Such a chic place for drinks and eating. Loved the vibe, loved the music. All sections like outside, at the bar and at the restaurant was pretty nice
Usually need to book a table but I went lunch this time and it was available. Good service, good English. I wanted meatballs because it was in the images, but there wasn't any, so I went for seafood pasta.
There was no bowl or plate provided for shells, and I didn't want to put it on the table, so I put it in a butter bowl.
The food tasted great (strong garlic). However, I was disappointed in the size and quantity of the seafood. In the entire dish were only 2 prawns. There's only a few mussels. 1 shell was empty... some other shells were so thin it was almost nothing (1 of them had a broken shell stuck to it). Mussels are usually the biggest in the winter, it was snowing and cold, so I had assumed they would have at least been an average size mussel, but they were all tiny! It was the beginning of April. Perhaps Swedish mussels are this size? It would be better not to have gotten mussels at all. So I felt it was overpriced due to lack of seafood (275)
The video is what I was served so you can see the size of mussels and missing mussels (just a shell). Originally thought it fell out into the dish but there was nothing.
Getting another dish could be more worthwhile.

The food is great and the staff was very friendly and offered nice suggestions for food and drinks.
One of the beat stakes I had in Stockholm.

Ok so I am breaking down my review into two parts. One for the overall normal experience and the other for the special occasion.
1) Food: All the appetizers and main courses were tasty. The combo of flavors is definitely on point. Though for the lobster bisque I would personally prefer some lobster bits in it and the entrecôte ribeye itself can be a bit higher quality (nitpicking) but the seasoning and taste is good. The portions were just right so we weren’t too full or starving.
2) The service was great. Our waitress was super friendly and knew how to work the table! Honestly I don’t have too much to say because the service was that good.
3) Atmosphere was ok. Nothing stands out too much, it was fine. It could be a bit more spacious, since we bumped into the table behind us sometimes when we got up, but it was not like we couldn’t get out at all. Also parking might be a problem unless you go to the narrow parking garage nearby.
4) Price is high. It is an expensive restaurant but you get what you paid for…sort of. I think some dishes are definitely overpriced like the entrecôte which cost 450kr! Again the restaurant is located in Östermalm, an upscaled area, so what did I expect. Nevertheless, it is pricey but at least you will get good food.
So the special occasion is the reason why I am not giving a five star. It is unfortunate but I can’t ignore it.
We were there because we were celebrating a birthday. We brought a cake and asked if they could refrigerate it and serve it afterwards. Some places would do it for free, some would charge a small service charge. Both options are fine. But for how much we were spending there, I thought they would do it for free. Other restaurants might decline but that’s rare. Instead came the absolute shock of my life.
The waitress told us they could do it for a service fee, which is fine but it was for per person! I repeat, the service fee was for per person! I am not joking. The service fee ended up costing more than the cake. In fact, you could have gotten an appetizer and a main. It was ridiculously expensive. Even the waitress thought it was extremely unfair. But since it was new years soon and we weren’t gonna see each other for a while, and not to ruin the mood, we paid for the service fee.
That why I can’t give a full five star, I mean you are only giving us some plates and cutleries, why are you charging so much?? For per person??? Even though not all of us had the cake…..

Loved this place. Authentic Swedish food in a great environment that only gets better as the night moves on. Fantastic vegetarian options that incorporate Swedish traditional foods.
Quite nice location with a pretty good service concept. Huge wine card and a great food menu. Our personal service employee even knew a little German.
One of Stockholms best venues for events and parties. The venue was super pretty and gave a luxury atmosphere white the food held the same standards with some really delicious courses. Melted in your mouth.
