    No table cloth was provided to us. Sparkling water was dead; as if the bottle had been opened for days. Mussels were cold. Rockling was overcooked, hard and extremely salty - no flavour. Could taste excessive oil in the waffle - waiter was boasting all about it and it was underwhelming . Same waiter also spoke high of the rockling and said everyone who had it loved it- I beg to differ. Did not bother to try your dessert. Cod roe that came with the waffle - roe had a very hard outer layer meaning it’s not fresh. The creme fraiche was so hard and the ice in the large bowl melted so quickly it was so difficult to scoop the roe from the tiny tin without making a massive mess of the ice. Good effort in Making your restaurant look Nordic but the actual produce and execution of your dishes are extremely poor and are a far cry from proper new Nordic cuisine anywhere in Scandinavia.

    Excellent mussels (although it'll be better with slightly more sauce), duck was tender and enjoyed the rock ling which was nicely complemented with the crab bisque.

    Excellent service delivering an innovative degustation menu. I loved the wine pairing. We sat at the bar facing the action in the open kitchen. It was a highlight watching the finely tuned chef team in action. A great experience. Highly recommended.

    This place gone downhill significantly since it was opened. Food is bland, overpriced. We have 2 steaks ordered - both were wrongly cooked. Medium was rare (uncooked), and rare was burnt. Lamb rack had hardly any meet, just fat on it. 44$ for a waffle with roe+butter? Bland menu that has not changed for years. Cocktails served in tiny glasses and also bland and uninteresting. Attention to details is poor - one guy was served stout instead of normal beer, took ages to replace it. Wine on the list was not available, took ages to fetch the other one. They push overpriced French wines (like everywhere in CBD). Wine bottle was always taken away somewhere, which was really annoying. Don't bother with this place.

    Really unusual food. Cabbage entree in particular was delicious. The veggie main course was unusual but for our palate not in a good way. Four star only because of this as the rest of the dishes were sublime.
