Nestled in the heart of the city, it captivates diners with its impeccable blend of presentative (is that a word??) artistry and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The menu combines Nordic flavors and innovative techniques. There is no question about the quality of the ingredients. Each dish is a visual and gastronomic masterpiece, delivering a memorable journey through Norwegian cuisine. The waiter is SO knowledgeable - he really knew how to sell it! The attention to detail extends beyond the plate, with attentive staff enhancing the overall dining experience. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability is evident, with thoughtfully sourced ingredients that celebrate the region's natural bounty. Whether indulging in seafood delicacies or savoring reinvented classics, every moment was a celebrateion. It's an unassuming destination that will leave a lasting impression.

I highly recommend getting the langoustine especially if you see them swimming in the tank! You pick your own seat and the menu is in Norwegian but you can walk up to the counter and the chalkboard has the menu in English. You have to walk up to the register to order and let them know which table you are sitting at. We got the caviar symphony which includes 4 different types of caviar, Norwegian flatbread (very thin chips) and a lemon wedge. I enjoyed the this. The fish soup was decent but I neglected it cuz I was too excited about the shellfish platter! We got the large shellfish platter which costed about 755 kr (~100 USD). The platter had a good amount of shellfish that I felt full sharing it with my husband. There were 1 langoustine (steamed), two live shrimps (steamed), a large king crab body and 4 legs (?baked since it was more dry), 2 snow crab legs, and two large scallops! All super fresh! Don't hesitate to get some seafood here if you are near by!

Our waiter was ever present until our food arrived, then he disappeared. The fish soup, yes I recommend this. Absolutely delicious. Everything else was subpar. My friend ordered the king crab and it was not even edible. I think it was overcooked. It was a watery mess. My grilled salmon was also overcooked. Burnt and hard in spots. Loved the ambiance as we sat outside during a beautiful summer evening. But don't be fooled by the hype. Overpriced and poor quality food. I gave it a 2 star because of the fish soup. Would not recommend!

Emailed them several times. No response. Diner beware. You too can get screwed out of a reservation here if they feel like it. I suspect they found someone for our time who wanted the seafood dinner so they jettisoned us. I'd suggest you go elsewhere or you could be out in the cold. Never had this happen to me at any of the hundreds of places I've eaten. Gave them a bad Beli review.

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.

Another person asked if she could change her dessert because she was a diabetic. Again, we got a complete refusal to be accommodating.

[[UPDATED REVIEW: September 2022]]…read more 'Ello chaps! Return trip a few years later to a hip "Southern American" restaurant in the artsy district of Oslo, a short bus ride (or even walk) from downtown. As someone from the southern United States, where folks are judged on their fried chicken and BBQ, Lucky Bird hits it out of the park. Simply some of the BEST fried chicken I've ever had -- ANY WHERE. The chicken was perfectly moist, and the breading was crispy without feeling heavy or overly oily. The creamed corn and mashed potatoes were top notch. The only complaint about Lucky Bird is that there weren't more locations around Oslo. This is certainly a gem hiding in plain site. On the return trip the fried chicken was still living up to the standard. Delicious. Overall the sides can really put a dent in your wallet, so you want to be careful with your order. Oh, and the tea - don't order it if you're expecting a traditional southern American sweet tea. Their tea is not that. It's a mix of tea and lemonade it tasted like. This was also one of the few restaurants in Norway we found to have full service (meaning a server took your order) Overall I give Lucky Bird five stars out of five.
