The Milling Room

I found The Milling Room as i was searching for somewhere to carry my wife for her birthday. Usually, when I give a review, I speak firstly about the sights and the sound, but this time, I need to mention the chef. I had the steak. It impacted every one of my senses. The aroma is intoxicating, and it tastes superb. All in all, it's one of the best, if not the best, steak I have ever had. Complimented by romantic setting and the professional staff. You made our visit an experience. Thank you

If you want to experience a 5 Star Restaurant in France 🇫🇷 go to the Milling room on the upper West Side , A1 Service by Moussa & Staff. What a wonderful dinner I had with my family. The service was impeccable. Our server was so knowledgeable about the menu and took his time to explain each dish that we were curious about. The staff is excellent! Moussa the manager made sure we were well taken care of and came to our table multiple times to ask us if we needed anything else. The cocktails and food were absolutely delicious! The Chef Florian Hugo did an amazing job bringing wonderful fall flavors to the new menu. I highly recommend the Besos Caliente cocktail, the Tomato Feuillete appetizer, the prime striploin steak and the bourbon apple tart for dessert! If you’re looking for delicious French fine dining the Milling room will exceed your expectations! Absolutely fantastic 5 stars!

Ambiance and service were great. I was here for brunch at 11:30am and it was very sleepy, which is great for conversation. The food and cocktails were OK/good, nothing special, but it was also reasonably priced so would return.

I had the pleasure of photographing Hanna and Dan’s beautiful fall wedding at The Milling Room, and I can’t recommend it enough! This spacious and bright restaurant was the perfect setting for their special day. The oversized skylight provided stunning natural light, creating a magical atmosphere for their I do’s. Despite it being November, the thoughtful design of the space made every photo look so bright and vibrant. It’s truly a hidden gem for weddings! ig @konradbrattke

Standard upscale American fare with a nice atrium like ambience for their dining room. Food was tasty, portions average on size and service was good. We ordered a number of different entrees to share across our party. Biggest downside is that you have to order all of your food at the same time. In other words, you can’t order starters first and then your main later. Perhaps this helps drive customers through the restaurant faster but feels a little inflexible to me.

Went here with a group of 6 and really enjoyed. The octopus and pastas were the standouts. We all ordered the steak, and thought it was just fine. Nice that it comes with mashed potatoes. Decent value and very cool atmosphere.

Milling room is a very underrated gem tucked away in UWS, right across from the museum. I've gone for both happy hour (every day from 4:30-6:30pm) and dinner: both are excellent. Happy hour is in the front at the bar, the menu is solid and the bartenders are always on their A game. Dinner is in their majestic, large dining room in the back and is one of the most visually appealing places to dine in the city (in my humble opinion). For happy hour, get yourself a $10 cocktail and pair it with their burger and fries combo. The cocktail is super high quality and a great deal considering that an equivalent elsewhere runs for $15 or higher. The burger is up there with the greats. Will def back back here many more times.

I really enjoyed the Milling Room. The atmosphere is quite beautiful and calming. The service was attentive and polite. The food- so wonderful. I opened with the butternut squash soup with crab chunks and pumpkin seeds. It was ok; a bit of salt would have brought out the flavors that I felt were present but dull. Next, I tried the grilled octopus. It was solid. My main was the squid ink pasta with gulf shrimp. It was 10/10. So delicious! I closed with the bread pudding which was a lovely sweet ending. I enjoyed two rounds of their drink called "the charade." I look forward to returning to explore more the food and drink menu as well as experience the ambiance with the sun is up.

