"Sjávargrillið (Seafood Grill) Founded in 2010 by chefs Gústav Axel Gunnlaugsson and Lárus Gunnar Jónasson, Seafood Grillserves up decidedly upmarket Icelandic seafood dishes alongside high-quality meat dishes and some vegetarian-friendly offerings, too, in a wood-heavy interior that casually straddles the hip and the trad. As well as à la carte options such as slow-cooked lamb, grilled chicken breast, and some deliciously rich desserts (try the crème brûlée), the kitchenoffersset menus like the multicourse Big Grill Party and Fish Feast. The wine and beer list is top-notch, as is the warm and friendly service.If that isn't recommendation enough, the restaurantis conveniently located between the city’s famous Hallgrímskirkja church and the busy Laugavegur shopping street."

Excellent all the way around! The food was unique and incredible, our server was friendly and knew the menu inside and out and our cocktails were expertly balanced. We enjoyed the lively atmosphere with the real candle and wood ambiance. Highly recommended!

We had just arrived in Reykjavik, done some initial sight-seeing and were hungry for some great meal. Sjavargrillith was not our first target, but boy, we did not regret coming here. The interior was cool, the food spectacular, beautifully presented and very delicious. Would definitely come back here again!

Food was fantastic! The cod and catch of the day tasted so fresh. I would highly recommend people to come here.

The food was absolutely delicious — you can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the care put into every dish. The service was excellent, the place had a great vibe, and everything was just perfect. Definitely one of those spots you want to come back to. Highly recommended!

We were there right at 5 p.m. when they opened. Many customers were already waiting for the door to open. We didn’t have reservations but were lucky to get a seat and order quickly. Free bread was served. The seafood pasta had almost more seafood than pasta—scallops, shrimp, and lobster. We both really liked it! The catch of the day was wolf fish, which was also tasty.

Ambience: Lovely cute restaurant right in the middle of city. Loved the woody interiors. The lighting was a bit dim which made it even more romantic and cosy. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Food: What an amazing food they serve. The quality of ingredients were high, the food was very delicious and the portions just right. Every single dish was a masterpiece . Every dish was so well made and yet different that we can’t wait to go back and try more items from their menu. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Service: Amazing. The ladies were extremely kind and warm. All super beautiful with a big smile . The team was great. ⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️⚜️ Overall: Can’t wait to go back

Iris was our server. She was wonderful with recommendations for the Lobster Tacos and the seafood pasta. Both items were wonderful, delicate complex flavors that were very very good. She was helpful answering a bunch of questions we had since this was our first evening in Reykjavik. I absolutely recommend putting this restaurant on you list of places to eat. The cocktails were enjoyable. On a funny note beware of the bread, there was a dark piece that was challenging to see in the restaurant lighting. There was butter on it so i thought it was bread. It was a decorative piece of lava rock.
