Smor

We popped in for a Saturday night dinner and was surprised with how quiet it was. We are always happy to have good Scandanavian food. In terms of food, we started with the tasty trout toast - salty from the heaped on roe, and overall good trout. The tuna tartare, comparatively, was slightly undersalted but still yummy. We enjoyed the heartiness of the sesame schnitzel - crispy and served with a cucumber yogurt and sweet curry mayo. The shrimp sandwich, more like a shrimp cake with herbs was our least favorite. We finished the night with Danish pancakes (crepe-like pancakes), moist and tasty with blueberry jam and cream. We were there in time for happy hour and got a carafe wine at an excellent deal. Overall a lovely meal although the ambiance is a bit cold (both stark and temperature setting).

I loved this place for brunch. The bread, pastries, and coffee were top-tier!!I came here around 9 AM on a Saturday and by 10 AM. The place was almost completely packed. A little overpriced for the portion sizes but overall would go again

Scandinavian bakery and cafe by day; restaurant by night. Surprisingly busy on a frigid weeknight. They had ample seating for walk ins at their counter, but it seemed their table seating was mostly booked up. We grabbed a couple seats at their counter, but I think they likely could have squeezed us in at a table. I'm guessing there were some more cancellations than expected due to the weather.We had a big appetite and likely over-ordered. I started with a glass of gamay which was surprisingly served very chilled. I believe there were eight or so wines available by glass. Additional bottle menu which I didn't review. They had some beers but no spirits.Food wise, the smor hot dog and the corn fritters were served first. I likely wouldn't have ordered the hot dog, but it was circled on the menu leading me to give it a shot. It was a pricey wiener at $7. The justification for the pricey comes from the fancy bun, fancy ketichup, and fancy mustard. I wouldn't have mind spending a bit more for fancy meat too.The corn fritters were served with a creamy sauce. I liked the texture of the fritters a lot. Crispy on the outside with more of a stringy feel on the inside. The temperature was perfect. Sometimes I bite into a fritter and burn myself from the inside; this was not the case.Ensuing course was the beans in broth with their signature sour dough. Sour dough was reheated to give it a slight crisp. The broth had a syrupy texture to it and was quite savory. Soup also had potatoes and bits of pepper. All together, it was quite flavorful and we made sure to clean up every last bit with the bread.We ordered two main courses which ended up being a bit too much. We probably would have been fine with one main or another small plate. The first main that was served was the shrimp burger. One of the best shrimp burgers that I've had. Had a big meaty patty which was the star. Served a fluffy and milky bun with cucumbers in a tzatziki like sauce. We also had the sesame schnitzel. This was also one of my favorite dishes of the night. Schnitzel was super thin with a medium thick and crispy breading. Meat was still juicy which admittedly is tough to accomplish for a thin cut. It was served with a curry sauce and cucumbers in a creamy sauce. I highly recommend spritzing the accompanying lemon to provide some acidity to compliment the savory and saltiness of the schnitzel. Pacing of the food was on point. Staff was informative. I believe there was only one restroom which was single occupancy and handicap accessible.

I recently visited this spot for breakfast to-go on two separate occasions. Both times, the food was delicious, though the first time my order was incorrect. Despite this, the overall experience was positive.I preferred the sausage over the bacon. The restaurant is a lovely sunny spot if you plan to dine in, but since I only tried the takeout, I can speak to how quick and efficient the service was. It's a great option for a tasty, quick breakfast if you're in the area!

Okay y'all this place is fire. I'm sooo happy they opened a Smor in the Clinton Hill neighborhood because this is what we need here. If you want that cozy neighborhood cafe feel this is the place to me. They have brunch and dinner options. Their coffee and their pastries are amazing! They recently just opened but I've been here like 10 times already. Staff are super attentive and amazing. I've only had great service thus far. There was a day where my partner and I waited for like 30 minutes to get our order -- there was a glitch in the system and our order just happened to be skipped over. They handled it very well and treated us for the inconvenience.

My friend and I had a fantastic dinner here! The space is intimate and modern. We ordered 5 different dishes to share including the Miso Scallops, which were a special that night. Everything was absolutely delicious! We could've prob done with one dish less but we were excited to try it all. Our other dishes were the Trout Toast, Tuna & Stracciatella, Potatoes & Anchovies, and the Crispy Shrimp Sandwich. Service was friendly and attentive. I'd definitely recommend checking it out!

This place has so much potential, and I'm eager to return and try more dishes!The interior is very Scandinavian- beautiful in its simplicity, which allows for the emphasis to be on the natural light (skylight has beautiful exposed beams too).Tables are very small, we had to stack plates a bit with our table of 4 (we also had a baby and a dog, so, we had some extra juggling to do, but it didn't bother us much!The water cups are plastic, which was a bit disappointing, since the coffee cups are all gorgeous, unique ceramic. Plus, plastic is the devil. It just didn't jive with the Scandinavian feel- glass would have felt better (and so much more eco-friendly, and better tasting water to boot).I ordered a drink 3 times, but struck out the first two times. First I ordered a decaf latte, but they don't have decaf coffee (I'm a caffeine lightweight, what can I say). The second drink I ordered was their elderflower fizz but since they just opened, the liquor drinks on the menu are a tease- they don't have their license yet. However my friend's beer was delicious, so there is always beer and wine. Then I tried ordering a matcha, and they made me one, yay.Service was attentive.Now for the food! The 4 of us adults shared bites of everything. Absolute favorites were the ham & cheese croissant, the cardamom bun, the shrimp sandwich and the pickled herring. My friend's egg sandwich had fluffy, soft eggs. I was not impressed with the matcha donut, as it tasted like a regular donut with barely a hint of matcha. I also wasn't fond of my avocado toast- the ingredients were fresh but it was pretty bland other than the chili oil on top, but it needed some tang or savory element.All in all it was a positive experience and I can't wait to come back and try more (and get the pickled herring and the cardamom bun again!).

I've been wanting to try SMØR, and had the pleasure of a quick brunch yesterday. Everything was delicious, drinks, food and the to-go Cinnamon roll and savory scone. The standout was the crispy shrimp burger and smashed potatoes done perfectily with a dill aoili. And the prices were great , will definitely be a new go to!

I was a regular at the Manhattan location and super happy they opened closer to home. I have dined here three times, one brunch and two dinners. All three times did not disappoint. Quality food and great service. brunch i had bagel and lox and the cardamom danish, both great. dinners we shared appetizers and entrees. Love the bean soup, trout bread, schnitzel, and sausage dishes. delicious wine at reasonable prices. make sure you have the pancakes for desert!

Dang the food was so good. My friend and I split the chicken salad sandwich and the lox plate. Bread was fresh and may have been either baked in house or found locally. The only thing that wasn't my favorite was my mocha, I think it had been sitting on the counter for a few minutes so the foam got all bubbly and it was lukewarm. But the service was great and vibe was awesome so I still would rate it 5 stars.
