Golfstrømmen

We had the “Big Night Out” menu for two of us, seven courses all together. It doesn’t seem like a lot of food from photos but it was super filling. Ingredients are super fresh and my favourite dishes were Salmon and Caviar with tuna tartare. I’d recommend this restaurant for all the raw fish / sashimi lovers.

I really wanted to love my dinner experience here, especially after reading the glowing reviews from critics. But I left feeling let down- as I definitely didn’t have the experience the critics did. We had an early midweek dinner reservation and the restaurant was sold out of clams, mussels, lobster, and blue fin tuna. The seafood we ordered was very very good. The scallop crudo was spectacular. The oysters were very fresh and the shrimp was delicious. However, the $20 Caesar salad was ordered with dressing on the side and came swimming in it. It just wasn’t great. No corrective action when it was pointed out. Things I wish I had known before I went: parking can be a problem- the food court that the restaurant is in can get very very crowded- we had trouble finding a spot in the paid lot. The food court is very very loud. Conversation at our table was a challenge. Expect to pay high end sushi restaurant prices without the ambience or service levels. The food will be great. Call ahead to find out what they have run out of before going.

Three of us decided to check this place out for a work dinner. We had heard about it from colleagues and as a former resident of Norway, I thought it would be interesting to experience the fusion of Scandinavian and Gulf Coast seafood and techniques. We were not disappointed, as the food was top notch. We had the salmon sashimi (10/10), the fish and chips (9/10), a half dozen East Coast/half dozen Gulf Coast oysters-on-the-half-shell combo (10/10...incredibly fresh tasting and perfectly shucked and presented), the kanpachi crudo (9/10.....fresh as you can get, skillfully prepared, and the sauce it was served in was incredible on its own), and the steamed mussels (6/10). The mussels were the only average thing we tasted. The service was excellent, but the ambiance wasn't great. It was very brightly lit and while this particular place was almost empty of customers, the surrounding food hall was loud and full of somewhat rowdy patrons. I don't mind that if it's what I'm expecting, but for an expensive work function where you want to enjoy an intimate conversation, it's probably not the best place in town. I will go back, but not for the same type of meeting. All in all, this is an experience that is totally worth it if you like the best of the best in fresh seafood that is skillfully prepared and presented.

If you’re craving fresh seafood expertly prepared enjoying a unique vibe with award winning chefs this is your place. Let’s just talk about the lobster sandwich. It has a fancy Norwegian name I can’t remember but start w the bread - locally sourced sourdough (I asked!), avocado spread, fresh lettuce and MOUNDS of fresh cracked lobster. Definitely a splurge for lunch but it was so good I didn’t need dinner.

Golfstrommen hands down is one of the BEST meals I've had in a very long time. The oysters and crab were insanely fresh. The salmon was so well executed with a perfect ponzu taste. The mussels were so good along with the thing cut sourdough for dipping in the rich sauce. But the real star was the fried fish with house made tartare sauce. Omgosh it was heavenly! If you're a seafood lover do not pass this place up.

Excellent seafood, really great blend of flavors and styles! They have the best lobster roll in town, crispy fries, and that toro dish was awesome. Definitely will be coming back to try more food again!

Wow. The food was phenomenal. We ordered oysters and fried red snapper. Each dish was fresh and uber tasty. Be prepared for a wait, the food is fresh and made to order. The staff are excellent and attentive. We will be back and look forward to sending/bringing others to enjoy!

As the first diner at this restaurant, I absolutely loved it! Everything was fresh and well prepared. I plan to come back tomorrow night with a friend. The staff was professional and friendly.
