Popular restaurant. I would not refer to it as a bar as it is almost impossible to come in for a drink. The few places at the bar get used for diners. Many reviews refer to it as touristy and the menu does seem to...push the traditional Icelandic choices. Which seemed a bit gimmicky aimed at tourists. But we went there twice and many of the clientele were Icelandic. First visit was our first night in Iceland and spoiled by the chaotic table allocation and 'couldn't care less' attitude of the person handling the table allocation. Like several places we visited there seemed a reluctance to let tourists book a table in advance. My guess is that they get let down too often by no shows. So you have to wait for a table but with not much space for people to wait. Second visit was much simpler. OK, so we went early having realised that most Icelanders eat at 6pm. But we got a table immediately. Avoided the quirky specialities like the sheep's head or whale fin. Good selection of draught beers but of course at typical Iceland prices. Food was tasty and reasonably priced (on our first visit we would have said pricey but then we had not experienced the high cost of everything in Iceland).More
