I had the olive mix appetizer and the steak with bearnaise sauce. Both were delicious. It was hard to keep my sister from eating my food. The atmosphere is very intimate.

The staff are very well trained and are great at giving recommendations and my water glass always gets refilled here. After the remodel the ambience has been made much warmer and the music is always just right for the mood. Really a top notch place but busy on the weekends so I tend to come on weekdays.

Menu was small but plenty of good choices of apps, small and full meals and burgers. Just 3 or 4 burger options and I chose blue cheese. Cooked perfectly, medium and topped a large grilled mushroom, it oozed the melted cheese. Quite a nice burger it was served with baked or sautéed potato wedges...ok but crispy French fries' texture would be a better compliment to the juicy burger. Large and good beer selection. Service prompt and friendly. Re price...this is Norway so not pleased but not shocked by a $27 burger and a $12 beer.

The wings sauce had a nice kick, but not too hot. The burger was so juice and perfectly cooked and the fish and chips batter was one of the best I've had. It came with a big side of pea purée. The waiting was a bit longer than expected, but well worth it. Pricey, but we expected that being in Norway.