The Milling Room, located on Manhattan's Upper West Side, offers an exceptional dining experience that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The restaurant's open dining area, featuring a soaring skylight, creates an inviting atmosphere that enhances the culinary journey. At the heart of this establishment is Chef Florian V. Hugo, a native of Provence, France, and a direct descendant of the renowned novelist Victor Hugo. I first met Florian at his other Resturant only on its last night for the best taco of my life l was lucky to have his duck tonight. Chef Hugo's personal engagement with us added a touch to the evening. His passion for cooking and dedication to excellence were evident as he discussed the inspiration behind our experience. The menu showcases Chef Hugo's mastery of French culinary techniques, featuring dishes that are both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition. The seared duck breas was cooked to perfection, offering a tender and flavorful experience. Everything was prepared with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. The beverage program is equally impressive, with a curated selection of wines and cocktails The service was amazingly attentive. The food was spectacular. This is my now go to when in NY period

Vibe: 8/10 - very cute and quiet; loved the skylight Service: 8.5/10 Value: 3.5/10 - pretty pricey, even for NYC! Brussels spouts: 7.5/10 Potato purée: 7/10 Duck breast: 7.5/10 Pork chop: 6/10 Overall: 6.86/10 (3.43/5) [To clarify our review system: 10 = we'll never have anything else as good as this in our lives (we use 10 very sparingly!) 9 = extraordinary 8 = great 7 = above average 6 = average Anything below 6 is being critical]

I've laterally gone here for birthdays the last 3 years. The service is always soo good. I remember we had a 9:45pm resv. and were literally the last ones to leave , the staff were so patient and went right along with it, made sure I enjoyed my night. That's rare! The food is always yum! I mean it must be the reason I keep going back. The ambiance is beautiful. And I've been here about two times when it's rained and it's amazing sitting under that skylight. Snowing is on my list.. overall, I'm impressed with everything and I will continue to return.

The space is gorgeous, I'll give them that. But it was close to sweltering during our visit, where the exposed windows made it feel even warmer inside. Brunch menu consists of various Benedicts and not enough non-egg items. My lox was really great, and the fries were hot and seasoned well. Everyone enjoyed the food and the service was lovely, and I'd consider returning if the temperature is figured out.

We had an amazing experience at The Milling Room. The restaurant is gorgeous! The main dining room is a large room that is bathed in light with the help from skylights. We arrive early to the UWS. Once we checked in at the host stand, we were directed toward the bar. I ordered a scotch, I'm guessing Lagavulin? I ordered it neat and it was smokey, nice starter. We took our drinks and were escorted to the main dining room. We started with a delicious cheese board. The cheese that was chosen was high end, I loved the blue cheese! The roasted beet starter was also a great choice, the beets were sweet, I could eat just this dish and be happy. I ordered the Squid Ink Linguine, another solid dish. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the squid ink pasta has a briny - salty note and the fish made this a treat that was fun to eat. I highly recommend The Milling Room, its a beautiful space with terrific food

We came here as a group of 4 on a Saturday night to grab dinner before catching a show at the Beacon Theatre. For starters we ordered the Grilled Octopus, buratta and flatbread. For mains we all got something different - mussels were very tender and delicious! Service was great too but it was pretty cold inside

Another 5 star experience! Great decor, food, service, and atmosphere. When you enter the main dinning room you feel like you are watching a movie shot in Manhattan. Warm, sophisticated and our server Kyle was great. Very caring, no time limits here at all. It was a great night with friends and everything went right. We ordered a few appetizers including the beet salad, Burrata salad, the salmon tartare and the risotto. The risotto was so good we ordered one as a side for the table to share. For main courses we had the Squid Ink Linguini with shrimp, the halibut, the Chatham codfish. For desert had the apple tart. Spent about 2 1/2 relaxed non rushed hours here. Great menu, wine and beer and drink selection, great bar. The staff were really awesome and it was a great night. I highly recommend them.

The Milling Room is such a lovely restaurant in UWS. I love the beautiful, open, spacious dining area. I came for brunch with a friend and we had a very comfortable dining experience, with their large tables spaced out nicely and high ceilings. At many other restaurants in the city, tables are right next to each other, so we really liked how the tables were spread out and we could enjoy a conversation without having to yell over other voices. I ordered the Creamy Risotto ($21+), with asparagus, English peas, fava beans and parmigiano. It had a poached egg on top, which was nice. The dish itself was a bit bland, though. I would recommend asking for extra parmesan. I would love to make this one of my go-to brunch spots, but will need to find a dish I really like.

