| - While IKEA enthusiasts may be disappointed that they don't serve meatballs and gravy, visitors to Karelia Kitchen will be pleasantly surprised that Scandinavian cuisine is healthier and more diverse than we'd all thought. (How about that?)
Now, onto the sharing-plate deliciousness of the Smokehouse Platter.
This is such a fun way to eat-- honestly, it's like you're foraging. There's smoked meats and fish, there's mustards, there's greens, there's pickled things, there's fruit preserves, there's flatbreads... oh my gosh, you just keep making these random little sandwiches and it keeps you busy for like forty-five minutes.
Now, three tips for you:
Dessert Tip: If you're someone who doesn't usually like carrot cake because of the sweet cream cheese icing, then you'll definitely like the Karelia carrot cake.
Flower Tip: The flowers in this restaurant are in tilted vases, and the candles are not inside a jar. Try not to set the leaves on fire. (Although the scent really does compliment the Smokehouse Platter, haha.)
Date Tip: If you're looking for a place to bring a date, come here. Sharing the Smokehouse Platter with someone new ensures that you'll have a nice icebreaker to get your through that awkward "getting-to-know-you" phase. (You're welcome.)
