Phenomenal service and tasty food! We forgot to take pictures, but everything we ordered was excellent! They have a great wine selection as well, and we were happy with our choice! Our server was very attentive, and even brought us champagne to help us celebrate our engagement! This is a great place for a special occasion. read more

It was fun, hip and trendy. Plating was gorgeous, service was great. The server had a nice balance of kindness with a twang of sass. Everything sounded delicious on the menu, so we had a hard time deciding; ended up ordering a few appetizers, as well as cocktails and entrees for each of us. (needless to say, we were stuffed) We liked the appetizers over the entrees. Don't know if it is because of the farm-to-table drive, but the vegetables were done exceptionally well. Highly recommend the Celery Dip and the Seasonal vegetable plate. The duck was ok, but the fish entree had a very rubbery texture, which was disappointing. read more

Miller Union - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I came across Miller Union when I read an article on Eater.com recently that named Miller Union here in Atlanta as one of the Best Restaurants in America. My buddy, Martha and I headed over for lunch yesterday and the food absolutely did not disappoint. And, the Criston 'Mt. Jefferson' Pinot Noir Willamette Valley, Oregon 2014 wasn't bad either! To get the most from our dining experience, Martha and I decided that we would choose several dishes and share them. Good plan! We started off with the arugula, fig & peach salad, squash blossom, and lemon-honey yogurt. Next were the tasty corn and scallion hushpuppies that we slathered with the smoked chili & lime aioli that was paired with the hushpuppies. Chef Steven is known as a rice whisperer, as I later discovered, so I feel fortunate that when dining during lunch, the shrimp and andouille gumbo with carolina gold rice and grilled bread was on the menu. Finally, we dined on the most delicious and perfectly cooked quail with farro, fig, celery, cippolini and vidalia onion soubise. The only thing we didn't try because by that point we were pretty full was the homemade ice cream sandwich for dessert. Every dish was perfectly plated. The service was 5-star. read more

Delicious! Somehow hadn't made it over here yet so came over w buddies. Started w drinks, old fashioned was great and wasn't too sweet as it is at many places in ATL. We started with the farm egg, grits fritters and pork belly appetizers. All were amazing. For entree I had the lamb shoulder, tender and tasty. One buddy went with the crab stew, it was surprisingly hearty but we agreed lacked in flavor. Overall the appetizers were the highlight for us. I was ready for this place to be overhyped but it actually delivered in quality food and drinks, and wait staff were very attentive as well read more

Came here for the first time for dinner with a big group from work. It wasn't crowded when we got there but it was pretty full by the end of the night, especially for a Tuesday. The bar is located right by the front door so you really can't help but order a drink. I got the holiday punch but the bartenders are very knowledgeable and will make you anything you ask. It was a little heavy on the ginger, but grew on me. We started with a lot of different apps. I'm a vegetarian so only had the egg and celery cream dish, but it was delicious. Everyone raved about the grit fritters as well. For dinner I ordered the vegetable plate. The waiter made sure to note that it's not vegetarian (I'm assuming the cook the greens in bacon grease or something like that) but they were able to put a plate together for me. It had roasted beats, brussel sprouts, root vegetables and a wheatberry pilaf, all of which was delicious. The filet was a hit with our group, several people also raved about the clams. We passed around several dessert-s'mores cake, apple and cranberry pie, and maple flan. I'm not a fan of flan but HOLY SHITE THIS STUFF IS GOOD. If I come back here, I will definitely have to order one to myself :) My only complaint would be that the valet guy was kind of rude, but I'll let it slide and blame it on the cold and that he was a one-man show. It's a pretty pricey place, but the atmosphere and quality of food and service make it worth it. If not for a full dinner, I'd definitely come back for drinks...oh, and the flan. read more

