Did the 13 course meal over the weekend. Great ambiance and service. The food was delicious and insanely reasonably priced for that big of a multi course meal. Would absolutely do it time and again.
Amazing evening! Food was perfectly balanced, with good wine pairing. Ira was an amazing waitress 🙌 Good knowledge in wines and spotless serving. Highly recommend for both a business dinner or a more private date. Enjoy!
This was a beautiful experience. I went with my boyfriend today and i think we gonna repeat. The waitress Anna was so kind and professional, tusen takk Anna. This experience and with the wine menu is a MUST!
We had a wonderful experience dining here. We tried the Sunday tasting menu: creative dishes, lots of courses and great value for the price. The restaurant has a really cozy and polished atmosphere. Our waitress was super friendly and did a great job explaining the concept and the dishes. We were surprised by the number of dishes and the generous portions. For that price, it seemed too good to be true but they truly exceeded our expectations! We loved the mushroom ravioli with truffle foam and the tuna tartare with fried pasta acting as crostini, genius. Each dish had a lovely freshness to it and every course was simply delicious. We will definitely be back!
We were a group of four and opted for the full 13-course tasting menu. Two of us also went for the 5-cocktail pairing. Overall, the food was delicious – well-balanced flavors and beautifully presented dishes. Naturally, not every course was a hit for everyone; the tartare, for example, wasn’t to any of our tastes. Still, we thoroughly enjoyed the rest, and surprisingly, the highlight turned out to be a sweet corn soup – absolutely amazing! The cocktail pairing felt a bit much by the end. Next time, we’d probably order drinks at our own pace rather than go for the full pairing. The venue is stylish and had a more polished feel than the Basso in Oslo, which I’ve also visited. Service was excellent – our waiter was very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. He spoke only English, but that was no issue for us. The total came to around 5,000 NOK for the four of us (excluding tip), which we found very reasonable considering the number of dishes and the cocktails included. This isn’t the kind of place you just pop into – you’re there for the full experience, which lasts close to three hours (same as in Oslo). But that’s the point – it’s meant to be social. Only downside: the chair I had felt quite unstable, to the point where I thought I might fall off. I even swapped it with another, and it had the same issue. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. Also, a small minus for not accepting American Express.
