    A case of food poisoning. Had dinner with my wife on the 14th of February. We ordered scallops for starters and I had mussels for main while my wife went for the shellfish pasta. She commented that her shellfish pasta tasted bitter and seemed off (as an Italian, her opinion is to be trusted when it comes to pasta...and only pasta!) The service was attentive and the atmosphere was excellent, but unfortunately later in the evening, after 5-6 hours, my wife had food poisoning and spent the evening in the toilet.... Not the valentine we were planning for :/

    I’ve been to this spot twice and every time it’s been really nice! The staff is always nice and helpful and the food is well made. Sometime the outside seating is kind of crowded but other than that it’s great.

    Pretty nice place. Little problems with space when we had 10 people. Food was very tasty. Deserts also. Ok selection for tap beers and wines. There is fish and meat dishes. Also other seafood.

    Loved this place. Authentic Swedish food in a great environment that only gets better as the night moves on. Fantastic vegetarian options that incorporate Swedish traditional foods.

    Business lunch in a box area which was a nice touch as the restaurant can get quite loud! It was loud during lunchtime so I get sitting on main table is going to be a challenge. Food came quickly and service/staff were very attentive to our needs. Great venue and highly recommend the kitchen!

    Very nice place for fine dining. The food was very delicious and the service was very nice. We tried drinks, cocktails and they were good as well. Perfect for 2 people or if you’re a group it’s nice up to 6-8 people.

    Didn’t like it at all. What I call a tourist trap: nice location, decent pictures, classic menu. What is in reality? Old place with plastic chairs, very rude waiter and bad service, overpriced. Food: the steak was decent, the bernaise was actually good, but the fries seemed to be frozen which doesn’t suit a 1500SK bill for two people without dessert. Everything seems old and we were wishing to be on the cafe across the street that was full of locals and where the food looked delicious. I will never go back to this restaurant and don’t recommend it!

    45 minutes from the order to be informed that one plate was no more available. After another 20 minutes, we requested the waitress what was happening. After another 20 minutes, exhausted of waiting 2 salads, we requested the bill to leave. The owner very arrogantly informed us that that was a correct time to have food. She didn’t charged the beer and the gazpacho we had but we spoiled our lunch. Not to be there.

    Went for desserts which were delicious. Super friendly staff! Nice location, nice interior. Okay restrooms. Really bad menu for vegetarians which is what brings down my grading one star. The staff is what I would praise the highest though!

    (Translated by Google) Very nasty staff, they just stood and stared at me and my friend. The food was well below standard and the lobster made you sick. It's been a while since I went there because of their bad reputation. Can hope they fixed nice staff and not those who stay instead of taking orders. Will probably never go here again after the horrible and unpleasant feeling of the staff. (Original) Jätte otrevlig personal, de bara stod och stirrade på mig och min vän. Maten var väl lire under standarden samt att hummer gjorde dig sjuk. Var ett tag sen jag åkte dit på grund av deras dåliga rykte. Kan ju hoppas dom fixat trevlig personal och inte de som blir istället för att ta beställning. Kommer nog aldrig gå hit igen efter det hemska och obehagliga känsla av personalen.

    The food, drinks, and dessert were excellent. Both went with seafood options. It was delicious. The place is very nice and service was great. Great spot for that special occasion!

    One of Stockholms best venues for events and parties. The venue was super pretty and gave a luxury atmosphere white the food held the same standards with some really delicious courses. Melted in your mouth.

    The food is great and the staff was very friendly and offered nice suggestions for food and drinks. One of the beat stakes I had in Stockholm.

  • 4/5 Mike L. 3 months ago on Google • 33 reviews New
    Ok so I am breaking down my review into two parts. One for the overall normal experience and the other for the special occasion. 1) Food: All the appetizers and main courses were tasty. The combo of flavors is definitely on point. Though for the lobster bisque I would personally prefer some lobster bits in it and the entrecôte ribeye itself can be a bit higher quality (nitpicking) but the seasoning and taste is good. The portions were just right so we weren’t too full or starving. 2) The service was great. Our waitress was super friendly and knew how to work the table! Honestly I don’t have too much to say because the service was that good. 3) Atmosphere was ok. Nothing stands out too much, it was fine. It could be a bit more spacious, since we bumped into the table behind us sometimes when we got up, but it was not like we couldn’t get out at all. Also parking might be a problem unless you go to the narrow parking garage nearby. 4) Price is high. It is an expensive restaurant but you get what you paid for…sort of. I think some dishes are definitely overpriced like the entrecôte which cost 450kr! Again the restaurant is located in Östermalm, an upscaled area, so what did I expect. Nevertheless, it is pricey but at least you will get good food. So the special occasion is the reason why I am not giving a five star. It is unfortunate but I can’t ignore it. We were there because we were celebrating a birthday. We brought a cake and asked if they could refrigerate it and serve it afterwards. Some places would do it for free, some would charge a small service charge. Both options are fine. But for how much we were spending there, I thought they would do it for free. Other restaurants might decline but that’s rare. Instead came the absolute shock of my life. The waitress told us they could do it for a service fee, which is fine but it was for per person! I repeat, the service fee was for per person! I am not joking. The service fee ended up costing more than the cake. In fact, you could have gotten an appetizer and a main. It was ridiculously expensive. Even the waitress thought it was extremely unfair. But since it was new years soon and we weren’t gonna see each other for a while, and not to ruin the mood, we paid for the service fee. That why I can’t give a full five star, I mean you are only giving us some plates and cutleries, why are you charging so much?? For per person??? Even though not all of us had the cake…..