Lunch review. We arrived at 11:30 with no reservation. Seated promptly. Service was warm and informative. I had one of their 5th Revision bourbon cocktail and my friend had their homemade blueberry ginger soda. The soda was a little too sweet, but not bad. My drink was smooth. For lunch we had short rib po'boy with pepper relish. Delicious. The short rib was tender and full of flavor, relish was excellent. Also got the Savannah red rice with andouille sausage, shrimp and okra. Very similar to a gumbo, but without all the sauce. It was delicate, but lacking any real flavor punch. A little strong on the tomato. That said, very edible and ingredients were high quality. I would not get it again, but wasn't disappointed. The house made ice cream sandwich was definitely a great way to finish the meal. It was decadent and delicious. A must try for anyone considering. The location of the restaurant is a little dodgy, but worth it for the experience. read more

Must Try in Atlanta! Delicious farm-to-table cuisine with southern touches that will leave you so happy and wanting more! Ambience is warm, intimate, and inviting with a little modern feel to it. Service impeccable, our waiter Julie was fantastic and made our dinner experience even better! Also want to mention Neal McCarthy (co-founder) came by our table to welcome us. Such a nice gesture! read more

I went there for lunch today with my husband, and it was great. The service was good, atmosphere is nice. The food is very tasty, and a variety on the menu...not huge, but doesn't need to be, the care that goes into making the dishes they do have is awesome. The ice cream sandwich for dessert - the vanilla one - was scrumptious!! Will be back for sure! read more

I'm usually weary of over hyped, over marketed eateries, and this placed proved me right unfortunately. The wife and I went there to celebrate her birthday, and I chose the lunch crowd to avoid the crowded dinner service and ripoff prices. Let's start with the parking. It's a scam. They have a lot of places out front in their strip mall, shared with a furniture store, but they force you to use valet. It was empty when I arrived, and I had to hand over my keys to a kid who literally turned it around in the same spot I parked MYSELF. Whether their policy or not, they should pressure the landlord to scrap that valet or scrap it themselves if they are the culprits. This is not downtown. The service was friendly and good; no complaints there. The food was very average. Considering the rave reviews I read everywhere, it was a letdown. We got the deviled eggs and fried zucchinis as appetizers. They were good in a ordinary, satisfying way. My shrimp and grits was another letdown. They were no better than something from Flying Biscuit cafe. Again, very ordinary in a satisfying way. The problem is that for such a hyped eatery, ordinary is not acceptable. The in house made ice cream was fine, but it tasted no better than store bought. Overall, the experience was disappointing. My wife agreed; we were both hoping that it would be something special, but it was ordinary. I wouldn't go back again. read more

We went there for brunch. Decor is bright and cozy. Food: We ordered the fried chicken special (nice quality and delicious chicken, side bacon cabbage is also flavorful), short rib sandwich (good flavor), spicy shrimp sandwich (So so but the fries with homemade ketchup or special sauce was very tasty), house cured ham sandwich (my friend's favorite). For dessert, however the homemade Ice cream sandwiches sounded nice and rarely to be made in a restaurant, we didn't enjoy that much(maybe just us). Service: Our sever wasn't that friendly even though he did his job. Overall: Nice space, pretty good food, it would be a awesome brunch experience if service was more friendly and professionally. read more

A restaurant built out of an old industrial building, miller Union combines modern elements with beautiful design. The food is great, but expensive. A great place to take someone for a date if you're trying to impress. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. I wasn't a huge fan of the quail, not because of how they prepared it, but rather foolishly expecting to be full off of a small bird. Overall a great dining experience, worthy of multiple visits. read more

Came here for lunch and it wasn't busy yet. Split the catfish sandwich and pulled pork. Also had their vegetable platter. Everything was good, and fresh. I wouldn't recommend the pulled pork as I thought it was okay. I would recommend the catfish sandwich as it was very fresh, clean tasting, and had a nice crunch. The ice cream sandwich was solid. I would come back for dinner if I'm ever in Atlanta again. read more

