The location has several tables outside and across the street as well as several on the inside. The decor is interesting. Everything is ordered through an app and paid that way which made things very streamlined. Service is prompt but generally if we needed something it was some effort to flag down a server given how busy they were. Food The fish soup was delicious. Wonderful flavor, lots of different types of seafood (mussels, shrimp, fish). The reindeer stew was an experience. Stew was well done and topped with microgreens and lingonberries. The ice cake was like frozen whipped cream in the best way. My kiddo talked about it for days. Definitely worth checking out this restaurant!

I wish I could give this poor excuse of a restaurant a big, fat zero. I'm okay with the one star as it was cute and is in a great location. However, the food and service were awful. I had the risotto okay, so my bad for getting Italian at a Norwegian restaurant and my husband had the reindeer stew. The stew had a really good flavor. However, there was an odd, granular texture to the sauce. It kept getting thicker...not sure what thickening agent they used. Too much flour or cornstarch? Towards the end, it was more like thick pudding. The risotto was more like steamed or microwaved rice with frozen vegetables. There was no sauce, nor any type of seasoning. It was just simply bad. We kept trying to flag down staff to get salt, more water, even the check. Each time, we had to go up to the counter...and each time, staff basically rolled their eyes. In fairness, it apparently was Greek week in town...maybe they were distracted by that? But then again, there was no excuse for that risotto. Avoid!!!

There is mayo on the side. It seems simple but it was delicious. I recommend the blueberry cheesecake for dessert. They also have a buffet for people who are more hungry. It has lots of authentic Norwegian food like herring. It's worth checking out!

(They also have a guestbook for you to sign! Tried the reindeer stew, the salmon, and some apelkake. The reindeer stew had lots of flavors/herbs in it but was really good with the flatbread. I think in general, I'm not a fan of reindeer meat (too...game-y? but the dish was really good. I thought the lunch portion was small when it came out but it definitely filled me up. The salmon in butter sauce with lemon is delicious. I'd get that again. The apple cake with ice cream was also really good; it was cake with bits of apples in it, closer to cake than apple pie and different from the first apelkake I tried. The lady who helped us was super friendly. They have menus in several different languages. I'd love to come back again one day to try other food here.
