Great food! I got the fish and chips and it was one of the best I've had. It comes with an amazing pickle tartar sauce and a unique and wonderful smashed pea paste. I asked them if they could sub the regular chips for sweat potato fries and they did that for me and they were wonderful. It is a busy place, so plan for a wait. I recommend ordering online and sitting on the common seating area in the middle of the building.

What a fun foodie adventure! 👍 We actually booked a table ahead of time, but apparently the reservation system decided to take a little nap. 😅 No worries though—the lady boss swooped in like a hero and seated us right away. Big thumbs-up for that kind of service! 🩷 Now, onto the star players: 🦞🦀 Garlic Scampi – a tiny kick of spice, super fresh shrimp, perfect portion. Solid 5/5, no notes. Black Pepper King Crab – sweet, juicy, and just plain kingly. Every bite was a happy dance. Bottom line? Forget the drama, just come here and eat—because it’s downright delicious.

Summary: king crab with a well intended but overdone sauce masking the beautiful taste of the seafood in a food market atmosphere with inattentive service Best dish: yet unknown Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): - king crab with spicy sauce: unfortunately the spicy sauce is way too strong and salty for the king crab and the delicious taste of the king crab is fully disguised; maybe better for cheaper seafood like shrimps but not for the fine taste of king crab; it’s a bit of shame for the nice quality of the seafood, a simple butter dip would be better Service: - inattentive: it took about 20 minutes for the order to be taken and we had to make ourselves noticed Price: - bad price for value; 975 NOK for the small portion of king crab Atmosphere: - food market style served at the table: i don’t mind food market style atmosphere and it can be fun, but we sat in a corner without a view behind the kitchen wall in a small corridor; not pleasant for the price My rating system - I focus on the food first and foremost. I aim to be truthful and try not to be biased by friendly service or other circumstances. 5*: excellent - I am rigorous in handing out 5* ratings 4*: good 3*: ok 2*: bad 1*: terrible