When you walk in you see the wall littered with James Beard Awards including best chef of the Southeast, outstanding wine program, and the list goes on. The presentation and visibility of these prestigious awards automatically set the expectations for the evening....the bar was high. We got there about 10-15 minutes early to our 8:15 reservation and opted to have a drink at the bar until our table was ready (party of 2). The bar was not very busy, maybe 5 people there, so we placed our order and got our drinks relatively quickly but getting the bartender to close us out took forever. So long that the hostess came to us twice to tell us our table was ready but the guy behind the bar was too busy refilling stuff to take our metal credit card that I was tapping on the bar to subtilely get his attention. When we got seated, our waiter had just been seated a big party of 8 people so it took him a while to make his way around taking the drink orders....so we waited a bit to place our drink order and get menus....not sure why they seated two reservations at the same time with the same server, especially one of them as a big party. Anyway, the rest of the evening was great, we ordered the shrimp appetizer and the farm egg....both were prepared perfectly. For entrees, I ordered the brisket and my wife had the duck breast. Their menu is very seasonal and both dishes had some fall influences and were perfectly prepared and presented. For dessert we had the apple cobbler with sorghum ice cream and it was a great end to the evening. We both drank from the wine by the glass menu all evening and all of the wines we had were delicious. Definitely coming back. read more

Miller Union - Farm Egg and Shrimp - Southern Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Great food and bad service. Hosted a party of six tonight and we were all frustrated by the incredibly slow service. And the restaurant was not particularly busy. Drinks took forever to arrive. Over 20 minutes. Also asked for bread three times. Was told at my second "ask" that fresh bread was coming out of the oven. When finally brought it was stone cold. They brought seven slices and then tried to charge me $12.00.. The menu did indicate $2/person fir bread service, but the wait was over 40 minutes and then barely a slice for each person. Our entrees were very good when they finally arrived. Yes--they took a long time as well. But super good. I have been blessed to go to a lot of James Beard winner/finalist restaurants in numerous cities. They almost all do a better job. Will not risk hosting another group there. read more

We had the best meal ever here for my bday! Service was amazing. Cocktails great and the food was soo delish. Great social distancing and felt safe dining inside. read more

We went to MU for my birthday dinner and had a pretty good time. We had cocktails before the rest of party arrived which were delicious, but did not realize we were paying $12 for a can of beer for my son until the check came. The bartenders' Desi and Angela were very personable and started our evening out with a bang. The server, Lauren was great as well. She took our orders for appetizers and main dishes and paced the meal out (her words). We ordered drinks and a bottle of wine at the table. She brought the dessert menu and we ordered as well as after-dinner drinks. She brought the check, we paid, then out of nowhere the seating host (manager I suspect) came over and told us that they were ready to seat the next party. That ended our evening with a thud. Overall the food was good, the chicken tasty, the pork a little dry and the seafood clams a bit spicey that was not described on the menu, the service was good. We felt that we did not linger and they paced our meal. I wish we had known that we were not going to be able to finish our coffee. I think they missed the mark. read more

After picking up hubby from the airport, we wandered and found this place for a late dinner. It was actually more upscale than we realized and feared we may not be seated with Mark A. in a t-shirt. Luckily, they gave us seats at the bar. Omg, amazing food! The duck breast crust was delicious! I couldn't get over it. It came with a side of brussel sprouts, done wonderfully. It's fun sitting at the bar, watching the bartenders do their thing. It's like an added show to your dinner experience that you didn't have to pay for. Mark surely enjoyed it since he wasn't planning on ordering a drink, but the bartenders' magic lured him in. I don't think he was disappointed either. Great drink, according to the bourban fan that he is. read more

Everything was great about this meal/experience. The service is excellent, helpful, professional, and knowledgeable. The kitchen is quicker than most restaurants with this size of a menu. One of my friends needed her dishes to be gluten-free and this was no problem for the server or the kitchen. The famous farm egg appetizer was masterful and delicious. The bread was perfect and I wish I could eat this for breakfast three times a week. The quail and duck entrees were phenomenal. The flavors were perfect and spot-on. The fowl was cooked perfectly. The sides were perfect tasty accompaniments to well tested plates. The pork dish wasnt as great but still delicious. We ordered some beets and sun chokes and they were beautiful, earthy, well-seasoned, and delicious. For dessert I had the french silk tart which wasn't as sweet as I had hoped for but it was delicious. The crust was perfect. The pistachio ice cream was the best I had ever had. My companions loved their cocktails. I had a fruit and vodka champagne cocktail which was delicious and perfectly sweetened. This restaurant is a class act! It deserves all of its accolades. read more

