I was greeted and seated immediately and it was quite empty there as there was only one other guest present. I ordered the entrecote steak. My food came out and I was impressed with the presentation. The steak looked great with the salt and rosemary with the red wine sauce on the side. I cut into the meat and unfortunately it was undercooked. They took it back to re-do it. The flavor was great. My server was apologetic but it turned out great. The red wine sauce took it a notch higher. Great service and good food. I was pleased with my experience here. Four stars!

Beware steak cooking temperatures run on the low side even compared to American steakhouses -- my medium-rare ribeye would have been rare at Morton's. Mushroom soup: very good. Green salad: fresh and crispy, non-trivial to do in Finland in November. Rib-eye: awesome. Filet: awesome. Grilled vegetables: shockingly good. Apple tart: very good. Overall, food quality was very solid. Only downside was I felt a bit shot out of a cannon at the start with the pace, but then it slowed down after the start into a more relaxable nice normal pace. Can't tell if that was them responding to something else, thinking that we Americans like a fast pace or what. Nice location on the port to boot. And they take reservations online, which seems somewhat rare.

We had the sirloin, and it was cooked just as we asked (medium and medium-rare). The french fries were served in a common bowl for the two eaters, which was a nice touch as one of us doesn't eat them all that much. The fries themselves tended a bit towards the usual: crispy on the outside but a little bit soggy in the middle. I'll admit to this being my pet peeve, so your mileage may vay: this is very common in restaurants and you might not even think twice. But to the chef: Double fry your fries! Overall and in all fairness, I have nothing to complain about the place, the service or the food. Based on my first visit, Puosun Kellari is now firmly in the race for the best steak house in Helsinki. Would recommend, will go again.

Luckily I found Morrison's only 3 blocks from our hotel (Hotel Kamp). The menu has something for everyone. They have a good selection of appetizers like mozzarella sticks and loaded fries. The burger list is extensive including chicken and plant-based burgers. There is also a good selection of beer and some wine. I had the weiner schnitzel which was excellent! The burgers were all great and huge. There were also salads and other options. There is a kids menu with burgers, chicken fingers, and pasta. Heads up...the kids burgers are not small! All servers spoke English and were extremely nice to us. The drinks and food came out in a good time. The location is like a small restaurant/diner style. There were about 15-20 tables and there was a large table for our party of 8. Still water was free for the table and they had Pepsi products (the only thing I would change!!). They also do take-away. We loved Morrison's so much that we ate there again on our last night in Helsinki. If you are in the mood for good "American" style food in Helsinki, Morrison's is exactly what you are looking for! We were so jetlagged that I forgot pictures of the food...sorry!!!

Without a reservation, we were fortunate to get a table for three and started off with beers. A very nice platter of "Pickles and Cheese" had some interesting things on there that were a great appetizer. Pickled pineapple, sliced cucumber and such. It definitely made me ready for the main course. I chose the ribs and was a little jealous of my friend's choice of the brisket. It was a full rack of ribs, which arrived not quite warm though the fried potatoes on the side were still hot. Perhaps a little overdone, but I have a very high standard for barbecue. Very meaty, lots of food here. An ice cream and cookie dessert was shared. Ice cream was good, the cookie part was interesting. [Review 10102 overall, 1688 of 2018.]

Before I start, I'm a native Texan so I know a thing or two about BBQ -- picky as hell. It's been a home run at B-Smokery both times. If I had to pick, their ribs and coleslaw are my favorite -- plenty of meat on the ribs, and nice vinegar hint to the slaw to give it that acidic kick. This particular night, I had their "small" all-in platter that samples all the meat -- ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and two sides, coleslaw and grilled veggies were my choice. Cornbread included. Everything was delicious. And the "small" portion was super filling. If I had to be critical, the beer selection is fairly limited. But they've expanded the bar selection since the previous time I was here, so at least they're getting there :) I warmly recommend B-Smokery -- go there today, like now, and get your BBQ grub on! Lots of value here with affordable, savory, filling portions. Honest assessment: Best BBQ I've had in Finland.
