Delicious dinner - highly recommend for a quiet date night. Wouldn’t recommend for kids unless they have a broad palette. Ours slept through dinner (first day in Iceland from the US), so we snagged them some fish and chips at a nearby spot instead. Service and atmosphere were lovely. Recommend the Ling entree and the brownie if you need a gluten free option.

A must visit while in Reykjavik. The food was delicious, the service was nice and fast and the place although small is cozy. Our kids loved the food and we had a great time. Our waiter suggested to try the Rhubarb liquor and it was a winner!
