If you've been curtailing your Swedish meatball intake, tonight's the night to let loose. IKEA, which is arguably the preeminent source for all things Swedish around here (especially food), is holding its annual Easter Smörgåsbord tonight, Friday, April 11.
The price for “IKEA FAMILY Members” is $9.99 per adult, and $2.49 per kid aged 12 and younger. The nonmember price is $12.99 per adult, $4.99 per child.
Tickets are sold per seating time and are on sale now at the restaurant.
