It was our first time here, and we look forward to coming back to try their weekend brunch buffet and cocktails. read more

Eleven - 11/15/24: Honolulu Restaurant Week (11/9/24-11/17/24) Whiskey Experience (only $24) - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

I just love this place! Here are the reasons why: - Good SMOKY old fashioned! It is hard to find places that smoke their drinks. They have a very high powered smoker which just ads that little yummy touch to the drink. - We usually just pop in, no reservations and can get seating with no problems. - They also have a reasonably priced brunch buffet they offer on the weekends. - Remember, this is not like a full fledged restaurant with heavy food options. They are small plates, more of a place to either start or finish your evening. - #1 reason we go- the staff! We love to sit at bar counters and when you have bar staff that are not only attentive but talkative and fun- makes the entire night better! This weekend we had the pleasure of chatting with Allan (pronounced All-An), Tim and their chef (so sorry I can't remember his name!) They are just the best. Not sure what you want? Talk to them! They will help you figure it out. Really nice crew and we would highly recommend visiting Eleven Location: If you have never been... it is INSIDE the Foodland Ala Moana store. Go into the store and go straight back on the left side towards the liquor section. If it is after the Foodland is closed. Their door is on the outside of the building closest to Piikoi. read more

We tried the pork belly with puffed rice with was really good which reminded us of Vietnamese tet kho. "Bugga was mean" -my BF With the anniversary deal, we got an angels envy old fashion for $8.44 which is a steal and tried an ichiro chichibu whisky which we also liked. In addition, tried the signature low ABV cocktail, "pineapple ice", which is great for lightweights like myself. However it was a little pricey at $17 Overall it was a great experience with good service, food and drinks! read more

This review is for their $35 holiday brunch buffet. I love buffets because I get to try a variety of different foods, but they can get expensive. This one is perfect if you don't want to go all out but still have the option of eating as much as you want. I was able to get one of the last spots on OpenTable the day I made the reservation. I called to confirm and they actually said I could come earlier! The interior is intimate and classy. The buffet is a single long table down the center of the restaurant. You can only take from one side, but lines were not an issue when I went. Some of my favorite dishes were the curry kabocha soup, potato gratin, and short rib (so tender!). My absolute favorite was the chicken, surprisingly. It had a nori arare crust and was really moist inside! The butterscotch hot chocolate I got was also super festive and comforting. The desserts were the least memorable part; maybe I was too full from the food but I didn't find myself wanting to finish the desserts I got. The chocolate peppermint one was good though. Keep in mind if you come at a later reservation slot, there is a chance that some items will have ran out. So don't be a grinch about it like another party I witnessed. The staff was kind enough to replace a protein that ran out with a different dish. So I got to try even more variety! Haha I really love this concept and hope they continue it in the future. read more

"I don't want to live, I want to love first and live incidentally." - Zelda Fitzgerald Blasé. Blasé. Not much loving here! My cocktail homie and I had ELEVEN on our list for months. The planets finally aligned and we decided to slip in after a night of fancy at Margotta. Located in Foodland Farms Ala Moana parking is easy peasy. It sounds odd located in a grocery story, but props on the aesthetics and sophisticated lines. However, oh nvm! I had a five paragraph draft going on, but won't waste my breath and don't want to get personal with the waiter eyeing my homie's skirt and my Armani belt lol. *snap* you wish lol. We just felt an odd vibe here. We had dinner earlier, so just ordered small plates of BEEF & BRIOCHE and SAKE CURED SALMON, but both fell flat. The Herbsaint Absinthe and Le PARISIAN saved ELEVEN from Eleven minus Nine equals Two Stars! Instead I'll round up and I'll be okay with granting Three Stars! ELEVEN FOOD - 3-STARS! ELEVEN COCKTAILS - 4-STARS! ELEVEN SERVICE - 2-STARS! ELEVEN was one of the weirdest encounters I've had for cocktails. The potential of a Zelda speakeasy is there, but the vibes just off. I've been to Speakeasies in Paris, London and Kyōtō, so maybe my standards are just at a different level? Nah! He was just weird AF! Please follow my adventures on IG: @eric_travel_guru read more

