The Milton

I love this restaurant. I frequently visit on my way home from work when I know I really don’t want to cook but need a flavorful and filling meal. The options on the menu hits the spot every time. The staff are all sweet angels who are kind, courteous and amazing at what they do. I love being in this restaurant/bar and thoroughly enjoy bringing those I love and care about to enjoy this place as well.

I'm in NYC for the week from Virginia, so I expect any restaurant I go to, to be really good, but The Milton was awesome! Fabulous food, amazing NYC vibe and atmosphere, and friendly staff. My wife and I shared the fish and chips, and one may wonder how any restaurant could improve on such a common dish, but the Milton did it. Fish was cooked to perfection and those fries were just right. My son had the cottage pie that he said was incredibly good, and his partner had the tuna tar-tar which she pronounced to be fabulous. Next time we're in the city, we'll be back. Thanks!

Had an early dinner today. Party of 4 with 1 being immuno compromised. Restaurant was beyond accomodating as far as seating us away from other diners (it was too hot to sit outside) Food was excellent and service was amazing! We had the spinach & artichoke dip to start and it came with homemade chips which were delicious. Two of us had fish & chips - extra crispy on the outside without being dry inside - so good! Others had cottage pie and Irish burrito which they both enjoyed. If we are ever in the area again, we will be back!

Overall rating: 4.4 I’m a bit jaded in my review. I lived nearby about 8 years ago & still live in the past when they didn’t have TVs. At one point the spot turned into an attempted sports bar with folksy decorations and I strongly disliked the change. I haven’t been back since until recently this year. I went around 9 and it was very calm and chill, which is my style. The bartender was nice and felt very knowledgeable when we asked about different cocktails. There was still a tv, but it wasn’t on and the music was indie. I would come back if I was in the area. Recommend if you’re not the typical UES yuppie crowd and looking for a change of calm scenery.

If you are looking to host a small gathering with friends and family, look no further. We hosted our baby shower at the Milton this past June and I cannot express enough how helpful Paul the manager and the staff at the Milton were. Paul gave us ideas on layout and flow for the party, he was amazing! The staff were super friendly to our guests and efficient. The food and service was excellent. Even though our party was a short 3 hours, we did it this way so that people that came from far with kids can go home at a decent time. Once our time-frame was over, we stayed at the bar with the few friends that stayed after. Everyone had a great time! Thank you Paul and his staff for such an amazing event! :)
