Milford

About the restaurant

The Rail Trail Flatbread Co., celebrated its grand opening on 12/12/23, marking not only a milestone in Milford's downtown revitalization but also a nod to the original Hudson location's success. Built in a meticulously renovated former bank that features a spacious restaurant and bar, outdoor patio, and upstairs events space, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

The Milford location reflects a two-and-a-half-year renovation effort, preserving historical elements like the century-old clock, vault door, and exposed brick walls. The open dining layout encourages interaction, adorned with family photos for a homey feel.

Though famous for flatbreads, Rail Trail boasts diverse offerings, each component is made in-house. Notable flatbreads include "Fig & Walnut" and "Mexican Street Corn," alongside the popular "Primo Pepperoni." Appetizers like "Hot Tots" and "Sesame Cauliflower" showcase Rail Trail's culinary creativity.

Highly recommended winter experience! We enjoyed a wonderful family birthday celebration (5 guests) inside one of the rooftop restaurant’s igloos. The hostess seated us promptly at our reservation time and the restaurant was festively decorated for the holidays. It was a cold January evening and we were very comfortable inside the igloo with the lap blankets and warming stove - even without our coats. Service was great (thank you, Xavier) and the timing was appropriate for our two hour time slot. Craft cocktails and appetizers were creative and tasty (Brussels sprouts, birria queso and boom-boom shrimp). Main dishes (Japanese fried chicken, chicken teriyaki, Cajun chicken rigatoni) were very good. A couple of us wanted the cast iron roasted chicken but it was sold out. We had pre-ordered the chocolate dessert fondue and it was a nice way to top off our leisurely dinner. This was our first time trying the Mercantile and we all had a fabulous time! Location, garage parking and atmosphere worked well for our group. We’ll be back again for another igloo in the winter and are looking forward to meeting there during warmer weather, too.

I have been dining at Leo's for years. It is a favorite. I usually order a veal dish, but this evening I ordered a salmon dinner and it was really delicious. Leo's is 16 miles from my house and that tells you a lot.
