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.

My wife and I stopped here for dinner our lone night in Yllasjarvi. We began with a mushroom soup and the salmon soup. I opted for the grilled reindeer liver while my wife had the salmon, and then we finished our meal with the squeaky...cheese in cream and cloudberry jam. We also indulged in a couple of drinks, of which they had a nice selection. The entire meal from start to end was phenomenal and, from Rovaniemi to Kemi to Ivalo/Inari, was easily one of the best meals of our trip. Our host was very hospitable and passionate about the traditional Lappish meals, and really added to the experience.More

Fantastic. All of our meals were of high standard. I ordered the reindeer inner fillet which was perfectly cooked, tender and flavoursome. No complaints from me.

Our high expectations towards good food were not met. Lapland specialty Poronkäristys was a disappointment in size and flavour. So was the beef tenderloin. In such place you do not expect to have salmon in form of medallion so it was a miss too.

Hei, onpas erikoinen palaute, koska nuo annokset kaikkein kohutuimpia ruokaamme. Makuasiat ovat aina hieman henkilökohtaisia. Tervetuloa uudestaan nauttimaan parempia makuja😀

A little bit better than food at gasoline stations. Chocolate cake was like eating sawdust, had clearly been in the oven too long. Quite nice place though. If you want great food in Ylläsjärvi, head to Aurora estate.More

They gave wrong main course to one of us and did not regret, though took off the plate as this was a customers blame when I announced that give me new filee and we are fine. The attitude was under every limits, plenty of possibilities...to fix it, when wanted. One first course was on table the whole evening though asked to take it away. No good, what comes to customer service.More

All of us were greatly Disappointed. The ingredients were not prepared at the restaurant and many components came from a freezer. We really hope this restaurant space would be put to better use and fresh ingredients applied. The quality of the meat did not met...the standard expected by the price tag (38€ plates...).More

We had traditional Finnish reindeer for a family dinner - very well cooked, good quality tasty meals for a reasonable price. The place is really nice with white tablecloths and candles. Great service. Recommended!

Cale for an early dinner around 16:30 and were the only customers for a while, until more came after 17. I had reindeer fillet and the ladies. Had goat cheese chicken. We all felt that the dishes were delicious. And so were the desserts (ice...creal, lemon sorbet, chocolate cake). The service was very friendly, and our allergies and preferences were considered in a nice manner.More

Good food slow service. Personnel was friendly. Steak was good. Only problem is that service wasawfully slow eventhough the placewas only half full. Maybe this is the local standard?
