A nice if pricey spot for upscaled Ukrainian food. I am not a huge fan of Eastern European cuisine but was excited to try Ukrainian food for the first time. Some of the dishes was super yummy - the borsch, varenyky, chicken Kyiv, and honey cake were great, and the cocktail menu is fun and innovative. That said, almost every dish had a fault that stopped it one step short of excellence - the salted fish and rösti dish was too salty, the sorbet in the tomato salad too icy, and the chicken Kyiv needed a touch more sauce. Service was likewise inconsistent - one of our servers was delightful, happy to recommend dishes, and attentive; the other was unsmiling, silent, and didn’t pay any attention to us at all. Combined with a very hefty check at the end, it left us with a slightly bitter taste in our mouths; it just didn’t feel special enough for what we paid. That said, if you’re a fan of Ukrainian food and want to try a modern take on it, I definitely recommend Mriya. And it’s always great to support an independent Ukrainian business in these trying times!
We had a lovely evening of great food, nice wine, and excellent service. It is the first time I have had a high end Ukrainian meal, but I have fond memories of my mum's and Baba's (grandma) home made Ukrainian food. This was certainly different from those simple meals and it was thoroughly enjoyable from beginning to end. The 'Odessa Black' wine was full bodied and tasty, the varenyky dumplings were beautifully made and presented, and the beef cheek stew was tender and lightly spiced.
Highly recommended for something a bit different and a pleasant evening.
If you’ve never had any version of Ukrainian food, check Mriya out. Upscale Ukrainian food with a great atmosphere both inside and out. The servers are attentive and provide great recommendations. The borsch is my favorite, simple yet intricate. Better than my mamas and my babas, but I won’t tell them. Thank you for a wonderful experience every since time.