Don't be surprised that there is this hidden restaurant inside Foodland Ala Moana shopping center. If it wasn't for my friend told me about it. I will never know about this restaurant. They have this $35 brunch on Saturday and Sunday morning. Inside the restaurant, they have bar seating and table seating. I found out the table seating has different type of table. Some of the tables are higher and some other the table is shorter. I found the shorter table. It's not that comfortable for eating because the height of the table is too low in my opinion, you have to kind of bend down to eat. Regarding the menu, they have salad, fruit, some pastry and about eight hot food items, such as pork chop, salmon, vegetable, etc. but the highlight of the brunch is the prime rib. The prime rib is cooked perfectly to my taste, (medium rare.). In my own opinion, if you eat 2 to 3 pieces of prime rib, you get your money worth already. The brunch also comes with one free drink, coffee, hot tea or iced tea. The staffs are really friendly, we end up talking to the people works at the bar the entire time of our lunch. They also have a bathroom right inside the restaurant that you don't have to go elsewhere to look for one, it is a unisex bathroom. It's pretty clean. I also learn that in the evening, it is kind of a whiskey tasting that they offer small plates instead of real dinner food. We will definitely go back from time to time to enjoy the brunch. Reservation is a must. read more

For the month of December, Foodland Farms in Ala Moana Center is doing something new. Their restaurant/bar is doing a weekend holiday brunch buffet for $35pp. I just had to try it out because it is the holidays, and it is pretty reasonably priced. BTW, did you know that it is called Eleven because the Foodland Ala Moana store is the 11th Foodland to open on Oahu? Cool. First of all, you won't find all the glitzy bells and whistles of your pricier buffets. No crab legs. No prime rib carving station. No omelet station. You will find some pretty good and creative dishes, though. To start, of the little breakfast pastries, I loved the coconut danish and chocolate banana macadamia bread. Fresh fruit included kiwi & berries and persimmons & dates. The winter greens with pecans & pears and a citrus maple vinaigrette was refreshing. The hot items were impressive as well, but the winner for me was the roasted chicken with togarashi crust and ume glaze. It was tender on the inside with a crispy skin. So tasty! The sticky short ribs were fork tender. Don't leave without checking out the dessert tray. The lilikoi curd tart should not be missed! Coffee and tea are also included but give one of their holiday beverages a taste. I really enjoyed my pomegranate mimosa. It's a nice upgrade from the traditional mimosa. I look forward to seeing more special events like this from Eleven. We wish this was offered more regularly. Maybe because this is a new venture, we did notice service was a bit slow. read more

The food was delicious. The price is awesome . Service was great except when we checked in the 2 people at the front counter were not very friendly. They didn't even crack a smile. Bring that was my first impression of the place I was a bit worried that this maybe a mistake in coming here. But turns out it was just those 2 that probably woke up on the wrong side of the bed. It's a very small intimate place and I liked that. You have to try this place! All the food was delicious but the soup was not warm enough for me read more

I had no idea this cool new whiskey bar existed until my friends invited me to go there after dinner. It's behind a discreet door in Foodland Ala Moana that opens into a classy but relaxed space with a large bar and tables. Love the elegant chill vibe! The menu was so creative and inviting I had a hard time deciding what to get. I was full but I wanted to try so many things! I decided on the Oolong Rouge-a lovely floral gin-based cocktail served in a martini glass with a maraschino cherry after tasting my friend's. Her hubby had a smoked whiskey drink that was also delicious and came with a presentation. I like popcorn but theirs is one of the best and most gourmet I've ever had! Of course adding bacon fat and grated Parmesan makes anything rich and good! Combined with the sage makes it next level! I couldn't stop eating it. Dying to go back!! And now I will with fellow Yelpers!! Chaching!! Holiday cheering!!! read more

First, let me say that it is difficult to get someone on the phone to make a reservation. Second, it is even more difficult to find availability for this brunch buffet on Open Table. That being said, we appreciate the hostess finding space for us on the day we dropped in to check it out. Yes, we did have to wait about an hour, but we were accommodated, and the customer service here is good. The restaurant is small, and seating is limited. The buffet options were also limited but.. it is only $35 per person. The Kabocha Curry soup was different but tasty. Fruits were fresh and mostly sweet. I really enjoyed the Fuyu persimmon and dried dates salad. It was tart and sweet, yet refreshing. Reminded me of a "mui" type taste. There was a small pastry selection. The best of those were the nutella croissants. Airy and chocolaty! The french toast and the breakfast scramble were okay. There was also Jasmine rice, grilled broccolini, thick slab bacon (looked like pork belly), fingerling potatoes, asian sticky "rib," and roast chicken. I enjoyed the potatoes, and the sticky rib was one of the better dishes. We didn't try their Christmas drinks but did get a coke and a complimentary iced tea. Side note, soda is not refillable. I don't think we will be back to this brunch buffet any time soon. There were just not enough items that we enjoyed to make this trip again. read more

