Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Trendy, sleek, clean, but food was average. Expected so much more when we saw the Michelin plaques. We ordered the scallops which were excellent. The trout was also good, but both had the same citrus butter saucesince we ask for no truffle sauce. You'd think...they would mix it up for us. Risotto was bland. Ordered the Argentinian shrimp with it which were horrible, mushy and inedible. Really couldn't believe they served those to us. When we told them they were awful, the server said that those type of shrimp have more fat and that is why they are mush! Unbelievable! Like we don't know about shrimp from Monterey Bay/San Francisco area!?More

Amazing. Wonderful atmosphere. Super friendly and inviting staff. A proper wow-factor when the three starters come served stacked on top of each other. One starter better than the next leaving us in awe with every bite. This was the absolute highlight of our Tallinn food...tour. The warm smoked salmon and beef for main course were equally stunning. A perfect example of execution and understanding of ingredients. A beautifully executed dinner. Will go back as soon as possible. The panna cotta desert wasn’t as impressive as the others but still satisfied our sweet tooth and tasted nice.More

After spending most of our Tallinn short break in the old town we ventured into the new harbour area which had some new apartments, shops, restaurants, etc It was lunchtime so we’re looking for somewhere to eat and this restaurant looked great as it had...plenty of tables next to the harbour and a couple of Michelin award plaques outside. It took a while to get menus but there was a good selection when they arrived. We chose the sourdough bread and a portion of anchovies (both were excellent) to keep us going while our main dishes were being cooked. For our main course we ordered the dish of the day - risotto with chicken thigh, mushrooms and spinach. This was excellent and really tasty. They also had a good selection of different drinks - we had a rhubarb lemonade and a sparkling iced tea. Whilst the food was great the service was a little haphazard- the head waiter/owner was trying to do much by himself, our server didn’t bring the water we ordered (and later tried to charge us for) and we struggled to get anyone’s attention to bring us the bill. Despite the service issues we still enjoyed our lunch and felt the €42 bill was good value for moneyMore

Nice relaxed, but clean place to eat together with a friend or partner. The drinks were good. The starter was good, the main course too, but the sauce overshadowed the taste of the steak. The service was good, but busy.

We had a fantastic lunch here! The food was fresh and skilfully prepared, and service was excellent. I also loved that the restaurant welcomed our three year old and had a very reasonably priced kids menu. The location is beautiful and it was refreshing to...get out of Tallinn immediate city center. I highly recommend a meal here!More

Nice spot next to marina. Great food (a little heavy on the capris) and service. The highlight was the rhubarb Napolian pastry.

5/5 Fantastic food and beautiful place. We had the Lore experience menu and i must say that the trout was AMAZING. And the price was very good. Service was bit shy, but one waitress was bit more social in english than others. Food was excellent...and i would definently recommend this to all who wish to find fresh, good tasting food that also fills you up. One minus was the side bread with olive oil, i would prefer house butter or something special.More

We had "Lore menu experience" and the food was excellent! All the foods were really good tasting and did not need any more, cause we were really full after that. The only "minus" is from the service. Maybe some language barrier? The service would have...been warmer. Few photos from the best dishes :)More

Been traveling to Tallinn and all around Estonia several times, and by far this is the best or second-best restaurant experience overall. When we visited we did not know that this is Michelin mentioned restaurant. In many other countries if you would visit places like...this they would not recognize kids or families. But not Lore - they do. Service is great and mellow, the atmosphere is warm and cozy. Here you feel welcomed and cared for. That is the essence of good food and great cook as well restaurant after all.More

Located in trendy Noblessner area, right next to the seaside. Because it was a warm summer evening, we decided to sit outside and look at the beautful sunset at the same time. Young, friendly waitress and overall we had a nice dinner. I started with...the Kalamatsi Goat Cheese and continued with Veal Schnitzel and both were real tasty. Not the cheapest place in Tallinn, but totally understandable, considering their location. And no wonder, that they also got Bib Gourmand recommendation from MichelinMore

The food was excellent, but service not so much. Our table was forgotten by the waiter, wines came much later than food. It wasn't particularly busy time so I don't know what was the excuse. Overall experience was average.
