Annual Herring Festival Lunch
Herring (matjes herring, glassblower herring, mustard herring, spring onion herring, curry herring, fennel & caraway herring, tomato & pepper herring, gentlemen’s delight, matjes herring cake, jansson’s anchovies soup, cheese & boiled potatoes): I enjoyed the food, but the buffet-style presentation wasn’t my thing.
Swedish Meatballs (lingonberries, pickled cucumber, pommes puree): just sufficient, definitely nothing special. Didn’t eat the last meatball.
Market Strawberries (cheesecake, mint, almond ice cream): similar desert to what I had at Foxface but prepared so much better.
Lingonberry Spritz: I’m probably giving the restaurants a crazy margin item when I’m ordering these non-alcoholic drinks, but I can’t help myself. They’re almost always good. Wish they’d give me double the amount of liquid though.
Service as to be expected at a two-star. Bathroom surprisingly messy, water on the floor (not that I care). Nice decor, though I would have liked some original artwork on the walls. I enjoyed the old-NYC ladies who were sitting next to me (“Marsha, look at me. You’ll regret getting that glass of wine. Marsha, Marsha! Don’t be ridiculous!”)
