11 Mirrors Restaurant & Bar by FACE the Service — Restaurant in Kyiv

Perhaps it was an off night at 11 Mirrors kitchen, but the food here was by far the worst I've had in years. I am never a negative person and rarely post a bad review about anyone, even after a bad experience. But this is more of a warning to any international visitors who may be lured into this spot based on looks. . Long story short, both my girl and I ended up back in our room vomiting and regretting the entire experience. Basically, a ruined Friday night. A night we were truly looking forward to spending together and enjoying after a long week. . We are from NYC and used to great food. We also travel all over the world and eat at both Michelin restaurants and not-so-fancy restaurants which offer incredible local cuisine. . On the positive side, 11 Mirrors is a really cool place, awesome atmosphere, great drinks - feels like you're in London. But they should stop right there. At most, maybe offer some small bar bites. Stick to serving incredible cocktails. . Their kitchen is a classic attempt at refined cuisine by a chef who clearly has no experience in true fine food. He or she is simply only good at adorning beautiful plates. They are pretty, but that is about it. The moment they touch your pallet, you immediately understand this is no better than subpar hotel room servivce or late night delivery of McDonalds. . Their seafood is NOT fresh, we should have understood this when they brought out a Monkfish taster compliments of the chef. It was really bad. I ordered black cod, and when it arrived it was completely overcooked. It had the consistency of chewing gum and tasted as if it were sitting in a refrigerator for a week. Perhaps it is not ordered so often as it is the most expensive menu item. But they should throw out old fish, not save it and wait until someone orders it. Totally unacceptable for this price bracket. At least fresh fish. . I apologized and gave it back, told them it's ok to charge me for it but that I couldn't eat it. They were kind enough to take it off our bill. . I then ordered a fillet mignon. Figured to stick to their meats. Sadly, it came grossly undercooked, fully rare on the inside and just not a good quality meat. I asked them to please cook it a bit more, as I had ordered medium rare. Yet it still wasn't ok. It was just then burnt on the outside, with the inside exactly as it came originally. The chef had thrown it on a searing pan instead of an oven to properly cook the inside. Finally they brought it over a 3rd time, with half the filet properly cooked and the other half same as before. Was an unfortunate mess. . My girl ordered the Lamb rack, which was decent at first but after a few bites discoverer an uncooked slab towards the middle. It just seems they don't have proper kitchen equipment or just dont have experience in cooking. She also had a nori salmon roll, which tasted like old refrigerated supermarket fish. . Overall, I truly feel bad writing such a review but this can't just go unnoticed. Specially with the confusion that occurs with reviews for the hotel. The hotel is amazing, the rooftop is super cool, the drinks are awesome. But DO NOT come here for dinner. . They should truly reevaluate their strategy. Perhaps just serve simple bar bites and focus on being a really cool rooftop. You don't have to be everything - be amazing at the things you do very well. . As a business owner, this is my advice for 11 Mirrors. Stick to what you are good at. If you will be serving food, buy fresh and high quality meats and fish, invest in a proper commericial kitchen and hire a great chef. Your investment will pay off handsomely as you have a beautiful venue with tremendous potential. You could be world class with the right chef in the kitchen. . If we had come here just for drinks and a good time, I'd be a regular and more than happy to spend money here every night without thinking twice of the bill. Unfortunately, after the experience we had, I would never want to experience this...

The ambiance is very nice and the view is great if you are sitting right on the entrance. Waiters were very professional, sweet and helpful & in line with the hygiene requirements. The carpaccio could be better (it was okay for its price) it had a gummy bear feel to it. The Burrata could also be classified as an “okay” since it was a bit soaked with the tomato’s juice but the plate itself went amazing with the bread they brought. Bread and butter were served only when we asked for them which wasn’t very “fine dine” of them. Goat Cheese Salad was great I loved the plate, very rich and tasty. The cocktails were absolutely fire. The dessert was out of this world! It was a delight; super tasty, sweet...
