About the restaurant

Nestled in an intimate space in the East Village, Bar Miller is the showcase omakase restaurant from the sushi concept Rosella. Just a few blocks away, our 8-seat sushi bar is seated twice nightly for a tasting menu that features local, sustainably-sourced ingredients.

Domestic beer, wine, and cider shape a drink program that stays true to our approach to the menu, while the sake list highlights Brooklyn-based breweries and less conventional styles from Japan.

Bar Miller happily accommodates solo diners. Please email info@barmiller with your reservation request and we will follow up!

About the restaurant

Craftsmanship at its finest is displayed at Sushi Noz, where guests experience our seasonal omakase menu curated nightly by Chef Nozomu Abe. Known as "Noz" to his friends, Abe-san is part of a movement from Japan advancing Edomae-style sushi, incorporating aging and preparation techniques that date back to Japan's Edo period. Upon entering the restaurant, guests are transported by the Sukiya-style wooden interior, which was assembled using more than a dozen types of cedar. The centerpiece of our first dining room is our 8-seat, 200-year-old hinoki wood sushi bar and traditional ice chest, where Chef Noz refrigerates the evening's neta selections. Our second dining room features a sushi bar made from tamo ash wood, which accommodates an additional 6 guests. We welcome our guests in true Japanese hospitality, offering two nightly seatings at each counter.

This was not just a very nice and tasty dinner - this was a culinary experience that was incredible. The fish was insanely fresh and good. Sake was flowing, the staff were authentic and nice - they seemed to be invested in making this a night to remember. The manager (perhaps owner) was friendly and seemed to be having as much fun as the guests as he answered questions,filled.our cups, told us stories, made recommendations of places to find a nice cocktail. The ambiance was also incredible but all of it together put the guests at ease and even though we hadn't known each other before it felt like we were fining with friends - laughing and talking throughout the entire meal. I highly recommend this wonderful place and look forward to my next visit in the city when I will hopefully dine there again!!
