The menu isn't huge but there's a good variety of seafood. I got the mussels and my friend went with a salmon salad. Large portions and really good prices. The drink menu is also good. It was very quiet when we visited so we had our pick of seating and it was so nice to sit by the water and enjoy some good food. Lots of birds in the area but not aggressive like gulls. Also, a really pretty area to walk around in after you're done eating.

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.

Zarinas offers both gluten free options for pizza and for pasta and the meal was fantastic, especially the home-made crusts for the regular pizza. The gluten free crusts were from a package (average) but the toppings were delicious and the chef did come out to apologize they didn't have something hand-made and did advise that with 24 hrs notice, they could do a hand-made gluten free crust. We then inquired about gluten free lasagna and he offered to have us come back the next night and he would prepared a gluten free meal just for us. So, the next night we went back after requesting the gluten-free lasagna and sure enough, they had prepared a "family style" meal with a full gluten-free lasagna, salad, garlic toast, and then ice cream and strawberries for the kids for dessert. The meal was fantastic and I can't say enough about their effort to make our evening enjoyable. The restaurant was very family friendly, a nice atmosphere, and a wonderful staff. Highly recommended!

The decor was simple and classy, and the menu just about made my eyes pop out, talk about eye candy! ( I even asked the waitress if I could keep a copy of the menu, it was that impressive!!). My colleague and I ordered the Combo de Luxe and it was not only extensive in its variety, pleasing to the eye, but ultimately pleasing to the palette! It seemed like a lot of food, but happened to be just the right amount for the two of us, and we decided to finish it off with the fried ice cream to share. All around an excellent experience!!
