Sustainable omakase with innovative dishes & local ingredients
"In the East Village, this omakase counter maintained its one-star status." - Melissa McCart
"Bar Miller, in the East Village, rejects the notion that any worthwhile sushi experience requires passport stamps (for the fish). The sushi restaurant sources nearly all of its ingredients from the United States, and it makes Massachusetts mackerel feel just as luxurious as a Hokkaido scallop. It's the city’s best example of what sushi consumption could look like in the future—and, if you have $250 to spend, it happens to make a very delicious argument." - team infatuation
"Born from the omakase spirit first shaped at Rosella, this eight-seat sanctuary led by chef James Dumapit showcases only domestically sourced fish and Hudson Valley rice, with every grain and slice curated to forge connections between chef and guest and between tradition and innovation. "Bar Miller is a tiny, gorgeous eight-seat restaurant. The menu is a mix of traditional sushi and innovative dishes, all using local seafood and produce." Candlelight flickers off custom handcrafted plates, seasonal ice creams finish the meal, and sustainability and luxury—along with community and craftsmanship—flourish in a room no larger than a living room, a vision affirmed by its first MICHELIN Star. It’s important to know how small and intimate the restaurant is—there’s no escaping one another—but the space is conducive to building relationships, and we even won over many Rosella regulars here. The chawanmushi with dashi-butter poached sablefish is a favorite; dinner is $250 per person with optional add-ons around $35, drinks average $40, or opt for a $125 wine and sake pairing, and there’s no dress code." - Kevin Chau
"The team behind Rosella is expanding with a new eight-seat omakase counter in the East Village. Like Rosella, Bar Miller will spotlight North American seafood and local produce, this time in the form of a 15-course meal with nigiri, sashimi, chawanmushi, and a variety of pickled and preserved ingredients. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - bryan kim, neha talreja, willa moore
"This one-star sibling to Rosella features a 15-course sustainable omakase that starts at $390 for two people; an option for a single diner isn’t available on its OpenTable." - Eater Staff
