Honestly don't bother
Honestly don't bother! Very average food, bad service.
I went with my brother (who had been wanting to go for ages, and was super excited to finally try out the place), his girlfriend and my boyfriend. When we first got there, we were stood in the entrance waiting for someone to seat us - many of the staff saw us but did not seat us, and we eventually had to ask them. When we were finally sat at the table, we were not offered a menu, any drinks (incl. water) or aperitifs for roughly 10 minutes until we finally got up and asked one of the 5 staff members walking around our section. They finally gave us menus and then did not return to take our order for another 10 minutes (despite there being only one other table in our section at this time - and most of the staff were stood around on their phones or polishing cutlery (which is fair use of their time, but something easily paused)).
Once our food arrived, my starter was mildly put disgusting. It was their veggie option of the night, and it was essentially two pieces of burnt bread with crusty (tasteless) cream cheese and cooked grapes. I thought it sounded odd on the menu, but I wasn't able to get anything else on the menu. When it arrived, I ate about half a bread out of pure desperation but scraped off the grapes. I would genuinely reconsider having this dish on the menu - it was awful.
My brother and his gf had their beef tartar, which was presented with half the meat cooked to enhance flavour, but they were incredibly disappointed by the lack of flavour in the dish.
When mains arrived, my brother and boyfriend had ordered the beef wellington to share, and they had requested a glass of red wine recommended by our third waiter of the night, who was lovely, and the wine he picked was gorgeous - however, only when we got the bill did we find out the wine was 200kr PER GLASS. Having worked in many different types of hospitality (from gastro pubs to fine dining), I know that regardless of the standard of the venue, if a glass of wine is set at this price, you inform your guest before putting the order in. Otherwise we would have ordered your 200kr BOTTLE instead.
My brother had asked for a portion of chips to replace the mash that comes with the wellington and was rudely told this was absolutely not possible, and that he would have to order it as a side (which for an establishment like yours seems very unaccommodating).
They partly ordered the wellington because it is advertised heavily for the accompanying truffle. This was not offered to us, and we (again) had to ask for this as an option with their food. The truffle that was served was dry and completely tasteless - which the member of staff eventually agreed with us on and took off the bill. We appreciate not having to pay for something that was completely irrelevant in taste, but staff members tried to excuse the lack of flavour to the season. Regardless of season, a truffle should have some kind of flavour.
Only recommendation: If you do still decide to go, order their sage pasta dish. It was absolutely incredible (with our without meat).
All in all, really disappointing. A large amount of staff on the floor on their phones, and lacking every attention to detail. Food was nothing special. Advertised well, but in reality, I'd never go again.
