Miller Union - Atlanta

We have dined on the day we learned from the passage of anthony bourdain, it was a reminder of how he changed the value system for the functioning of a restaurant. miller union is an authentic and total culinary and service experience in which they get the feeling that the entire staff are food enthusiasts from the front to the back.

Our meal was delicious! all the ingredients were very fresh. I got the pork talloin, which can be very dry and dirty in some restaurants, but that was anything but. it was boiled to perfection and came with a creamy rice with a fresh lemony sauce to go with it, it was fantastic. our server was amazing, I can't remember her names, but she rocked! we have been in the right direction for everything. my fellow workers had the duck and the vigilante and both said their meals were very memorable. after eating we got dessert. we shared the cookies and ice cream, holy man was so good! I don't think I had a favorite cookie, they were all baked for perfection! and the ice cream and the caramel sauce were also fantastic! if I'm back in atlanta, I'll eat here again.

Our second culinary experience in the mu. our waiter was much more friendly than waiter from our first time to eat. we luv’d start the sea snails. we share the duck and it was thought out for us divided into two plates. we had also divided the lamb shoulders on the basis of our waiter recommended. my better half liked the duck better, but I couldn't believe how the lamming shoulder just melted in my mouth. cocktails were strong and at points. the only meh was dessert. we had the chocolate cucumber, but not blown away. we have left much of it untouched.

We have been to Miller’s Union before for dinner and really liked their food menu. This time around we were seated in a very noisy and busy hallway in the restaurant which we pointed out to the hostess who then offered us seating in the bar area or on the outside patio. Both better but not in line with the kind of experience that you expect from one of the highest rated places in Atlanta. Appetizers were as expected. The downfall came with the main course. It was pork loin for me which was completely overcooked and had to be returned. On their second attempt the temperature was medium as requested but the meat was not tender at all. Quite disappointing. The restaurant did compensate this main course. Desert (Pavlova) was very good. Overall not the kind of experience we used to have at this restaurant. With all the choices available in Atlanta we probably won’t be back. Too bad.

My husband's entrée and my sides came out before my scallop entrée long enough that the waiter apologized twice. But, nothing was done to make up for it. Also, my husband's pork was overcooked and dry he only ate a couple of pieces and left the rest but the waiter did not ask if anything was wrong with it.
