Salka Restaurant — Restaurant in undefined

We were a party of four and arrived at Salka around 4:30 pm. The restaurant wasn’t even half full, and we were seated upstairs right away, so far, so good.

Things went downhill with our server. When I asked if the fish could be plated separately from the sides (my child doesn’t like them touching), she looked impatient and said the kitchen was very busy and probably couldn’t do it. When my son asked about another dish, she told him to check Google because “they have pictures of the entire menu.” I did, and when I tried to order something I saw in those photos, she said they didn’t have it.

My husband arrived a bit later and placed his order. As soon as he finished his sentence, our server turned her back and walked away, so we didn’t get to add a second dish. When she returned and we tried to order it, she told us we should have ordered everything together, which we would have, had she not walked off mid-order.

On the positive side, the food came quickly and was good, and the other staff who served and cleared our table were friendly. Unfortunately, the service from our main server really undermined...

This is a restaurant that capitalizes on it’s location rather than quality of food. While the service was excellent, and the location is convenient, I am not convinced that food compares to that of other restaurants in the area that are much better.

The fish of the day was a lightly breaded Ling, which was fine. A little overdone. The tomato soup was disappointing. It is hard to imagine a restaurant is able to sell what I can only imagine is a canned tomato soup to customers.

I would much rather have visited another another place and hope visitors provide more honest reviews going forward to avoid leading people astray in thinking a restaurant is worth a 4.5 Star review when it...

All the good reviews did not seem to happen when I was there... got tiger prawns as starter, fish of the day (Arctic Charr) and chocolate cake... the tiger prawns are so small they are almost the same size as my baits... the Arctic charr was fried in bread crumbs and served on rice... one of the most terrible food I have ever had in Iceland... the only thing that was good was the chocolate cake, that's why the one star, otherwise, it would have been no star at all... the starter is same price as the main course... ISK2950 each... chocolate cake is ISK1950 which is the most expensive for a slice in Iceland......
