Slow service as indicated by past reviews, but the happy hour and great tasting options were to DIE for. The chicken nuggets with black truffle were delicious and fairly priced (surprising for chicken NUGGETS!). Great selection of drinks and amazing atmosphere. Outside and indoor seating both are unique, with a wide variety of seating options (high tables, booths, at the bar, etc.). Management keeps it fresh by having different events each night, such as Prohibition on Mondays and Happy Hours from lunch to night on most days. All in all, a top tier restaurant for a competitive price and great location. You will not be disappointed. read more

Came here for a group event and we had numerous drinks and apps. The cocktails are amazing. Sampled a few things and you really can't go wrong with any choice. Service was really great for our large group. People would order drinks and then wander around and the poor waitress would have to hunt down the person who ordered. Food was also really good. We ordered a bunch of apps and they brought them out pretty fast. Very tasty and quality is great. Mac and cheese is always my favorite. They also had these chicken nuggets that were a hit with everyone. The space itself was really nice too. You can choose the outside patio, communal tables by the door/open windows or more space in the back. read more

I selected to dine at the Milton amongst the choices of NYC restaurants serving Thanksgivng dinner in 2021. Although I didn't have the prix fixe (Turkey) Thanksgiving dinner, I was told by friends that joined me, the Butternut squash soup was amazing! I had the salmon and was very pleased. I found the staff super nice, the quality of food excellent and general ambiance of this small Irish pub was really delightful. Not to mention that the prices were extremely reasonable. Would definitely recommend read more

This place is wonderful! I came here with my parents who were visiting from abroad but they really enjoyed brunch here! Their happy hours are great for drinks!! The atmosphere is nice and they have beautiful outdoor seating. I had the Milton Salad, chicken nuggets, BLT, Fish and chips, grilled cheese and tomato soup to share and all of them were great! I would definitely come here for happy hour: Mon-Fri 12-7pm Sun-Wed 12-4am The waiters were really nice too! They let you taste beer before you make an actual order as well and I really appreciated it! read more

The Milton - Happy hour menu - Irish Near Me - New York, New York

Was not impressed with this place. Here's why: -No air conditioning inside when it was 75 degrees -No espresso/latte machine -I ordered the smoked salmon breakfast. This was a major mistake. The salmon was TERRIBLE - salty, slimy, and old tasting. Additionally, they don't have bagels, so I got a flimsy piece of english muffin instead. Pretty silly to offer a salmon breakfast without bagels. Just remove it from the menu. A really lazy and bad tasting breakfast. Hopefully the dinner is better. read more

Popped into the Milton a few days ago and what a UES gem! So cute and cozy, great place for a date night or just to grab a bite at the bar. lovely cocktails, super cool bartenders and yummy food. We ordered truffle nuggets they seem to be a favorite, I'm not a fan of truffle but they were definitely tasty! read more

Happy hour is bonus hour+++ between 4-7. Not much of a really stellar reason but you beat the crowd and save some $$ on drink funds. Order the vegetarian pot pie! It's to die for. The snack list has chicken nuggets that are only good bc of the wonderful beet sauce. We were there from 4-7 and never once were hassled or rushed out like most other venues. Super friendly staff. I'll just give a quick mention that week nights are warm and inviting....dark candlelit intimate setting. The bar is a whole lot more casual. read more

Just for a bit of background, I was born in the Yorkville neighborhood 40+ YEARS ago and grew up directly across the street, and have seen many businesses come and go. "The Milton's" for dinner isn't half bad for your basic grilled cheese and Irish themed food, however what I have an issue with is the treatment at the bar, from a bartender named Ethan and lack of accountability upon management to do anything about him. I was a former bartender myself for SEVERAL years, and I know a thing or 2 about regulars and good patrons, however Ethan has an issue with anyone in authority or an arbiter, to the point where he cannot do his job. It lessens the amount of patrons that come when he is behind the bar and through my observation the bar isn't a lively atmosphere when he is tending. I KNOW most patrons who are familiar with the atmosphere of the bar life, would agree as well. His anxiety is through the roof, and he plays bad songs (my opinion) and interacts with the patrons in a very distasteful way (fact), which I'm not sure is racism or just plain nasty. Myself and others have complained NUMEROUS times to management and several different staff members, and it seems like NOTHING is done. Think of Geoffery in the Game of Thrones. That is Ethan's terror. A FEW other staff members have agreed as well, however it seems like not much movement is made regarding him. I will say, I have positive interactions with Thomas and others, however it seems like Ethan has a chip on his shoulder so please BE AWARE. I am not saying this with malice, more so with a word of caution, as I am a white collar professional in digital marketing and have NEVER encountered a personality with anyone quite like Ethan. Hold your horses with this guy. read more

