Reviews of Sjömagasinet

Unfortunately, we would like to express our great disappointment with yesterday's Christmas buffet, including service.
We have previously had a tradition to visit Sjömagasinet's Christmas buffet with a few years' break to try other restaurants and looked forward to coming back and having the same nice experience as before.
Initially, no one received us and noticed that mulled wine was served on the outside, we only discovered this at dessert.
When asked for drinks, beer and a glass of white were ordered, the waiter asked if Chablis was doing well, surprised we answered yes, strange not to get a wine list and choose. That we now discover on our receipt that a glass of wine cost 325 SEK, completely outrageous!
The food was tasteless throughout, there was a lot of traditional Christmas food missing, such as lutefisk, ribs, shrimp omelet, risalamalta with juice sauce, saffron buns etc.
Finally, we had to go into the closet ourselves and pick up our outerwear, very strange that the closet is completely unmanned.
Sjömagasinet is committed to maintaining a high standard and class, unfortunately we are extremely dissatisfied and this evening was anything but worth the price, 1195 SEK, coffee is not included and a bottle of water, 25 ml costs 45 SEK.
It should be added that we presented our thoughts to Sjömagasinet and their response was a lot of defense, our experience or the very expensive wine means nothing.
Sad but if it continues like this, a very nice and well-known restaurant will probably go to the grave...

Coming to Gothenburg and will visit Sjömagasinet, which has now received new owners and a half-good review in DI. Expectations are high and they quickly fall downhill. We have been here a long time ago in Mannerström's time. Already in the doorway we are met by a man (certainly owner) who is completely mal placé and feels that hmmm, how will this evening be.
The food, yes expensive and far from expectations. The starters we chose were oysters and they were good, and the Fröya salmon was beautiful to look at but completely tasteless. Then come the main courses that are way too big and not worth even half the price. Seared turbot with spinach and creamy masonry claws (495 require their preparation). Where were they? Instead, beans, sugar peas, asparagus and potatoes. The plaice was ok but no more.
This requires work and, above all, a little more professional commitment from the owners.

Besökte Sjömagasinet idag tillsammans med familjen. Julbordet var helt fantastiskt, personalen lika så speciellt Elvira som tog hand om oss, prisvärt kommer tillbax.

Jag var på Sjömagasinet i somras med bl.a. min mamma som varit där flera gånger genom åren. Hon älskar skaldjur och ville absolut dit igen när vi besökte Göteborg.
Vilken besvikelse det blev, både för min gamla mamma och vi andra i sällskapet som var där för första gången.
En nonchalant man i jeans och tröja kom fram till oss när vi anlände till restaurangen ( det visade sig vara ägaren).
Vi blev visade en plats och han tyckte att vi skulle beställa champagne. Vi avböjde och när servitrisen kom fram till oss sade hon ” lite vatten vill ni väl ändå ha när det är så varmt, vanligt eller bubbel”?
Vanligt vatten i en glasflaska kom in på bordet. Det visade sig senare att vi fått betala 75:- för vattnet! När jag senare påpekade detta i ett mail så fick jag ett otrevligt svar tillbaka att det fattar jag väl att allt som serveras kostar pengar och nu kunde han ju inte göra något. Vattnet var ju uppdrucket!
Maten var för övrigt ett skämt! Helt smaklös och svindyr. Med sådana priser förväntar man sig lite arbete bakom rätterna. Här var det fisk, kokt potatis, riven torr pepparrot och skirat smör helt sonika uppslängt på en tallrik. Min mammas räkor var lösa i köttet och låg i en sörja av vatten.
Nej, här sätter jag aldrig min fot mer! Jag råder den som överväger att gå hit att välja någon annan restaurang istället om du inte vill bli besviken.
Sjömagasinet står tyvärr inte för kvalitet längre!

Service was a little bit slow slightly
Inattentive, but nice enough. The starter and the main course made the produce shine. The desert, fried Camembert was undercooked. The chocolate fondant was a chocolate truffle. The crème brûlée did not have a crusty top. In hindsight don’t order the desert.
The wine pairing was great
