Great experience overall! The food was fresh and flaverfull. Service was prompt and the staff, engaging. We sat outside on a great evening! Salmon soup was exceptional as was the trout.

This is a bit of a weird one. One gets the impression the place caters mainly to tourists, given the theme and location (and the fact that we were absolutely surrounded by Germans), but the food was very good and surprisingly didn't feel as overpriced as most of the evening meals we had in Helsinki.

Our go-to seafood restaurant for the past few years. Consistently great food and nice location. Minus 2 stars, as one of the waitresses (dark haired lady) was unfriendly every time, got our order wrong, and ignored us. A stark contrast to every other wait staff who were super friendly and hospitable.
