Blind Rhino Milford: A Sports Fan's Dream Come True!…read more For anyone on the hunt for the perfect venue to watch a game in Milford, the newly opened Blind Rhino at 21 Daniel St. is an absolute must-visit! This lively spot has taken over the former Eli's Tavern, and the excitement surrounding it is palpable. Earlier in the day, while strolling with our dog, we couldn't help but notice the buzz about Blind Rhino. After completing our invigorating 3-mile walk, we hurried home, eager to dive into this new sports haven. Upon entering, we were immediately enveloped by the vibrant atmosphere--crowded, loud, and filled with the irresistible aroma of wings and spirited conversations. If you're a devoted New York Knicks or Pittsburgh Steelers fan, this place is basically a new home away from home! With TVs strategically positioned throughout the restaurant and a mean a lot of TV's , you can catch every thrilling moment of the game, whether it's a jaw-dropping slam dunk or a nail-biting last-minute touchdown. Now, a word about parking--while it can be a bit of a challenge in Milford, those willing to take a short stroll from the town center will find themselves at this sports paradise in no time, likely faster than a Steelers linebacker can sack a quarterback. And being right across from the Stonebridge, a Milford staple. We were pleasantly surprised to discover that they were running a happy hour special--$5 beers and ciders! And discounted appetizers. In the spirit of supporting local businesses, I chose a Tribus Benjie, which paired perfectly with our meal. To kick things off, we ordered a round of dry rub chicken wings that were spicier than a Knicks fan's reaction to a missed call. These wings were not only tender but also bursting with flavor, setting a high bar for the rest of our dining experience. Now, let's talk about my main course--the Cheese Steak. This delectable sandwich was piled high with thinly-sliced ribeye, sweet Vidalia onions, and a generous portion of new American cheese ( as they posted on the menu ) . It was so good that I almost forgot I was in Connecticut and not at a bustling eatery in Philadelphia! My dining companion opted for the Lomo wrap, which was a delightful mix of grilled ribeye, sautéed red onions, and tomatoes, all wrapped up with fries and drizzled with a zesty cilantro sauce. Who knew fries could be so revolutionary? Both sandwiches came accompanied by homemade fries that were perfectly crispy and delightfully salty. A special shoutout goes to our server, Ashley, who was as cheerful as a Steelers fan celebrating a touchdown. Her friendly and attentive service truly enhanced our experience. Now, let's address the intriguing name of the establishment--Blind Rhino. We couldn't help but wonder if there's a fascinating story behind it. Is it a nod to the quirky side of sports culture, or perhaps a reference to an adventurous tale? Whatever the origin, it certainly piques curiosity and adds a unique charm to the place! In summary, if you're looking to escape the confines of your home, indulge in delectable pub grub, and cheer for your favorite sports teams, make your way to Blind Rhino! With no bad seats in sight and a lively atmosphere, you're in for a fantastic time. Let's go Knicks! Let's go Steelers!

A Place That Feels Like Home…read more The Spotted Horse Tavern was a fantastic find. My brother, who lives locally, recommended it, and I'm so glad he did. I've been there twice now, and both visits were memorable for all the right reasons. The lobster rolls were excellent, the craft beer selection on tap was outstanding, and everything was served with a smile. One of the things I love most about the place is the atmosphere. It's a charming old home that has been beautifully transformed into a restaurant, with plenty of character and a warm, rustic feel. The moment you walk in, it feels comfortable and welcoming. The service was exceptional both times I visited. In fact, a few months ago I tried to stop by again, but the road was closed for pedestrian traffic only and parking was impossible to find. We ended up going to Little Barn up the road instead, which was also a great experience. Later, I discovered that both Little Barn and Spotted Horse were created by my high school classmate, Kevin M. What a small world! Nice job, Kevin. I had no idea you were in the restaurant business, but you've clearly built something special. Regardless of that connection, Spotted Horse stands on its own as a wonderful place to enjoy a meal. Great food, excellent drinks, friendly service, and genuine hometown hospitality. If you're in Westport, treat yourself and stop by. Chances are you'll leave already looking forward to your next visit. Cheers!

I know this happens in the hospitality business, but at least be subtle about it. They were not.

