About the restaurant
Nestled in an intimate space in the East Village, Bar Miller is the showcase omakase restaurant from the sushi concept Rosella. Just a few blocks away, our 8-seat sushi bar is seated twice nightly for a tasting menu that features local, sustainably-sourced ingredients.

Domestic beer, wine, and cider shape a drink program that stays true to our approach to the menu, while the sake list highlights Brooklyn-based breweries and less conventional styles from Japan.

Bar Miller happily accommodates solo diners. Please email info@barmiller with your reservation request and we will follow up!

We loved every thing about Bar Miller. The young chefs were so much fun, the food was fantastic. The som introduced us to some sakes we didn’t know. The convivial atmosphere turns a traditional omakase bar on its head. We will be back for sure.

We loved this place! We drove by it many times but decided to stop by Friday night. The service was attentive, and the food was amazing! This will be a regular upscale date-night ristorante for us. Kudos to the staff and ownership.

Mike’s has been my go-to spot in New York for years, and for good reason. It’s all about the details—every aspect is flawlessly executed. Beyond the exceptional quality of the food, which is simply divine, the experience is meticulously crafted from the moment you arrive. The warm reception, the perfectly set tables, and the impeccable service all reflect a commitment to excellence. The waitstaff’s expertise is particularly impressive; they not only provide seamless service but also have an in-depth understanding of every dish, readily explaining its preparation and ingredients with ease.

First visit but won’t be my last. We were a party of three, work peers, and we try to get out every few months to enjoy good food and drink. Started with the arancini, Caesar salad and beef carpaccio (which says for 2 pp but it could have fed at least four as an appetizer). Each was delicious - crisp romaine, plenty of shaved Parmesan, perfect “weight” salad dressing. Rice balls were crispy on the outside, savory on the inside. We followed that with the Chicken Milanese and my coworkers had the same thing - the pasta with lobster and shrimp. The chicken is an enormous serving easily a couple could split and get a pasta as a side! We couldn’t possibly have the dessert, but next time perhaps we’ll skip three appetizers and save room for dessert!

We made a spur of the moment Birthday brunch reservation at Caviar! What a delight! I live to”dine” and relax and there could not have been a more lovely place than Caviar Russe!From John who confirmed our reservation to Armando - the maitre de our dining experience was complete! The original presentation and menu choices were superior! Having dined at Per Se in NYC Caviar Russe surpassed the experience! From the Caviar service and champagne and wine selections to the three course menu every bite was better than the last! The Hudson Valley Foi gras was presented so beautifully and delicious! The tasmanian trout over a white sweet potato puree with lemongrass oil was spectacular! If you have the opportunity to experience this Michelin star restaurant it is worth every calorie!

Astoria
About the restaurant
VIA VAI is a Chef-Owner run restaurant, serving contemporary and authentic Italian food that one would find in the best restaurants and trattorie in today's Italy.

The restaurant is rustic cozy and charming, with a slate and marble top bar serving only select Italian wines, and local and imported tap and bottled beer, that pair perfectly with the artisanal food prepared every day on the premises, and the brick oven roman-style (thin crust) pizza cooked in the imported Italian oven.

Chef-owner Antonio Morichini is Roman born and bred. He did his culinary education and training in Italy, working in some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in Rome. His food is loyal to tradition, but forward looking.