This was the best grilled cheese I've ever had. And I've had a lot of grilled cheeses. My mom and I came here twice while hunting for apartments in the Upper East Side, and the service was excellent both times. Great vibes and amazing food! read more

Further update: A shout-out to Kasia, who's on Manager duty tonight. Coming here as regularly as we do, of course we felt entitled to ask for a change in the music. :) She said if we'd wait 15 minutes she'd make the change, and sure enough, almost to the minute, on came a Motown playlist. We realize that accommodating an occasional request from regular customers isn't the most amazing thing, but it's worth mentioning as just another example of the friendly vibe here. Update: we just have to give a shout-out to Emma, who rocks the bar Saturday nights -- she mixes a great drink (of course) and is a delight to hang out with. Oh, and ask her about Chap-Stik. read more

I just had brunch here with a girlfriend this past weekend. They open at 12pm, I showed up around 12:30pm. The hostess allowed me to sit with no hesitation even though my GF hadn't shown up yet. After later realizing my friend was no where close [insert hand on head emoji], I offered to get up and let someone else have the table, but the hostess was very sweet about it and instead brought me a mimosa. Their outside area is large and feels very comfortable. Note: It was a sunny day so while the temp was on the colder side the sun warmed us right up. I kept it simple with eggs (scrambled), toast & bacon. The eggs were fluffy and dense, the bacon was extra crispy (which I love) and the toast had a gourmet thickness to it that easily made it the star of my brunch platter. I should probably preface that with my obsession for bread baskets. Everything on the brunch menu looked delicious. I'm already looking forward to going back and tackling the rest. Did I mention you get a complimentary drink with your order? Cheers! read more

Drink and atmosphere only didn't eat yet Just saw this as I was walking by so I stooped in for a drink to creep the environment great place cant wait to try it for brunch Nice that new places can open with all the construction read more

This is the classic place that's a 3.5 stars, but I overall just had to round down. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, inviting. It has a rustic charm, with cute windows and greenery, wooden tables/beams, brick walls, lots of candles floors, and good music. They have a good section of outdoor seating and a large bar area that was full of young, hip UESer's. We walked in on a Sat and were able to be seated right away. Unfortunately, there was a private party, that was so loud we saw two tables near by us walk out. We were about to leave also, but the party was on their way out. Regardless, it is too small a space to have a party that loud, and completely took away from our experience. Our server was extremely friendly, helpful, and apologetic which helped. We got the truffle chicken fingers that they are known for, and honestly I wasn't that impressed. The chicken is a patty, kind of like mcdonalds, and ground chicken. The truffle/breaded seasoning is amazing, and would be soooo good on a true chicken tender. But I felt like I was just eating a McNugget or an interesting meatball. I got the fish n chips, which are a large portion and tasty, but nothing special. Greg got the roast chicken which was average, but again, nothing tasty or special. Everything was somewhat bland and lacked any wow factor. My cocktail however, was delicious, so flavorful and hit the spot for a decent price ( Ginger bee). I would definitely come back here for drinks or patio drinking, but not sure I would eat here again. read more

HH M-F 12pm -7 pm; Sun-Wed 12am-4am This place is so cute. I'm sad that it took me this long to find it! We got Truffle chicken nuggets- two of my favorite things combined! It comes with this sauce, but I didn't like it very much. Regardless, they were so good I didn't share and ate them all leaving not "mushroom" in my stomach for seconds. Deviled eggs-these were ok. They come with crab. I think it's better without the crab. once you take the crab off, the flavors really do come out of their "shell." Service was excellent too! read more