I was at HaborFest a few weeks ago where they had a tent and decided it was time to try them. They were giving tasting samples of a few of their beers. One of the favorites was the their sour beer. I'm not into sours, but it quickly sold out. Instead, I got to try both the LAUNCH IPA and the Figure Four, which were both good. The next obvious thing to do was check out their tasting room/brewery location. It's in this industrial area, but not hard to find. The tasting room is on the smaller side. probably fits about 20-25 people max. There were a few tables both outside and inside. However, we found out that you couldn't take the beers outside. Not sure if it was the time of day (we went in the evening) or what. I ended up getting a flight, which I throughly enjoyed! They have a lot of different beers on rotation. A few that I can recall on the top of my head were a peanut butter stout, a sour (OGW), an OJ one, and a few others. There are a few parking spots in front and a lot down the street I think. They also have a bookshelf with a few games to keep yourself occupied if you wanted. Would definitely come back here with a few friends!

No issue with food. And the seating area/couches are kept pretty well maintained so you feel comfortable actually staying awhile. I only went in the morning so the place was still a cafe and shared workspace then. I think in the evening it transforms into a brewery. Inside it's very large and spacious, definitely quiet enough people could work but large enough you don't feel crowded. Most tables were already filled with 1-2 people working on tablets and laptops by the time I got there, but thankfully I was able to find some comfortable seating. If you want to snag a spot I suggest you arrive early - seems to be a popular place. I wish it was just a tiny bit easier for me to get in, but that's not a big deal as well. I had a stroller with me - you can enter from the back ramp if you're unable to take stairs for any reason but you just need to call them because the door is locked otherwise. Not a real issue, but I think I just wish it was open in general so I don't feel like an inconvenience to employees. I understand the business decision however. Overall, highly recommend.

I've walked by their parking lots and had to navigate my way past cars coming to eat here. And then there's a few times where I had ordered from this place on UberEats. It would be their pulled pork Mac and cheese I would get delivered 3 miles up the road to where I work, and I thoroughly enjoyed it every time I've had it. Last night, I had finally come here in person. After an in-service function at my job, me and my best friend from work went here for dinner. Honestly, it was a much needed night. I will say that parking for the dinner rush is pure hell. If you do manage to find a good parking spot during dinner rush, go buy a lottery ticket. But once we did find a space to park (the downpour from earlier made me have to both channel my inner Olympic gymnast and wish I could levitate so that I could miss the rain puddle where I was to get out), it wasn't too bad to get in. You have a little Photo Booth before you even get into the restaurant proper which we saw a kid using upon our arrival. The interior is definitely reminiscent of rustic British atmospheres. Not like being transported back to the medieval times so much as going to an old town British bar where you might either drink 80 beers with a group of vikings or end up as part of the chaos during Gaston's song sequence from Beauty and the Beast. It took a moment to decide what we wanted, but we were seated right away since we were just two people. I decided to start myself off with "The Jasmine Blossom", which has a Japanese gin base. Ever tried drinking a flower? Ever thought that that flavor tasted good? That's what I got from this drink. As for food, my friend had the Buttermilk Ranch Crunch Wrap, opting for sweet potato fries for a side, and my order was the hot honey chicken sandwich with the regular fries. I wanted to do something different from what I had previously had delivered this time around. I would say we both enjoyed our meals, but I do definitely think while my fries did have a good crisp to it, the sweet potato fries were the better fry. As described by my friend, the Crunch Wrap she had was sweet. Not in a sickening way, but sweet in how a way that makes a crunch wrap tasty. As for my sandwich, it looked like a burger at first. That was until I took a closer look at it and saw that this was indeed chicken. I dislocated my jaw and took my first bite. The hot honey made the overall sandwich sweet. Not sickeningly sweet, but the kind of sweet that makes a hot honey chicken sandwich tasty. I will say that the bottom of my sandwich struggled to hold its contents. It flopped in the middle, and it was a lot of work trying to hold it together to finish. The chicken was indeed juicy, and probably contributed to why the bottom struggled to keep itself together. But DAMN was it good! The prices honestly weren't bad either. For what I had, it came out to $33.32 which might seem like a lot until you realize it was both the sandwich and the cocktail on my tab. And no, I did not make that total up! That's what it showed on my tab. Speaking of, I do like the nice touch of getting post cards and a "Little Pub" sticker given to us on our tabs. Mine had Godzilla on it. They were pretty funny like that. We were in and out in maybe a slight bit over an hour, which honestly isn't bad given everything typed in this review. I'd definitely get food from here again, but maybe next time I try it I'd do well to wait for a time not so busy to come.
