Innovative, Delicious, Destination Vegan - Edit
It's no secret - this is the best place to go for a vegan meal. A date, a special occasion, a prix fixe special - and also, the Monday night Above Ground Pizza pop-up. Chef Eric & co-owner Alison have the best, freshest, locally sourced ingredients and the seasonal menu is amazing. The desserts are indisputably the best vegan desserts anywhere. They have an excellent outdoor dining area - covered in the winter and watertight. Friendly staff - excellent mixed drinks that evolve with the seasons.

Fancy food - Edit
Fancy food with beautiful plating. Service is above average. What more can you ask for? Eating at Millennium is an all-around great dining experience, and everything I've tried has been nice.

Divine and decadent! - Edit
I love this place and have been enjoying it for many years going back to the original location in SF. It's definitely my go to spot for special occasions, holidays, birthdays, date nights, and well any time. The menu is seasonal and Chef Eric and his team consistently create some of the finest dishes in all of California and quite possibly worldwide. Alison and her team are amazing and always make me feel special. This place has a permanent very special place in my heart and I always look forward to dining here. The ambiance is beautiful as well. I cannot say enough about Millennium it's hands down the absolute best restaurant in all of Northern California. Go there and see for yourself!

Keeps on Keeping On! - Edit
We've been eating at Millennium for over a decade. Never had a bad meal. This place sets the standard of what healthy, innovative vegan food can taste like. As always, my favorites were the appetizers, salads, and dessert. Little gem Cesar is heavenly, and the crispy mushrooms never fail to send us over-the-moon. Homemade ice cream begs the question, "how do they do this?" Great meal. Again.

Went here on a close friends recommendation while visiting CA. I have to say it was one of the best vegan places I’ve ever eaten at. Service was stellar - and the food was seriously next level, cooked to perfection served in ample portions at very reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

Top notch! - Edit
Had a reservation and were seated promptly. The server was helpful with recommendations, which was great when literally EVERYTHING on the menu sounded amazing. We got the fried oyster mushroom appetizer, the burger, the jerk tempeh, and crème brûlée. The oyster mushrooms were good, reminded me of fried calamari! And I have to admit I felt light weight silly ordering the burger at such a nice restaurant, but the description sounded too good for me to resist and it did not disappoint! The jerk tempeh was also legit…cooked and seasoned to perfection! Then there was dessert and that crème brûlée was legit! Such a delicious meal! Also, in case anyone else was wondering, no dress code but everyone was pretty much dressed smart casual. Highly recommend this spot!

Upscale Californian cuisine - Edit
The service is always amazing. One of our entrees came out late so they gave us a free appetizer. I've eaten here several times because it is my nonvegan mother's favorite vegan spot. This is a perfect spot for special occasions, but sometimes favors style and novelty over substance

Classic bay area vegan - Edit
Millennium is still setting the scene after all these years. I recently visited, my first time since before the pandemic, and the experience was excellent from start to finish.
Read moreAt the time, they were only doing four course meals. There was so much to like about it, but my favourite parts were probably the fried green tomatoes and Millennium burger. The breading and accompanying sauce on the tomatoes were perfect. As for the burger, it came on a pretzel bun, with fingerling potatoes and pickled cauliflower on the side; how can you go wrong with that?
And of course, the service was very good the entire way through. We were seated promptly (next to the front window), our server was very attentive, and all food was brought out in due time.
Pros: Quality food, Great service

Champion of mushrooms - Edit
Rustic industrial venue on a fun street. Prix fixe menu with plenty of variety but always includes their classic dishes like burgers which they’ve truly perfected. A perfect combination of healthy, balanced, and unique flavors, all with beautiful presentation and served by helpful and knowledgable staff.
Read morePros: Millennium burger is 💯, Prix fixe menu is absolutely worth the investment, So many delicious desserts!
Cons: The quality decreases late at night & on holidays, Prix fixe menu should be optional, More pizzas (we miss Above Ground!) ☺️😕

Exquisite meal - Edit
Chef Eric created an oil-free meal upon request and the food was amazing. Ate on the beautiful patio and the staff was so friendly and helpful. Started with nectarine gazpacho and then moved on to a purslane salad. Then enjoyed a polenta dish with porcini and red wine sauce, tempeh to die for, and a pasta with pesto. Topped it off with stone fruit sorbet and fresh nectarines. Rolled myself out and can’t wait to go back!

Great option for take out! - Edit
If you want to spend a little less, while still supporting Millennium, and not deal with booking ahead, consider ordering to go. Just did that for a special dinner at home, easily ordered the same day ( or last minute). The food still seemed freshly prepared once we got home. We had the millennium burger and mushroom beet tamal, Arborio crusted mushrooms, and seared asparagus. Each dish with unique flavors; each very satisfying.I have eaten at Millennium many times inside as well, and always enjoy the high quality of the creative dishes; highly recommend!

excellent but expensive - Edit
Most veg restaurants in the Bay Area are Asian, but the menu at Millennium was much more varied. The food is excellent and the atmosphere is elegant without being pretentious. On the down side, it is expensive. But if you want an elegant dining experience, you will find it here.

Delicious food and great service - Edit
I visited for dinner during travel to the area. The restaurant is beautifully laid out. All the dishes are creative, flavorful, and attractively presented. I ordered the tacos, maitake mushroom, and banana split mousse cake. The staff were extremely helpful with my specific request for a dish that would travel well (carrot & amarosa potato tikki), and even placed the greens in a separate box so they would not wilt during reheating. My only regret is that I don't have a second stomach!

Millennium burger - big portion, delicious
Maiko crusted mushroom - SO GOOD. flavorsome, creative, lots of vegetables, loved it
Blondie carrot cake - delicious, a lot of vegan desserts go the 'raw route' which I'm less keen on. This was amazing
Cheesecake - graham crust base rather than a raw base, also delicious
