Going to miss this place. Hate seeing local business leave. Kansas City needs more places like this.

Our favorite restaurant in town. Mushroom strudel and smoked trout cakes are amazing! So devastated it's closing. Thank you for the wonderful food and service

I came here for a happy hour. This place exceeded my expectations. Their fried beets are amazing. Nice, clean interior and friendly staff. Good location. Parking can be tricky. Would highly recommend if you're in the mood for trying something new.

We went here for my husband's birthday. In our party of 7 each of us ordered something different and we all loved our dishes. The restaurant was quiet (8pm on a Saturday). Drinks were strong, but tasty. Especially the beer. Pricing was reasonable and the service was great.

Had the best cookies of my entire 47 years here. Enjoyed everything I had over two visits, and the waitstaff (Alex) was delightful. I would be a regular for certain if I didn't live on California. Mmmmmmmmm

Hidden gem, truly worth checking out! The drinks are spectacular, the plates are unique with a beautiful presentation and full of flavor. I will definitely be taking friends from out of town to enjoy this restaurant!

I hardly know where to start with this place. We love it so much! Having a restaurant in Kansas City that offers the unique cuisine of Scandinavia is already such a treasure about which to boast, but add to that the delectable menu of tasteful items and the expansive and remarkable drinks selection, and you have one of the BEST restaurant's in the Midtown area of Kansas City! The decor is lovely and well-done, and ambiance is enjoyable, and the service is very good -- they make you feel like you are really a valued visitor. Last but by no means least -- how on earth does a restaurant manage to make every single interesting (and sometimes a little scary-sounding) combination of ingredients on their menu taste so ridiculously perfect together?! I admire that chef, and highly recommend Krokstrom. We love, LOVE this place! <3

Holy cow. Still don't know how or why this place was not packed when we went. We enjoyed every single thing! From the pickled beer to the desserts. Everything was on point and we can't wait to take friends and family to spread the good word!

Such an interesting place! Unlike any other. The food was amazing and so was the service!

Absolutely fantastic. This is one of a few "MUST" restaurants. Lots of street and lot parking available right next to restaurant. We were promptly greeted and seated and then quickly attended to by our waitress. Good variety of selections from the dinner menu and happy hour menu without being overwhelming. Remember that Thursday us "happy hour" all day and evening. We had the mussels and flank steak. Totally delicious and prepared just as ordered. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will certainly go back.
We had a wonderful and unrushed evening with siblings. Our waiter was personable and extremely knowledgeable of the menus. Cocktails were amazing and the Aquavit list was extensive. Already planning another trip to take advantage of the Mead and Aquavit flights offered (this time with Lyft or a DD). The all day happy hour on Thursdays is a great way to sample lots of different foods and encouraged sharing.

Egg coffee is something different to try. No bitterness in that coffee! Not a lot to choose from for vegans, but do-able. Nice atmosphere.

We went here for the first time today for brunch and everything was fantastic! The smorgasbord was a phenomenal assortment of pickled vegetables, fish, and cheese, and the entrees were superb. The Swedish princess dessert and cardamom latte were wonderful. Very lovely atmosphere and good service. This is one of the best meals we've had in a while - we would easily eat here again!

Great restaurant. Had lunch there and it was delicious. Authentic Scandinavian food and drinks. Not a complicated menu. Nice big bar, very friendly staff and a cool atmosphere. Would definitely recommend going for a fun lunch or brunch.

This place is amazing. The food is just amazing. I advise people to try the sampler platter. If you go in, ask for Alex. He was THE BEST server ever!!!
