Quinton MaOctober 1, 2014Find Olof Carlson here. Biff Rydberg was decent (Grodan is better in Östermalm). Star of this place is the downstairs bar which has great ambience and the full menu from upstairs!

Shuvani BurtDecember 3, 2017Great atmosphere in the bar where you can order from both the restaurant and bar menu. Meatballs were the best in Stockholm.Upvote3Downvote
Michael KazarnowiczDecember 29, 2014Staff was very stressed which affected the service. The food was very good, the condiments took the Steak Tartar to a whole new level. Their sake cocktails are worth a try!Upvote3Downvote

Robert BjurshagenAugust 14, 2012Staff are quitely helpful, food is qualitative and somewhat pricy, but in accordans: you get what you play for. The crowd, on a Tuesday summer evening is somewhat heterogenous, but mostly couples.Upvote1Downvote
