"Usually when I stay in Oslo, I am staying at a hotel that serves some sort of a breakfast buffet. This time I am not, so needed to find someplace to fill that need. (and I didn't want to just do a cafe run). A friend reccomended this place and it was a couple of blocks away from where I am staying so I gave it a shot (bonus was that it's open at 0730 M-F, so for someone jet lagged, it was a great way to kill some time early in the morning) Got in and got seated (breakfast restaurants aren't really a thing in Norway, so it was empty when I arrived). Ordered the fried Brussels sprouts as a snack and the eggs, bacon and hash browns as a main w/ locally made sourdough bread from a local bakery on the side. The food was all presented well and tasted great. The hash browns were less shredded potatoes as puréed, then fried. (still tasted fine) and the eggs were scrambled perfectly with the bacon crisped up and sprinkled on top with some sprouts. The bread came lightly oiled and fried (so no need for butter). The Brussels sprouted were roasted with some peppers and served on top of some aioli. Service was great, food was great and will come back at least one more time before I leave town. Yes, it's pretty expensive (this all ran me $35 converting from NOK to USD) but Norway in general has a high cost of living, so this is on par with any other sit down meal in a comparable restaurant."

"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"