It's a reasonable place. Good for relaxing on Friday night. Devil eggs were really tasty, but the portion was kinda too small. Thier signature cocktail disappointed me a little bit actually. read more

Just popped into The Milton while I was walking around the upper east side looking for a place to brunch. (The place I wanted to go to had a two hour wait). The space is cute: dark, cozy. We started with the avocado toast-- good, not great. I always feel like restaurants over mash the avocado and neglect to add easy ingredients that would elevate the toast, i.e. Garlic, red pepper flakes. Overall, the avocado toast was alright-- the fried egg helped. I got the chefs masterpiece-- it's a skillet dish with eggs, goat cheese, cream, and peas. The flavors were good, but the eggs were totally cooked by the time they got to the table. Personally, I think baked egg dishes should have over easy eggs. My boyfriend got the ham and grilled cheese. It was pretty good. It was a tasty grilled cheese with two sunny side up eggs on top. Overall, it was a decent brunch for popping into a random restaurant. read more

I love this place! Each time I come here it has been packed with people. There is a lot of energy at the restaurant and it has a great vibe. All of the cocktails are amazing, you can't go wrong. Their dinner menu features rustic fare. The Cottage Pie is delicious, and my personal favorite is their chicken. The skin is perfectly crispy and the chicken is so juicy still. They serve it in the cast iron which is a nice touch. You can really taste the charred lemon and it adds a vibrant element to the dish. This is my go to, and it never has disappointed me. There is a lot of hype about the truffle nuggets, which I don't really understand. I am personally not a fan of chicken nuggets, and they reminded me of a slightly better version of McDonald's. But this is the only dish that I wasn't really a fan of. But those who do like nuggets should definitely try it. read more

I really like the atmosphere here. It has a nice bar with some high top seating by the window along with some outdoor seating. It has a sophisticated vibe to it which is a nice find in the area. The drinks are delicious. My first time here, they were trying out a new gin cocktail which they gave to us for free. We appreciated the service and were able to sample a delicious cocktail. I've only tried a couple appetizers but I would like to come back and try the food at some point. read more

Yikes! One star for its very cute dimly lit interior (nice for date night!). One star for its sparkly cocktail I had. And then downhill. We got two entrees and two cocktails. My entree, Irish sloppy joe, was terrible. Must have been an off night but it was not good. I ate the top bun because I was hungry but nothing else. Our waitress never came by to check on us and when we finally found her we asked for the check. She came by and took the plates, noticed I hadn't touched my food at all, and didn't ask - was something wrong, do you want anything else else? - she took the food and gave us the check. I literally left all the food except for the bun ate. We left a tip on the full amount but we were put off by the lack attention to guests and overall service. read more

Great happy hour with $7 glasses of wine and $9 small plates. I think all their cocktails are on their happy hour menu for $10 as well - I've heard they are phenomenal. My friend and I sat in a cozy alcove table for two off the main bar, and service was phenomenal which I feel is very rare. Loved the mood lighting, candles, and our chicken nugget and deviled eggs small plates - would absolutely consider returning! read more

Went here with a friend to check out their lunch offerings. After perusing the menu a bit, we decided to go with truffle chicken nuggets to start and then split the fried chicken sandwich and the cottage pie. The truffle chicken nuggets get a lot of hype on Yelp, but I have to say that I was very underwhelmed. I felt like they were very average. The chicken sandwich was decent, though I felt like it was even a little bit on the salty side. It also was not a huge portion. The cottage pie may have been the best item, but it is also super rich and hard to get through, even with two people. The meat is cooked well and the flavors are there, it is just a very heavy and rich dish. Overall, this place serves up decent food, but it can be pretty heavy. The service was also not the most attentive as I think that they had one guy taking care of the whole afternoon crowd. Nevertheless, the outdoor seating provides a nice setting and the service was friendly. read more

