I have been here a few times and the food is always great. It is far superior to most of the steak…read morehouses I have tried in Oslo. However, the great food cannot make up for the lousy service I seem to get every time I am here. The worst was a few months ago for my boyfriend's 30th birthday. It was supposed to be a surprise dinner with all of his friends. I made reservations 2 weeks in advanced online. I then called the day before the dinner to confirm the reservations. Apparently I talked to the cook and he said that my reservation looked fine. He repeated how many people the reservation was for, my name, and at what time so all seemed fine. My boyfriend's friends showed up to the restaurant before me and called me to say they did not have the reservations. When I arrived a few minutes later they tried to tell me that the cook had told me to call back in a few minutes when I talked to him on the phone the day before. I explained to them how if that were the case I obviously would have called back because of the importance of the reservations. They tried to reserve us a table for the next evening, but obviously that wouldnt work. The great thing about being an American in Norway is Norwegians are quickly intimidated when we raise our voice. As soon as I raised my voice and let them know how pissed I was, we were given a table. It was not quite big enough for all of us, but we were at least seated. The service after that was still awful. I would have thought it was because I raised my voice at them, but having been here several times before that, I wouldnt have expected the service to be anything but lousy and if it werent for my boyfriend being Norwegian and used to bad service, I would never go back, but unfortunately, he loves the place.

This was my go-to-steak place during my 2 month stay in asker norway. Its located at the back of…read morethe shopping plaza by the train station. I pretty much have tried every single item on the menu. The steaks were ok, kinda bland and need seasoning however im not sure if thats how the steaks are in Norway. Im used to eating steaks w/o any sauce and just the flavor from the steak and marinade married together. I think this is why my favorite steak at this place is the mexican peppersteak which is soaked in its marinade...mmmm yum. Price is on a high end but everything in Norway is expensive. Thank god I was here for work.

Even though they were very crowded and had two large parties, they were very accommodating and provided wonderful service. The prime rib was wonderful, the sides had great flavor, and the chocolate mouse with a glass of red was a nice finish. I highly recommend this restaurant to any meat eater. Just know ahead of time your only choice is prime rib. Of course, it didn't hurt that the seating arrangement forced us to sit next to two beautiful ladies. Made the experience even better. Thank you ladies, and of course, Trancher

We are biding Norway from the states and decided to get coffee at this restaurant. Every server we…read moreencountered was extremely rude. First one walked up to take our order and walked away when we were discussing what to order. Second waiter came to take our order and was abrupt with us and did not want to be bothered to answer any questions Third waiter came to bring us our coffees and brought us wrong coffees. When we told him we didn't order the ones he was dropping off he insisted we ordered them and wouldn't correct our order They are not even busy and could have helped us on a nicer manner All 3 very rude waiters. I would never come back here again. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!!!

We found the menu outside of this restaurant and decided to try it and we're so glad we did! My friend had the cauliflower soup and I had a Caesar salad to start, both mouth watering, followed by the salmon with potatoes, everything was great. The wait staff was extremely professional and spoke English, which for us was very helpful. The place is a bit on the more fancy side but even as we were in jeans and layers (very cold and rainy outside) we didn't feel out of place or unwelcome.
