100 rokiv tomu vpered

We booked a table for our anniversary. Sadly our experience started out a bit sad with no guidance in regards with the wine. First we had a waiter that hadn't tried the wines we asked about, and when my ukranian girlfriend took over and tried in local language he replied a bit passive aggressive instead of just sending another waiter. He eventually did just that, but still even with a new waiter the information was lacking and not accurate compared to the wine we ordered and were served. The borsch we got as first serving was delicious albeit a bit to the sweet side. That can be a culinary choice though, and we did find it tasty. Another slight disappointment was that there wasn't a refill of the bread that we finished as we ate the borsch. Main courses - ribs and varenyky - were decent and lived up to expectations, but didn't exceed them. We decided to skip dessert and call it a night. Another disappointment is the vibe and decor/interior. As it is now it doesn't feel like anything special, and there is definitely room for improvement. Overall I want to stress that I have nothing but the utmost respect and sympathy for the help and service to the ukrainian forces that the establissement have shown over the years. This review is honest because I feel like there is potential here, but it is sadly not realised yet. Especially with the service, which I've gotten used to is at such a high level in Ukraine. Even in small local establishments, so a high end restaurant should be able to meet a higher standard. Look forward to come back one day and have my previous experience proven wrong. Slava Ukraini!

It's worth all it's hype. A must visit place for any visitor of Kyiv. Mind-blowing combinations of Ukrainian traditional flavours and modern techniques, somehow being simple and fancy at the same time. Special thanks to the next level trained service, the waiter (from Luhansk, just like myself) made an interactive presentation of the dishes, asking us to guess the ingredients, and every dish had something we couldn't imagine. Very inspiring, very unique. Highly recommended. Prepare your wallets tho.

One of the five best meals of my life. Don’t hold back - try everything (even the edible bees!)! I have traveled to over 60 countries, and this is one of the five best culinary experiences OF MY LIFE. I’d give more stars if they were available here. Not a single sip or bite was anything less than unforgettable.

Everything was excellent — great atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food with a modern twist on local traditions. Stylish interior, central location, and very welcoming. Warm hospitality, with Kyiv’s own unique energy. Highly recommended!

Very delicious cuisine. Waiters are very attentive and patient. Good location and pleasant atmosphere. I was there in summer, and ordered a set of 8 dishes. I did not know what it was until they brought the dishes one by one. I tastes and was supposed to guess the ingredients of each dish. That was really fun 😄 They make original dishes from various food. Also, it was served very nicely. Definitely recommend ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We ordered the tasting menu: ingredients were very high quality representing recipes and cooking techniques from different parts of Ukraine. I think we got a bit unlucky with the service however: our sever would not check on us and we had to get up to catch her to ask for appropriate silverware (e.g steak knives for steak). An odd thing for me was that as our first dish was brought out, I asked what it was and a waiter said: “we don’t say”. Okay, I guess it’s a concept. Then our main waiter came by as we were chewing through our food and started quizzing us on what ingredients we think were in it. I know it might be fun for someone, but I didn’t like that fact that no one explained this expectation at the beginning of the experience. In any case, the interior design was lovely and the tasting experience memorable.

On my first visit to Kiev, I couldn't have picked a better restaurant. Thank you so much to the hostess Maria, who took great care of me, explained everything and definitely has cables for all the cell phones in the world 😁 when you need to charge your phone. A charged power bank from her is a matter of course. What followed after that, I highly recommend to everyone. Very balanced and full of flavor, excellent combinations and the overall experience here, was TOP. All of the staff were super friendly with very good English. I will definitely come back, on my next visit to Ukraine.

This place is amazing. I love Ukrainian meals with creative menu. Stuff is very polite and know menu completely. Atmosphere is simple, cozy, friendly. I recommend the restaurant to visit
