The Milling Room is good, the decor is interesting enough, the staff attentive and the food well presented and cooked. It's sort of a "hearty meal" in that there's plenty on your plate and lots of meat. It's actually a very good restaurant and if you are nearby it's a worthwhile choice... In general the meat seemed more compelling than the salmon which is what I had.. In general though it wasn't very differentiated or creative...

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.

Arriving for brunch, we were greeted by a soothing ambiance. The venue exuded a pleasing aesthetic. The chilaquiles proved to be delicious, while the eggs Norwegian was average. Overall, a favorable spot for a laid-back and peaceful brunch outing.

The food and cocktail were delicious. Our waitress was ok, we weren't deeling her energy. She barely came to check on us. However, he enjoyed the other service team.

Comfortable ambiance and tolerable noise level made for a pleasant dinner experience. Plenty of seats during early dinner hours allowed space between tables. The service and food are both excellent. Waitress was attentive and gave good suggestions, including the short rib, which was delicious. The chilled pea soup was light and flavorful, great for summertime dining. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

Very nice spot for brunch. Overly priced drinks. Food was expensive (compared to other surrounding options) but it was very tasty. All the staff was friendly and the huge space in the main dining room allows for a pleasantly quiet dining experience for all guests. You don’t have to shout over any otherwise loud tables. I wish they had been brunch drink options but the food is delicious.

The Milling Room is a very nice neighborhood tavern with an open, spacious and airy dining room. Greeted with a smile and mostly those who attended us were friendly and professional. Unfortunately, the food, depending what you order is hit or miss. We were there for a late brunch, wasn't very crowded and ordered the short rib hash and cheese burger. Mixed verdict on the food....the short rib hash was bland and meh at best as so were the fries, while those in our party who ordered the burger said it was very good. Reasonably priced for the UWS, but doubt would try again or recommend with so many great neighborhood restaurants in the city. Perhaps the other dishes or night menu are better? I wish them well.

My wife and I have both worked in the service industry, so it takes a lot for us to leave a negative review. We go out for Thanksgiving dinner every year in New York, and unfortunately our experience at The Milling Room this year was the worst we’ve had. The service was the biggest disappointment. We were never offered bread, which we only realized at the end of our meal when we noticed other tables receiving baskets. Our pre-dinner cocktails were never cleared, even though we had finished them well before our entrées arrived. We actually wanted to order wine with dinner, but ended up having to flag down a server halfway through our main course just to get someone’s attention. Even our table was missing a light—small detail, but noticeable in a dim room where every surrounding table had one. The food itself was good, but we were surprised that the $115 Thanksgiving prix fixe didn’t include traditional sides. The turkey came with only potatoes, and we were charged an additional $45 for stuffing, brussels sprouts, and cranberry sauce. The portion sizes—especially the tiny serving of cranberry sauce—made the $14-per-side pricing feel unreasonable. It’s hard to understand how a Thanksgiving prix fixe can consist of turkey and a spoonful of potatoes unless you pay extra for basics. In total, we paid $450 for two people and left feeling deeply disappointed. We’ve had far better Thanksgiving meals in NYC for less—and with far better service. As neighborhood residents and longtime customers of The Milling Room, we expected a memorable, well-executed holiday dinner. Unfortunately, this experience fell far short.

From what I understand, they’re going to start a remodel on the interior of this restaurant and in the meantime, they have a pizza baked at the curb outside by some fantastic chef, but when we got there at 8:45 the pizza was off the menu as they ran out! That left us very few choices for us to eat. we had hibachi which was very good And peas on straciatella. They didn’t even have bread! the bread that they did end up bringing us after we complained a few times was hard as a rock. I hope the remodel goes well. I don’t wanna dash this business to bits, but you should not go there until they’re done remodeling mid July. We left very hungry.

I don't know where to start. Went for Valentines day. Waited an hour before an apetizer come. It was a tiny little single bite, a "snack" they called it, with a sip of broth. Two hours after arriving the entree came out. Lamb Wellington. Three small bites of lamb in soggy pastry. They offered us a free drink for the wait, but I was just hungry. We left. Im at a great place around the corner getting dinner with my girlfriend. After spending over $400 at the Milling Room to wait and listen to excuses Im glad we went somewhere else! The location was very nice. The wait staff did the best they could. The kitchen sucks. I'd never come here if I were you. I wish someone would have warned me.

Milling Room used to be amazing but Comete is an absolutely disgrace. In 10 years of living in NYC this was the worst dining experience I’ve had in the city. I’m going to be having nightmares about this place. I feel like management should have to pay for my therapy sessions to get over this atrocity. There was no heat so had to wear jackets through dinner. (The couple next to us were smart and left.) Maybe I’m high maintenance but getting plates with appetizers would be nice. Overall ridiculous prices for the most basic and bland food imaginable. I’m being melodramatic but this place was honestly terrible.

Not sure what happened to this place because it used to be very good. We went there and the place was empty. Food was barely edible. They have transitioned it into a “popup” (ie limited menu) with no notice. Open table doesn’t mention it either. Very disappointed overall. Very sad to see such a great UWS spot go down like this.
