This is the first time at the restaurant. The food was delicious and the ambience is beautiful. Our waiter Asami was pleasant and wonderful.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
