The second floor is for reservations only and I recommend a reservation. It's not hard to book but do book as early as you can to get the normal time slots. I checked maybe 2.5 months ago and all the time slots for dinner were available, but a couple weeks later, only the early dinner time slots like 4pm is available. The service is nice but not frequent and the host is friendly. We were allowed to use the restroom before my reservation time. I love the menu, it carries so many Nordic traditional dishes, such as the whale steak, reindeer steak, Atlantic wolffish (catfish), deer stew, mussels, etc. We ordered the grilled reindeer steak and the pan fried wolffish. Both are beautifully plated, good portions and delicious with the right amount of seasoning. The Nordic cuisine likes to use local fruits to add sweetness to the sauce. I took out 1star because t hey are pricy. For entrees in the price range of 40-60 is fine, but when the desserts are priced at 20+, they lose the marginal satisfaction. Great location, great food. If your time in Bergen is short, this is one proper meal worth splurging on.

Also, when the water jugs ran out of water, the server would quickly replenish the jugs without asking while leaving our water jugs empty when we had finished our water!!

Overall, the experience was not that great plus it is not easy to climb up several steep steps of stairway to get to a restaurant!

The area was a bit warmer than was ideal, but it was mostly impart to the intense evening sun coming in all the glass. Service that evening was subpar, but the food was all amazing! We ordered our first Norwegian fish soup and it was better than I ever could have imagined. Like the absolute best bouillabaisse you've yet to have.

Unfortunately, we were given very little time to look over the menu and felt rushed to place our order. Since we were put on the spot, I asked the server for a recommendation and ordered a beef stir-fry. Before ordering, we specifically asked if the beef was breaded, and the server quickly replied that it was not. When my meal arrived, the beef was in fact breaded, which was disappointing. The food itself was very bland and lacked the bold flavors you typically expect from Thai cuisine. While the service was fast, it wasn't attentive. At the table next to us, another guest ordered Pad Thai and asked for soy sauce, but it took the server about 10 minutes to bring it. Overall, this was not a great dining experience. Between the rushed ordering, incorrect information about the dish, bland food, and inattentive service, I would recommend trying a different Thai restaurant if you're visiting the area.
