Reviews of Hillenberg

This text has been translated automatically. Show original »

It's been 4 years since I wrote my review about Hillenberg and I think the level is a bit better. Niklas Ekstedt has taken over the baton and there is a higher level of food, the atmosphere is cozier but unfortunately the service was slow and inattentive, except for the super nice head waiter. Among other things, we brought in the best-selling dish; pasta with mushrooms and truffles and I understand why it is the top seller, it is super tasty! The other girls took the tuna salad on kale - less tasty. Preferably recommend Hillenberg for a quick post-job dinner, you eat well and at least go home satisfied.
After a long time we were back at Hillenberg, we want it to be good but it always falls short in some way. Yesterday was very empty, we arrived at 9pm and there were a few away with guests. The service is still sluggish and inadequate, the food is perfectly ok but no more than that. Quite tasteless, however, the pasta is still the best on the menu. I took the steak tartare which was actually good but eventually it starts to grow in your mouth, of course you should not take a whole, a starter size would have fit better and the taste would have felt more positive.

I really want to enjoy this a lot more than I do, but I can't.
Or rather, maybe I want them to tighten up a bit so it will be as good as it has the potential to be.

Because the location is great and the room is super nice. The service is knowledgeable - but my goodness how slow and slow it goes. It is downright deplorable how lax it is. We were there for lunch, the room was maybe half full - MAX - and we had to wait 30 minutes for a glass of champagne each. We tried to make eye contact to no avail, then wave a little gently, we shouted a humble little "sorry" but zero reaction.

We each took a whole Toast skagen. And it was super good, one of the better ones I've eaten and then I'm really a skagen lover! And the toast that came about was really golden and butter-fried just the way it should be! But, the mess itself with the skagen was so vanishingly small! And then, as I said, we took a whole portion. Which was also EXPENSIVE. I thought it was a bit too expensive even before I took it in, but considering the size, it was almost scandalous - even though it was so good.

Really wish they fix the service and throw on a little more rub on the portions - because there is potential for a much better rating - but not right now.

The location, interior design and service get 5/5. Really nice lovely room in modern style. The pulse is high but at a moderate dinner level. They have managed to fill up the large room and created a nice festive atmosphere without being too much party.
Nice bar also which is great if you want to have an aw or a glass before dinner.
Unfortunately, the food does not really measure up. We shared some different starters, two mini pizzas (roe and a veg) which was ok. Must say that the roe pizza at Brillo is mkt better.
Then we shared fried sweetbread with mayo which was sick good, tastiest of all we actually ate.
Then I ate a steak tartare which was ok. Tasted not so mkt and the meat was too much malt in my taste. My party took a truffle paste that tasted more cream than truffles. Then there wasn't much that attracted me to the menu. It was nothing new or exciting. Pretty bland menu to be honest.
But a cool place and good atmosphere!

A stable third.
The room, the atmosphere and the interior are given a 5th. So neat, intimate, inviting and pleasant, here I could easily sit for several hours. The chairs are super comfortable and the sound level is perfect, just right surrig that gives big city pulse feeling but you can have a normal call. The room was clean and comfortable. The lighting is amazing, moderately muted and provides just the right dose of intimacy. The venue is divided into bar (with menu bar), the restaurant itself (place with about 100 people) and then a cocktail bar.
A lyxkrog that fits into the Östermalmsområdet. Klientelen is dominated somewhat more by Kostymnissar but I did not experience that the place is snoffsigt or plasticky.
The service was OK.
As most of the Yelp complained about, I rather felt the opposite. Super rar and Professional, alert and effort to make it comfortable for us.
The food is approved, good and just enough satiating, no smaksenationer but it OK-sometimes needed normally, however, it is not OK that it is overpriced, not worth the money you pay. Especially not when little things like taking 70 kr for water and that the side-salad cost the same amount. As I always claim, I pay more than happy but in that case I want my taste buds to be ecstatic.
A solid wine list and most champagnes can get on glass and not a whole bottle. Generous cocktail list.

Sum total: I'm totally in love with the place and much that appeals to me but the question is who wants to pay for food that IOFs delivers but hardly surprises...... but but, me, you will find in the bar in that case next time, drinking wine and enjoying life

Trevlig ställe som serverar god mat till hyggliga priser, hade dock väntat mig lite mer. Plus för läget.

Återbesök 2021: testade samtliga av deras förrätter, som alla var mycket bra, samt deras entrecote, som var bra men där bearnaisen lämnade lite att önska. Priserna håller kvar betyget på en trea även om maten i sig förtjänar en fyra.

Jag hade ganska höga förväntningar, då det är Niklas Ekstedts restaurang. Själva lokalen var jättebra, modernt och snyggt. Service var sådär, tog lång tid innan de tog beställning, ingen som stämde av m.m. Maten var helt okej men för det priset borde det vara bättre. Kan tänka mig att gå på aw här.

Lite overrated, lite för dyrt, ibland lite för lite mat - endast ätit lunch här. Deras tryffelpasta är ju en riktig kändis, men alltså tycker tyvärr det är något som saknas känner mig alltid liiiite otillfredsställd efter jag ätit den. Dock plus för fantastiskt inredd lokal 👌
