What is good - finally one of the Arsenal’s buildings brought back to life. And now to food:
As far as I understand from answers of the owner the concept was to combine restaurants with the best food in one place. I’m not sure this worked: to combine trendy places - maybe yes, but that does not necessarily mean they have the best food.
Some sushi rolls for example in the range of 500 UAH and it was ok
Chicken Kyiv around 140 though it was tasty.
Pasta around 200 and it was ok
Also got a dessert from Milkbar and it was a huge disappointment! I do understand the place is not directly responsible for the taste of food their vendors sell, but if you want only places with great food, what does this does do here?! And service was bad (though at this particular place)
Lack of toilets (please do not start to tell about the “state standards”) but they are clean with paper towels and this is good
No parking lot. There was a comment of an owner that it is being organized, but this is the matter - normally we shall expect all the infrastructure to be launched simultaneously with the place. But of course, parking lot will not bring those profits, so let the guests with this pain of finding a spot.
Also smell: we spent there 3 hours I guess, on the second floor and my coat and scarf smell with food like I was at the kitchen.
Okay, this place not a disaster - nice design, lively, nice people. But did it manage to bring all the best food in one place - no. Did it manage to deliver good price/quality - no. May pop in for a coffee and a chat with friends but for food better go to some other places.
