Bar Miller

“One of the best and most unique omakase experiences in the city! We absolutely love Rosella so we really wanted to try Bar Miller. Jeff and James are incredible. Such a friendly and cozy experience. Everything’s locally sourced, and as far as I know, they’re the only ones doing that in the omakase/sushi space. But as far as the fish, it tastes as good as anything flown in from Japan; you’d never guess the fish are all sourced from the east coast. Can’t wait to come back!”

“We had a birthday dinner here and it was incredible. Not only the food but the service was exceptional. The flavor pairings were perfect. The list of what they served is below with some notes. I would highly recommend this place. The host was so friendly and knowledgeable. He guided us to a Sake that paired well with the food. There is a pairing where they give you different Sake and wine through the meal. He genuinely wanted to help us find what we liked. 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!”

“What a wonderful experience we had at Bar Miller! This is a meal that pushes the boundaries of what omakase can be, all while maintaining a respect for the environment. The creativity shines through in every dish - we had wagyu from Connecticut, bluefish from Montauk, along with more traditional bites such as raw bass, shrimp and trout, all served (deliciously) on rice sourced locally from New York. 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.”

“The most amazing experience! 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!”

“Hurts my heart to write this, but we left the meal feeling genuinely disappointed. We had very high expectations, especially given the restaurant’s Michelin one-star recognition. At $250+ per person, this is certainly not an inexpensive experience. We went for a special birthday dinner, but overall, many of the courses did not meet expectations — particularly at this price point. Most of the fish felt underwhelming, lacking the depth, richness, and quality we would expect at this level. Sadly, I wouldn’t recommend it. I’ve had better omakase experiences at places priced around $100 per person or less. That said, the staff was truly wonderful, and we appreciated the intimate atmosphere. However, the food itself simply did not feel on par with its reputation or pricing.”
