I went a few evenings ago, it’s very cozy and welcoming the atmosphere and service was really nice, the soup I had though… BEST LOBSTER SOUP i have ever had, without exaggeration

The restaurant is cute and stylish. Unsure why they are playing chessy 80s pop music. Jazz or Icelantic music would be proper. Laufey?! The wait staff, for the cost of the food, needs training. Waitress tried to charge me a higher price for the start lobster soup...sneaky! Not up to it. The expensive menu is geared to fish of course, but wish they had an Atlantic Char option. The fish dishes should also include a vegetable and the potato... $60 dish. No shrimp or scallops items seems big miss. A scallop pasta would have been lovely. Lobster soup was tasty, get the starter. The plaice fish was interesting, soft texture with a hint of curry.
