Mmm, Miller Union’s menu looks mighty good

889

Tonight is Miller Union’s third night open to the public. The westside partnership of executive chef Steven Satterfield (long of Watershed, pictured right) and general manager Neal McCarthy (long of Sotto Sotto) is one of the restaurants I’ve most anticipated opening this year. Satterfield has a simple, clean take on American/Southern cooking, and the space, a sly twining of rustic and modern, looks like a beautiful place to spend the evening.

Here’s a peek at the most recent version of the opening menu that I’ve seen. It speaks for itself—farm baked egg in celery cream? Slow braised rabbit in grits? Olive oil cake with sherried oranges? I see a busy weekend in these folks’ future. (999 Brady Avenue, 678-733-8550)
