Sjávargrillið

Outstanding seafood restaurant. Had to try the Skal drink ...delicious. ordered the FOTD which was wolf fish. The preparation was superb. Had the rhubarb tart for dessert also delicious. A great way to end my trip to Iceland

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!

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

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!

Terrible service. Everything took extremely long from taking order to getting basic water and bread. Waitress very rude and dismissive. Food is terrible and horribly overpriced. Soup lacked flavor. Scallops nothing special. Fish of the day was more potatoes than fish. 4.7 rating is not accurate at all. Probably a lot of fake reviews.

Overall a very nice dinner, even if not outstanding across the board. Would recommend. Was pretty empty around 6 on a Friday night but started to fill up by 7 so a reservation would be wise. The ambiance is nice if a little too dark/dim in areas, making it hard to see the menu and the cleanliness of the place/plates. Our server was nice and super sweet although we didn’t get her name. Food-wise, the bread tasted fresh and was delicious, and the lamb sirloin was tender and not gamey, so was great for someone not a fan of lamb. However, the neck did taste gamey and I would personally have preferred a lighter sauce than hollandaise for the whole dish. Similarly, the shellfish pasta had a lot of fresh seafood and potential, but was sadly held back from reaching the heights of greatness by an exceedingly average sauce. The standout of the night was definitely the langoustine tacos, which I had been least excited and most skeptical about coming from SoCal, but turned out to be the bomb. The pairing of flavors, from the savory to slightly sweet plus the delicate crispy breading of the langoustine was just simply *chef’s kiss*. These are definitely worth the hype, if not necessarily the other dishes. The lunch menu is more limited but also cheaper (and does include the tacos!) so that might be a better option if you’re wanting to try this place and want to be a bit more budget-conscious.
