Beril EsenOctober 28, 2015Get the Swedish meatballs as a traditional choice and the classic smorgasbord if you like fish and more of a variety of different options to taste. Viking's romance is a great choice for a cocktail.Upvote1Downvote
Brian HoeftApril 2, 2012Food was interesting, tasty, and original. Decor is fun, Nordic modern kind of feel. Especially nice to sit within view of a Stone Street window to see what's happening in this charming slice of NYC.UpvoteDownvote
RonniMarch 2, 2015Norwegian Gravlaks Sandwich was a good choice! Their fingerling potatoes were on point too along with the Bellini

Jesse RoehrichOctober 8, 2012Came here for brunch had the gravlax club--which was huge but really good. And the smoked salmon omelet, also great as was the potato hash that comes with it.UpvoteDownvote
Loni FrenchDecember 15, 2015Kale salad with salmon is my go-to. Big portion and flavorful. Seasonal soups are a good choice too!UpvoteDownvote

frankieSeptember 15, 2010we had the swedish meatballs and herring for apps and steak and salmon for dinner. food was delightful and service was a little slow in the beginning...but they certainly made up for it. wonderful sUpvoteDownvote
David BApril 15, 2012Ask for the crepes menu. It's abbreviated from their crepes restaurant on the other side but their crepes are awesome! Don't know why they don't market them.UpvoteDownvote
Danielle FSeptember 1, 2011Eggs Benny and bottomless mimosas are amazing. The service isn't great but everyone is nice and sitting outside in the summer will make the wait beyond worth it!UpvoteDownvote
Delicious food and their prix-fixe is an outstanding deal -- dinner is four courses for $35, and is the rare example of getting more than what you pay for.UpvoteDownvote
Tee AllenMay 1, 2015Can't wait to go again great staff one of the best tapas I've ever had in my entire lifeUpvoteDownvote
rosie (siman) yakobFebruary 25, 2012Kopparberg is hands down the best pear cider. I remembered it fondly from my Stockholm trip and it was even more delicious than I remembered!

Alejandro HoyoJanuary 12, 2015The pork chop with roasted parsnips and squash purée is excellent!UpvoteDownvote
Excellent brunch spot. Meatballs are also great. And, carlsberg on tap.UpvoteDownvote
Abhishek PillaiNovember 12, 2015Meatballs were okay. Maybe I'm not a fan of Swedish meatballs. Also, the appetizer portion of the meatballs is enough for 1 person!UpvoteDownvote
Josh UptonAugust 28, 2016The vegetarian kasha meatballs with mushroom gravy are the clear standout.UpvoteDownvote
SillyCamillyDecember 24, 2011Love the waitress' Swedish accent. She is so cute and very nice. The place's charming and the food good.UpvoteDownvote
Chris VodolaSeptember 16, 2015This is where people sit outside when all the tables at the Growler are full. It sucks.UpvoteDownvote
Jeff PetrielloAugust 3, 2013Service was epically bad but the food was good. Ask for light ice with your bloody mary or it'll be half water.UpvoteDownvote
Justin OrgelApril 30, 2013If you have 3 hours to wait for food during the work day this is your placeUpvoteDownvote- Spices vanilla möjito is such a delicious drink. Wow.UpvoteDownvote
