Mriya is the place where we celebrated our wedding, and we’ve made it a tradition to return here for our anniversaries. This was our second anniversary, and the dinner was absolutely phenomenal! We even got the same table as last year! We were greeted with a complimentary glass of sparkling wine, which was the perfect start to the evening. For dinner, we ordered pickles, borscht, potato dumplings, duck cabbage rolls, and chicken Kiev. The food was outstanding! With a new chef in the kitchen, every dish was a delightful discovery for our taste buds. Thank you, Mriya, for making our celebration so special. We’ll definitely be back!