Cocktails and Brunch always make me happy. The Milling Room did not Disappoint. It's beautiful inside. The menu options were hard to choose from. The cocktails were different and fun. Custom flavored ice cubes made them extra! Service was on point. Loved the vibe of this restaurant!

Wanted to try something new on UWS. From The outside, it doesn't appear esthetic but from the inside it's airy and has a beautiful, relaxing esthetic. We ordered: Beet salad: 4/5...the goat cheese was overpowering with the beets in my opinion Salmon tar tar: 3.5/5.... Good but a little too acidic in my taste Pan seared cod: 4/5 perfect flaky texture but was lacking seasoning Brussel sprouts: 5/5 super tasty Server was knowledgeable and professional. Prompt service. I would definitely return and try more dishes

Most of the time when I'm in NYC, I'm never on the UWS. A friend recommended the Milling Room and my friends and I were not disappointed. When you enter the restaurant the first thing that you will see is a big bar area. Go up the stairs behind the hostess stand and you walk into a large dining room with a big skylight. The natural light makes for the best décor. The room has great vibe with the light and even at night it still feels bright and airy. We started with the grilled octopus and hamachi crudo. My favorite was the Hamachi. For dinner, I opted for the roast duck. It was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and I have to say - one of the best roast duck dishes I have had in a long time. My friends decided to go the pasta route with one getting the veal bolognese and the other the squid ink pasta. For dessert we split the apple tarte tatin. My only complaint was the service...really just our server. Everyone else was great. While a very nice person, our server just vanished for most of the night and didn't really come back to check on us. We had to flag down the sommelier to get our second bottle of wine and continually asked the bus boys and other servers, "do you know where our server is"? Despite the poor service, I would still come back for the atmosphere and great food.

Perhaps it was a mistake to come here for brunch instead of dinner, but we were underwhelmed. While the service was good and the decor was nice, the food left much to be desired, especially given the prices. Sharing a photo of my "Cobb salad" for reference-- pretty disappointing. Note: they also included bacon after I asked for it to be removed.

Lovely dinner in a beautiful space Sunday evening. The cocktails are phenomenal! There's one with a jalapeño infused large ice cube that is so good. I'd love to have the recipe. The food is also very good. We had the pork chop and a lamb pasta dish.

This restaurant's looks way exceed its culinary offerings and value. Food is way overpriced and a bland tart with a squirt of caramel sauce on the plate in no way resembles the listed tarte tatin on the menu. The shrimp pasta dish was bland, the vegetable gratin very frugal in size and the lamb ragu acceptable but overpriced. Such a pity. This place - when it was Calle Ocho years ago - had a vibe, excellent, inventive pan-Latino cuisine, a great point of view and a price-value proposition that was fair. The Milling Room is a Muddled Room that won't last in today's competitive environment

Very mixed thoughts on this restaurant. The ambiance is amazing and a much needed upper scale place to the UWS. If I based my review on that alone, I would rate this 5 stars. The food was also excellent - particularly the squid ink pasta with shrimp. If the shrimp was grilled, it would have been a lot better but the sauce was amazing. The reason I did not rate this 5 stars is because of the service. It was awful. We waited very long for the waiter to address us. Ordered a bottle of wine for the table and not once did someone come over to refill our glasses - we had to do it on our own (which I can do at home). Additionally, we had a 40th birthday guest at our table and I asked to make an obnoxious delivery of the birthday dessert - which someone (not even our waiter) just placed the dessert in front of her and walked away. If you are looking to spend 3 hours at dinner solely because the service is so bad, then this is your place. If you are looking for a normal night out or a birthday dinner - - not your place!

