  2 servers for a group of 30-36 people. We were seated upstairs. The temperatures were unseasonably & devastatingly hot. No fans, no air. One man at the table was soaked through front & back with sweat on his shirt :( The food took FOREVER to be served. We were offered fish soup with fish entree. I declined the soup and luckily received a salad as replacement (whew). Food was ok/average with about 30-35 minutes between courses. Finally, while waiting for our paid dessert and coffee... we got up from the table and walked out.(pre-paid)

  I didn't know that halibut was so bone -laden when I ordered it (may help to tell people before they order). It tasted great, but the bones permeated everything, including the salad. The wait staff was courteous and made it right in the end. I would go back if I were to return to Oslo, but not order halibut.

  We weren't too sure about the menu but I ordered the salmon and it was wonderful! I just scraped off the fish eggs as I am not a fan. Very nice Cafe but we waited a long time for our bill and even had to flag down our waitress to get it.

  This cafe is a small elegant restaurant with classical decoration. Pricing is typically Norwegian and not cheap. But I must say the food and service are worth the price. I like their steak and veal more than the cod which was not that flavorful. Overall it was still a very delightful meal in a very memorable place.

  My boyfriend and I went here looking to explore some of Oslo's more historical eateries. We were a little hurt when the waiter all by refused us service. I had to find him in the lobby just to get menus after he (that's right, he seated us and then ignored us) had seated us. I do not blame his negligence on our homosexuality by any means, but our age. Sure, we're only in our twenties, but does this mean we should be denied a nice lunch at a fancy restaurant? We were nicely dressed and respectful. In the end, we ended up leaving. After giving me the eyebrows (and not the nice kind), it was clear that we were not welcomed there. It was a bit reminiscent of a scene from Pretty Woman, really.
