EDIT (November 2022)
Now I have visited Astoria again and this time in the restaurant and at a booked table.
I take it all back, just take my money.
Incredible service. You know when you don't have time to think what you want to do next, but it just happens? A new napkin, a refilled water glass and when did they manage to infect that meat knife?
The food then, hello and hello. In fact, it was the only thing I was happy about on my last visit, and I wasn't disappointed now. I ate iberocotlet with kronätskockspure. Satan in the street how good it was. Absolutely perfect!
That said, Astoria take all my money. Just do it
REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2022
What a disappointment :( I usually try to stay away from negative reviews but unfortunately.
If you can't bear to read the whole thing, in conclusion: incredible food and drink, disastrous service
We were four people who came in spontaneously on a Friday at 9 and wanted to eat something small at the bar. I think we start with the positives:
1. We got a table right away and a woman I'm guessing was the head waiter took our drink order quickly and our drink arrived shortly thereafter.
2. The drinks were magical. We drank dry martinis and a spicy margarita which was probably the tastiest I've ever drunk
3. 2 out of 3 starters we ordered were magical. Brothers with browned butter-butter as well.
Now for the negative
1. We had to wait a long time to order food. When I ordered, I asked some questions about my dish as I didn't really understand how it was cooked etc. It turned out that the description I received was wrong. Fortunately, the dish was still very good
2. We had to wait for the food for 55 minutes, while we sat with empty glasses and tried to order from someone. When we finally got hold of someone, she said she couldn't help us because it wasn't her station
3. Someone bottles some food or drink from upstairs that ends up over one in my company. No one on the staff cares to do anything about this
4. There is a lack of bread for one of our dishes so when we point this out, we get the answer "no the bread it's over a long time ago". This dish demanded his bread and finally found another bread that didn't really fit.
5. We need to ask for the bill three times, two of which were to the same person and further wait 20min to pay. When we have to pay, no one has picked off our table from empty plates and glasses
5. No one on the staff commented on the long wait, that one in my party had food/drink over his head and we all the less any compensation for the inconvenience.
So boring a place like this should fail on such incredibly poor service, so inattentive. I will go back again, for the food and drinks and hope for a better experience then
