Restaurant, Tallinn, Estonia (reviewed July, 2006)

Silk – Stylish Japanese

Silk sushi bar is a stylished version of sushi restaurants found nowadays in every major city. The interiors of the restaurant have very modern look and feel, somewhat typical to the more upscale joints in Tallinn. The restaurant is kocated on a quite prominent place in the Tallinn old town, and the patio combines good food with entertainment from the people passing by.

Restaurant Silk in Tallinn old town
The served sushi is average; I’ve tested better, but also lot worse. The list is extensive and there are also some hot dishes available. The service was snappy when we visited, but it happened to be still early lunch time and we were the first customers.

We came here four years ago and were impressed by the understated quality of the cuisine and the friendly professionalism of the staff. However, on a visit this month we had an entirely different experience. I took a photo of my girlfriend and a waitress quickly came over quite aggressively to tell me that photographs were not allowed. I challenged her as to why, the wind was removed from her sails and she seemed embarrassed, explaining the owner doesn’t like it. I asked if I could speak to him but he refused. Altogether the service was poor, the staff rude, the tempura soggy and the sushi below the standard of prepacked supermarket fare. Best avoided. Don’t bring your camera!

Real chip on thier shoulder types here. Desperate to fit in the higher echelons of European society, paranoid the rest of us look at them as little more than noveau riche, third world, ‘new’ Europeans. Resent relying on the tourist dollar so the staff make sure they’re unnecessarily, almost comically rude.

Obnoxious staff, shitty sushi and a clientelle of lower rung footballer’s wives types. Best avoided until they get their act together. Go somewhere that doesn’t see it as a chore to take your money.

Wouldn’t have happened when the Russians were in charge!
