So most of you know that my husband, Julio, lives in Boston. From time to time his work finds him in NYC or in Greenwich and that allows us to spend some time together. Tonight we decided to go to Bridge House in Milford, CT (http://www.milfordbridgehouse.com/). This is our "go to" whenever we are in the mood for an excellent meal in a friendly neighborhood place.
We started with a dish called "Meatball for 2" it is a massive meatball (as explained on the menu) that is stuffed with mozzarella and drenched in marinara, pesto and Parmigiano Reggiano shavings. We were so taken aback by the dish that we completely forgot to take a picture, hence the photo of the empty plate.
Immediately following was king crab legs for me and Julio ordered the ribeye steak encrusted with fig, Gorgonzola and caramelized onions. The crab was sweet, melt in your mouth, perfectly cooked wondefurlness. The shells were partially cracked so I didn't have to struggle to eat my meal and I didn't have to wear one of those unflattering bibs. It was served with a side of crisp hericot verts and silky mashed potatoes. Julio's steak was everything that we imagined it would be. The earthiness of the flame grilled steak was no competition for the crust. The caramelized onions and figs danced on the palate with the steak and the Gorgonzola like an Argentine Tango, slow and full of passion.
An excellent meal indeed AND accompanied by a half price bottle of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc. I especially enjoyed this white wine with the steak. The citrus undertones played well with the figs.
I recommend this restaurant to everyone. You cannot have a bad meal there and the staff is great too!
