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.

Restaurant chosen after a long evaluation... but the result is perfectly on line with the highest evaluations. Kind and professional personnel, good service, delightful food (trout and pork), good choice of local beers. Good liquor of their production. Right prices. When I asked to visit...the mill (with guests till the second floor), they have lighted till the last fifth floor. Really appreciated.More

Small group of 8 catered for. The staff were friendly and patient as we all made our selections. Good choice on drinks beers, cider, cocktails and non alcoholic drinks. I has beef liver and my husband had pork loin - beautifully presented and delicious. We...also shared dessert. The waitress happily split the bill. Lovely atmosphere in converted old windmill.More

We went here since the restaurant had quite good reviews and a label for ”gluten free options” so was expecting for that. However the waittess seemed like she had no clue what is gluten. She recommended us Orzotto as a gluten free meal. I never...had orzotto before but I started doubt after I discovered its made out of barney. After third time checking the waitress went to the kitchen to find out its not gluten free. 1/5 because It can be quite dangerous to eat gluten for someone who has gluten allergy. I think the staff should be aware about the food allergies if the restaurant is labeled as ”gluten free options”. Personally I would not recommend this restourant to a gluten free person because it can be a bit disappointing. There are way better gluten free restaurants in town. After all the waitress was still expecting tip and seemed quite displeased when I refused and explained. If the restaurant reads this I hope it makes sense.More

My husband, daughter (2yo) and friends arrived on Saremaa and decided to have lunch at here on our first day. It wasn’t busy, service was good and there was a whole playhouse full of toys for my daughter to play with (like in many other...Estonian establishments) which was absolutely brilliant. There was also a play area inside which was great. One of us had the trout which came with asparagus and that looked a nice dish which I wished I’d had, albeit it looked quite plain. I ordered a pasta dish with sun dried tomatoes and brocolli which was really salty and extremely overpriced at €14 as I’ve made better pasta myself (and I’m not a great cook). My husband had the Caesar salad (also average) and this was clearly prepared using sliced chicken from a supermarket - so disappointing considering this dish was around €14 again. Not worth it at all. However worst of all was my friend’s vegan platter which was raw cauliflower, raw carrot, pickled mushrooms from a jar and one beetroot dip. This was again very expensive ( forget the price) considering very little effort had gone into its preparation. We were served (what appeared to be) homemade rye bread and butter at the beginning of the meal which I thought was the best part. All in all, a nice place to sit and stop but I definitely would not recommend the food. If you were hoping to eat something that was more organic/or a farm to table experience it would be better to look elsewhere.More

The things that went wrong: two of us got their startes quickly, two others had to wait more than 30 minutes. The steaks were cold and vegetables were hard as stone. One of us wanted vegetables instead of potatoes but potatoes is what he got...well,...the waitress took the plate back and returned with more stone-hard vegetables... I paid with credit card and first the waitress tried to charge the amount of my pin code!!! The waitress was actually nice, very friendly, but completely untrained for the work and had not got a clue of how to do her job.More

Very nice atmosphere and clean light place. There was a concert outside and the first drinks took some time. There was 14 of us so everything took some time but the waitress was excellent and handled situation well. Food was very good, everyone was happy...with the portions. I recomment this place.More

This was the perfect place for a family summer lunch. Potatoes with goat cheese - wonderful (and the beets - perfect!), warm duck salad also very tasty. A large choice of local and foreign beers. But the highlight was the iced blue cheese cake -...to die for. Lovely and friendly service and amazing view from seats on the second level of windmill.More
