This is a Finnish restaurant and bar So, it's 5 stars if you are from Finland and feel nostalgic for Finnish really basic home cooking and want speak Finnish. They also have gigs, even for us "youngsters" (<50 years), featuring also even popular Finnish rap artists. And you can book tours. In Finnish. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother :)

Good food and service. However, there was no mention of pea sprouts in the menu. I’m allergic to those.
