   Bjork Cafe & Bistro is a relaxing getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The menu is a good blend of options. We enjoyed the presentation of dishes and the hearty flavors of the dishes.

   Bjork was great! My problem is with Open Table: I made a reservation online. It stated and confirmed my reservation. Then it invited me to enroll in Open Table. Which I did. When I got to the restaurant, they could not find any reservation for me. When logged onto Open Table, it showed no reservation. Later I found an email from 1:58pm, saying "Reservation changed", giving original details (2 at 2pm), conf. # 19083. But by this time the maitre D' had already seated us and probably entered the reservation. How can you prevent this from recurring? It didn't matter today, but it could. Thanks, Peter

   Dear Peter, Thank you for your review and for letting us know about the OpenTable issue. We’re glad you enjoyed your visit and that our maitre d’ was able to accommodate you despite the mix-up. We’ll follow up with OpenTable to prevent this from happening again. Thank you for your understanding, and we hope to see you again soon! Warm regards, The Björk Café & Bistro Team

   Always love going to Bjork Cafe. Hadn't been for brunch before, though, and both the brunch and regular menus are so nice it's very hard to decide what to order! Food and drinks were super as always. Only misstep - and it was a very slight one - was that the kitchen & servers delivered the first courses and the entrees at the same time. The tables are very small - not a great idea. But again, a very small misstep. Looking forward to my next visit.

   Nice facilities, lots of seafood on the menu, some good, some bland. Seemed authentic, though. Expensive entree with smallish portions, but that's probably fitting for all restaurants in that area. Good draft beer selection on the menu but all the Icelandic beers were not available, and unfortunately for me that was what I was looking forward to. Happy hour ends an hour too early (18:00) so you got to rush there after work if you want to get the benefit. Took a long time to get any still water for the table.

   Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your comments on the experience, as we always strive to improve. We understand that arriving after work can make happy hour feel rushed. Our happy hour runs only until 6 PM as our dinner service starts promptly at 5 PM and we close early with our last seating at 7:30 PM. Regarding the Icelandic beers, we apologize for the disappointment. Due to a temporary distributor change, they are unavailable to ship them to us at the moment. However, we’re hoping that issue will be solved soon. Thank you again for visiting and sharing your experience, and we hope to welcome you back soon.
