MICHELIN 2 Stars
2021
From the OpenTable editors: A decades-long devotion to Scandinavian fine dining has earned this Midtown staple two MICHELIN Stars and a three-star New York Times review. Minimalist interiors with undulating wooden ceilings accompany dishes that arrive on earthenware that's equally stunning. Sit back and dig into chef Emma Bengtsson's tasting menus full of creative takes on Nordic classics like flaky cod and asparagus in buttery Norwegian Sandefjord sauce.
