Looking for a hole in the walk that serves the absolutely best fried scallops in southern Connecticut, that's tucked into one of the finest walkable New England coastal town centers- that hosts plenty of action from time to time on their perfectly manicured green ? Look no further than Milford Center's 7 Seas ! Their Fresh, large, juicy & perfectly fried scallops can't be beat. Served with perfectly fried petite potato wedges & an outstanding coleslaw, mate with a cold beer & you'll reach nirvana. Truth be told, have munched here on & off for 30+ years & not much has changed: great burgers, chowder, f&c's & a pretty decent beer selection PLUS lobster rolls ( best in season ) doled out in a friendly & genuine dive bar atmosphere with the classiest staff that own 100 watt smiles. Not a raw bar place though. Biggest surprise: an icy cold zero alcohol IPA from Athletic, brewed in Milford CT. Outstanding ! For a joint with no parking, you know the food & people have got to be good to keep reeling folks in. Hint #1: for parking: behind the Milford Library there is a lot. Short walk from there on an easy to moderate grade. Hint #2: If you're Uber-ing, the center is a great place to do a pub crawl. read more

Consistently closes earlier than poster hours. Pours are not fair and the bartender acts like he owns the place. Idk maybe he does but this place is absolutely indifferent to business. Door says 10? Closed at 8. Wild. And the food is basicalty microwaved Sysco. Pure trash. read more

My first time here with my family on an early Friday evening. Seven Seas is smaller than I anticipated as far as the dining room space, but it fills up quickly because seating is on a first come first serve basis. The bar is of decent size with numerous flat screen televisions suitable for sports watching. I ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer on a bed of arugula salad with cherry tomatoes. My entree was Swordfish, served with a baked potato and string beans and broccoli. Honestly, the Swordfish was a little dry and over cooked. out of read more

Cozy pub with great seafood. Delicious fried seafood combination which had a little bit of everything and must get lobster rolls drenched in butter. The lobster bisque was good too and was topped with a lobster claw. The French fries were exceptional. Service was friendly. read more

Fun night out with friends. I shared the seafood combo with a friend and definitely glad I did because it was incredibly filling! We considered the double lobster rolls but the waitress was very honest with us about market price which we appreciated. (I know from experience their lobster rolls are excellent but I have never eaten here in person) The highlight was actually their sauces! The tartar sauce had a fun cinnamonny taste which added something special! My friend loved the cocktail sauce so much I didn't get to try! Only downside was grabbing our waitress to get our check was a challenge despite it being a Wednesday night. I'll be back though as both the seafood and the fries were top notch! read more

This was such an awesome find! A quick search for local hot spots and 7 Seas came up. We were so impressed. First of all, the service was amazing. Super nice, attentive and took great care of us! We never needed for anything. Sadly I didn't get this name but a younger guy dark hair. 12 stars out of 5. The food was to die for! Every single bite was phenomenal. We leaned heavily into the lobster and we were not disappointed. It tasted like someone got our order, walked into the ocean, caught fresh lobster and cooked it just for us. And the servings were insane making value and quality beyond amazing. Cannot say enough good things! Wish we were staying long enough to eat here again!! read more

Food was good, as was service. Ambiance was old tavern / bar style, which I don't mind, but it's not a fancy place by any means. Parking is as a challenge but wouldn't stop going just for that. It's fairly easy to get "other parking" nearby. read more

We stopped in for a quick drink. It's a relatively small restaurant/bar with nice wood accents. The bar area also has a few two top tables besides the bar stool that are all wood with armrests. Our bartender didn't introduce herself, so no idea of her name but she is an attractive straight haired blond. She appeared to be serving both the bar and restaurant wow. She was "on it" as far as service. Also very professional and sincerely kind. We had already eaten but a couple next to us mentioned how delicious the lobster rolls were and their friend recommended the fish n chips. We observed how clean it was and will be back to try the food. read more

Always a good meal. Hard to get parking. Summer Saturdays in Milford make for a busy town. Doors open to welcome hungry patrons. One bartender and one bar back / server. Courteous. No AC on a 91 degree day. 39.95$ lobster roll. Seafood is high, I get it. Not the best day at 7 Seas. Um, I will not be visiting soon. read more

