Review of Brasserie Astoria – by Fredrik J.

Magnificent, neat and big! Was here on opening Friday and it was noticeable. First met by two guards at the door who, after five minutes, referred to the head waiter, who in turn referred to the next head waiter upstairs. It was not a problem but mostly spoke for how big a restaurant you had smacked up on Nybrogatan.
Once at the table, everything was great: reprehensible service, "easy-to-read" menu and good wine tips. Actually had higher expectations for the food and in terms of price, there are plenty of more affordable options with tastier food. But none as grand.
The worst thing about the experience, however, was that several table neighbors ordered some dish that was flambéed at the table. This meant 1) that the service staff had to stand and toil with it for eight minutes while other tables had to wait and 2) that one's clothes, which went in the laundry basket directly, smelled flambéed for several days. Skip that thing.
All in all, a (perhaps somewhat weak) four.
