"First I’ll say that I feel bad leaving a negative review as everyone we interacted was kind and trying their best. With that being said, I’m a bit baffled by our experience. The reviews are fantastic, but we did not enjoy it and it didn’t seem like an off night but rather a lack of attention to detail and quality. First, our waiter seemed inexperienced and not ready to be on his own. He had a hard time describing dishes and was just awkward in his interactions with us. The food was generally not memorable. Our first dish was a whale carpaccio which was exciting to try and I thought it was good but my fiancé did not enjoy it, and I imagine it’s not a big hit with international travelers. The main fish dish was totally over salted and the lowlight. I had been thinking of a three star review beforehand, but this was the point where I felt the experience had garnered a one star review. Before our main dish came out there was a shellfish tower that was an add on to the five course menu. We opted not to get it. Half the dining room did and as they ate it the rest of us sat around for 45 minutes waiting for the next course. Overall there was a lack of pacing to the meal and we spent a lot of time waiting. There seemed to be a lack of organization, waiters came out with food then went back to the kitchen several times or didn’t seem to know where they were going. We weren’t given a beverage list which was odd. One dish was dropped off, the waiter mentioned he’d be back to describe it and then went to another table to serve them and then came back to us. We’ve never had that happen before. People were brought to the wine cellar by one waiter and another one had brought a separate group so they awkwardly waited for the others in the hallway. There were other little oddities I can’t recall as well. Overall it’s a cute concept and the space was beautiful, but there are much better ways to spend $100+ on a dinner experience.

"The service at this restaurant was quick and efficient, even though it wasn't very crowded. The McFlurry was disappointing. I was hoping for something similar to a Dairy Queen Blizzard, with all the mix-ins throughout the ice cream. Instead, I received a small cup of soft serve vanilla with some crushed Oreos and chocolate sauce on top. The excitement was over after just a few bites, leaving only plain vanilla."

"I paid 159 kr for a kebab roll that was not very good. The menu they delivered listed it as nr. 149, which is already expensive enough. However, when I went to the shop, I found they had changed the prices on a separate menu. I was not impressed with the overall experience and will be visiting Daniel Kebab instead. I will not be returning to Mathopen Pizzeria."
