Reviews
Oyster strawberry
Arctic char sashimi. Strawberries
Little clams chowder. Roasted and crispy sun chokes. Gouda clams. Like razor clams. Little salty. But not tooo much. So good. Clams not chewy.
Stripped bass ceviche. Wine lemon grass sauce. So light and citrus taste. Vibrant
Pickled strawberries to cleans palate between sushi
Sushi:
Porgy
Trout from Hudson valley. Smoke applewood
Spanish mackerel from North Carolina
Bluefin tuna from North Carolina
Fatty cut of same tuna taste comparison is really interesting
Amberjack from California . Sunflower seeds. Citrus taste
Torch seared main uni. Which is Urchin. If you haven’t had it’s worth trying
South Carolina shrimp. Crispy shallots shrimp chili oil. This is not too spicy
Main mussels poached glazed in it’s own cooking juice
Tuna tartar. Chip made from fish. Chip is salty and pairs well with the tuna. In roe.
Chowanmushi sable fish
Toasted barley ice cream with caviar. Crazy good combination.
If you found this helpful follow me. I don’t give many 5* because I reserve that for the very best in food, service and experience. I try to be quick to the most important stuff, the food. Then add notes about the rest. Enjoy!
Every dish was a flavor explosion – my taste buds were on cloud nine.
The wine and sake pairings were spot-on, like they knew exactly what my palate needed with each bite!
Gorgeous interior, intimate space and the service from Baxter our waiter and James the phenomenal chef were fantastic. If you’re looking for a memorable dining adventure you won’t be disappointed!
It enters everything here, the food, which carries dimensions of smokiness the way a good novel carries subtext, present even when you’re not looking for it. The sake, too, recommended by our waiter with the authority of someone who has tasted his way through the list and emerged with an opinion. The sake arrived smoky and sure of itself, in a room that could double as a coffee shop: intimate, unhurried, the kind of place where you might just as easily linger over a pour-over as a piece of nigiri.
But this is not a coffee shop. The food shines brighter than that. Brighter, certainly, than the ornamental donuts one encounters in the lesser establishments of this city, those pastries posed in windows like small frosted lies. Here, everything is meant.
When we entered, the place was full. And yet we did not see a soul we knew. This is the paradox of very small restaurants done very well, eight seats can feel like a packed theater, depending on who is sitting in them. First impression: a very pleasant place to be. The kind of space that welcomes you by not trying too hard to welcome you.
Curiosity is a form of hunger, and I had been hungry.
I was interested, most of all, in the two Texan sushi chefs, forged in the Austin kitchens of Uchi and Uchiko, restaurants that taught a generation of Americans that sushi could be reimagined without being insulted.
They brought that sensibility north, to Alphabet City, and did something no one else in New York had quite done: they made an omakase entirely from American waters. Hudson Valley rice. Connecticut soy sauce. Fish from Montauk. The passport, for once, stays in the drawer.
And on and on. That is the quality of Bar Miller, the “on and on” of it. Each course arrives and you think yes, and? and the answer is always yes, and this. Smoked uni in chawanmushi. The nigiri unfolds like a conversation between two people who have known each other long enough to be honest. Some pieces are quiet. Some assert themselves.
The Michelin people, who understand stars better than they understand magic, have given Bar Miller one. It is a place that earns its star the way the best places do, not by reaching for it, but by being so completely itself that the star simply arrives, like a guest who has heard good things and wanted to see for himself.
Chef James told us, “Our goal with each bite is to make you forget the previous bite,” and it absolutely worked.
I’ve been to and loved many traditional omakase restaurants in the city – Sushi Nakazawa, Omakase Room by Mitsu. This may be a different experience, but no less phenomenal – intimate, relaxed, and very New York.
P.S. Don’t sleep on the mazemen, which is a menu add-on! It’s not “needed” – the omakase is wonderfully paced and very filling, but we ordered it anyways thinking we could take any leftovers home and ended up eating it all in three minutes.
some of my favs were the shrimp, mussels, and tartare chip
cant wait to come back!
