This makes it one of the best dishes I've ever had in my life. The creamy shrimp and the dill sauce and the not too sour pickled onions paired aMAZiNGLy! Literally smiled so big as I took a bite... Probably looked creepy to other customers since I was eating alone. On the other hand... Bread basket: was mid. little cold and hard 5/10 Shrimp sandwich: 15/10 Veal liver: I loved everything about the dish, except the liver. Mashed potatoes were fantastic, gravy was amazing, liver was not it. More of a personal preference but I will not be eating liver again. (8/10) Creme brulee: It was like a flan and creme brulee fusion. The berry sauce was great. (10/10)

First impressions was the place looked like it had been here for a long time given the somewhat outdated decor. However the menu options looked very nice and everything came with a wine pairing so it made my life easy. I asked the waitress for a recommendation but ultimately ordered my first instincts. 4/5 Tomato Salad with buffalo mozzarella cheese - a nice refreshing star of to my dinner and the white wine was excellent 4/5 Meatballs - tasted very similar to Swedish meatballs and served with gravy and cranberry sauce and steamed carrots. Honestly reminded me of the meatballs that ikea has but so much better. This was so good and the red wine pairing was also very good. The waitress suggested the salmon soup and I'm definitely giving that a try if there's a next time. By the end I was very full even though it didn't seem like I had much to eat. Loved it!

Cool place to go with your dad or mom. For all the foodies this is a good restaurant to go and #reset your taste buds from all the cross kitchen coriander asian hamburger kebab sushi tapas you've been eating 24/7. Back to basics! Food: Dishes are CLASSIC Finnish restaurant dishes prepared just right. Ingredients are top notch and the cooks know how to prepare them. Can I repeat myself again, CLASSIC. Simple dishes with great taste. Steak was good, potatoes were good, the sauce was good, everything was good. Nothing for you to jump to the moon but all in all really tasty and CLASSIC. We had a couple of different dishes sirloin and tenderloin steak with cream and cognac sauce and risotto with prawns. Everything was prepared as we liked and my mom 70 years old really loved the food. For us younger generation the food represented probably the food our parents ate in restaurants in Finland between 60's and 90's. Environment: Renovated probably around 80's and that shows but not in a really bad way but in a kind of sympathetic way. You can feel the old glamour and sense the restaurants gold age being a couple of decades ago still not fading what it is today. When you walk in there is a doorman to get your coat (3€). The restaurant is quite large on the inside and there are lots of tables. A lot of tables to seat also big groups. Service: Service was really friendly and old fashioned in a good way. Food came out in a timely manner and the waiter was helpful with the menu and different choices. One of us chose the fillet steak which came flambéed by the waiter next to our table. Great show to spice up your family dinner for the old folks ;) Price: Not the most expensive restaurant but in the upper middle class. Sirloin steak 28€ and tenderloin 32€. Pretty standard for Helsinki. Taking in to account that the food was well prepared and tasty it was rather reasonable. Food: 4/5 Environment: 3,5/5 Service: 4/5 Price: 4/5
