The lunch was of high quality with a salad bar, creamy soup, couple of main course options (beet and halloum cheese steaks, and chicken), and dessert coffee or tea. Such a fascinating environment - many photos and items indicating the original use - combined with friendly service and decent price for the quality make this a recommended destiny.

I tried arctic char for the first time - wild from Norway. The fish itself looks similar to a salmon. It was cooked perfectly and was very delicious and complimented the white wine perfectly.

It's a beautiful combination of continental and traditional. Wonderful service and hospitality. I will be back the next time I'm in Finland!

I came alone, so I didn't get one of the tables with a view, but that's just what happens with travelling alone sometimes. I made a reservation to be sure as I wanted 7pm on a Saturday night. If you like Nordic food then this place will definitely make you happy. Toast skagen to start: comes in two sizes, I took the small and it was very generous. Whitefish, pureed potatoes and cauliflower for the main. Lovely cream sauce and the potatoes and fish were perfect. I didn't like the grilled cauliflower at all. Strawberry and rhubarb fraisier for pudding even though I was already stuffed. Very good service. I would return in a minute if I ever visit Helsinki again.

We were unable to get a reservation online so we decided to see if we can walk in and we were warmly received. We were given a very comfortable table in the center of the dining room.

Service was very friendly and helpful. We then finished with an apple dessert. We almost returned the second night, but we were too tired from sightseeing all day. I highly recommend this location and would definitely return in the future.

Decoration and atmosphere were elegant but not too sophisticated so you feel special but without pressure. Service was great, professional and efficient. When I looked around I noticed quite few young professional people enjoying their meals as well although first impression might be that this place is more for mature people. Menu is gathered with season specialties and place is very well known for their grill (beefs and fish) and some classics which definitely I can understand why they are still around after all these years. Also they have great selection of wine and beer to complement your food. For starter we had "BEEF TARTAR15,50€ hollandaise sauce and green asparagus from our charcoal grill" which was divine.. Best! For main course "FRIED SCALLOPS29,50€ asparagus risotto, scallops" was perfectly cooked and super delicious.. I felt asparagus in the risotto was little too chunky but taste was perfect. Also portions are really big so, also house bread was fresh and yummy. Over all I can see myself going back cold winter evening and indulge myself with something from the grill and nice red wine. Food won't let you down.. Go and check out their web site and read their menu.. Nam!
