Spotty Service - Good Atmosphere

by consultik

Troll Hallen for the most part is a great, realaxed bar with good food--although pricey. The Stein burger is worth the trip. We are frequent diners at the bar but be prepared for spotty service-especially if the adjoining Glitretind restaurant is busy. On a recent visit with friends, we brought in a high end bottle of red wine and instead of using the basic white wine glasses that are always on the table, we requested a larger size for a red wine. The waitress told us that we would have to actually pay for larger glasses! We asked to speak to the sommelier who I know through a business relationship. After a few minutes the waitress returned and changed out our glasses to the larger version at no charge. The sommelier never came to our table - shame on her! Summer is the best time to visit--less crowded with better service. Winter tends to be very busy with tourists in town to ski but service is not up to par.

Where's the peeps?

by Foodie2001

Well, it's a lovely place -- but you've got to wonder where everyone is -- there's no one here but you and your date, if you've got one. The food is right on, but very pricey for what you get. Service is largely indifferent -- save for the hostesses in earshot of the tables complaining and gossiping to each other!

• Pros: charming, quiet, romantic
• Cons: deserted, pricey
