The cold starter course brings lefse with cinnamon butter, a plate of Jarlsberg, brunost and cheddar, a new chilled Nordic shrimp salad, and greens with lingonberry vinaigrette. The lefse rolled up with cinnamon butter scored 4.5 out of 5, and the mayo-based shrimp salad with dill and citrus also got 4.5 and was called an improvement. The caramelized brown cheese was the cheese standout while the cheddar was the most boring, and the salad was middling at around 3 out of 5. A strong start overall, with the shrimp salad the highlight.
