The girl who took our orders was sweet and pleasant, the others seemed in a rush and were bringing us orders from other tables by mistake. The restaurant was busy, so that's understandable.

The restaurant is simple yet elegant. They were probably three or four patrons during our visit, so it was quiet. The waiters were nice and chatty. I ordered the pizza of the month for May. I can't recall all the ingredients. But I do remember I ordered this pizza because it had chorizo. Sadly, I did not like this pizza. The pizza had a very strong smell and it had a pungent taste. I think it was the chorizo. It was probably the spices it was marinated in. Anyways, the waiter was so sweet that he gave me another pizza. This time it was a plain ham and cheese pizza. And I thoroughly enjoyed it. My friend ordered the three Norwegian cheeses. I thought it was perfect. I'm unfamiliar with what cheeses they use, but it tasted great. Now Norwegian Cuisine is pretty out there. So they do serve pizza with reindeer meat and such. I did enjoy my experience. I'm giving them 4 stars because of their awesome waiters, their cozy yet trendy ambience, creative pizzas, and superb service.

Margherita Pizza with mushrooms and 2 Aass Fatøl lager brewskies from Aass Bryggeri (Aass Brewery) on tap. Aass is a funny name and David Letterman made a joke about it few years back. Aass is a family name and an archaic spelling of ås, which means low hill. Pizza suitable for 1 person, or 2 if a snack/appetizer. I asked for Red Pepper flakes...none could be found, so I was offered black pepper. $40 USD including built-in service fee and the 25% Norwegian VAT.

This restaurant was located near our hotel and we were craving Italian food, so we checked it out. Hubby and I both ordered the Pasta Carbonara for $25.50 USD. Yes, that sounds a bit pricey, but everything is pricier here in Norway than the US. The carbonara was cooked al dente and it was so creamy, with just the right portion size. I will dream of this dish for days! We also ordered a glass of red wine each for $15.50 USD. The pour was a little small. Service was friendly and decent. The food came out really fast, but the servers didn't check on us after that, and we had to flag a server down to get the check. The restaurant is big and spacious. They have indoor seating and there's also seating outside of the restaurant in the shopping center area. Seats were comfortable and tables were clean. I'm really glad we decided to come here and weren't deterred by the 3-star average rating. I highly recommend this place.

Awful!!! If you are…read morelooking for overpriced and poorly curated and done food you've arrived at the right place. We researched first and having a 4.6 rating on Yelp figured we might have a winner. Boy, were we in for a huge disappointment! Let's start with the Halibut. We are originally from the Eastern U.S. and know top flight North Atlantic Halibut steaks from Labrador and Newfoundland, Canada. Additionally we've spent a lot of time in Homer, Alaska which is nicknamed rightfully the "Halibut Capital of the World". We know the fish, size, how to cook and season. What however we were served was a machine cut Halibut piece, a small rectangular shaped slice rather than a meaty portion of fish. It was like a flatten Mrs. Paul's fish stick! We have never seen Halibut served this way and so small. It was served with a gargantuan wedge of semi cooked cabbage with sprinkled cheese on top with some accompaniment of a starch. The fish was also a tad bit "fishy" in taste and not representative of fresh Halibut taste and structure at all. I should have mentioned that before we ordered it we split a Calamari. The Calamari was "all hat no cattle" too, small more popcorn like breading than anything else and doubtfully fresh. Nothing special. But the pièce de résistance was the steak my adult daughter ordered. She had asked for it to be done medium rare, (the waiter never asked first how she would like it - a warning sign we realized from the rear view mirror!). Instead the meat was pan seared (at best) and rare through and through. When my daughter called the waiter over he took it back to the chef in order to correct. In only a few minutes he is back again and the meat is still mostly rare!!! At this point we simply just finished our wine and gladly skipped further damage and 'desert' altogether. The view from the restaurant is great as we sat outside, but the view is for free as it is a public walkway in front of the outdoor seating Abutting the city's downtown harbor. Please! Do yourself and your company a great favor, save your hard earned NOK's and try somewhere else, you will be mightily dissatisfied and disappointed by the lack of quality of the food coupled with top tier Scandinavian prices! There are many other restaurants along this public conveyance - and surely Oslo must have better than this!
