Very nice restaurant by the water. We ordered some local beers, oysters and steam mussels. Food is great, and service is great. read more

Expensive food and crappy service try to avoid the place unless you're really needing to get something to eat

The food at this restaurant is outstanding period the fish soup was marvellous and the dish that I had was pretty darn good period it was a cold water winter cod that was prepared very nicely in what they called a Marco Polo sauce. I would have preferred a little bit more of that piece of cod given the extremely expensive price for it but it was quite good. This really was a 4.5 stars but with a bottle of Chablis for two in the end of that at nearly $250. Ouch! Jeff read more

Only reason I'm giving a 4 star review is because the service is lacking, though not bad, could be a lot better. However, food was 5 star. I'm confused by the lack of better reviews and the food at this place is amazing! read more

We stepped in for some seafood after a long day of sight seeing. What a find - we opted FYI eat at the fish market side vs in the restaurant and had a great experience. We purchased two fish which was then prepared same as the fish of the day. We also ordered some oysters, skagen, and wine. The fish was cooked to perfection and it was interesting comparing the two different fish prepared the same way with the same sides. The oysters were French and had a nice brininess to them. The skagen was the best version I've tried to date. It was nicely sized shrimp with the traditional makati dressing, but tasted lighter. It was just what we were looking for, a casual seafood dinner read more

If you love horrible service in a restaurant that's not too busy, this is the place to be. Want to know more??? Message me privately. PS: lot's of grey hair people as well read more

If you like bad service, exorbitant prices & small portions, you'll love this place. We had a 6:00 reservation & the place was empty. Mgr tried to seat us next to a wall when there were at least a dozen open tables next to a window on the water. We had a reservation. When we asked for a window table, he begrudgingly agreed, muttering that they had many tables soon to be filled. As of 8:30, the place was 3/4 empty. Scallop appetizer included 2 smallish scallops. $13 a scallop. Halibut entree was bone in. Really? About 4 oz. Each bite came at least one bone. Cauliflower puree was awful. Asparagus was pedestrian. My girlfriend's entrecote was overcooked, tough & stringy. She ate half. I had hoped to politely provide feedback to management, but alas, no manager could be found & none had the courtesy to ask how are meal was. At these prices, the service should have been top shelf, not perfunctory. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY ON THIS GIANT RIP OFF. read more

Worth an entire trip from the US just to come to this restaurant. One of the most exquisite meals we have ever had. Incredibly complex and yet perfect assortment of flavors in every dish from the memorable bread, through the remarkable sauces of the main dishes to the innovative desert. And the service was spectacular and accommodating to one of our needs to avoid shellfish with a Plan B sauce that was a very creative alternative. read more

Some of the food was delicious. All of the service was below average. For this sort of money and in a nearly empty restaurant the Eastern European girl doing service today not what u would expect for these prices. I was told this would be a great place to have my birthday lunch. Ordered my favorite wine only to have a constantly empty glass with the bottle chilling away from the table and my hanging to ask for more of my wine. If ur this disinterested in your customer at least leave the bottle at the table. Maybe the dinner service runs a tighter ship but my dining companion a well known chef in Oslo was laughing at the way this place operates. read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. If you have mentally prepared for the price tag then get ready for a delicious and unique meal! I came here with a group from work (probably 14 of us) and with a call-ahead they were able to accommodate us within a couple of hours. Great! The wine list is quite impressive. Pages and pages of selections - I went with one of the Italian wines by the glass and it was very good. They offer complimentary bread and butter while you await your appetizer and entree. It was a nice start to the meal and very appreciated that they even refilled the bread after it ran out so we could have some with dinner. I ordered the roe deer and it was delish. Cooked perfectly and covered with some kind of foam (lemon maybe?) It was accompanied by sauteed carrots and mushrooms and was overall very well put together. The other dishes looked quite exciting including the seafood soup, the king crab...actually all the dishes looked very appetizing. I did not order a dessert though many at the table did. The "Chocolate Christmas" dish looked very interesting and so did the hazelnut mango cake. While I wasn't that hungry for dessert, it was a very nice touch that they offered some complimentary sweet bites for after the meal (I think this was offered if you ordered coffee rather than dessert). I'm not sure what they were, but one was more of a cookie and the other was more of a chocolate-nougat piece. It seems that gesture is quite indicative of all the food - very thoughtful. If you are in Oslo, it's definitely worth a visit for your special occasion. The wait staff is incredible and so is the food. read more

The restaurant has a nice atmosphere- exclusive and chill at the same time. The place is not too stiff, but I would recommend to dress up a little bit. Friendly staff, only some points lost to the butler who spoke in a very low voice and with a thick accent. Some of her sentences was poorly understood. Exellent winelist! And the prices was only about three times the Vinmonopolet prices. We chose the Michel Chapoutier - Les Graves 2003 from Coravin which was a perfect match throughout the whole dinner. We had the seafood platter, two servings. First serving had a sashimi scallop/salmon dish, which was amazing. Best dish throughout the serving. King crab, reegular crab and shrimps - all cooked to perfection. The chili mayo that followed (I think I got a different one from the regular one because of my lactose intolerance) was great to combine to the meat. Great flavour! Second serving was coal-grilled lobster, langoustines and mussels - best langoustines and mussels I have tasted! As usual, the lobster disappointed me, but I seldom taste a lobster which don't. For dessert, I chose a glass of Vinsanto from 1952 - a great end to the meal. Perfect balanced aroma. read more
