Foyn Tønsberg — Restaurant in Tønsberg

Had a meat based appetizer which tasted wrong, and I informed the waiter about it. A while after I got home I started feeling sick. I called the restaurant to inform them about it and they told me "We need you to go to the doctor and get a certificate for us". I would have been willing to gloss over it with an apology, and I feel a refund or gift card for the appetizer would have been a courtesy; I'm not going to spend money on going to the doctor for their benefit unless I actually need treatment.

Other than that: The main dish and drinks were good. Waiters seemed maybe inexperienced but were friendly and helpful. When booking I asked them if they could give us a private table for the occasion, and they kindly reserved a good place for us and were very accommodating with timing. Atmosphere is a little odd, like they haven't decided whether it's a fine restaurant or a night club.

Would have given 4 stars on food if not for the appetizer, and 4 stars on service if not for how I felt treated with...

Was there drinking and dancing, drink was ok.

Music was random a bit old and gold and a bit of something, some stuff was decent but never got to stick to a song or beat for more than 60 seconds at a time.

Most of the fade and transition from the "DJ"s was meh Felt like the sketch "2 many buttons" from Kollektivet

But we did dance between the odd music stops and the random pushing and some super light moshpiting.

Dance floor had a lot of walking people crossing between...

All in all was ok. Seemed like one of the better places for energy along the harbour.

Might try Heidis next time as it seemed to have a similar high...

Beautiful river-side dining area with a view of stunning replica Viking ships at the harbor. I had the pork bulgogi (without the coriandor yoghurt) and it was one of the best bulgogi dishes I've ever had. My family also had scalpi bulgogi and scalpi salad and they all cleaned their plates it was so good! The waitstaff is also very friendly. We asked some questions about Tønsberg and our waitress not only answered but went back to ask her coworkers extra clarifying questions. We felt very welcome and comfortable. We had a late lunch around 3pm and it was pretty quiet; probably only 1/3 or even 1/4 full. I would love to eat here...
