This place isn't just your average Irish pub, it's a very cool upscale pub! Having been here before for just drinks, it has been on my radar to return after having seen the intriguing food menu, specifically truffle chicken nuggets. (Why yes, chicken nuggets are my favorite food)
Also having loved the cocktail menu here in the past, I was excited to try some new drinks. I tried the Miltonian, and then had the Straw Sombrero. Both good, but the Straw Sombrero was amazing, and I would've had 5 more if they weren't $12/pop.
Onto the food…the truffle chicken nuggets were amazing, as I thought they'd be. The yellow beet sweet & sour sauce was much tastier than I thought it would be and was my favorite of the 2 dipping options.
I opted to top of my chicken appetizer, with a chicken entrée, and ordered the half roasted organic chicken, which was shockingly moist, tender and much tastier than I imagined, being at a pub-style restaurant. My boyfriend had the cottage pie, which was similar to a shepherd's pie, but made with short rib. Looked phenomenal, but I didn't try it! He enjoyed very much!
The menu doesn't offer a huge selection of options, but definitely has some good comfort items available and I'd come back and try the burger sometime. They have a good amount of beer listed on the menu, lots in bottles/cans. Prices are a little high for the style of restaurant but they deserve it with the high quality of the food. The Milton for the win!
What a delightful Irish gastropub in the UES. Truly a gem, so glad I found it via a friend's suggestion for brunch.
They have a great brunch menu w/ most entrees $14-16 that come w/ a choice of mimosa/screwdriver/bloodymary/coffee/tea.
Had some trouble deciding on an entree but went with the ham and grilled cheese. Debated at first given pictures of this plate on Yelp don't look exactly appetizing, but don't let that fool you. My grilled cheese was topped w/ sharp molten cheddar cheese and filled with tasty thin-sliced ham. The sunnyside eggs on top brought it all together, and the fries that come with it are spot-on. Altogether a savory satisfying brunch plate. Couldn't have asked for more. My friends each got a diff entree and they all enjoyed theirs.
The ambience is also cozy without being grungy. Has a great European vibe to it. Service was awesome too.
Notably excellent service, warm and inviting atmosphere, (mostly) tasty and imaginative menu…The Milton has all the makings of the perfect neighborhood spot, which in my opinion, it is!
I came here with some pals on a Saturday night, at 10pm the bar and all the back-of-house tabletops were full. The crowd was a perfect mix of younger and older locals and not a shred of pretension was in the air. It felt more like a your living room occupied by a large group of strangers than an actual bar/restaurant. We ordered a handful including mixed drinks, an appetizer, salad, and an entree and were all-in-all impressed at the quality for pub fare. There's a bit of fusion/confusion happening with the menu considering the Milton has both Irish and British roots with a splash of New American-esk dishes but the food was still solid. Of everything we tried most notable was the mac and cheese pie which had a marvelous flavor and was rich and plentiful.
It's places like this that the Upper East Side needs to continue it's growth and it's business owners like them that make going for some simple bar food just all the more pleasant.
Needed a yummy brunch place in the Upper East Side and this place sold me on the fact that a drink was included with the brunch entrée. I made reservations on a Saturday at 1 and were seated with no issues. The restaurant itself had a nice rustic vibe. A good place to sit and catch up with friends and family. The service was really nice and we ordered the bloody marys which were nice and spicy, accompanied by two big olives which I loved.
As for the food, my sister and I shared the Ploughmans brunch and Chef's masterpiece, ranging $15-17 which was a good deal considering the amount of food and it being accompanied with a drink choice. The Ploughman's brunch was presented beautifully and was equally delicious. The English muffins were toasted well, giving a good crunchy contrast to the two big slabs of cream cheese provided and the deep red heirloom tomatoes. The salmon was smoky and soft to the bite. It also came with raw red onion which I avoided just because I wanted to avoid onion breath for the remainder of the day but my sister had it with everything and it looked like a delicious addition. It also came with two deviled eggs. The yolk part was super creamy. A yummy nibble with the rest of the meal.
As for the Chef's masterpiece, it was nice and buttery and came out piping hot. Baked eggs surrounded by bits of sausage, mushrooms and ricotta. Every bite was a nice surprise and complemented each other well. The toasted bread was also great to scoop up those eggs.
Overall, everything was very good quality and full of flavor. Definitely recommended for a casual brunch try in the Upper East Side.
I stopped by after going to my 10 year high school reunion at a school on the UES.
We sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful views of the second avenue subway line construction.
I had a bite to eat and a bit to drink drink and nothing stood out as being particularly amazing.
But the waitress was super awesome, which is always nice.
First thing's first: they are consistent on their hours and close at 4AM. Huge props for UES. Secondly, the bartenders are very nice. Nice selection of craft. their brunch was good but I have yet to try their pot pie. Until then they get 4 stars.
Solid spot for food and/or drinks in Yorkville.
I came here with a couple of friends earlier this month (4/1/16) for a casual dinner and some liquid persuasion to kick off the weekend. Overall, we enjoyed our experience.
The restaurant had a welcoming vibe, featuring a larger bar near the front, table seating towards the back, friendly staff members, and lively crowd. We were able to grab a table in the dining area with little to no wait, and our server was highly attentive despite the restaurant being busy.
The cocktails were very good. The "Long Day at the Office" was a nice blend of bourbon and vermouth, and the "Straw Sombrero" had a favorable spice given the appropriate use of chipotle-infused tequila. Extra credit goes to the bartender, who did an excellent job of preparing a somewhat rare off-the-menu cocktail for one of my friends.
The food was great. We started with the truffle chicken nuggets, and they were awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the cottage pie as an entrée, which included tasty Guinness-braised short rib. Others at my table liked the deviled eggs, coconut curry chicken potpie, and their version of a Sloppy Joe called the "Irish Joe."
I definitely recommend coming here for a casual dinner or drink. Their brunch menu also looked appetizing, which I hope to try sometime soon!
This place is fantastic.
The decor is so cozy that I could see myself in here on a Sunday morning (if I were to venture into a bar on a Sunday morning) but fun enough with a great crowd that would do justice to a Saturday night. The bathrooms are clean and very roomy. This is one of those bars that is moody enough to make you feel very cool all the time.
Now on to the actual drinks and food – WOW! Not your standard bar food. Not your average watered down or badly made drink. The bartenders here definitely have the training and talent to make a GREAT drink. A bit on the strong side but entirely satisfying and always delicious. The service is quick and the whole staff is very attentive. I had a few different appetizers but what stands out the most and has been haunting me with cravings since my last visit is the AMAZING chicken nuggets. These are a must. More than one order is enough and do not share with anyone!! These are the perfect consistency of crispy and juicy with that upscale truffle flavor and mouthwatering dipping sauces. If you order anything, just got for this and you will be satisfied enough.
The owner came out and mingled with us for a while – excellent attitude with a lot of pride in his bar.
Recommended for ANY TIME. You won't be disappointed.
