Miller’s Guild is a unique restaurant located inside Hotel Max, headed up by James Beard Award-winning chef Jason Wilson. The restaurant serves brunch, lunch and dinner in a modern and chic atmosphere. Step into the space and you’ll be met with hardwoods and marble, exposed air ducts, chopped wood and an open flame at the grill straight in from the entrance. Much of the décor was designed by local artists and craftsman, which offers a clue as to what this place is all about—namely, local and finely crafted. Just about everything on the menu is made from scratch right at the restaurant. Kitchen doesn’t look big enough? That’s because there’s a prep space downstairs too!
Housemade is the name of the game, and the lengths to which Miller’s Guild will take their commitment to make everything is house is downright impressive. Go ahead. Ask your server if what you ordered was made in house. You’ll likely be impressed by exactly how much of it was!

In 2015, Miller’s Guild joined Seattle’s growing lineup of brunch spots. I tried out brunch for myself and walked away way too full and insanely pleased with the meal. The brunch menu has something to offer everyone. Even vegetarians could potentially enjoy the yogurt and granola parfait or the coffee flour waffle, but make no mistake that you’ll get more out of your time at Miller’s Guild if you eat meat!
Start your meal with Fonte coffee, one of Seattle’s local roasters, or one of the housemade juices. I tried the Beet, Ginger, Apple juice and have never felt so enamored with a glass of juice in my life. You can add a shot of liquor to the juice of your choice, or up the ante with one of the Pint Sized Mimosas. For $25, you can even get a bottomless mimosa! The Bloody Mary lineup is also a solid fixture of the brunch menu, with such inventive flavors added into the mix as goat cheese foam, truffle salt or smoked ancho chilies.
The brunch menu includes eggs, sandwiches, quiche, salads, sandwiches and even steaks. Come with an appetite.
I tried the Smoked Salmon, which featured smoked salmon mousse, lox and smoked salmon belly served alongside crackers made right in house, as well as the Grilled Albacore Tuna Sandwich with cilantro lime aioli. Both were absolutely amazing—packed with flavor combinations that were surprising in the best kind of way.
For dessert or for your meal if you’re feeling crazy, try the Bacon White Chocolate Bread Pudding. The bacon comes in the form of candied bacon cubes sprinkled on top of slices of bread pudding topped with white chocolate.
At the heart of the restaurant space is a custom-made wood grill. From any seat in the restaurant, diners can watch as meats are prepped and grilled. At times, there are even butchering demonstrations at this central station, which may not be everyone’s cup of tea. All meat served at the restaurant is butchered, smoked, grilled and otherwise prepared from start to finish right at the restaurant.
If meat is what you seek, Butcher’s Block Sundays feature some of the best Miller’s Guild has to offer. The menu is a flat rate per person and includes two types of meat or fish, seasonal greens and sides, dessert and drinks designed to complement the meal.
Miller’s Guild has an extensive wine list, as well as a few select beers on draft, original cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks.
If you’re not in the mood to drink, but still want something more than water, the bartender can create a custom mocktail based on whatever you like.
Happy hour is 2 – 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. – midnight. The happy hour menu has items such as the Wagyu beef burger or steak, as well as simpler things like a pretzel served with beer cheese.
