From the beginning to the end the service was absolutely perfect. We were two persons and had their four course seasonal garden set menu with wines. What can I say, I've been to many Michelin star restaurants as well and still this was for sure one of the best dinners I've ever had. Hard to believe this happened in Finland. This place is definitely worth a star. Or two.

Quality and cooking of the food was perfect as were the selected wines. Set menu dinner for two including wines, additional cheeses, some extra house made sweets, tea and coffee was a bit under 600 euros, and definitely worth it.

I visited this famous restaurant with my husband and an other couple and had a very nice evening. We ate the four-dish menus of the day but were anyway allowed to change some of the dishes. Among the two fish dishes, the main lamb dish and the desert, we got three extra courses. All the dishes were very tasty and beautiful and the proposed wines completed the experience. The service was friendly and professional. The only minus are the prices. Even with the extra courses and the superb view it was very expensive!!

I have been this restaurant with my clients several times and I have never been disappointed. This time was even better. 3 course lunch menu was fab and wine as well but the best thing was our waiter. She was such a professional but very kind and not a bit snob. And of course table at the roof terrace was plus to top of this. Thank you!

Definitely best service in whole Helsinki. Very traditional and timeless approach to design and service. Extremely beautiful view to Helsinki roofs and Esplanadi park. Remember to visit also the herb garden in balcony! Food is among top10 in Helsinki. Should be better compared to price. There should be more chicken and other poultry servings and vegetarian. Too much meat and fish.
