Mathús Garðabæjar — Restaurant in Garðabær

Easy to find with a big parking lot right outside.

It was a bit loud because half of it is a sports bar. We had three waiters, one female blonde and two male. The blode waitress was very attentive and friendly and was smiling. The other two waiters were very unattentive and rather unfriendly. They were more focused on their phones behind the bar than anything else. The only time i saw them work was, when another customer had to shout a couple of times to get their attention. After that the waiter looked around ONCE and saw that we finished eating and cleard the table. After that... nothing. When we walked up to the bar and asked them for the bill. The guy looked at us, tapped on the cash register a few times and said "there" and went back to talking with his coworker.... there wanst even a goodbye or thank you when we left.

The Rudolf burger and the fries were delicious. The baby back ribs were ok. Prices were also good.

The two waiters left a very poor impression and we'll definitley not be eating...

Good restaurant with fast service, delicious food and nice atmosphere. We were there at about 5 pm June 13 2023 and chose a three-course meal that started with a delicious carpaccio; the portion was so big that I’ll be full but it was airy and well balanced in taste and color I can say without revealing too much. The main course, veal was tender and tasted absolutely amazing, it was served with two sauces, although it was less of a surprise because from the starter we understood that this place delivers. The dessert was the next surprise, a crème brulee is usually nothing special, but the size and a scoop of sorbet and mango cream put a new touch on the dessert. I don't think we were just lucky, the ingredients were consistently of the highest quality as well as the arrangement, seasoning and taste. With that quality, it surprises me if the price does not increase or if the restaurant perhaps moves more centrally. If you are in the hooks and are hungry do not hesitate, you will...

Disappointing service! When leaving we were told we would have to pay the difference between the value of the gift card at the time of issue and the current prices. This was a time limited brunch gift card with no stated value.

We booked via email with an image of the gift card to ensure there were no issues.

The staff couldn't figure out how to process the gift certificate & we waited while they figured it on the phone with their boss.

We were told that the gift certificate was old and we would have to pay the difference as they have since increased their prices.

We explained that there was no value on the gift certificate and that we had included an image with the email when booking, and it was not mentioned then that any difference would have to be paid.

The staff insisted there was nothing they could do and that they were surprised this wasn't explained during the booking.

Misleading and...
