We had a nice experience. The ambiance was casual but warm, offering a comfortable atmosphere for our meal. The service was also good, with attentive and friendly staff throughout our visit. A real highlight was the freshness of the food ingredients (we had herring, mussels, fish of the day, and beef tartar); you could tell they prioritized quality. In terms of Norwegian cuisine, this restaurant certainly delivered a decent food experience. We've noticed that Norwegian food, in general, tends to be quite simplistic in its seasoning, often leaning heavily on fat and salt with less emphasis on sweet or sour notes. While this aligns with the traditional style, it's something to keep in mind if you prefer more complex flavor profiles. However, within that context, the dishes here were well-prepared and enjoyable. At the same time, we've had better Norwegian food at a lower price point. I will say the highlight was the sour cream with the herring.

We had an amazing dinner. Fresh ingredients cooked with care, so tasty! Also great they have small dishes because they allow you to taste more things. Good value. Thanks a lot

Very friendly staff and a great atmosphere. We were promptly seated and given menus. There was three of us and we ordered the standard set meal for 3 persons, we should have ordered for 2 as the food portions were large. There were 3 types of bread and generous portion of salted creamed butter, followed by steamed mussels, bone marrow, yogurt bread and pea hummus, ox cheek on bed of potatoes. We managed to finished it all however need a long walk after. Not cheap at about 750NOK per person but the quality of food and friendliness of staff justify the cost.

I had the braised Ox and mussels. Both were really delicious; OX was melting away with just the spoon. Services was quick and efficient. Restaurant is elegant and modern.

We spent our last night in Norway and wanted a special farewell meal. We have had amazing food across our 2 week trip in Norway. We had huge expectations for this restaurant especially since we made reservations well in advance but we had poor service were asked to move tables, my husband and son had the seafood tasting for two. Their food was good I ordered the beef and also fries as I am gluten-free which I said when I booked. The fries and beef came at the same time after I asked them to bring fries first with my son and husbands courses. The beef was cold, the meat was pre cut and dry and very tough. I then waited 25 minutes for cod, peas and potatoes the sauce was watery and salty. I had the same dish the night before for half the price and much more flavor. So disappointing for our last night.