Nestled away on the Ewa side of Ala Moana Shopping Center behind (or backside of) Foodland Farms lies a little gem of a place. If you are looking for a quiet place to chill after work or just hang out with friends and enjoy a cocktail or two, this is great place to escape from the busyness of the Food Court or even Hookipa Terrace on the 4th floor of the mall. They have a fine selection of signature cocktails, as well as am impressive list of notable whiskeys and spirits. They also serve small plates (pupus or tapas). The small plates are the perfect size, not too filling but just enough while sipping a cocktail. The place is a calm, relaxing atmosphere. They are now offering brunch buffets on weekends through the end of the year. Great service, great place to escape, and you can even do your grocery shopping on the way home. LOL. And of course, plenty of mall parking. read more

Love the ambience and the service. It's a very nice and elegant bar. This is hidden in the Foodland farms Ala Moana. There's a red door pass the counters when you enter through the store or there's a red door closer to Piikoi if you're entering from the outside. If you like whiskey this is the place. They have a large selection of whiskeys and they call it "whiskey business". They also have many cocktails to choose from The oysters were our favorites. The hamachi is also a must try. read more

This is a review for the weekend brunch buffet. It was around 11-12 noon on Saturday, so towards the end of the buffet. Setting is nice, not very packed when we were there. Prime rib was very good and the corn chowder was good. The other hot items were a bit cold and dry. Desserts were unremarkable, and there wasn't enough of some desserts for everyone to try one. No drinks included. Not worth $39. read more

Located in ala moana foodland in the back by the alcohol. This place is perfect for a date or grabbing drinks with a friend. Service was very prompt and friendly. My first time here I asked if there were any Yuzu drinks and the server was able to ask the bartender to make me one! Yuzu salty dog is literally my favorite drink now. It has Yuzu, gin, and matcha. I will get this every time. The basil gimlet redux was also my favorite: egg white, gin, lime, basil. Yum!! Food was also pretty tasty. The potato chips are actually delicious paired with the beef and brioche and for the bone marrow you get 3 pieces! Definitely coming back for the drinks and trying out new food! read more

This place has cool chill kinda atmosphere and stylish interior. The service was excellent. Kakaako Mule was refreshing but it wasn't strong enough for my liking so I switched up to cognac on the rock, which was good. As for foods, had potato chips that was good, sake cured salmon that was good yet I wasn't crazy about it, and beef & brioche that was just okay because there wasn't enough beef part. Overall, I like the bar. But it's not worth the hustle to make a reservation. Just walk in and see if you can get a seat or even without. read more

A decent place to take a break from shopping and bonus points for being open later than most of the mall bars. Ambience is nice (downright plush for being inside a supermarket!) although the service was lukewarm at best. We entered and stood awkwardly at the door for about a minute before we decided to just go seat ourselves at the bar. We sat there in front of the bartender for about 5-8 minutes before he acknowledged us. I eventually got up and grabbed a QR code to see the menu and when he saw I did that, he snatched the QR code and put it behind the bar and gave us paper menus. We didn't really feel welcome but we were there so we decided to order. The drink I got ("Pandanimal") was AMAZING. I had it without liquor and it reminded me of a very yummy creamsicle drink. Like a boba creme tea that's missing the boba. Orange, coconut and vanilla. I highly recommend!! It's obvious the bartender is a seasoned professional. My friend had a cosmo, a bowl of the potato chips (they use the same seasoning on the chips as the famous Foodland salt and vinegar wings I think) and the lobster melt. She enjoyed everything although I was not a fan. The lobster dish was really salty (and I love salt!) and the chips were overcooked. And salty. I don't think the server said anything when they dropped off the food, just dropped it down and ran off. We left and nobody acknowledged us or said "thank you". I found this cold shoulder throughout the entire time we were there strange for the high prices of everything. Overall it's a cute spot to go with the girls or on a date if you don't care about good service. They have a LOT of choices of whisky, whiskey and bourbons although the menu is limited. read more

Same stars, no change from my initial visit. And disappointed when they don't have some items like pistachio baklava, sweet potato pie and roast pork. What I like: -Butternut squash soup: very creamy -Brussel sprout -Poke -Scone The chicken with nishime is super salty; fruits not too fresh. Service alright, at least they refill my ice tea 3 times but not in a timely manner (when your suggested tips is starting from 20%, I would expect better). They are not busy compare to last time I went. I won't be back after this visit, but they are cheap for AYCE purpose. read more