I visited twice like 8 months ago for dinner for our anniversary and 1 month ago for lunch with my friend. Both times I had great experiences with creative and healthy-feeling dishes. I loved their hushpuppies menu either as lunch or dinner, but sadly it looks like they don't have it currently. Guess they change the menu frequently, but I'm sure every time you'll be happy with the food there. Great service as well. For our anniversary, they served complimentary sparkling wine, which was awesome. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends who visit Atlanta! read more

Our experience was meh. Just didn't understand the whole hype about the place from the reviews. It was Mrs. birthday so took her here. I got the steak and she got the quail. Steak was charred to the point that I can taste it and that was not pleasant. My wife's quail was not we expected but was edible. Our server seems a bit clueless on recommendation. Over all the experience was blah. Would not return. read more

Ambiance: Nicely lit restaurant, tables are a little close to one another. The overall volume was pretty loud (weekday evening), so you'll have to talk somewhat loudly to be heard. The waitstaff was a little slow to come around to our table and the food what somewhat slow to come out, so plan at minimum an hour and fifteen to eat. Food: Apricot glazed duck leg - A roasted duck leg set on a bed of root vegetables. The duck leg was coated with a thick layer of sweet and syrupy apricot glaze. A decent layer of fat surrounded the leg and there was only a thin layer of crispiness to it. The meat itself was overdone and tougher than it should've been. You could definitely tell there was a gradient of done-ness throughout, as the outer layers were overdone and the inner layers were much better. As for the root vegetables, they were a little too salty, but otherwise the flavor was good. Quite frankly, for $30, I expected a higher quality dish. read more

Overall experience: such a cute spot first of all! Our waiter was amazing...very attentive and had great recommendations for drinks and food. I love whiskey so I had the Southern Son which was delish, so I had 2! Then I had the low country boil as my entree which was one of the seafood options I could eat (I'm a pescetarian and they had a nice selection of items I could eat) and it was really good. I will say that I'm from Texas with a Louisiana background (creole) so I would have preferred a bit more of an Old Bay seasoning taste but it was still good. I must say that I also tasted the chilled shrimp & watermelon started and the ricotta filled ravioli and they were both really good too! I was at dinner with my boss and coworkers and my boss went back for lunch and dinner twice the next week! read more

The food for Valentine's Day was good. I was taken back when I ordered a diet soda and my server Laura said they do not believe in diet soda. Ok. I strongly urge them to keep type 1 diabetics in mind. The only thing we can drink without taking insulin is water or diet soda. Please do not confuse us with type 2 diabetes. There is a major difference. After I politely expressed my discontent, Laura swiftly walked away and stopped all communication short of giving us the check. That was not cool...at all. read more

We had a very subpar dinner. First off, our waitress didn't even give us any sort of intro or run down of the menu or anything about Miller Union (this was our first time). We ordered dirty martinis and it tasted terrible- both! We asked for some more olive juice on the side and she brought it and it was definitely the olive juice- it tasted like it had gone bad. So we asked for a glass of wine instead which, was delicious. When we go to order appetizers like I said she didn't give us any information and I had to ask for any recommendations or popular dishes. Appetizers come out and we got the scallops and this egg dish that is a staple on the menu. Both were good! Next she comes back to take our entrees. Again, no recommendations or information about the entrees. I had to ask- I asked her about the roasted chicken bc I had been eyeing it and it sounded delicious well she tell us it takes 40 minutes to cook, thanks for telling us before we ordered it but it would have been nice to know that in the beginning since I was planning on getting that. Most restaurants when a dish takes longer than 25 minutes they tell you that as soon as you sit down. At this point, we just wanted to leave and we had somewhere to be after so we couldn't wait 40 minutes. We ended up just splitting the pork sausage which, was super salty and a side of broccoli and mushroom- a ton of salty broccoli and like 3 mushrooms.. they did not charge us for the dirty martinis or a split fee so that was nice but still very disappointed. At a restaurant with this reputation and prices we should have had a better experience. read more

Top 5 favorite meals of all time (coming from a foodie who lives in nyc). The service was great, ambiance was amazing too - not too stuffy but not too casual.

