Steak — Restaurant in Tønsberg

Had the black Angus and lava cake here yesterday.

I asked if they could make me a Moscow mule even though it was not on the meny, and they said they were able to, which was appreciated. They did not have copper cups nor did they have any cups to serve it in appearantly. It was served in a tall glass which is not proper at all. The mule itself was also not well mixed and i was not at all impressed with it.

The meat on the other hand was made well and the quality was quite good. Was cooked to my specifications and was cut for me by one of the staff. Tender and nice to say the least, though more fat and hard fibers on the sides than i would have liked. The whiskey sauce was really quite good. The potatoes were also of good quality. The asparagus and champignon were fine as well.

The lava cake for dessert was overall good, the fondant was of quality and the ice cream fit with it well enough. The gel on the side was fairly good as well, as was the berries. The pop candy on the plate i could have done without.

The pricing here is for sure at a high level. They try to match the fairly high pricing with quality, and overall i think they do so decently well.

Staff were kind and generally helpful. They were lacking some things like the lobster which we were wanting to get.

A overall quality place to visit...

First time I have been to this restaurant in Tønsberg. Went on a double date with low expectations to be frank. Just another steakhouse I thought, but I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. The facilities are open, spacious and inviting, and the staff are pleasantly in the same category. We were met with smiles and comfortable professionals. They were attentive without being pushy, and provided useful information when asked, and as part of the presentation. The waiter even corrected me on how I wanted my meat done and explained professionally why without being condescending. Very nice indeed. Then the food arrived, and it was glorious! You order the main dish, then you choose sidedishes if you want and the same with different potatodishes. You can choose to just order meat and leave it at that. The presentation was tasteful, inviting and everything was perfect. Even the sauce was hot and fluid, which some other restaurants manage to serve cold and thick as porridge. The meal was a true delight and I will return! A little gem at the end. This place serve Kobe beef, the rare and very expensive meat from Kobe in Japan. It costs 6kr/gram and the minimum amount is 100gram. It takes 25 minuts to prepare and it's next on my list on the next visit. Meatlovers...

With plenty of parking right outside the door, the Steak On Stone restaurant is perfectly placed a few minutes from Tønsberg centre. As the name suggests, the speciality here is raw sizzling steak served on a searing hot stone. There is a choice of chicken, lamb, beef, etc, then you decide which potatoes and finally sauces.

Large indooor area is complimented by a spacious outdoor seating area. We were greeted at the entrance by a smiling waiter who took us to our table, wiping it and the chairs before we sat. All safety measures were observed including disposable menus. The idea here is that your cuts of meat are served raw & you cook them yourself on the red hot stone at the table. In this way you can get your food exactly the way you want it & that's exactly what we got. Another bonus with this concept is the fact that it was mere minutes before our order was delivered to the table. This is a relatively new restaurant in town but already most of the tables this Wednesday were reserved so if you are planning to eat here and I highly recommend that you do, it's best to book in advance. All in all a great dining experience that is refreshingly different. Service was excellent, prices were middle of the tree with two steak dinners costing around...