I've been wanting to try eleven for a while now, ever since my friend met his girlfriend here. The drinks: nice and strong, just how I like it. I had the Cosmopolita and it was strong on the tequila but went down smooth and so easy. Tequila is my girl and she didn't disappoint. My boyfriend was adventurous and tried the pandanimal, which was not my cup of tea. Love it for being creative and having a unique flavor. The pandan was very strong and had a aftertaste. If you're into something different this is a good go to. Our friend had the holiday drink, sugar and spice. It was definitely my favorite drink out of the three due to the spiced cinnamon, holiday vibes and strong spirit forward drink. Drinks were reasonably priced for their strength and taste. Can't wait to try some other drinks read more

The world food tour duo made a return visit to Eleven inside Foodland at Ala Moana Center. We like this spot because you can get interesting cocktails and a varied assortment of small plates. This time we opted for a bottle of wine ... They have yet to expand their wine offerings; we selected the sole red wine available by the bottle, a 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir from Nicolas Potel ($54). It was light and smooth (for a 2020); a modicum of red fruit ... perfectly acceptable wine for the food we planned to order. We started with the "must have" House Fried Potato Chips accompanied by a dish of Worcestershire aioli, the Beef & Brioche and the Prosciutto Asparagus. The chips are thick and crispy and the aioli is the icing. The asparagus dish was fine; I still think they should wrap the prosciutto around the asparagus instead of leaving in a pile on the side of the plate. This was the first time we tried the Beef & Brioche; I expected it to be tartare atop a slice of brioche ... It was a mini sandwich of nicely flavored tartare (shiso, serrano chili and truffle oil). I should have ordered two dishes! Once we cleared the initial set of plates, we ordered Bacon Candy, Hamachi Carpaccio and Bone Marrow. I loved the bacon; nicely cooked slices of apple smoked bacon comes in a glass with bourbon Molasses; it's meat candy and probably my favorite dish of the evening. The Hamachi Carpaccio was a disappointment; we've had this before and this time the Yuzu Kosho overpowered everything else; all I could taste was salt. A little goes a l-o-n-g way. My palate was numbed by the kosho so I cleansed it with wine. The bone marrow was a mixed bag; it came with two nice pieces of bone marrow but the chive pistou was seared too much; it was almost black and I couldn't taste the chives. The marrow underneath was fine so it was still an enjoyable dish. I topped the meal with a French press coffee; it was brewed too light for my taste but I will always take a French press coffee. Final thoughts? Our second visit was not as successful as the first. I would like to see a more subtle hand on seasoning of some dishes and an expanded wine list. One bottle of red is just not acceptable. However, the venue is appealing and the prices are reasonable. For that, a guarded recommendation ... order well and you'll be happy. read more

For my notes: Went for brunch buffet. I thought the food was kinda just ok. It's a small selection but a couple of things weren't bad. The restaurant is sorta small and we sat right by the entrance, which was kinda noisy and people keep walking in to check out the place so it's noisy. The service was good and I think they did a good job replenishing the buffet items if they ran out. read more

What a fabulous spot! It was a little tricky to find (included a picture of the door) but once we got in, we were seated at the bar without a reservation. The interior is spectacular- really tastefully designed and the bar is amazing to look at. Our bartender and waitstaff were very helpful and we ended up ordering drinks and a dessert plate. Both were great! The desserts aren't your run of the mill desserts, and each bite was really well curated with an amazing blend of flavors. The drinks were STRONG- I literally only needed one! The menu is quite large and you have a great selection of whiskey if that's your thing. read more

Disappointing food. Good music...contemporary setting but alas! The food is mediocre. (What happened?!) Ahi crudo-very pretty presentation but the taste was fishy. Thumbs down. Bone marrow-not enough marrow-all burnt breadcrumbs. Chips with Tabasco and Worcestershire aioli-expected this to be hot and freshly made. Cold and bland. Pretty food that doesn't taste good. The only saving grace at this point are the tasty drinks. This is a nice place to meet friends for drinks. But pass on the food for now. Located near R.Field in Foodland Ala Moana. read more

