Keep it Outside – I went there last night and be warned the street was PACKED. Despite that, I stil recommend sitting outside, as the inside decor was a little bleh. It looks much better inside on their website...and don't go to the bathroom, the view into the kitchen is kinda gross. So if you DONT go inside and have the food, you will have a nice time! The food was delicious, had the lingonberry daiquiri-SOOOOO good, and the meatball sandwich which was tasty as well. The lingonberry tart was really good. Whats nice is that ... read more
Worst service ever - Do not ever order from them unless you like eternity as delivery time! BAD FOOD – Waited for two hours for food - got attitude from the manager - bad food Really waste of time ordering from this place!
Unique for Downtown – I've been intrigued by the place for years, but never could choose it over the other great and fun places on Stone Street. With the wine promotion, I finally went in and had a great meal too. The service is great and they really try to keep it fun and casual. The food is unique for the financial district which doesn't have too many specialty cuisine restaurants. It doesn't really have something for everyone because it's almost all seafood, but it is worth the try, so go for it!
Imitation Lobster Meat – The menu describes the $8 lobster bisque as containing "morsels of fresh lobster" (which is obviously true) and a "dash of sherry" (which seems to be true, as well). What they don't tell you, though, is that it also includes IMITATION LOBSTER MEAT. What more can I say?
Happiest Hostess Ever – One of the better places to dine in the Financial District. It's fun to eat outside on the atmospheric cobblestone street. I like coming here for lunch during the week as I work in the area. Outdoor seating does get crowded as there are lots of other restaurants nearby that share the outdoor dining section. I hear there are lots of great things on the menu including the Swedish meatballs but I always order the Duck/Pear Salad. I can't not get it! It is sooo good. If you like duck you will not be disap... read more
GREAT RESTAURANT – I have just recently started with a new firm in the area. I ate at Smorgas Chef for the first time today and i must say how great the food was! It was so packed my friend and I had to wait a few minutes (but it was well worth the wait!) I had the herring appetizer which was soooo tasty, and my friend had the meatballs for her appetizer. The service was a little rushed, but I think that was understandable due to the overwhelming crowd. Regardless, she was very friendly and knowledgeable of the food and wine... read more
Only send your enemies here – We experienced the most bizzarre dining experience in years here. First, I ordered a dirty martini with olives and my girlfriend ordered a Heineken in a bottle. The waitress/hostess came back about 5 minutes later telling me that they don't have olives. Fine. I ordered another cocktail, but thought that was weird. A little bit later my girlfriend's beer showed up skunky and warm. Oh yeah, almost forgot. When the waitress/hostess was taking our order, my girlfriend said she needed a couple minute... read more
What a great discovery for the people that live downtown! – I stumbled upon this place for lunch wandering around after a work out at Equinox Wall Street. They have outside tables and a tiny interior. I really enjoyed the open chicken sandwich. The chicken is marinated in caramel and honey. Extremely flavorful! I had the Kyoto Cherry tea the aroma was very strong but not in taste. It was cherries and tea, soft and easy to drink. The service was attentive and friendly. I can't wait to go back for dinner.
Forget Minnesota, It's in NYC! – It is hard to come by some standard Scandanavian cooking, w/o somebody twisting or influencing it with other cultures in this city. Here, they did it just right. Meat, potatoes, fatty fish, root vegetables, sweet accents and butter. All the staples of northern European cuisine and especially Scandanavia, using the best available. The meatballs were good, the Herring and Lefse was better, and according to the people I was with the gravlax was among the best they've ever had. Waffles were a goo... read more
