I have to say the Beach House is one of my favorite restaurants. Besides that the place is beautiful I have to say that the food is equally fantastic....it is consistent....i have eaten there at least 10 times and have always had a great meal. The presentation by the Chef is beautiful and I think the steaks are extremely tasty. It is a destination for me but well worth the trip....you should give it a try.....

Well, we decided to go. They are in this year's Entertainment Book, so 1 entree was free up to $29...figured that would make it reasonable enough that even if it wasn't awesome we'd be fine with it. We made reservations through Opentable, that worked ok but we'd asked for a romantic table and they didn't seem to acknowldge that part. Service was incredibly slow considering it was a Sunday and not terribly busy, the water we were first served was warm...it must have been sitting for a while. My husband ordered the 'toasted mozzarella' appetizer. We were rather surprised when we were served a cold ball of cheese on top of a small sald with roasted sweet peppers. It tasted good, but wasn't what we'd pictured from the description. I had a beefsteak tomato salad, it was delicious but nothing different or special about it. Their bread is served with a small crock of olive oil with roasted shallots in it over a small flame. It never did get warm al though that didn't bother us. The biscuits they served were delicious, very light. My husband was intending to order the mashed potatoes as a side but the waiter told us that all of the entrees came with mashed potatoes and a vegetable caponata...so he didn't bother. He had the NY strip and I had the filet. No complaints at all about the meat...but I can't say it was the best I'd ever had. I also had the gorgonzola cream they offered with mine, it was very light and different. I liked it. The potatoes were fine, as were the veggies...although there were alot of peppers, mostly peppers actually. We did notice that there was a common theme of roasted peppers and/or roasted shallots in almost everything. We chose not to have dessert, we stopped to get me an ice cream cone instead! LOL
Overall it was a pleasant evening, nothing bad about it but nothing to rave about either. And not crazy expensive considering the $29 discount. We didn't have any alcohol and the bill came to $60 which I thought reasonable for what we had. I would not go back, though..there are so many restaurants to try that unless it's really awesome it's not worth it for me.
Our next celebration I'm making reservations at Jeffrey's!

My wife and I tried this recently and were not overly impressed. Not to say the food wasn't good, it was, but it wasn't overwhelming and the service leaves a lot to be desired. For the price you pay I would say it is not worth it.
If you are looking for somewhere in the Milford area to go for a special dinner, try Jefffrey's on New Haven Ave. Terrific.

re: Brens Mom
I haven't been in a few years. But I do remember my date having a terrific steak frites w/ a generous smattering of melted gorgonzola. Jeffrey's over beach house (imho). Tight tables. Quaint. Decent service. It's the kind of place where people talk in hushes so not to have other tables over hear.
