    Onion Rings

    Definitely will add this restaurant to my list of go to's for dinner. The Family was pleased with everything. The food was very good and reasonably priced. Highly recommend placing your order and picking up takeout or using a delivery service.

    Onion Rings! Perfectly fried!

    A Shore Thing: Diving into Delight at Lazy Lobster 6…read moreBroadway, Milford CT. Nestled along the shimmering shores of Walnut Beach in Milford, CT, the Lazy Lobster (now under new ownership) beckons with its inviting charm and coastal allure. Upon entering, you're immediately enveloped in a warm, nautical atmosphere adorned with marine-themed decor--think driftwood accents, maritime photographs, and vibrant hues reminiscent of the sea. The gentle sound of waves lapping against the shore creates a soothing soundtrack, while the salty sea breeze mingles with the aroma of fresh seafood, making every breath feel like a mini-vacation. The outdoor dining area, complete with charming tiki umbrellas, invites you to soak up the sun while enjoying your meal, offering a refreshing breeze from Long Island Sound. The restaurant features two bar options: the front bar, which overlooks the street and opens to the outside, allowing you to sip cocktails while enjoying the coastal vibe, and the back bar, a full-service bar that's cozy and enclosed within the restaurant, perfect for a more intimate setting. The menu reads like a treasure map for seafood lovers, boasting dishes as fresh as a sea breeze. The standout is the Lazy Lobster Roll, available in three sizes: the 4-ounce, the 6-ounce, and a generously portioned larger option. Each roll is piled high with succulent lobster and served on a buttery baguette (yes, you read that right--a baguette!). You can also opt for the hotdog bun version, inviting you to dive in with reckless abandon. Accompanying it are crispy fries and tangy coleslaw, creating a delightful contrast to the richness of the lobster. My companion tried the butter-poached lobster tacos, which come with tomato salsa, avocado, and lime-cilantro dressing, showcasing the ocean's bounty wrapped in corn shells--delicious, even if she prefers flour tortillas. To wash it all down, we sipped on cocktails: the Lucky One High Noon Lemonade and the house Margarita, each refreshing as a dip in cool ocean waves. As you savor your meal, tales of Milford's rich maritime history add intrigue to the experience. The area is known for Charles Island and Captain Kidd, with whispers of lost vessels and ghostly apparitions of sailors who never returned. This lore enhances the atmosphere, making each bite a connection to the sea's mysterious past. Quinn, our server, embodies the spirit of the restaurant--welcoming as the tides returning to shore. Her extensive knowledge of the menu is impressive, and her willingness to share stories about the Lazy Lobster's history makes the dining experience feel personal and engaging. Her attentiveness and friendly banter create a sense of community, reminding you that good food is best enjoyed with good company. The Lazy Lobster is more than just a restaurant; it's a "catch of the day" in every sense. With delectable dishes, a vibrant atmosphere, and service that feels like a warm embrace, this beachside gem promises a "whale of a time" that lingers long after the last bite. If you're seeking a taste of the coast with a sprinkle of local charm, this is the place to drop anchor.

    Sharing my dining experience. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great!…read moreWe were seated inside the dining area with the AC. Which is totally fine except from the door being open big black flies were circling all of the costumers including me as I was trying to eat. Everyone dining was frustrated from that. I also want to comment on the decor of the inside, the remodel is new but the tables and chairs feel like a hotel common room space. I didn't understand and didn't match the outside beachy feel. But I'm mostly mentioning the furniture bec the small circle tables by the bench are so small it is difficult to fit both plates, drinks, silverware, etc. It wasn't a comfortable dining experience which I will comment on later in the review. Our waitress was nice but inattentive. We did not really even see her and our food took a long time. (Tables seated after us were served before us or noticeably quicker) during the wait time we did not see or hear from our waitress. Had to ask another person for the missing butter on my plate. I ordered the 1.5 lobster which was $38 and overcooked. It was difficult to break its shell bec of that and I had to ask for scissors. The meat was dry and firm. Also, I did not like the plating as it was so small you didn't have room to put the parts you didn't want and the liquid was making the lettuce stick to everything; on top of an already small table it was just a messy, crowded, fly biting experience lol. I encourage the restaurant to think about redesigning the plate as it is an iconic meal off their menu. I also found it interesting that none of the sandwiches came with fries besides the lobster roll or if you got a burger. And unfortunately they were out of oysters which I wanted to order. The mac and cheese was bland with no flavor. But the clam chowder was yummy! And the Hawaiian burger was good as well.

But as an indoor sit down restaurant, I wanted a little more from the food not just event/catered foods served individually... Overall the food was good/okay. Other than the eggplant fries, nothing screamed come back for more. Service was okay. She definitely wasn't knowledgeable about the drinks and she couldn't bother to ask the bartender (I didn't realize there was a whole bar/ bar section until walking out) I asked if one of their drinks had a specific ingredient and the response was I don't know. And my aunt wanted a mocktail ( non-alcoholic cocktail) for her bday since she doesnt drink and the server said they didn't offer any. Any bartender knows at least 1 mocktail recipe, but like I said she couldn't bother to ask and I didn't realize there was a bar on the other side or I would have just went over and asked myself... If someone had an event here I'd be happy to go, but as a non-event diner I'm not in a rush to go back...