Asked someone who lives in Milford to recommend seafood spot and they tossed out 7 Seas. Well I stopped in for lunch and I was greeted well, they are not fancy/Pub like but friendly and the food was amazing. I got great service and free popcorn. I ordered the lobster roll, fries and slaw. Needless to say it was all very good. Again not a fancy place but clean and friendly. Who needs fancy when the food is good and you feel welcome? I'm not in Milford often but I will certainly stop in again when in town to eat there. I want to go back and try the fried seafood the next time. Can I just say those french fries are EVERYTHING. Go check it out and report back. I don't think you will not be dissappointed. read more

Lobster rolls is how I roll all summer long when lunching in Fairfield and New Haven Counties in CT. They have some of the best I've eaten including Westchester County and Long Island. I'll start by saying my favorite is the CT style warm with butter but I will also eat the ME cold mayo version on occasion. Since it was my first lobster roll of the season I had to get the CT style. This restaurant served both claw and tail meat not the measly leg meat some places pawn off. It was served on a toasted hot-dog style bun which is also my preference. I didn't eat the bread so it shouldn't have made a difference but most times I do eat the bread. I take stars off if they serve it on a round roll and probably wouldn't return to that restaurant. Luckily for me 7 Seas served it just the way I like it. Melted butter on the side. The bun wasn't soaked in butter so it held up as a sandwich should you want to dive right in. At $32 MP I thought it was reasonable. The plate came with fries but I upgraded to a salad for $3 more. The salad was good but I wasn't a fan of the honey mustard dressing I asked for. It was the kind of sauce you dunk chicken nuggets or tenders with so not a salad dressing. I did ask for another dressing which I should have tasted before I dowsed the salad as I wasn't a fan of that either. My husband got the lightly breaded fried cod sandwich on a roll. Their was a a tasty tartar sauce spooned on top with lettuce and tomato. It came with fries, cole slaw and a pickle spear. He proclaimed the sandwich a winner. I tasted the fries and they were very good. Not your usual fries, they were more pillowy but still had a crunch. I really like cole slaw on the side whenever I have a fish meal so appreciated it but it was nothing outstanding. We found street parking no more than a block away. The restaurant is a quaint nautical themed pub restaurant with dark wood inside the restaurant and bar. I don't know what was in the Bloody Mary but it was very very good. Spicy with a hint of sweet. I'm sorry I didn't have one after I tasted my husbands. I would recommend this restaurant and someday will return. read more

The Lobster roll far exceeded my expectations as it was Pure Lobster with abundant of drawn butter to enhance the savory claws of lobster that were loaded into the perfectly toasted and proportioned roll/bread boat. The New England Clam Chowder was the best choice for a starter on the cold wintery northeastern night. The Pub environment with its sea weathered and aged interior added to the New England Lobster Roll experience. Staff were friendly and attentive but not dotting on the customer, as expected in a New England Pub. The meal was appropriately priced for the quantity and quality of the meal. I found the right Place for my favorite Lobster roll! read more

On the bright side - big portions, could easily bring home leftovers. However, the chowder was really salty, the lobster in the lobster roll was overcooked, and the calamari had too much breading for my taste. Won't go hungry here but it just wasn't satisfying for us. read more

7 Seas, if I could give them more than 5 stars I would, that's how good our meal was last night. This is typically the go to place for seafood in Milford as it's a local spot that serves up the best fish around. We started out with the potato skins for an app, we usually don't get these but now I can't imagine not getting them. They were served up wedge style, crispy bacon and melted cheese with sour cream and dill to dip it, simply magnificent. I selected the fish and chips for my entree while my wife got the lobster roll. Fish and chips were perfectly breaded and was a delectable piece of cod, fries always wedges cooked nicely to pair with them. They give you three good size pieces of cod you will not leave hungry for sure. My wife got her lobster roll and loved it, hefty portion of lobster and melted butter. Service may take some time but honestly that is because they are cooking it to order, well worth the wait. This pub is located in downtown so your best bet is to park either in the Colony lot or find a parking spot on the side of the street in the green and take a casual stroll on over, so worth it. read more

Grabbed takeout from here, a hot buttered lobster roll with fries. For the lobster, it was a mixture of tough and rubbery, and juicy but chewy. When eaten as a whole, the roll was adequate, with the bun being buttered but not soaking. The fries were like Jojo fries, but that was their downfall as they weren't cooked fully and were quite hard. If you're in the area you might grab this but I can't recommend traveling for it. 9th place of 13 lobster rolls we tried in CT this summer. read more

