Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Service was slow and completely asyncronous. Wines were served late. Food was moderate. Location and restaurant decoration is nice classic style.

What a dissapointment. Great service and athmosphere though. But the quality of main courses was poor. And when ordering blinis you’d expect more than a tee spoon of caviar. The wines totally over priced. I can’t recommend this to anyone.

Amazing food. I ordered the halibut. It was so good. Everything was excellent. Service was great. I had some very good meals this vacation but this was my favorite. If I lived in Helsinki I would be a regular.

Very bad customer service! We had a gift card voucher for a 4 course menu for 2, but when we wanted to book a table, nothing was available within the time frame of the gift card. The restaurant was not willing to extend the validity...of the card, only informed that we can use the value as payment later on. Not acceptable, it does not correspond to the value of our gift card! Odd way to make business, sell gift cards that customers can not use! Very disappointed, as this restaurant used to be one of our favourites places in Helsinki. Can not recommend it anymore.More

We had the 4 course menu with wine package. All the dishes were delicious and paired nicely with the wines that were selected for us. Friendly and attentive service. All in all a very nice experience.

Hi and lovely to hear that your visit went great! See you again soon :)

New years dinner, 6 courses. Nice enviroment, a bit crowded (about 10-20 cm between the tables). The staff were the best thing about the restaurant, very friendly and attentive. The food was not good. Almost the same flavour to everything, same texture. No variation. Some...things felt undercooked, like the almost hard ravioli. It also took a long time between courses, up to 50 minutes. Above all, I got sick later on and had to spend the rest om new years eve and nigth in the bathroom... Maybe food poisoning due to the undercooked food? So - I would NOT recommend this restaurant.More

I ate a business dinner at this restaurant. High expectations, but was a bit disappointment. Main course duck breast was sticky and also the sweet course was strange. Otherwise a nice place.

Do not miss this place. We went for dinner on 9/1/2021. We didn't have a reservation, but I suggest you make one. We were lucky. My wife and i both had a crab cake appetizer. She had veal and i had the fish of the...day, whitefish in this case, for our main courses . I eat at a lot of restaurants. Some good and some not so good. This had to be one of my best dining experiences ever. That is a high bar, but it's one meal i will never forget. Small place? Yes, make a reservation. Small menu? Yes, but each dish was fabulous. Expensive? Maybe, but worth every euro for sure. My advice. Do not miss this experience.More

We had a dinner with ca 12 people and I have to say I was positively surprised of the place. The interior is gorgeous. The crab cake as a starter was nice but not special. A grilled sea bass followed and it was really good...and the accompanying wines were good, but not sensational. But the star of the show was the pecan pie, with cherry ice cream. Just so excellent combination of softness, crunchy nuts, and fresh ice cream with delicious cherry flavours. Also interestingly, the Italian dessert wine was the best we drank: not too sweet, and overall a fun wine to drink.More

This restaurant is located in the heart of Helsinki by the sea in a very historic building. The Interior space is relaxing and its feels like stepping back in time, when you enter the space. Menu is based on American Southern Cooking with some Scandinavian...influence. Service was very polite, but they made so many mistakes varying from wrong main course and charging us for things that we did not order. I would still go back and try it again.More