Expensive but soooo good. This is fine dining in a casual environment - a real gem in an otherwise often lackluster dining neighborhood. I had been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while and hadn't realized that it has now been open for several years. This was my first time there. I arrived around 5:30 PM and sat at the bar. There were only a few people there. When I left around 7:00 PM, the bar area was pretty busy. My experience there was quite pleasant, but I do think there are a few too many chairs at the bar. If it gets really busy, you would feel scrunched in. The bartender was amazing - friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable of his craft. I ordered 2 West Side Daquiris because they were delicious. I don't remember the exact ingredients. I then ordered the Scallops Ceviche appetizer - absolutely delicious - 5 thin, very fresh pieces of scallops served with some corn, cucumbers and a great sauce. It wasn't very filling, and I didn't want to spend a fortune on an entree; so decided to order the Potatoes Dauphinoise - filling and really tasty. For dessert I had creme brulee and espresso - both good, although I wasn't all that keen on the burnt chocolate chips on top of the brulee. In most restaurants I leave a 15% to 16% tip, but here I left 20% because both the service and food deserved recognition. As soon as I have available funds, I want to return and try other dishes.

Came here on Valentine's day with my wife, to our surprise, it was a pre-fixed menu. However, that didn't stop us from eating here. When we entered, we were greeted by the hostess, it ambiance was low-light, but gave the vibe for a romantic evening. I must note that this is a fine-dining experience. We didn't know this at the time, but be warn that you will spend a lot of money compare to a regular american restaurant. Going back to the service, we probably got served the appetizer maybe 40-50 mins after we arrived. Everything we got was good as well as the dessert. The portion was also a plus. As someone who loves to eat, I was stuffed with the pre-fix menu. I don't think you will go wrong with whatever option you choose. Overall, if you are looking for a romantic date setting or want to do a fancy dinner or lunch, I recommend this place. The food is good and the right portion, but despite this, I felt something was missing to make the food pop and make me feel like I was having a full fine dining experience. I didn't experience a dish that would drive me crazy to go back. Decors definitely get a 5/5.

The Milling Room is a lovely spot to dine. It has elegant living room vibes, with spacious bookshelves and books adorning various parts of the main dining room, and an open ceiling with windows that supposedly* let an abundance of sunlight in during the day, and allow you to see the stars at night (well, for a city). *Supposedly because when I came with my party, it was a pouring night. The food and beverages were delicious! Drinks: I started with an Apple Cider Manhattan, which did not disappoint. I followed up with a (means "creamy champagne"), which was also great! Apps: they're ALL GOOD! Our table split the Creamy Risotto (wild mushrooms, parmesan, black truffle oil); Burrata & Heirloom Tomato Salad (with basil pesto, sherry reduction); the Duck and Fig Pâté (with pickled onion, whole grain mustard, cornichon, baguette); and the Red Oak Lettuce Salad (with fig, hazelnut, gouda, banyuls vinaigrette). My tablemate got the Salmon Tartare (with avocado, pickled red onions, taro root, cilantro, citrus soy vinaigrette) as her entrée and loved it. Entrées: also delicious! I got the Duck Lumache (with duck confit, caramelized fennel, rosemary breadcrumbs); others got the Squid Ink Linguine Vongole (with littleneck clams, parsley breadcrumbs, calabrian chili oil) (actually used a reasonable amount of the ink-- turned the pasta black!); and the Ricotta Gnocchi (with butternut squash, braised endive, pecorino romano, sage). Desserts: the 2 we tried were lovely! We split 2 for the table: Pistachio Crème Brûlée (with blackberry, mint) & the Banana Sticky Toffee Pudding (Baileys ice cream, candied walnuts, bananas) (it was a toss-up for me between the pudding and the cheese plate, but when I passed it to the group, 2 voices chimes up: "sticky toffee pudding!!"--so that won in a landslide!). Both were delicious! Always respect the "dessert stomach" if you can! The service was mostly good. The staff were all very friendly and they got the orders all correct, despite us having a slightly larger party of 7. Only drawback was that they were a little slow in the second half-- we ordered a second round of drinks slightly before/during the entree delivery, but they didn't arrive until after we had pretty much finished our entrées. We also had to wait a bit longer to get our cheque, though the waitress did say that was because she didn't want to rush us. All in all the food, drinks, and decor were wonderful. Would definitely return & would definitely recommend! (Just don't expect a quick meal)

