Lovely Scandinavian Midsummer – We had a very nice dinner last week. The service was prompt even though the restaurant was crowded at the time. The outdoor cobble stone setting was beautiful, and the food was fabulous. Maybe a basket of bread before dinner was served would be nice. We loved the Swedish Meatballs - definitely the best we've had.
try the waffles w/ cloudberry preserve! – The food is pretty good. Especially recommend the waffles with cloudberry preserves. yum!! The meatball sandwich is nice. A good variety of smoked fish. Service is hit or miss, but never mean-hearted.
Don't mess with my meatballs... – Growing up near the Baltic Sea I learned to love the region's flavors and culinary traditions. Being a long-time New Yorker I'm also used to a variety of fusion cuisine offerings. In my humble opinion, the fusion of Scandinavian and North American (and even North African) tastes at Smorgas Chef is uninspired and unnecessary. I don't understand Swedish meatballs with maple syrup nor do I feel comfortable with tagine entrees in a Scandinavian restaurant. I also found the service surly and abru... read more
Smorgas Chef - DELICIOUS – Smorgas Chef is one of the most unique New York restaurants I have ever been to. It is incredibly charming, quaint, the service is excellent and the food is FANTASTIC. You feel as if you've been transported to Europe or Scandinavia, and can sit outside on the cobblestone street in the sun. The owners are delightful and the head chef is fantastically talented. All in all, fabulously unique and fun. MUST TRY!
Underbar! – I discovered Smorgas Chef totally by chance while exploring lower Manhattan after moving down here last year, and I'm so glad I did. Having lived in Stockholm for many years in my youth, I'm always excited when I find a Scandinavian restaurant, but I'm usually disappointed. Smorgas Chef was a wonderful surprise. The cuisine is fantastic, the service excellent, and the room although small, quite inviting. I highly recommend it to everyone.
Ms. Marlene G. Rosario – Nice place to have around on the weekend especially for myself and my co-workers since there are very slim pickings in the downtown area on a Sunday. A little pricey, but the food is always presented nicely, well packaged and hot upon arrival so its worth the extra dollars. Thank you.
Great Little Place – Smorgas Chef is a great little place on a great little cobblestone street. Consistently good food attractively served and great prices make this an excellent value. The Saturday and Sunday brunch are the best deal in lower Manhattan. I go frequently with my young daughter because she is treated like customer not an afterthought. The vanilla waffles with cloudberry jam are indescribably delicious. If you have any doubt that it is good to be alive, try these waffles!
Wonderful Ambiance, Great Food! – This is our second time this week! As long-term downtown residents (10+years), we've been longing for a place like this. Food was amazing - we tried Swedish Meatballs and Herring Samplers - excellent blend of flavors. In the hectic world of Wall Street, Smorgas Chef manages to maintain the feel of a quaint European restaurant. The ambiance was lovely. Although the music was a little loud sometimes, we love the selection of albums. We will be back next week!
17 may dinner – As a swedish citizen living in New York I was very much looking forward to having a nice meal at Smorgaschef that is serving Scandinavian cusine, although my entusiasm disapeared as I came to the resturant and was absolutely blown away by the bad service. To say is that it was a caos eavning as we where sitting outside and it started to rain, so we had understanding of certain difficulties, but they did not even seem to try and when the owner put a 20% tip on the bill, we questioned this and he was not unders... read more