Leaving this review on behalf of my mother who doesn't have a Yelp account but wanted to share her deeply disappointing experience at 7Seas Restaurant. Upon arrival, no one was available at the hostess stand to greet or seat my mom and her husband, so they sat themselves at a table by the door while waiting for their teacher colleagues to arrive. An older blonde waitress soon approached them and curtly stated, "If you are not going to be a party of five, then you need to move." When my mother explained that her colleagues would be arriving shortly, the woman scoffed. Once they arrived as promised, the waitress returned to take their orders. When they began sharing their order, she snapped, "Wait, I'm not ready yet!" as she was pulled out her notepad. The entire group was taken aback by her sharp tone and unmistakably bad mood. To make matters worse, the party included an 86‑year‑old woman, the mother of one of the 4 teachers present, who was treated with the same lack of decency. While the food itself was decent, this could not compensate for the rude, unwelcoming service and overall unpleasant atmosphere. The group left feeling disrespected and all agreed they would not be returning. A restaurant that prioritizes basic kindness could have redeemed the meal--but this visit was ruined by a poor attitude and poor hospitality. Would not recommend. read more

The food here is always amazing. We have never had a bad meal. I have yet to try to prime rib which I must due but all the sea food, burgers, chicken etc. are incredible. My partner and I have been there when it's been crazy busy and the service is always spot on. The atmosphere has been the same for years and I would not change a thing. read more

We had a simple meal at 7 Seas, consisting of a round of Guinness beers and two orders of lobster rolls with fries. HOWEVER. That was one mind-blowing lobster roll. The meat was piled high into a top-split bun with amply toasted and buttered sides. The lobster was still in huge chunks, stuffed into the bread almost to the point of bursting. It was succulent, savory, buttery, luscious. I have no idea if there was anything to it other than lobster and straight-up butter, but I do not care. Do not tell me. Let me live in this perfect blissful memory forever. read more

Let me tell you: coming here is one of the greatest food decision we've made this past few months. My friend had recommended coming here for their lobster roll deal. You can order their lobster rolls single or double (and waitress recommended you can share the double). It's market price but when we were there Sep 2021 it was $49.99 for double rolls. It came with huge bowl of cole slaw and potato wedges. I absolutely loved the slaw, it wasn't covered in heavy mayo like most places - it's very light sauce/seasoning, you don't feel gross after eating it. The lobster rolls are the best I've had when you factor in the value. $49.99 = $25 each!? And the lobsters are overflowing on the rolls! We had to eat half of the lobster meat with fork on the plate. They only serve their rolls warm with melted butter (which they provide on a separate container so you can control how much butter you want). We were dipping the extra lobsters pieces in the butter! The rolls they used aren't exactly the classic sub buns, it reminded me more of a Texas Toast texture - which gave it an extra crunch and was so delicious. The potato wedges are good old potato, taste just right. We were so amazed by how much food you get for the price. The staffs were all very friendly. They don't have onsite parking but there's a parking lot not far down the street behind one of the restaurants plazas (not the one right across). Highly recommend coming with someone to share the double lobster roll deal! I'm not sure how their normal entrees taste but I was blown away by their lobster roll double deal!! read more

I have to start by swathe service here was excellent! We had a party of 6 and our waitress was on top of everything and was fun too! We came here once before for lobster rolls and thought they were the best we've had, so that's what brought us back. Don't think you can just pick the roll up and take a bite right away...there is WAY too much meat stuffed into the roll to do that. You have to eat it with a fork first which is the best part of this! The potato wedges are crispy and light. The philly cheesesteak had a delicious grinder roll and the perfect cheese ratio. My son had the ribeye and said it was delicious and definitely a good size! The food here is always delicious no matter what we get. The service and lobster rolls will bring us back again! read more

Used to come here when I was really young and just came back recently with my dad. I enjoyed my meal! I do think the atmosphere could use a bit of updating.

What an enjoyable meal I had this evening. Walking into this Pub/restaurant is like walking into a place where everyone knows you. We sat at the bar area which was perfect. For starters we had the New England Clam Chowder. Loved it! Loaded with clams and all good things, mostly flavor. For our entrees I had the fried shrimp with potato wedges and my girlfriend had the fish and chips. She loved it. The pub/restaurant is a bit on the divey side but it's all good because the food really delivers. The staff is awesome. They are quick to seat you and take care of you. We will definitely be back for lunch and dinners. read more