Looking for someplace to eat on Easter morning and came across this place while picking up coffee. I kindly asked the gentlemen (bearded man wearing a lei) at the podium if he could accommodate two people. He abruptly said "Sorry we can't accommodate you." Wow, not even a "Wow, so sorry but we're super busy this morning for Easter but we'd love for you to come back. We're open on Saturday and Sunday." Nothing of the kind!! I was super excited to find this small hidden restaurant in our local market but now I won't be back. Too bad because of employees like this, your local grocery store that has a restaurant in it will lose out on local customers. Auwe!!!!!!! read more

Classy speakeasy vibes found in Foodland Farms Ala Moana. You can access it from inside the store or from the outside. A lovely choice for a romantic date, girl's night or group night. Lighting is dim, but still illuminated. There isn't a plethora of seating so reservations are a good idea. Parking: Ample parking, however the stalls directly in front of Foodland are all limited time parkings. Not sure if the mall monitors this but to be safe we parked on the opposing side (beach side), since it was just a short walk across the marked crossing by the main light entrance. This is the back side entrance. Drink: (~$16-18) Really some of the best local inspired drinks you will ever have. I am definitely one who appreciates when there is a great balance between tasting the spirit AND tasing the noted flavors. In my opinion, Eleven has mastered this. The Bicol Express was an absolute homerun. A Filipino inspired spirit with hints of ginger, jalapeno and coconut. A lovely play on an almost savory flavor profile, with the added "hands on" aspect of stabbing each tropical jelly. The drink itself is clear, so it's unique that each sip is packed with flavor. The Oolang Rouge was another notable, unique drink. We also tried the Jan-Ken-Po, Kope-Negroni and the Lapsang Manhattan. All good, if you like a very "spirit-forwad" taste. AKA.... It's Strong! Food: (~$5-20) We tried a varaiety of their "bar-bites" type of offerings. This is more of a "pre-game" place. Not really a place to fill up on as a meal. However, the food was excellent. All dishes have such amazing depth of flavor. Most noted for me were the HOKKAIDO SCALLOPS. We also tried the Beef and Brioche, House Fried Potato Chips, Popcorn and Hamachi Carpaccio. Note, carpaccio was market price ~$20, but well worth it! Service: Service was top-notch. We were immediately greeting upon arriving. We had multiple servers wait on us. Each very knowledgable and able to accomodate our requests. Best of all, the water refill service! It is always a big plus for me when the staff is nice enough to continually refill our waters. Great job! **NOTE: they also have weekend brunch Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 1:30 pm (last seating). Currently, $35 pp, $16 p child (10 and under). Heard many good things but haven't had the chance to try yet. They even have a PRIME RIB CARVING STATION. ** read more

Went to eleven for brunch with the gals because we wanted to try it out. The price was $35 per person. Selection is just like what was on the menu, but food was not worth it for the price they charge. The roasted chicken was dry and lacked flavor. The garlic rice they had same situation it was bland. The egg scramble again also bland. The only thing that was really worth eating was the corn chowder, braised meat, and the dessert they give towards the end. The service was very fast and server was attentive, but for the $35 price tag the food was not worth it, you're better off going to other buffets for less then $35 and better flavored food. read more

Eleven - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

In the words of my friend Alex, "Dathan loves going to speakeasies." Well Alex, you're not wrong. Eleven is another addition to the hidden bar theme that's infiltrated Hawaii in the past decade, joining Gaslamp, Harry's Hardware Emporium, Backbar (RIP my favorite bar), and more. But Eleven has them all beat in one regard: Parking. Located in the fancy Foodland in Ala Moana next to the hard liquor behind an opaque wall, Eleven offers a full bar with a number of fancy cocktails focused primarily on whiskey and spirits. If you want wine, walk across the grocery store to the R. Field wine bar on the other side, this place is for us hard drinkers, not you snooty wine sippers. Anyways, Eleven offers a classy interior, comfortable seats, and handmade cocktails along with a variety of hipster food. My friends and I started off with the delightfully smoky old fashioned Hay Day, the cosmopolitan, the French Martini, accompanied with the very untraditional chawanmushi. Our second round was the off the menu penicillin and a custom mezcal drink for my tequila loving friend. The Hay Day came with a Bar Leather Apron style show, with the drink delivered shrouded in smoke, with a glass container waiting for the patron to pull out their camera to video the smoky escape. It was a delightfully balanced drink with a hint on smoke. The French Martini was a bit too much citrus for me, but my friend finished it real quick with a smile on her face. My tequila friend seemed to enjoy this Cosmo, openly stating he likes girly drinks. Now for that chawanmushi. Normally, chawanmushi is served warm, but this chawanmushi was served ice cold, with big chunks of king crab, with salmon caviar with the egg slightly flavored with corn. This was delicious, but a bit small. I'd take this form of chawanmushi over any of the warm ones. Our server worked with my friend to find a custom mezcal that would suit his taste. We had to ask if anyone behind the bar could make a Penicillin and thankfully they could, with a nice Glenlivet 12 for a balanced flavor and a balanced price. They have some harder to find whiskeys like Taiwanese Kavalan and all of their whiskeys can be made into a various forms like highballs, manhattans, old fashioned, etc, or just neat if you're into that. Staff are impeccable, know their stuff and are very polite. The sole bathroom is clean but obviously unisex. Reservations recommended and can be made online via opentable. Highly recommended. Also love that great parking. read more

