Miller Union
When you combine the expertise of two Atlanta restaurant veterans (previously at Watershed and Sotto Sotto) into a new modern Southern venture, you get a place that could easily rise to be one of the city’s ideal dining destinations. Miller Union serves farm-to-table comfort food, but with a high-end approach. The menu is straightforward, Southern and rustic composed of top-quality, fresh regional ingredients all prepared for selective tastes, but without elaborate dressing up.
Named after the Westside stockyards that in another era lined Marietta Street past the White Provision complex, Miller Union rests in an industrial setting, among the warehouses and train tracks. The restaurant fits the raw appeal of the area but it’s more comfortable than most cold, loft designs. A den of small, high-ceilinged rooms flow into each other, circling back to the bar that greets patrons as they arrive. Each room has a unique atmosphere, but all are warm and tie-in with the dark farm wood, steel frame form.
The setting and the food complement each other, giving Miller Union a discerning yet understated Southern appeal. We tried and liked: Farm egg baked in celery cream with rustic bread, beer braised pork shoulder, sautéed greens, brussel sprouts, and trio of rosemary, thyme and sage herb ice creams.
