I am so sad Dewey’s is closing this week. They have been my favorite jazz restaurant to go to the last few years, and they will be sorely missed. If you get the chance to go before they close on the 23rd, do it!

Our server, Aleena, was so nice! Food was great, I never come here without getting the fried pickle chips (and they never disappoint!). Very allergen friendly and I appreciate how many GF options there are! Drinks are on a pricier side… It was also very busy for a Wednesday night.

Guests at the hotel and had to dine there at least one night. It was certainly as good, or better, than other nights in nearby towns with everything perfectly prepared, plated and portioned. One item was unavailable, a fish entree, but was nicely substituted and for the same price-point. Service, while a bit frantic, was present and fine and the noise level dropped considerably when a 7-top adjacent left. Wasn't a problem but always try to answer questions honestly and accurately. Overall, terrific dinner, worthy of the wonderful setting and a very good breakfast at the other end of the day.

Milford

About the restaurant

The Rail Trail Flatbread Co., celebrated its grand opening on 12/12/23, marking not only a milestone in Milford's downtown revitalization but also a nod to the original Hudson location's success. Built in a meticulously renovated former bank that features a spacious restaurant and bar, outdoor patio, and upstairs events space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Milford location reflects a two-and-a-half-year renovation effort, preserving historical elements like the century-old clock, vault door, and exposed brick walls. The open dining layout encourages interaction, adorned with family photos for a homey feel.

Though famous for flatbreads, Rail Trail boasts diverse offerings, each component is made in-house. Notable flatbreads include "Fig & Walnut" and "Mexican Street Corn," alongside the popular "Primo Pepperoni." Appetizers like "Hot Tots" and "Sesame Cauliflower" showcase Rail Trail's culinary creativity.

Brunch just as fabulous as dinner. A bit quieter, but we were there at a weird 1:30 hour. No complaints!

My husband and I went to the 350 Grill to celebrate his birthday. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Our server, Michael, was outstanding. He was attentive, courteous, professional, funny, and kind. The food was incredible, quite possibly, the best steak I have ever had. We had a great date night, thank you!