First time visit and had a blast. Met some awesome locals, had some drinks, a shot and some great food. 7 Seas is that cozy bar on a rainy night where you catch up with a friend and have some laughs. Not pretentious or fancy. Just a real bar with a good old time feel and I like it. Antiques, dark wood paneling and a nice wooden bar on the right. Winter was our bartender and she was great. I ordered the Turkey Club with sweet potato fries and my friend had the Bacon Cheeseburger. Classic pub fare that hit the spot. They are known for their Lobster Rolls and Seafood. I will have to give that a try next time. You can definitely tell that this place is packed for St. Patrick's Day. Shamrocks on the bar. Really fun. I will absolutely go back the next time I am in Milford, the sixth oldest town in Connecticut. 7 Seas is right near the town green, the second longest town green in New England. What a fun night we had. Thanks, 7 Seas! read more

When we were heading home from a college visit we needed to eat and decided to try to find a nice, local seafood place-nothing fancy, just good eats. We decided to stop at 7 Seas to give it a shot and man, What an amazing little neighborhood bar and restaurant. Sooooooo local! Loved it! I started with a cup of chowder made with real cream and not thickened with a bunch of corn starch. Delicious, needed a little pepper, but nice chunks of clams and not too many potatoes. I also ordered the Lobster roll- which was simply a bun full of lovely buttery lobster goodness. Wifey had the fried fish sandwich and fries - exceptionally fresh all around. The batter was crispy without being thick and just too much - fish was moist and flaky and a nice size piece for the roll. My son had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries and he had ZERO complaints. Didn't have a huge beer selection, but we had Aligash white and a Sams. If I lived in the area I'd be here a lot...if YOU are in the area, do yourself a favor and give theM a try. read more

A classic seaside town pub with a basic menu of seafood, salads and burgers. The Seas has a good reputation for fried seafood. However you may have to spend more time than one hour for lunch as the service is slow. I went with several friends (5 of us) for a midweek lunch. The dinning room had several occupied tables and the one waitress was friendly and attentive upon our arrival. Once we placed our drink and lunch orders Our drinks came promptly but we waited for quite a long time before seeing the waitress again. We had to have our drinks refilled as we continued to wait for our lunches. There was popcorn available for us to munch on thankfully. Another table of 4 people came in after us and were happily eating their lunches while we continued to wait for ours. I expected to spend about an hour for a relaxing lunch however it took so long for our lunch to be served after we ordered that it turned into a waiting hour plus. When the food finally arrived, we all decided that it was not worth the wait. read more

What a great find! My wife and I were looking for a spot to try and stumbled across this gem. So, for starters it's a local type hometown pub/eatery. The food was outstanding. We had soup to start, French onion and clam chowder. Both were done great, chowder had a great fresh seafood flavor. French onion had a great beef broth , onions melted in your mouth and the bread was awesome! Wife had the lobster roll and it was bangin! Served hot with butter, lobster was fresh. I had clam strips and they were the best I have eaten, they were fried lightly to perfection. The fries were done well. They definitely used separate oil to fry the seafood. Which makes a difference. They know what they are doing there. The waitress was awesome, she was very kind and pleasant. We were sooooo impressed by her, she was serving and cleaning and bartending the place by herself! She did not skip a beat and managed to pull it off well! Highly impressive on top of phenomenal food! Recommend but will also definitely return! Very rare I'll give 5 stars but great job all around. Only thing is parking is a little tricky. read more

Very competent restaurant. It's a hole in the wall that's been there for a long time and I can see why. I liked the ambience and the waitstaff was friendly and courteous. Chicken salad had a generous amount of tender chicken and their Parmesan peppercorn sauce was delicious. Fried shrimp was very good and both their tartar sauce and cocktail sauce were high quality. The cole slaw that came with it was also surprisingly good. I asked for onion rings with my shrimp but they gave me sweet potato fries instead, but they were good as well. Definitely want to try this place again. read more

These rolls are fresh, fully packed with heaps of lobster meat, crisp buttery buns, and the most amazing hand cut French fries! I absolutely promise you that you will not be disappointed. The clam strips are in a league of their own and sweet, fresh, delicate, and lightly breaded; AMAZING. Prices are very affordable for what you ge The atmosphere is very cool with bar setting, relaxed environment, friendly and warm staff, and awesome drink selection. My mouth is watering just thinking about this place. Absolutely a must visit!! Came back today and the food is still truly amazing! Got the single lobster roll and it was overflowing with fresh, buttery lobster meat. Had to eat with a fork at first. Sooooo good! The crispy potato wedges perfect as usual and the coleslaw really good. Also got a side of clam strips and they were so great. Light, crispy, meaty, and fresh. Paired all with a cold beer and you can't beat it. Waitress had a bit of an attitude and clearly doesn't want to bebut the food outweighed it and don't want to hurt their review because of it. read more