I say this with the utmost honesty and sincerity- this is the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been to. The ambiance is unmatched. Absolutely stunning. Often a nice esthetic means compromise of taste. Not true for the Milling Room. They have it all. Beauty, bang-for-your-buck, and taste! The food was Delish with a capital D. I got the almond French toast which was superb and my husband got the huevos rancheros. Delicioso. I wouldn't change a thing about our amazing experience. This is now our go-to brunch spot on the UWS. One more thing- Ali was fab. The sweetest, kindest waiter around. He should get a raise :)

My husband and I were having a special dinner to celebrate the life our our dog that we had just lost and we decided to do so at The Milling Room. Everything was just perfect! The food is great, the ambiance is gorgeous and the service was just excellent. We started our meal with cocktails (martini's) which were made to perfection; we also had an appetizer which were these delicious Arancini with porcini and truffle (100% order if they are on the menu) very delicious and the aioli was perfect. For our main courses: I had the gnocchi and I must say it was very delicious and different than any other gnocchi I have ever had! My husband had the roasted chick; I am vegetarian but I tried the mashed potatoes that the chick sat on and they were heavenly! My husband said the chick was cooked to perfection. We also shared the crispy potatoes which were so good! The aioli that they come with is the right amount of spicy. I would highly recommend checking out The Milling Room as it is an amazing spot on the Upper West Side. Thanks for the fantastic evening.

Very spacious and home-like vibe to the restaurant. I really enjoyed my meal and experience eating here. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. It's just a beautiful atmosphere from the moment you enter the building.

The ambience and service are excellent. The food is quite rich (cooked with oil and butter). There are very few healthy choices, and the restaurant is fairly noisy. My salad was swimming in dressing. The lasagna is served in a heavy cream sauce. The brussel sprouts are deep fried. The prices are high.

Great spot - bar at the front, main dining in the rear - opens up to a big open dining area. Price is very reasonable for what you get. Our server was amazing - it was 12 of us for dinner. She did a great job checking in on us and bringing more drinks. Had a few drinks and a lot of dessert. Main course was decent - had the Ricotta Gnocchi. But most memorable would be the desserts. Tried a few: pistachio creme brulee( this was nice and light),chocolate cake (was good, but may have been a bit on the richer side for me), apple tart(nothing to write home about), passion fruit panna cotta(it's good if you like tart from passion fruit). The Winner was the custard bread pudding - much better than I've had anywhere else. Couldn't put my finger on why.

We first had a drink at the bar. We needed to kill time because we had 7:00 reservations & our show was @9:30. The bartenders were friendly & the bar area was large. When it came time to be seated we walked through a long hallway & entered a very large & impressive atrium . The space was draped in typical sunflower yellow lighting. We were placed in the back of the restaurant against the wall which was perfect for us. The tables were so close together that at least we didn't have someone to one side. While browsing through the menu my wife realized water was dripping down onto our table. We didn't say until the 3rd or 4th drop. They moved us to a dry table & we sat right next to another couple who had the same problem. Although we didn't want to be rushed it was hard to get our waiters attention. Our meals were ok but I don't think we will be going back. The place was too loud. I'm sure it would be a nice atmosphere in the daytime as the atrium would be glowing with natural light but the night lighting could be better. The men's bathroom has a sign saying watch your step, heed the warning. As you open the door a set of stairs is right in front of you. It was a good thing our waiter wasn't quick on the drinks or I would have went head first down the six steps. Good luck.

A beautiful space and great location but service is a joke. Non-service is what it is. Menu is very limited although I didn't even eat because after service me flat Prosecco, no one ever came back to my table and I was arms up in the air trying to wave someone down EVERY TIME they walked right by me.

