The restaurant has a pretty nice party vibe with loud music and a wide variety of drinks and food options. The staff are friendly and quick to assist, whether it's getting you seated or placing your orders. My friend and I came here to celebrate my belated birthday after catching two movies at UA Sheepshead. Since it was around 12am, there weren't that many restaurants still open. However, One Elleven was open until 2am, which was perfect for us! Below is my analysis of the overall dining experience:
Water proof - this is supposing a watermelon infused cocktail with hints of yuzu, but you definitely don't taste any of it; not the watermelon nor the yuzu. The drink tasted like a powered-up version of a liquid jolly rancher, which was both incredibly sweet and incredibly strong. Those flavors didn't compliment one another which made the drink difficult to swallow unfortunately. Definitely recommend trying some other drink since they do have many drink options available.
Bone marrow appetizer - this was actually quite good, but it can be a hit or miss! My piece of bone marrow didn't have much, but as you can see in the picture, my friend's piece had a HUGE chunk, which looked and tasted rich as hell! Overall it's a decent price and the flavors are definitely there!
Wagyu steak - this ain't no wagyu, at least not in the soft and melt-in-your-mouth kind of way. Tasted like a typical sirloin to me. Had decent flavor and was cooked exactly medium rare, but nothing much to rave about. Worth trying if you really like steak but it cuts a bit deep at 42 dollars.
Beef rib - this dish was delicious! The truffle infused pasta were very flavorful and paired really well with the beef ribs! It also comes in a pretty big portion as well, so it will fill you up!

Read moreThe restaurant is undeniably beautiful, with an impressive and stylish design. However, when it comes to the food, I was left disappointed. The high prices were not justified by the lackluster taste and presentation. I wouldn't mind paying a premium for delicious food, but when it's neither tasty nor aesthetically pleasing, it creates negative emotions.
I specifically wanted to try the borscht, as it was listed on the menu as "borscht with meat." To my surprise, there was not a single piece of meat in the dish. The other items on the menu were equally simple and, I must say, quite bland. It felt like the chef either didn't show up for work or was not in the best condition, as the dishes were far from what I expected.
The whole experience was somewhat off, and it seemed like there might be some issues in the restaurant's kitchen or management.
Overall, while the restaurant's ambiance and design are commendable, the subpar food quality, missing ingredients, and high prices left a lot to be desired. I hope they can address these issues and elevate their culinary offerings to match the stunning atmosphere they have created. Until then, I cannot recommend this restaurant for a satisfying...

I had a truly unforgettable evening at 1Elleven Bar. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was inviting and modern. The music, lighting, and energy of the space struck the perfect balance between lively and relaxed , ideal for a night out.
The cocktails were on another level, both creative and perfectly balanced. A huge shoutout to Ugine, the bartender, whose craftsmanship and attention to detail were simply outstanding. Every drink he made was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. You can tell he takes pride in his work.
The service was equally impressive. Gregory, our waiter, was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive without ever being intrusive. His recommendations were spot-on, and he made sure we felt genuinely welcomed and cared for throughout the night. Both Ugine and Gregory elevated the entire experience, they’re the kind of people who turn a good evening into a great one.
If you're looking for a place with great vibes, incredible drinks, delicious bites, and a team that truly cares, 1Elleven Bar is it. I can't wait...
