Lovely view and pleasant atmosphere but quite overpriced, e.g.235 Kr buys one piece of gritty bread and four tiny pieces of cheese; and disappointing, e.g. the risotto had an unpleasant sort of vinegar overtone. Perhaps other items are better but there are so many fabulous restaurants in Oslo, we'll not try this again.

Uteserveringen: Cheeseburgeren var god. Fish and chipsen var dessverre for myk i konsistensen og ikke særlig smakfull. Den kremede fiskesuppen var svært god på smak men det trekker mye ned at det var for lite fisk og grønnsaker, ingen mettende hovedrett dette. Høye priser men fin utsikt utover sjøen. Hyggelige og kunnskapsrike ansatte.
