Honestly pretty noisy but I feel like it’s intentional so the tables feel more secluded. Personally wish the seats didn’t have a stool separating when dining for 2 but that’s more preferential. The food is phenomenal staff is so so friendly—it feels like they are background actors haha. The space is very intentional well done. Aquavit does not even compare to this if a date is what you’re looking for. The food is also very interesting while aquavit is more classical well done Swedish dishes this is a great space for a date as the dishes give you something to talk about with your partner that pertains to the space you’re in.
