Came here for lunch last week. Upstairs is way quieter than the street level, which I appreciated. Had the linguine with seafood in tomato sauce &mdash; decent portion, sauce had good flavor. Focaccia was nice for mopping up the rest. Nothing fancy, but solid. Maybe a bit slow between courses, but I wasn&#39;t in a rush.

The reindeer fillet was really tender, proper flavor in every bite. That was the standout for me. Staff handled my food allergy questions without making me feel awkward about it. Place itself is fine, nothing fancy but comfortable enough. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for what you pay. Solid meal overall though.

Been coming here for a while now, and the veal still holds up. Cooked just right, with those veggies that are a bit different from the usual. Sat outside this time, summer evening and all, pretty nice. Place gets busy, but they manage. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something reliable.

The cakes aren&rsquo;t what they used to be, but the coffee still hits the spot. Such a pretty location though. Tables weren&rsquo;t cleared right away, which was a bit annoying. Service felt a little uneven, but I&rsquo;d still stop by for a cup if I&rsquo;m in the area.

The Peking soup was really good, and the chicken Szechuan had that nice kick to it. Our server was super attentive, kept checking in without hovering. Honestly that made the whole meal feel easy. Place was a bit quiet for a Friday night though, would&#39;ve liked a bit more buzz for a catch-up with friends. Still, solid spot. 🥢

Stopped by for lunch &mdash; food was tasty and portions were generous. Service polite, place clean. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

Great pizza and the outdoor seating was a nice bonus. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything.

The lighting in here is so warm, really sets a cozy mood. Pizza was solid, and the price felt fair for what you got.

Tried the tapas for two. Plenty of food, honestly. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. Service was friendly, no complaints there. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy. Maybe not mind-blowing, but it did the job. Would probably come back.

The pasta was decent, but honestly the burger stole the show. Didn&rsquo;t expect that from an Italian place. Portions are a bit small for what you pay though. I&rsquo;d go back for that burger again, just maybe not for the pasta.

Came here early to skip the rush and they were super chill about seating us right away. The tzatziki was the highlight for me&mdash;creamy, garlicky, just the right amount of dill. I kept dipping everything in it. Place filled up fast after we sat down, so the timing worked out. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy.

The honey chicken was solid, and the waiter didn&rsquo;t rush us at all. Place felt a bit cramped though, hard to relax fully.

The food was solid, and the wine list had a few bottles I actually recognized&mdash;not the usual generic stuff. That said, it&#39;s a splurge, no way around it. Sitting by the river made it feel worth it though. Staff were young but friendly enough, even if service had a slight pause here and there. I&#39;d come back for a special occasion, maybe not a random Tuesday.

The jazz night on Thursday was the highlight&mdash;such a cozy vibe. Beer list is small but they&rsquo;ve picked some good ones. Would come back for the music alone 🎷

Great spot in the middle of the city, super easy to find. The interior is really well done and the seats are comfy. Food was solid too, no complaints.

Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon. Live jazz was decent, wine list had a few good picks. Service was fine, nothing to complain about.

Stopped by for coffee and a slice of cake. Place has a nice homely feel, lots of seating, even a little corner for kids to play. Coffee was properly good, strong without being bitter. Cake was fresh too. Only thing is it got a bit busy around midday, but we still found a table easily.

The sushi was solid, especially the crispy chicken tempura. Each piece had good flavor. A bit pricey though, and they put coriander in stuff without mentioning it. Just ask if that bothers you.

The deer tenderloin was possibly the best meat I&#39;ve had. Cooked perfectly, soft, no gamey taste at all. Didn&#39;t care much about the staff or the vibe, but the plate itself did the talking. Would eat that again just for the meat. Maybe a bit pricey, but worth it for that cut.

Solid Thai food and the price is fair for central Skien. Staff were friendly, service quick even though I just popped in for takeout. Nothing fancy but it does the job. The seating area is a bit cramped though, not somewhere I&#39;d linger long. Fine for a quick bite.

Dropped by for a coffee, ended up staying way longer than planned. Staff were chill, not hovering. Place has a decent vibe for just sitting around. Didn&#39;t try the food, but the flat white was solid. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but fine for the area.

Nice spot for a coffee break. Outdoor seating was comfortable, cake selection decent. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Would stop by again if in the area.

Decent sushi near the station. Fish was fresh, rice held together well. Miso soup was kinda bland though. Service fine, nothing special. Casual spot, good for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area. Not a destination place but it does the job.

Lamb vindaloo was spot on. Rich heat, proper spice level. Got my food fast, no hanging around. That&#39;s what I need on a lunch break. Place was busy but they kept it moving. Solid if you want a quick curry fix without the wait.