Cozy modern ambiance Lovely bar area American menu I had saffron lobster riosotto-it was very good Service was mediocre Wine by the glass was certainly good selection and nice pour I would totally return for a happy hour!

Stopped in for a cocktail. House made Bloody Mary. It was very flavorful. A touch spicy. Strong horseradish flavor, which I loved

Asami gave excellent service and food is delicious . I had the duck and it was done wonderfully. The dining room is beautiful.

The ambience and customer service was excellent. The food was absolutely delicious. I had the white sangria, a caprese salad with avocado, and the tiramisu desert. Our waitress was super knowledgeable and attentive. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant was kid friendly as well as adult friendly. I definitely recommend 11/10

Definitely recommend for a dinner date if on the UWS! Overall great experience. I'm giving it 4/5 as I didn't have that wow moment with the food, but everything was very yummy. Huge AC'd dining room, that is very romantic at night. Incredible wait staff. Our waitress was named Dee and she was amazing! Recommendations: Rock shrimp - make sure you dip the bread in the sauce :) Table bread was AMAZING! Squid ink pasta - my partner loved it Gnocchi carbonara - very unique and delicious. Wish there was more gnocchi though! Enjoy my foodies!!

I'm not sure what went wrong, we've been here a number of times and always had a solid experience, great food, good service, beautiful cocktails. We came to the bar and ordered drinks on the high table by the window, we did not get any service. The drinks took forever and were awful, simply disgusting. They never took our food order. We walked out of the place for the first time, we usually give places the benefit of the doubt, sometimes there're kitchen delays, sometimes things don't run smoothly but to be there for close to an hour without anyone taking our food order and then getting these awful cocktails, it was truly abysmal. Sorry milling room, not coming back.

A FINGERNAIL IN MY FOOD! Absolutely appalling experience! This place failed me not once, not twice, but THREE times in one evening! First, I witnessed an employee leaving the bathroom without washing their hands. The thought that this might have been a kitchen worker made my skin crawl. Second, the scallops I ordered turned out to be raw, which should have been mentioned on the menu. I sent them back and ordered shrimp instead, only to receive a minuscule portion of a bland, uninspired dish. But the final, most disgusting failure was finding a full fingernail in my pasta! I actually pulled it out of my mouth! This ruined my entire evening, and now I don't even know if I can eat out again! They did not argue then - because it was obvious, but while we still were at the restaurant, they canceled our reservation so we couldn't write a review. After we contacted them the next day trying to write a complaint - they replied that I was dreaming and it wasn't a fingernail (it was a longer fingernail, most likely female) because they don't have women at the kitchen. What a lame excuse!!!! It could have been a male fingernail from a pinky. Now, they are trying to convince me that it was a lamb cartilage even though all four of us saw it and the manager saw it! And if it was a cartilage I'm sure they wouldn't offer us a free bottle of wine! What a sneaky bastards! This was a horrendous experience! This business should be fined and shut down immediately.

Food was very special. The octopus and the salmon tartar were especially good. It was busy and hectic but good service was maintained throughout. The room is spectacular with the ultra high ceilings and the dramatic vertical feel.

Ate here recently and the service and food quality has been substantially elevated. Excellent service and a solid menu of huge variety. But portions are small and they do charge for bread. The bread is worth it. Fully recommend A 9.3 out of 10

Overall the food was solid. I split the short rib hash and the crispy brussels with my sister. Both were tasty though a bit on the salty side. They tasted better combined as the lemony Brussel sprouts helped lighten up the short rib hash and added a nice acidity to the dish. Service was good and the ambiance was very nice. There is a large skylight which brings in a lot of natural light into the large industrial styled room. I tried a bite of the burger as well. It was surprisingly good... not incredible but I liked the addition of the thousand island dressing. Overall, I will definitely be returning to try their dinner menu.

Such a beautiful place to have brunch! Service was great and they are very professional and nice. The hollandaise sauce on the benedicts were just SO good. All my friends and I finished our whole plate and it was surprisingly more filling than it looked. Would love to come back here to try their other dishes.

