Steven M.Steven Matthews: The smoked trout rilettes sandwich, the cinnamon bun. Finally: real Scandinavian open face sandwiches in the US.

Sandra C.Sandra Cifo: Fun design, pastries are good, but they need to use clean mugs. Def understaffed but very nice. Pricey, out of 12 different that we ordered only the meatballs and trout were worth it.

Andrew C.Andrew Choi: A breakfast spot fave. Can’t go wrong with the trout & cod cakes, cured trout open-faced sandwich (so fresh), or the grovbirkes sandwich. That last one is truly effed up good.
