    Delicious food and cocktails. The Caviar Waffles, oysters and avocado dishes were outstanding. Service was polite, efficent and not bothersome. Sitting at the kitchen counter was dynamic and a good experience. I visited from Sydney and will definately come back.

    Fabulous meal and service. Lots of vegetarian options. Only criticism was the exorbitant cost for using a credit card. That is just rude as everyone uses credit cards. If l had know there would not have been a tip.

    Positives : Friendly waiters, lovely building, good cocktails and entrees, desserts very good Disappointed by : price and presentation of most expensive meat main, potatoes had a metallic aftertaste, no toilets on-site and hard to get to (on another level). Overall not a great experience, especially for the pricey menu

    Fantastic food. Great to share and experience. Definitely start with the bread….amazing lamb tartare, mussels are a must as is the waffle! The cauliflower was fantastic and so delicious. Rockling both times has been brilliant definitely a must have. Mains , sides and the desserts are fantastic. Wines and cocktails excellent! Great night a great place and well worth going back again

    No table cloth was provided to us. Sparkling water was dead; as if the bottle had been opened for days. Mussels were cold. Rockling was overcooked, hard and extremely salty - no flavour. Could taste excessive oil in the waffle - waiter was boasting all about it and it was underwhelming . Same waiter also spoke high of the rockling and said everyone who had it loved it- I beg to differ. Did not bother to try your dessert. Cod roe that came with the waffle - roe had a very hard outer layer meaning it’s not fresh. The creme fraiche was so hard and the ice in the large bowl melted so quickly it was so difficult to scoop the roe from the tiny tin without making a massive mess of the ice. Good effort in Making your restaurant look Nordic but the actual produce and execution of your dishes are extremely poor and are a far cry from proper new Nordic cuisine anywhere in Scandinavia.

    Excellent mussels (although it'll be better with slightly more sauce), duck was tender and enjoyed the rock ling which was nicely complemented with the crab bisque.

    Staff at the Freyja were all awesome! Special thanks to Nary who was so patient and helpful with our pre-order. I had a great birthday lunch here! We love the “Avocado” the best!