Seated us maybe at the WORSE TABLE in the place. it was basically in the hallway between the two dining rooms, looked like a converted closet and they managed to squeeze in 4 tiny tables. Hence we didn't order a great deal because we didn't feel inclined to stay long when sardined into the tiny uncomfortable space. FOOD: OK, I think for this price point it should be much better COST (out of 4$): $$$ SERVICE: not very good, not very attentive, i think our waiter came by at the beginning and at the end and the food runners delivered our food in between DECOR: Very hip contemporary with a lot of concrete and metal glass windows RECOMMEND: Really wanted to like it and recommend but just cant. We would not be busting to go back any time soon. Had the Raw Oysters (ok), Pork Belly (Not what we expected and wasn't good), Quail (Ok), Grouper (good-ok) Nice concept of farm to table locally sourced organic food restaurant but just couldnt get over our table and how we could hear everything our neighbouring table was talking about. We felt like we were dining with another couple as the tables were so close together read more

My group was constantly rushed by our waitress who openly said she has to "turnover" our table soon (before we even ordered our appetizers). We left soon after to go to another restaurant where we could eat and drink at our own pace. read more

Came for dinner and really liked the decor and ambiance of the restaurant. Service is great. They offered plenty of recommendations and my glass was never empty. I started with the farm egg baked in celery cream ($9) which comes with several generous slices of bread. This is a runny egg that you eat with bread. I got it because it is one of Miller Union's signature dish. It is good but I would have enjoyed it more if the bread were softer or warm. The bread was really hard. I also had the grilled pork loin which comes with carrots, turnip, and some greens. I asked for it to be cooked medium-well and it was still pretty good even though I had it cooked longer. For dessert, I had the sticky toffee cake with vanilla-balsamic ice cream. The toffee cake was delicious. It was warm and had nuts in it. Loved the cake. I would have also liked it with the vanilla ice cream but I really did not like the balsamic sauce drizzled all over the ice cream. I realize the balsamic sauce is probably an attempt to make the dessert more unique but I was not a fan. It adds a salty side to my dessert so it was just a weird combination. The restaurant was pretty busy for a weekday evening so I recommend making reservations before you come. They have valet parking although it looks like there may be some street parking available as well. read more

Unimpressive experience from start to finish. Appetizers were average at best but the fish entree was good. Service left much to be desired.

Thought we were going to be blown away. Great service, just got unlucky with the preparation of our dishes. Farm egg appetizer: egg was over cooked and the cream tasted like cream of celery soup, zero flavor. Needed salt or SOMETHING. Grouper: fish was raw at the bottom. I told the server and he took it away. Came back and asked if I was still hungry. Honestly, I was a bit grossed out, so told him no. This was a 33 dollar entree, I expected more. We chose to spend our anniversary here, spent over a hundred dollars, and I left sad. read more

So -- the staff super nice and attentive. Loved the atmosphere. The food: My fiancé and I got the steak because we're classic food people, so stepping out and trying the other entrees wasn't happening for us -- but if you like being adventurous this place is definitely for you. Our steak was cooked perfectly. The flavors were all there. read more

Great food, great service, great wine program. Very imaginative variations on modern Southern food. I hesitate to recommend individual dishes, because there is nothing on the menu I wouldn't order again. The wait staff is very helpful and not intrusive. I always ask Neil, the sommelier, for his picks, and am always delighted. Aleays a great experience. read more

This restaurant is lovely. The decor is just so nice and homey and very southern looking, welcoming and inviting. The service was good but to be honest the food was nothing out of this world. The entrees were forgettable, but we ordered corn fritters for an appetizer and brown sugar ice cream sandwiches for dessert and both were memorable and fantastic. Overall, a solid restaurant more-so for the ambience and service than the entrees. read more

Had an excellent dinner here last night - the server was very knowledgeable about the vegan options on the menu (the seasonal vegetable plate, which is a combination of all the sides, was delightful).

