧂🔥


🍽️ What’s on the Plate?

Stonebridge serves American classics with a seafood soul. Think butter-poached lobster rolls, creamy clam chowder, juicy steaks, mango-glazed salmon, and crab cakes that could make Maryland jealous. 🦀

🎣 From the sea:

  • 🦞 Warm Lobster Roll: Butter-poached claw + knuckle meat. Can fluctuate — but when it's good, it’s “shut-up-and-take-my-money” good.

  • 🥣 Clam Chowder: New England style, creamy and classic. Usually delicious.

  • 🥗 Crab Cake Downtown Salad: Mixed greens, apples, cranberries, goat cheese, sweet roasted pecans — and two lump crab cakes. YES PLEASE.

  • 🐟 Mango Salmon: Pan-seared, topped with mango salsa, coconut rice. Island vibes in Milford.

🥖 Still on the wish list:

  • 🍞 Lobster Bomb: A bisque-filled bread bowl explosion of lobster (your choice: 4oz or 8oz of buttery bliss).

  • 🍉 Grilled Scallop & Watermelon Salad: Yes, it’s real. And it sounds weirdly magical.


🏡 The Spaces: Pick Your Mood

🪵 Main Dining Room: Recently renovated, cozy fireplace, and a classy new bar.
🍻 Pub Room: More casual. Great for laid-back vibes and game nights.
🌸 Garden Setting: Perfect for al fresco chillin’ with your chowder.
🌊 Deck + Patio: Overlooks the romantic Wepawaug River waterfall.
🔥 Heated Glass Porch: Now year-round! Dine under the stars without freezing your fork off.

Menu available everywhere — yes, even on the waterfall deck. If a lobster falls in the river, it’s probably pre-cooked.


🎤 Nightlife: Yes, It’s a Thing

Live music, DJs, bands, trivia, game nights — Stonebridge is not just a restaurant; it’s Milford’s unofficial party headquarters. 💃🕺🎸
