Fantastic food with 10 courses and accompanying lovely wines. Service is extremely good. Always smiling and explaining. Nothing is impossible to arrange. Recommended.

Ordered 5 dishes and it was very good food and nice service.

Perfect place to celebrate anniversaries and the restaurant has the attention to details like dress a plat with desserts.

Hard to decide what I enjoyed most, the food, service or wine. It's a perfect example for why weekday lunch is such a lovely time to visit finer dining restaurants, as you can get to know a place in a way that isn't accessible during peak service periods. Thank you for a wonderful afternoon, I will definitely schedule in another visit for when I'm next in Oslo!

A completely miserable handling of an allergy situation by the head waiter – this ruined the whole evening. The waiters (who were replaced several times throughout the evening) were nice, but it doesn't help much when ALLERGIES are not taken seriously. My sweetheart had booked a table here to celebrate my birthday, and good communication beforehand raised our expectations. We got to taste several wines before choosing, which was positive, and the starter was good. When the main course was served, it was the head waiter who brought the food. He immediately had to take my dish back to the kitchen because it contained egg – something I feared when I saw the breaded food on the plate. We had notified the allergy three times earlier: when ordering, when arriving and when ordering food. Nevertheless, my sweetheart ended up having to eat alone while I waited for a new dish. Of course, they should have taken her food away too, so that we could have been served at the same time. In addition, both wine and water glasses were left empty for long periods before anyone came to the table, partly because they chose to place the wine and water bottles on a neighboring table instead of with us. The head waiter also showed no form of humility or understanding of the situation. This could have led to an ambulance having to be called in the worst case if I had trusted him without asking follow-up questions. I have never experienced such arrogance at a restaurant.

As expected. Good in all areas.

Ate 10 courses, was a great experience, the food was really good and the presentation was absolutely first class. Lots of exciting flavors and good value for money. A huge plus that they had their own juice menu that went perfectly with all the dishes. A great alternative for those of us who don't drink alcohol. Of course they have excellent wines too. The waiters were really good and explained all the dishes. Was a really cozy and a real taste experience. Highly recommended.

My husband and I went on February 14th. We had an amazing experience; the food was exquisite and the wine tasting was spectacular. I highly recommend it. ❤️

It was a fantastic 10-course meal at an unbeatable price. We spent a wonderful 3 hours with you. Thank you so much.

The head chef was pleasant, and the staff appeared to be welcoming and service-minded. However, the whole thing doesn't work – structure, follow-up and quality at all levels are failing, which appears to be a management responsibility. I have worked closely with operations and quality in fine dining restaurants, and have a good understanding of what is required. Unfortunately, this restaurant does not live up to the level that can be expected. The staff had several clear opportunities to correct mistakes along the way, but a lack of routines and follow-up meant that this did not happen. Unfortunately, the ingredients used did not meet the expected quality. When the food was served, there was no follow-up at the table to ensure that everything was in order or that the food tasted as expected. The fish (halibut) was severely overcooked, with a distinct and unpleasant fishy taste. I was unable to eat the dish, and when the plate was cleared away, no one asked why it was untouched. Only when we were about to leave did the head chef come over and ask about the experience. We then explained that the fish was not good and was overcooked, and were told that this should be noted. In a restaurant that wants to appear as fine dining, one would expect a new dish to be offered or that the dish be taken off the bill when it cannot be eaten. My roommate had a birthday, which we clearly stated in the order. This was not followed up, and she received no form of attention. We ordered sparkling water and paid for a whole bottle, but the bottle was taken away from the table, and we only received two glasses. The fact that the place was full and the staff was overloaded cannot go beyond basic service. This is not about difficult guests, but about a lack of management and quality assurance. Experience shows that good follow-up and routines can also be maintained in busy restaurants, regardless of type and level. In comparison, I have experienced that fish dishes at other established restaurants are of a higher standard. This is far from Michelin level, and I unfortunately cannot recommend the restaurant. My feedback is intended as constructive criticism, and I hope it can be useful.
