Slippbarinn — Restaurant in Reykjavik

We had a pretty good experience at this cocktail bar and restaurant. We called in a reservation which is always good. We were greeted right away, but just from observing you could see they were having issues with service. Many tables looking to order or for tabs. We stayed. The host was a champ, stepping up getting things started. Craft cocktails were creative, tasty and eye-catching. We had the fresh fish in a pan and steak sandwich, both great selections. The fish did was fresh and exceptional. Our guests had burgers. They were good but had had spicier sauce on them not noted on the menu. It worked out.

Wish I could rate this restaurant no stars with the experience I got at dinner, our waitress was absolutely horrible. She was not attentive at all throughout our dinner.

Another waiter ended up bringing back our steak to get cooked how we wanted it and still brought us back our steaks under cooked. Very bad experience Don’t waste your...