  • 5/5 derek n. 1 year ago on Google
    Nicely decorated. Good and prompt service. The Shirloin Steak is probably not their best dish but the cream brulee desert was fantastic.

  • 5/5 Nadine S. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food. I'd particularly recommend the SOS starter (trio of herring)

  • 5/5 Christopher R. 1 year ago on Google
    I have been here a few times, and I’m always pleasantly surprised by the quality. Food is prepared as if you were where they belong. Like snails. I love them, but how can a Swedish cook be so good at making them that I don’t need to go to Burgundy to enjoy them? And the wine choice! For me, wine is almost as important as the food. And they nailed it. They are expensive - we’re in Sweden after all - but exquisite. Nicely selected, you will always find the one for your dish. What can I say? Enjoy!

  • 1/5 Adam K. 1 year ago on Google
    Had my birthday dinner here, had a great experience in the past, but this dinner was indescribable. Drinks took 30 minutes to get here, food was wrong when it came out. When we went to pay the bill we complained about the service, and they said “we gave you bad service because you were rude to us.” -The service was bad from the minute we sat down and we were very nice, if you come here I advise to sit upstairs, the down stairs staff seems like a training camp for new waiters/waitresses.

    Classic swedish cousine in a fancy area. Nice classic facilities.

  • 5/5 Trent E. 10 months ago on Google
    Managed to get a late table as I was wandering and was not disappointed with an incredible seafood pasta dish. Really special and very full of seafood. I didn't get to try anything else as it was a quick late dinner but heard later from Swedish friends that I'd stumbled across a great place. Service and food seemed to support that. Was a bit quiet when I was there (late) but nice dining room and also some outside seats on the street.

  • 3/5 Νίκος �. 3 years ago on Google
    We've been there over 50 times last 12 years! A classic choice! Always kind staff but... yesterday the "Always in Grodan" - dishes didn't taste as good as always and the service was remarkably slow! Pity! Hope it was just an occasion!

  • 2/5 Kiki 9 months ago on Google
    Interesting old building, but that’s about it. Food was mediocre at best, as was the service. The seafood in the seafood pasta was old and rubbery. We have larger, fresher and tastier shrimp at the cheap Thai restaurant back home.

    What a splendid place! On Friday night, this is the place to be in Stockholm I'm sure! The restaurant is buzzing with music and conversations. We dined in the Abba room which offers a quieter atmosphere but you still get to share the vibe! Food was excellent, the lojrom as starter and steak tartar for main. Very nice Californian red as well!

  • 5/5 Armando A. 3 years ago on Google
    A true classic at the heart of Stockholm. It is in my book one of the best restaurants in Stockholm offering traditional Swedish food at great prices. It's also worth pointing out that the rotating lunch menu has yet to disappoint even though it gives you even more bang for your buck. Do not misunderstand this is not a budget restaurant and certainly offers high-end drinks and food with a classy environment to match. If you are in town looking for a place to have a business lunch this is the place.

  • 1/5 Tom K. 3 years ago on Google
    This is our latest review 25 Ot 2020: The wine and beer was alright We have had a custom to visit Grodan to have Calf's liver during many years. (10-15). Most of the meals have been good and enjoyable. Some have been quite bad as the liver was either badly prepared, cooked or full of tendons. Based upon our experience we ordered Calf's liver again and pointed out that we did NOT want the liver with tendons. Guess what happened one of the Calf's liver was uneatable as it was full of tendons which could not be cut nor chewed. The other was with some tendons and not very well prepared. It was a bit raw. We cancelled the Calf's Liver was full of tendons and kept the other one with fewer tendons. We ordered a potato pancake as a replacement. This dish was acceptable. Our meal was not a good one and we did not have the dishes at the same time. Has Grodan changed its Chef? Why do they not have the custom to offer a small compensation as coffee or a desert or filling up the wine glass when incidents as this happened. We had high expectations but was sadly very disappointed. Last Year: We have visited Grodan many times during the years. Many times I have had Calf lever. Twice I have got bad quality and badly fried liver and yesterday was one time. The dish was rather small full of tendons and raw not fried enough. This in spite of at ordering asking if the calf liver quality was good this time and the answer was “fantastic”. This was not true and again the liver was raw. I informed the staff . I was very disappointed indeed.
