Not amongst the fans I'm afraid. I used the Groupon for 4 on Saturday night. The groupon itself was confusing: it consisted of 1 side plate, 1 appetizer, 4 mains, and 2 desserts. We ordered an extra appetizer but also got another that we didn't order, but the server insisted we did, even though English was not her first language and everyone agreed it was not even mentioned. Anyway, we took it without too much of a fight.
The server was pushing a seafood stew on special which was an extra charge. Sounded nice, in a tomato and saffron broth. Turned out to be 8 mussels, a squid, and two shrimps in some lukewarm canned tomatoes. This was an extra $12 per person! Not good and suspiciously a special for Valentines day two nights before. The other mains ordered were Arctic Char (okay), and White-fish, which was coated with something with the taste and consistency of ash.
The side plate was fried smelts - quite tasty. The appetizers were scallops (two, lukewarm), lobster bisque (satisfactory), and the accidental Octopus (really good). The two desserts were sticky toffee pudding (what's not to like?).
Had two bottles of pinot grigio and the final bill was ~$200. The room was nice enough, I suppose, but none of us were really happy - I suppose it was the let down of the mains.
Just my two cents.
