Narrative:

Near dennt intersection on the midway 7 departure. We were asked our speed and we replied '300 knots.' just then I looked at my chart and saw 'maintain 250 knots until advised by ATC.' the controller than asked another aircraft (in front or behind?) his speed and he replied 290. He than issued us a speed of 290. It happened too fast for us to attempt to slow to 250 after I noticed the mistake. The controller never said anything about the speed deviation. We briefed the midway 7 departure in detail; but we simply didn't see the speed restriction. I truly believe a main cause is there is not a standard place that speed restrictions are published on the charts. Sometime it's at the top near the header; sometime mixed with the main plan view; and other times in the briefing box area. The efb's are also a contributing factor; as it can be difficult to see the entire chart without cumbersome scrolling. Suggestions: scour the chart for instructions as part of the briefing.
