"Visit on 07/24/2023 We visited the restaurant around noon and ordered a la carte. I ordered a signature menu for 645 NOK with starter (reindeer tataki)/main course (grilled cod)/dessert (panna cotta) my wife ordered a risotto for 295 NOK. I was told that the reindeer tataki was out of stock but I could choose another starter. I then decided on another dish. Afterwards we unfortunately had to wait almost 1 hour, which in itself is very borderline as the restaurant was not even fully occupied. Then we both got our main course which tasted absolutely perfect. The chefs know what they are doing. However, if you read it correctly, you will now realize that something is wrong. Because my starter wasn't served beforehand. When the waitress wanted to ask me if they could serve the dessert, I asked her about it and we agreed that I would pay for the fish and the dessert separately, but that I would rather order a rhubarb parfait instead of the panna cotta. The reason why I give the service here 4 out of 5 stars is due to the action that happened now. I got my dessert relatively quickly and started to eat. Now another lady came along and also handed my wife a rhubarb parfait as house compensation. That this happened without complaining on our part at the restaurant's own initiative is worthy of all credit. However, when I wanted to pay, the price of my menu was also reduced by 50%. I've never experienced anything like this before, so it just has to be mentioned. Quality of the food 5/5 there is nothing to complain about Service needs to be faster, but problem solving is great. 4/5 Ambience is totally okay, modern restaurant at the harbor with enough outdoor seating 4/5 Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: kr 400–500 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4"

"We kind of knew the moment we walked in that we were in for a treat. The place was bustling, almost every table was full of happy folk eating, chatting and generally enjoying the place. I was worried that it was a reservations-only kind of place as Jessheim is a small town, but we were greeted and ushered-in in no time. The server seated us with a smile and came with water and provided us with English menus. I usually prefer the local menu (translation is easy with Google! but we had just arrived at the airport and the English menu looked adequately comprehensive. A bit of a debate, but we ended up with 2 dishes to share between 2 very jet-lagged diners. The Monk Fish was fabulous but small. A small fillet of monk fish was on a bed of an unctuous, umami sauce of something I couldn 't adequately identify. May be crab and lobster? Garnished with chunks of zucchini and mushrooms and a small sprinkling of little shrimp. A wedge of juicy lemon and a scoop of rice. I first tried a bite of the fish naked, and it tasted just-caught fresh and perfectly cooked. The source and a little lemon elevated it to perfection. Encountering a new restaurant, I will go for the fish as one of my 'acid tests ' and the chef at Mirabel sailed through with flying colors! Even the rice was perfection. Not the way Chinese rice would have been cooked, but the perfect texture to soak in the source and combine as an accompaniment to all the elements of the dish. The second dish we shared was the Bianchi Quattro Formaggii pizza. It looked perfect when it arrived, and I would say was the best pizza I 've eaten in the past year (and I 've eaten a lot of pizza! The cheeses were perfectly² blended and a drizzle of honey over the top before serving turned it into perfection. The salty, pungent cheese complemented by the sweet tang of honey. With pizza, the crust matters, and there was barely enough crust left to mop up all the remnants of the monk fish sauce. What a perfect first meal in Norway!!"