We stopped by Miller Union today for lunch. I was expecting to be blown away given all the rave reviews and the James Beard winning chef. I would definitely say the food was good. However, I need to come to dinner to try the dishes they are most known for. I had the shrimp and grits ($15) and it wasn't what I was expecting. It was a lot soupier and not as thick and creamy as the more southern grits Im used to. The grits also seemed to contain quinoa? The tomato flavor was great though and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. My brother ordered the burger and loved it. The steak was the ultimate winner. Not a bad serving for $16 at lunch. For dessert we tried the store made ice cream sandwiches. I thought they were great! Thin cookie layer and thick ice cream core. Its all about the ratios! It is pricy at $6 but you get 3 nice sized chunks. Try the bourbon one.. its delicious! read more

I'm not sure what to make of this establishment. I have no idea why this place gets such high marks. I think I gave this place a good shake down, ordering appetizers, entrees, sides, & cocktails. But there was only one memorable, "gotta call home and tell everyone" dish - the farm egg bakes in celery cream. This is an easy dish to prepare...& easy dish to screw up and over cook, but I'm jumping ahead of myself. We started out with their fresh oysters of the day, the grits fritters, & farm egg. The oysters were fresh as can be albeit a bit overpriced. They were sweet, salty, succulent, and very well plated. They had the perfect amount of acidity. The grits fritters were probably the biggest disappointment of the appetizers ordered. They were good but not great. Spend your hard earned money on another appetizer - the farm egg. The farm egg is their signature appetizer and for good reason. This is an extremely delicate dish. If you overcook the cream or egg, it's noticeable and ruins the dish. Fortunately, Miller Union knows this dish. My 6 year old son, whom I encourage to try everything absolutely loved this dish, requesting additional bread for this appetizer. Playing for this appetizer was just like the appetizer itself - clean, crisp, & simple. One can easily taste the celery in the cream. The celery didn't overtake the savoriness of the cream or egg. Simply put this we sheer perfection! I can think of only a few establishments that I know of in Georgia can pull off this dish. I would've been happy having this dish for my main course! We ordered the grouper fillet, the coffee & chile rubbed brisket, & grass fed flank steak. None of these dishes were earth shattering. If I just had any these dishes, I would've felt jilted. The grouper ($33) was a bit over cooked, but the watermelon, tomato, & watercress mixture underneath it more than made up for it. This was a very well balanced light dish. Just wish the grouper was better taken care of. The flavors of the root veggies under my brisket conflicted with the flavors of the brisket. The bitterness of the turnips over powered any savoriness of the brisket. The portion of this dish was off. I was still hungry & I satisfied after this dish. Definitely not worth $25! The grass-fed flank steak ($31) was accompanied with potatoes, sweet pepper, grilled onions, & watercress. This dish would've been good without the watercress. I didn't find anything earth shattering about this dish. It's a good "meat and potatoes" dish but not memorable. I opted not to do dessert here since there was a wonderful donut place down the street. This is atypical of me, but since most of the dishes were underwhelming, I thought of cutting my loses short. In short, if you plan an outing to this establishment, just stick to the farm egg appetizer. It's perfection! As for the rest of the menu, stay away from the main dishes I ordered. Fortunately their menu is seasonal, so you might not have the opportunity to get the mains I got. read more

Seems this place is operating off past reviews. We had a party of five. The grouper cake was the only standout. The noise level here was a 10! We couldn't hear across our table. A big disappointment. read more

Loved ending our quick day trip to Atlanta at Miller Union. We enjoyed some tasty apps to begin, but our favorite was the field peas peanut salad which was suggested to us by our server, Mark, who was so kind and knowledgeable of the menu. He also suggested a great wine pairing for our entrees and made sure our courses flowed perfectly ending on a sweet note of pie and coffee. Every dish tasted fresh and thoughtful, the entire staff was lovely, and the atmosphere relaxing and just what we were looking for! read more
