Nordic Village offers a truly unique and memorable dining experience in a cozy, chalet-style setting. Located on the 4th floor of the hotel, the ambiance is warm and inviting, with a temperature-controlled environment and charming decor that creates a festive, holiday mood. The restaurant features a four-course meal that includes a smorgasbord, soup, mains, and dessert, with nearly every dish being a new and enjoyable experience. Highlights include the Duck Country Patè, smoked whitefish, venison tartar, venison stew, and a delicious cake for dessert. The food is well thought out, balanced, and rich in flavors, with plenty of servings, making it a satisfying choice for special occasions like Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Service is consistently praised, with staff members such as Kim and Maria ensuring attentive, friendly, and well-timed care, enhancing the overall experience. The restaurant is accommodating of food restrictions and offers suggestions for cocktails and mocktails. The experience can be enjoyed in the comfort of individual chalet-like cabins, which are temperature controlled and equipped with music controls, adding to the charm.
Parking is convenient with valet options at a lower cost, and arriving early is recommended to enjoy the full experience, including a drink at the Lodge. While the food is generally celebrated for its richness and creativity, some reviews mention that simpler, traditional dishes might better suit everyone, especially during holiday meals. Overall, Nordic Village is a special, well-executed destination for those seeking a festive, cozy, and culinary adventure.
