Review of Brasserie Astoria – by Caroline A.

Contrary to what several people seem to think was a bit uneven on the food, I had a great experience, and despite high expectations, I was still wowed. Price tag definitely in the higher but there are many restaurants in Stockholm that take as much from the wallet with far from the same quality of service, local and food. Hence I went from Astoria with the feeling of wow and, what a catch! We had a later sitting and were warmly welcomed in the door and got the empty luxury of choosing a table outside or inside, but despite the warmth, the desire was to experience the evening from the restaurant itself and not from the street. The entrance hall is cool where you get to step in and down a bar area and then again rise to the dining room. The staff impressed and were very caring. In all honesty, had a very difficult time choosing from the menu (so have to come back to eat more) but it landed in oysters Rockefeller as well as duck, both with strong recommendation but perhaps empty a little stronger for the oysters.
