This was a more casual outpost of their regular restaurant across the way. The menu was smaller so no salmon soup for example but we did get the grilled salmon. It was lightly grilled and almost a bit too rare for my wife who hates overcooked salmon. She really did enjoy it since this salmon was so fresh. The serving was a decent size and the bed of mashed potatoes was very good (lots of butter)! Service was lightning fast. Prices were reasonable for Norway ( which means expensive compared to most other places).

We ordered the 8 course menu with a Prosecco as a welcome drink. There were many exciting varieties consisting of fish, shellfish, meat and a dessert. Some of the dishes challenged the taste buds but it was very tasty. The only thing that was a little bit 'disappointing' if I may say so, was the meat course which consisted of a kind of taco-course with pulled pork and tortilla. Please don't misunderstand - it tasted good but compared with the rest of the dishes it was a little bit more like something you serve home with your family a a Friday evening. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The interior is stylish and has an exclusive touch. Are you are a party of several persons who want to enjoy a good meal in a social setting, this place is perfect.

We also got a side order of grilled broccolini to get our daily dose of greens. I can definitely understand why the Saucy Joe is one of their bestsellers! I loved the combination of the cheesy sauce with the BBQ-glazed bacon. The beef patty was perfectly cooked and buns were nicely toasted. The burger didn't feel too greasy either. The grilled broccolini was nice as a side with delightful charred bits - I think it was overpriced given the small portion size though and wish it came with more. They also have a healthy selection of beers on tap and intriguing cocktails that I'd love to pair with a burger during my next visit!

The service was very good and our waiter both friendly and quick to keep those beer glasses filled, which we like. We were served some of the best tapas I have tasted in a long time, completely void of oily sausages and over spiced meat balls. Our mixture of scallops, hare, fish, veil and mussels were prepared to tasty perfection, without leaving us with that classical "oil and sause everywhere" feeling that tend to follow the tapas experience, at least here in Norway. I almost felt like I was eating healthy, and I mean that in the best possible way, not the "carrot and dry celery" kind of way. We visited on a Thuesday, so the place weren't busy and the atmosphere was very quiet. Still, we liked the interior, and the layout of the tables made us feel quite secluded from other parties, which is a good thing when you're a Norwegian and prefer to mingle only with the people that you came with. With Escalón, I might just have found my favorite tapas place in Oslo.

This is usually a clear sign that something is amiss. We were seated in a long table section and our menu had been pre-ordered ahead of time. We could either order the salmon or the game stew. The meal included a beer or wine as well. When one person in our group asked for a simple cup of hot water, the server flatly refused and said it wasn't part of the agreed upon menu. Another person asked if she could change her dessert because she was a diabetic. Again, we got a complete refusal to be accommodating. The food was decent, but nothing worth putting up with cold, unhelpful, and indifferent service for. I can see why the locals don't eat here.
