Weary but happy, we dragged our exhausted selves to the lobby restaurant of the radisson blu Atlantic, where we were staying. We were seated immediately by the friendly maitre d. Our waiter for the evening, Martin could not have been nicer. He took our orders of a burger, mussels and chicken tenders for our daughter. They all tasted great! My favorite, however, was the complimentary bread basket, with the most delicious, soft bread with sun-dried tomatoes, a side of soft butter in olive oil and a sprinkling of sea salt and chili flakes. He also gave us a complimentary amuse bouche - salmon on a cucumber with crema and roe. Again, delicious and refreshing. The mussels came in a green curry sauce with a julienned veggies and Thai red chilis. The fries on the side were crisped to perfection as was the spicy mayo it came with. They have an extensive wine selection. As a New Yorker, I value a good wine bar scene with ambience but the prices here/ Norway are no joke. I went for a French red which was the cheapest at 200nok/ 20usd. To top it all off, Martin went the extra mile to give my daughter a vanilla ice cream, made in house. The service cannot be faulted. All to say, I can't recommend firelake enough!

I ate here a couple of times while staying at the attached hotel via room service. They don't offer…read moreeverything on menu via room service, but still a selection of the menu highlights. I ordered the cheeseburger both times (I was missing good ol Americana from back home) because it was perfectly executed: cooked to perfection, delicious condiments, and fresh ingredients. It was definitely one of the better burgers I have had in recent memory. Recommend if you are a meat-eater and looking for a place that knows how to prepare, season, and cook red meat to perfection!

Tasty bar food! We visited Bullock on a Sunday night, and they had plenty of tables. The striking…read morefeature of Bullock is the faux cow-skin chairs. We tried the Skagen toast and the fries with aioli. The toast was great with a nice blend of flavors. The fries were served piping hot and the aioli had a pleasant flavor. Overall, I had a good time at Bullock and would recommend them for their appetizers.

As this restaurant is mostly indoors, it's cooler but you still get a good view! *** Travelers Come here if you want to come to Stavanger (a pit stop for the Pulpit Rock). Every place we went to had lines or were fully booked, but this was great with short wait. *** My Recommendation My friend and I shared the chef's selection to try what they had to offer, and we liked the fish the most! You can choose if you want steak for the main course, but we chose fish. Norway is generally expensive for food, but this is good to sample their food. IG: @foodisseur

Had the seafood chowder that was liquidy milky (not pudding type) and satisfying. It had shrimp, crab, clam and a bunch of herbs. The super soft bread and garlic ranch served with it matched. Lot of people were ordering the mussels and that would've been our next order but we had to meet friends elsewhere. Outside, it was festive and a little loud from the neighboring restaurant/club next door. I enjoyed it, but if you want more peace, go to the 2nd floor. Beautiful views. The large tourist ships stop right at front.

Decent Chinese food. We visited Lai by Noodle Noodle on a Saturday night, and it was packed. I…read morethink the restaurant has gone through some changes since the earlier reviews, because I would say this is a $$$ restaurant and not a $ restaurant. The restaurant is nicely decorated and played house music during our visit. I tried the Yuku Sake cocktail to drink, we split the salmon sashimi and the king crab dumplings, and I ordered the vegan mapo tofu as a main. The cocktail was sour and not the most tasty. All of our food came at roughly the same time with sashimi arriving about 5 minutes ahead. The sashimi was tasty with a nice amount of sauce to complement the fish. The dumpling was room temperature and had an okay flavor but was not as tasty as I expected. The tofu was undercooked and the sauce was decent but could have used a bit more flavor. Overall, I had a hit-or-miss experience at Lai by Noodle Noodle and think there is room for improvement.

We were a group of four who went there for the first time first of September. I didn't know…read moreanything about them more than they served natural wines, which isn't really my cup of tea. The concept is based on local, short travelled Scandinavian ingredients. They only serve a set menu, don't know frequency for changing it. I been having the pleasure to eat and drink on similar restaurants in France and Sweden during the last half a year. The ambience is simplicity with seaweed as wall decoration. Söl is an Islandic word for a type of seaweed. We were greeted by a Dane and co-owner who explained the menu and wines with great knowledge. Our menu had five dishes, only one had meat, fried Cod. The rest is various vegetables, fried cooked or partially raw. We got one glass of wine with each dish, all natural ones. It was only the first wine that didn't really suited my palate. I've given it 5 stars, but I wish I could shave of a quarter from the last star because of the first glass of wine. The reason I giving it almost full score is because of price/quality. You will not get this quality at any restaurant in Stavanger for this price! We paid 970 NOK/ person which is about what you would pay for the same in Sweden. In Norway, this would cost at least in range 1200-1300 NOK. Now I hope they can manage it and keep the quality and price level.