This is one of the newer trendy spots. My friends have come here a few times, told me their food is really good. There is plenty of space so if you're bringing a large group, it won't feel crowded. I ordered the Milton burger which tasted really good. It was cooked exactly the way I ordered it, medium, was not too dry at all-which is what a lot of places end up doing. It came with cheddar cheese, Lettuce tomatoes and onions- there was no one overwhelming flavor everything was in the right portion. It came with a side of french fries which were also pretty good-some spots either burn the fries or make them too dry My friend ordered the mac'n cheese which he said was one of the best mac n' cheese he's ever had, another ordered grilled cheese with tomato soup which was also very good. They also recommended their cocktails, don't recall the exact names but one had basil and gin which my friend enjoyed a lot I recommend this place, good atmosphere, food and service. -The Milton Burger -Mac n'cheese read more

Met a friend for drinks at The Milton one night, forget what day of the week, but the happy hour is very reasonably priced! We each got a drink and shared a few appetizers - they were all delicious! They have a few nights a week called "Prohibition night" and the staff dresses up reminiscent of the prohibition era and it is super fun to see! The vibe is very casual and hipster-esque but I would recommend it to anyone. I also had brunch here one morning and it was so good! I forgot what I ordered but we got there right as they opened and got to choose where we sat. It was still winter so the outdoor seating was closed so we sat at a high-top in the bar area. The waitress was very sweet and the food came as ordered. UPDATE: The other night I had the opportunity to sit outside and have a drink at Milton's "patio". It was very nice out and the cocktails were great! My friend for the ginger bee (gin, ginger, lemon juice and some other stuff) and I got the sangria (red wine, cognac?, others). I did not love my drink because of the added liquors but I would definitely recommend going here for a post-dinner drink if you are in the area. Their outdoor seating is lovely. read more

I first went to the Milton with a co-worker several weeks ago. We were hungry and it was at the right place at the right time. We both ordered identical meals, the Milton Burger, medium rare and fries. This burger was actually one of the best burgers I have had in a long time. So much so that I couldn't wait to go back. I spoke so highly about this place to another colleague that we decided to go there again just last week. We walked in there just a few minutes after noon. In fact, the bartender / server recognized me and I did mention that I couldn't wait to go back here. We both ordered the exact same thing once again, the Milton burger with bacon - medium rare and fries. I was appalled and shocked at what was delivered to the table. The bacon looked like it was at least 48 hours old and the fries looked to be 24 hours old. My colleague and I both looked at each other in disbelief. I asked the server to come over, and asked her what her thoughts on the bacon was. She seemed a bit surprised. I said to her, how did this make it past the kitchen? She took it away, and came back a few minutes later. In the meantime, we started eating the burger and fries. This was a completely different burger and fries! It didn't seem fresh at all, and the fries were absolutely 24 hours old. There is no way on this earth that both the fries and bacon were so over cooked at this time of day...noon. They absolutely had to be at yesterday's leftovers. When we were done, I again shared my thoughts with the server, her response was, "I brought you new bacon". Are you kidding me? What was I expecting? I was expecting a bit more than 5 words. Perhaps a discount? Perhaps a manager? Perhaps a voucher for a discounted or free meal? To the owners, I would be happy to share with you the picture of the bacon that was served and my receipt to verify my patronage on both occasions. Feel free to respond. read more

I was intrigued by high ratings of this place and decided to go there for brunch. I wasn't overwhelmed by food and service, and I am being very diplomatic. My meal (eggs Benedict with smoked salmon) was mediocre; hollandaise sauce was very thick, and homemade potatoes were served practically cold. They don't have an espresso machine, and I had to order their regular coffee. The waiter forgot to bring it but when it arrived (with sugar and milk), the spoon was missing... I don't think I will visit this place again... read more

A pretty good go-to bar if you're on the upper east side. They tend to have a good happy hour drink menu in addition to small plate options. I've been here twice within the past few months, and the experience does not disappoint. Cocktails are pretty good and worth the price. Food I've ordered include the croquettes and the mac and cheese. Both were pretty solid, not too greasy or fatty. The service is usually speedy and noise level of the bar makes it a good place to catch up with a friend. Overall more tame on the spectrum of bar rowdiness, but that's definitely not a bad thing in my book. read more

We just had a wonderful dinner here. The cottage pie was just amazing and the warm cozy vibe was just what we were looking for.