What a hidden gem inside of the Ala Moana Foodland Farms. Big fan of their old fashion drinks in which you can add a variety of ways to have it prepared like smoked. I really enjoyed the popcorn and chips with aioli sauce. Portions were adequate given the price. Their customer service is what really stands out. I had a drink that I did not care for, the Mezcal Mule and they removed it from the tab. Not many places would do that. Definitely coming back again. read more

Eleven is a bar located inside of the Foodland in Ala Moana. Although located in the grocery store, the bar is completely separate from the store. The entrance is on the left (past the registers). The ambience inside is what I would describe as kind of upscale, it's nothing like other bars I've been to which are normally loud and crowded. This is a great place to go to if you want to go somewhere a little fancier for drinks. They have a wide variety of interesting drinks to choose from and some food. The food was good, but they're all appetizers so don't come here expecting a meal. It's also hard to share the food as most of them are made for one person (like the toast) and they aren't dishes you can just pick off of. I highly recommend coming here before or after dinner if you're looking for somewhere to have a nice get together. I'm excited to come back and try more of the drinks! read more

Everything, great place to mingle w/friends and family. Great service and ambience, presentation of food good, great value for the price.

Eleven hasn't been open very long, but we've already been there 4 times - with different sets of friends! hehe, What can I say? We're fans! FOOD/DRINKS: It's a "drinks and pupus" type place, so I don't recommend visiting here thinking you're getting massive entrees. My friends and I usually order several pupus and share all of them - I recommend the popcorn, chips, and the ice cream! The wonderful thing about Eleven is they source most of their ingredients locally and some of the ingredients can be found in the grocery store. ATMOSPHERE: I tell people it's a speakeasy atmosphere even though it is technically not? (I think) There is an entrance inside Foodland and another outside for after the grocery store closes. You walk into a completely different vibe - you're transported into a beautiful upscale-ish Hawaiian bar. But not the type of Hawaiian you see on haole TV shows. It represents the rich and beautiful culture of the island. SERVICE: Make sure to make your reservation on their website. I can never get a reservation on the same day, so book it a couple of days in advance. The service is friendly aloha spirit. The folks will explain the whole menu if it is your first time. Will I return? YES, YES, YES. I come here a lot! read more

Eleven is a gorgeous speakeasy-like bar in the back of Foodland Farms Ala Moana. Once you enter the space, you get transported into an upscale bar with unique cocktails and pupus.

I am wary of restaurants or bars set up Inside a grocery store. Retail department stores in Honolulu have successfully done it by hiring experienced outside food and beverage management. Grocers usually try to get by with inexperienced managers already on hand and it often doesn't work. Eleven was set up to offer a spirit forward experience without overlapping the offerings outside at R Fields. They want it accessible without being intimidating. Without a full kitchen the experience is more bar than restaurant. And the bar has potential to shine. A brass ice stamp with the Eleven logo creates a new unique experience for newcomers. Pair it with a dome lid cocktail smoker and you have a bespoke offering. The tartines are the most substantial fare you'll find. They're generally good but hard to share. I love the prosciutto asparagus. I found the butter poached shrimp with creme fraiche a messy wet disaster. If you want to know where the emphasis is, look at their whole page offering - Whiskey Business. There are the usual overpriced whiskey driven by demand. Some of the lowest priced offerings are very good values. Availability of higher allocated whiskey is unpredictable so ask courteously about bottles off menu. Some might be offered and gone in less than a week. With a new staff there are a lot of issues that need to be worked out, starting with a consistent welcoming presence at the door, to bartenders having their mise en place in order. But Eleven is a worthwhile accessible destination if you want a spirit forward experience. read more
