I wanted to splurge on my last night in Tallinn. In all honesty, I could not get in to 180 - bad timing or solo status; further, I was a bit concerned about some of the negative reviews of Tchaikovsky. Speed bumps and worries aside...- I had a fabulous meal with excellent service outside in the lovely patio area. All courses were ample, complex and above all delicious. I added a caviar course with martini. My serving team was absolutely great. I was delighted with the meal - and wine pairings.More

The restaurant, atmosphere, service and Menu Degustation 6 was perfect experience to our family. Beautiful hall, peaceful background music and polite service made luxurious ground to the high-class menu. The menu consists of six different portions, but we got also three small "chefs greetings" between...them. Beautiful small portions offered us real "fireworks of tastes". The waiter gave us good propositions of wine. My favorite was "Steak tartare with artisan flavored mayonnaise, egg yolk gel and brioche" and "Lobster bisque with lemon aioli and grape sautée". I recommend warmly this restaurant and menu. Note that Degustation menu of 6 is available only in the evenings and to entire table companies until 9 PMMore

The waiter looked looked deeply troubled as we asked for a reservation the next evening. After careful search, he finally agreed to "At eight then...maybe." As we arrived promptly the next evening the dining hall was less than half full. It stayed that way for...the duration of our long dinner. The first waitress we encountered had no problem concealing her lack of enthusiasm for our arrival. Fortunately, the second one had a more welcoming tone, although there was still a sense of social distancing. The food was excellent, and well presented, as one could expect given the price level. We also got some good advice on one of the wines. The best part was the desserts! Real hits, both of them. Part of the up-nosed attitude of this establishment is the dress code: "smart casual." We did make an effort in that regard, but were rewarded with a parade of torn jeans, shorts, baggy T-shirts and flip-flops during the evening. A bit of a dissonance in the "Symphony of Russian Cuisine" that was advertised.More

Terrible service, or actually no service at all. Please do not waist your time, there is a lot more better restaurants in Tallinn…

No space; running like horses! Half empty restaurant. Seemed a little weak to me. Now it took them 10 minutes to even come to the front to speak with me, soooo not impressed with "such great service" comments. Oh well...things change.

I am writing this a bit late and unfortunately I have forgotten what we ate at Tchaikovsky. I do remember that it was good. The most memorable thing about the evening was the service, and not in a good way unfortunately. A white wine in...my wife’s wine package was obviously faulty. However, the waiter did not seem to believe her. I was forced to say very emphatically that the wine was indeed faulty. Only then did the waiter take it back and we were offered a glass from a newly opened bottle. Not sure how often this happens but it was not a nice experience. And not something that should happen in a restaurant like this.More

One of the finest restaurants I have ever had the pleasure of eating at. Breakfast has a Buffett option or a generous menu selection. Breakfast Buffett has eggs, bacon, cereals, porridge, a variety of cut meats, breads, salad items, juices, and drinks. Service is very...attentive and responsive. Dinner selections are fairly broad, with beef, duck, nice deserts, and a good wine selection. Reservations for dinner like many restaurants in Old Town are pretty much required.More

The food was excellent and the staff very helpful. Everyone speaks English, so communicating is not a problem.

Plusses + beautiful portions, beautiful restaurant + nice evening + overall quality of the food was good + especially beetroot -portion was nice Minuses - menu degustation didn’t offer surprises (which you except from fine dining restaurant) - the first dish from the kitchen arrived...1,5 hours (without any excuse) after we had arrived, so the waiting time was way too long (and made also the evening at restaurant too long) - the main course filet mignon was gummy and wetMore

The Tchaikovsky hits all the right notes. The menu is suitably small for an upscale, gourmet eatery, but with several appealing options. The borsch alone makes this restaurant worth visiting, as it was the best I've ever had. Our second plates and dessert choices were...also impressive. The service was perfect, and so was, I must say, our overall experience. A note: this restaurant does get busy in the evenings, so a reservation is strongly advised.More

We decided to have dinner after arrival at this hotel as the reception was highly recommending dining there. When we arrived there was nobody at the entrance for more than 3-4 minutes, we decided to wait to be seated, while the waiters were swinging pretending...they did not see us. Finally another couple arrived (speaking Russian) and they were taken care of immediately. Unfortunately we don't speak Russian, neither want to.. The staff appeared extremely rude and unprofessional and we have decided to have our dinner elsewhere which was much better decision and staying at this pretty, but disgusting restaurant.More

Tchaikovsky offers a fine dining experience one can rely on. The food is not very adventurous but prepared with care and good ingredients. The style of cuisine seemed more French than Russian to us. The ambiance is perfect for a fine dinner and the service...is professional.More
