    Time for an update..! But, to put it mildly, it's not going to be in their favor…read more So the kids chose where they wanted to go for dinner after an entire day at the harbor festival in Luleå. Mine and Erika's fear was of course met; O'Learys. I'm so terribly fed up with it, but the things us parents do for our kids, right? I don't mind giving a place a second (or third) chance, but this was by far the worst time ever. I ordered Joe Thornton's Striploin Steak that comes with garlic fried mushrooms, cajun butter, vegetables (carrots and haricos verts) and a choice of potatoes. Chose potato gratin and asked for my meat to be cooked rare. The moment my plate was served I only had to look at it to see it wasn't cooked properly, it looked more towards medium well. To make the initial matter worse is that the waiter said: - Striploin, well done - Ehrm, no, I ordered mine rare... - Oh sorry, I meant rare... - Well, wait just a second... And I took the steak knife, cut into the meat and said: - Look, this is almost well-done. I want a new one - Of course, we'll fix it So he wandered off with my plate while my daughter fortunately enjoyed her bbq-glazed spare ribs, our youngest son his portion of fries, and my wife her rib-eye (that she ordered medium but came more closely towards medium rare). I then got my new striploin and once again it seemed a bit off, but now against the other end of the spectrum. Bleak in color, almost no crispy char and the side cap of fat wasn't crispy or rendered down. When I cut into it it was more towards bleu instead of rare. Didn't finish the whole steak, barely even half of it. The vegetables tasted of nothing, almost cold (I suspect they didn't change them in between my pieces of meat (something you simply just do, end of discussion). The only positive note was the potato gratin, it was well-seasoned and creamy, but no potato in the world can salvage an otherwise catastrophic plate where the steak is supposed to be the hero. The only thing I'm left with is a queasy stomach and I may well be on the way towards food-poisoning, at least that's what it feels like. Undoubtedly the worst restaurant dinner experience in a long time.

    This place perplexes me to be honest. While the dining room breathes and speaks "modern…read morescandinavian dining" with restrained furnitures and contemporary elements of modern art such as a reindeer pelt, a small orange background wall, sporadic placed bright colored lounging chairs among the mostly white brick plaster walls. Though the dining experience in itself is far below par, it borderlines on bad. Our youngest son was at dance practice for a theater show he is part of so the rest of family - meaning me, my wife and the remaining two children - went here for dinner as it's closest to where they were practicing and we were hungry to say the least. The greeting serving staff (actually, there was only one waitress there that managed everything) was neither enthusiastic or inspiring, she felt more bored and like she didn't even want to be there in the first place. But looks may be decieving, and hungry kids tend to be very persuasive, so we sat down and started going over the menu. And once again this place perplexes me. The menu is stylish in white and grey and many of the dishes sound both amazing and creative. Taking into account that we had the kids with us, it's almost standard to get some plates of garlic bread on the table and this was no exception. When the two plates arrived they had the bread, green baby leaves, sundried tomatoes, olives and ai....no wait, no aioli. On either plate. But there's supposed to be aioli. My wife called upon the waitress and kindly pointed out that there was no aioli and she came out with two small bowls quite quick. For main course my wife had the hot stone beef tenderloin that you cook yourself at the table. It may be a thing of the 90's, but the meat was really tender and delicious so she was happy. I ordered a butcher's cut with basil butter, tomato sallad and red wine jus together with sweet potato fries. The meat was cooked to a nice medium rare like I ordered it, but to call five cherry tomatoes in a small bowl of oil for a salad is over the top even for me. The basil butter was an ok addition, but a different kind of dip would have been a better choice when it's served with sweet potato fries. The fries however were delicious (honestly, when are sweet potato fries ever anything but delicious?)! The red wine sauce was overly sweet, and I can't stand sweet red wine sauce, it makes my skin crawl. So what perplexes me is the percieved level of ambition they are implying with the style, decor and menu that they ultimately fall far short of. There's no connection between what I see and what I taste, and it leaves me torn. Either own up to a lower standard and go pub-style, because truly that is the category the food they currently serve belongs in, or up your game to fine dining standard. At the moment, this place is neither of it, and with this current concept I have no desire to come back at all.
