Local place that will not disappoint. The food was amazing and so was the service. Nice selections of beer and great service. Indoor and outdoor seating in the heart of town.

We kinda broke down this far into our trip and ended up ordering food that we might in NYC, which wasn't executed quite as well as our local favorites -- but this is a completely legit spot for foodies / gourmands / gluttons such as...ourselves. Korean kimchi wings were great by American wing standards, but not quite the uber crispy Bonchon Chicken style wings the orderer was hoping to have. Ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and juicy and luscious. Since I'm a bbq snotwad who grew up in the south... I couldn't completely suppress the desire for dry smoked ribs, sauce on the side -- but I wouldn't be too surprised if Centrum serves the best ribs in Iceland. Chicken salad and crispy cauliflower mains were both fabulous and substantial, delivering some badly needed vegetable matter. (The cauliflower also comes with a side salad!) All of us fought each other for the 1/4 head of perfectly oven roasted cauliflower. (Sort of Israeli-style, but sans tahini.) Lamb was very good: a substantial, juicy, delicious cut, a touch gamier than we've had in other Icelandic restaurants, but not in any way unenjoyable to me. The best part (given our vegetable deprivation) for me may have been the creamy mashed potatoes and roasted turnips served alongside the meat. I'm afraid I inhaled this all in a very unladylike manner. Hats off to the chef and staff. We were so grateful for this delicious meal and warm hospitality after a very, very, very long day of travel.More

This is a restaurant that the locals go to. The food was incredible. The salmon on a bed of risotto was completely fresh with an unexpected zing of lemon. The Langostino with octopus ink pasta was extraordinary and the burgers more than satisfying. The wait...staff better than attentive …a high recommend.More

They made great cocktails and had great appetizers. I tasted both the garlic shrimp and the beef tartar and both were heavenly. I was also very happy that they could make my favorite cocktail for a reasonable price. The staff was also very nice and...sitting outside in the warm weather with nice music was a good experienceMore

This was our second choice restaurant. Our first choice Kaffi Ilmur was serving a brunch buffet. Luckily they let us look before buying this buffet was similar to most hotel breakfasts. Instead we chose this restaurant. My husband order the soup and I had the...garlic shrimp small plate. My dish had 8-10 shrimp- very decent with a few red tomatoes and garlic slivers. We were given a few slices of bread and we enjoyed a draft Einstok Pale Ale with lunch. Would go back and try something different next time.xMore

I would give zero stars if I could. The place was busy in the evening, but the hostess sat us at the bar. 30 minutes later, no server had even looked at us to ask about drinks, menus, etc. They took the order of the...people next to us and didn't even look at us. We ended up walking out of the place, and instead went to a great little falafel fast food place around the corner.More

My girlfriend and I went to this place to have a nice dinner during the easter weekend and we were not dissapointed. We got the 4 course easter set menu and had a glass each of chardonnay with the first starter and then shared a...good bottle of merlot that the waiter reccommended to pair with the main and second appitizer. The first course was salmon donut served with an amazing green sauce/purée. The donuts themselves did not taste a lot like salmon and were a bit doughy/tasting of flour, but the concept was really nice and the sauce was excellent! After that we had one of the best beef tartars I have ever had, it was served with some vegatable crisps and parmesan and it was very well seasoned. Then came the lamb sirloin served with salt baked celeriac, artichoke trio and mashed potatoes. We were not asked how we would like the lamb cooked. It came medium/medium well and was a bit overcooked for my liking but still good. Finally came the dessert which was crème brûlée. It had a slight orange flavor and my girlfriend (who is french) said that that would make it crema catalana/crema cremada (catalonian/spanish) and not crème brûlée (french). Regardless of country of origin it was very good! Overall a wonderful experience with good service, good food and a nice atmosphere. The menu also had a good variety of different foods.More

Came to this place on 28th August and must say what a chaos, the lack of service and organization was beyond poor . Never take your guest for granted because a word of mouth can make or brake your business.!!
