Open in September, but otherwise disappointing.
It’s low season (early September) and it’s a little difficult to find an open restaurant here now. This was conveniently opened (as opposed to Underhuset, which is where we originally wanted to eat) and had a nice, cozy vibe but otherwise not much else going for it.
The waiter was nice and friendly to begin with and panicked a little when we asked if they did child portions (we have a 2 year old) but quickly asked what we wanted and said it would be no problem. Good start, but no follow through.
We waited around 40 minutes, even though there was nobody else waiting for food, except for a couple who had arrived after us. So, that was a bit annoying, considered that the place was basically empty and we had a 2 year old to keep entertained (thankfully, he’s been a very good sport!).
The food finally arrived. We had hamburger, fish soup and the salmon (child portion in theory). The soup was lovely, the hamburger was mediocre (and the hamburger was actually half the size of its bread!!) while the salmon was a good dish, but obviously not a child portion! My son ate some, but we had to finish it as it was too much for him.
The worst thing for me is that the waiter didn’t say anything about getting the portion wrong when he brought it to us and he even charged us for the regular adult portion without any apologies or anything at all (since we had after all ordered a child portion, not an adult one!!).
I’m just docked at the lack of service and attention, since there were 5 people in the whole place! He should not have said that a child/half portion was ok, only to forget it a minute later! This to me is really terrible customer service!
Would definitely NOT...

Read moreWe were here in April, off season.
Location feels cozy but is also rather small. There were only two other tables occupied and I expect it to get very loud when all tables are talking. The waitress was nice and spoke perfect English.
The menu is not that big; it contains of 5 different dishes and a selection of pizzas. No starters, no dessert. When we asked about the catch of the day they told us that 3 out of the 5 dishes were out - so we ordered pizza. A little bummer as the other two dishes didn’t sound that nice.
The pizza was American style, you choose between 30 and 40 cm (12 and 16 inch) and they were pretty good.
Service was okay-ish, the whole thing seams to have been run by 1 person.
Pricing was very reasonable and below what most other places in the area charged. I paid for a beer and pizza 300 NOK, tip included.
The price point is what definitely makes up for the lacking menu choice and...
