The words cozy and casual come to mind when describing Bonfire Grill in Milford, Connecticut. This little pub has an atmosphere that is just as cozy as curling up by the fire on a cold night — homey and inviting.
The restaurant, which is located in the Woodmont part of Milford, has an eclectic menu for both food and drinks. While it is classified as a pub, it goes so much further than that.
Sure, the menu has typically pub fair such as apps, drinks, and sandwiches, but they also serve entrees and desserts. The menu has a wide range of variety, from healthy choices such as salads, and hummus plates, to entrees such as the Thai noodle bowl and the mamma Mia eggplant.
And, that’s just the everyday menu. On Saturday and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., that’s brunch time. Their brunch menu has both sweet and savory options, from avocado toast, to apple pie French toast, to chicken and waffles.
However, what drew me to Bonfire Grill was the dessert menu. They have amazing options, including carnival style Oreos (aka fries Oreos), cotton candy swirled cheesecake, and a cast-iron s’mores. I tried the cast iron s’mores (warm crumbled chocolate brownies topped with chocolate fudge, graham cracker crumble and marshmallows, baked in a cast-iron skillet topped with graham crackers and whipped cream), and it was ooey, gooey, and delicious. It was just like eating a s’more sandwich — without the mess.
What really impressed me about Bonfire Grill was the vibes that it gave off. This restaurant is tiny, but oh, so cozy. When my husband and I visited there, it was fully and beautifully decorated for the season. They had twinkling lights and sparkling trees everywhere, bringing in Christmas tree. Furthermore, there is a fireplace that is right near the bar, which makes it the perfect place to get a drink during the winter months where it is so chilly outside.
Between the vibes and the food, Bonfire Grill is truly a place where you can just unwind from the moment you step in to the last delicious bite. Therefore, it is also going to be place that I’m going to be visiting again soon as well.