Ambiance - Filthy. The group of bus boys and waiters/waitresses only clean the tables by pushing the crumbs to the floor. They don't even look at the cloth seats, which wreak od old spillage. Service - Female waitresses are better and more attentive and quicker. Food. The food is excellent, but the pairings are strictly enforced as if you aren't paying a high price for the meal. Substitutions aren't allowed even if they go get your manager. UNFAIR AND BIASED treatment. If there is anyone of brown MELANIN,okay BLACK or LATINO, the waiters get to them last. Been there 4 times with my friend and I tried to ignore it but this happened . ..Go elsewhere. Nice Matin is a better option with a similar menu but greater taste, service, ambiance, and attention.

Marvelous ambience, great food. The beet and buratta appetizer were perfection. Risotto was nice, with a wine base, even if the clams were a tad chewy. The Brussels and pomegranate app was nice and crisp with a complex flavor profile. The Lumache with lobster and rock shrimp was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted. Molten chocolate cake was light and just sweet enough- reminiscent of a soufflé! I would pass on the pistachio crème brûlée- it was good, but not worth the calories. Overall, the meal was wonderful and the restaurant is beautiful. Definitely worth a stop on the Upper West!

All the food was very good! Super flavorful and cooked perfectly. This space is also super spacious and gorgeous. I will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone. It was also nice that they offered mock tails that weren't just juice.

The ambiance is classy and elegant. Perfect for a birthday brunch! The pastry basket was AMAZING!

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday cause the food looked great and the vibe seemed intimate & calm! I was totally blown away by how nice and lowkey the place looks. You would never think it has such a huge place with high ceilings if you're looking at it from the outside. Not to mention everything we ordered was amazing. From the drinks to the food, this place is truly special.

Well this is a spot I have walked past several times and finally made it in. I read through reviews from some of you to help guide our choices. The gnocchi was amazing but a bit heavy for me to have a full plate of it. I'm glad we split this one but it really is a great dish. Next, skate wing which is a meater fish was excellent and a perfect portion. Lastly, the Brussel sprouts were an amazing addition for us to share all this food it was a really nice casual dinner with a friend I haven't seen in a while. I highly recommend this spot.

The ambiance is comfortable and noise level conducive for conversations without requiring a shouting match. The service and food are both excellent. Waitress amiable, offered good suggestions, including the short rib which was delicious. The chilled pea soup was light and flavorful, good choice for a record hot summer. Overall, great dining experience.

Never had been for dinner before. Nice wine and Prosecco for my friend. We had animated waitress who sold us one the rock shrimp app which we split. Each of us had cod and I had branzino on reg menu. No desert but had coffee can't wait to go back

Negative 100 stars. This was horrible. This meal we just had at the milling room was truly horrible. The food was beyond subpar for the price. We constantly eat at lots of nice, expensive places and this restaurant charged the same price we'd pay at Perry street or a JEAN GEORGES place, and it was BAD. I'm embarrassed and frustrated that we even paid money for this food.... Especially with my son here visiting, I expected more out of a restaurant like this on the uws for this price.

Stunning space and interior with soaring ceilings - very rare for Manhattan! The food is also very good and thoughtfully prepared.

I'll start by saying that this restaurant is stunning. It has a beautiful ambiance and vibe. The service is pretty good too. But I wasn't very impressed with the food or drinks. We tried a few cocktails and they were just OK so we switched to wine. Our apps were very small side but decent. I expected their squid ink pasta to be amazing but it was just so-so. It was lacking in flavor and the clams didn't taste very fresh.

Ate here before seeing Shakespeare in the Park. Service was fabulous, and they accommodated the short time we had for dinner before the show. We shared: - salmon tartare - grilled octopus - squid ink pasta with clams - grilled branzino We each had one of their non-alcoholic cocktails too. Everything was fresh and delicious. I would definitely come back to try the rest of their menu.

Nice joint, little bit touristy. Service was solid, food was a bit overpriced for the quality but appropriate for the location.
