to witness the little creases on Mike's forehead disappear and light come to his eyes and the corners of his mouth go way up. It made my face mimic the transformation as well. I don't think you'll guess the reason behind it so I better tell you before you let your imagination work too long. It were the customer service skills of our waitress tonight.
One of the reasons I've decided (so far) not to write down our experiences when dining out here is, as Mike says, if you can't say something nice... So when we were provided with the list of ingredients when inquiring about the meat content of a dish and recommended an alternative to a less popular menu item, when our glasses were refilled before becoming empty, when I was brought a bowl with warm water to rinse my fingers, when the waitress apologized for not getting a drink fast enough (as she had the whole dining area to serve), and when she made eye contact! (a no-no for servers in Tallinn whenever a customer is trying to get another drink or the bill) it was enough to elevate our moods for the evening.
Add to this exceptional service good food, live background/dance music on a Thursday night, and an open grill area and you get a restaurant we would recommend. So if I recommend it I better reveal the name: * in downtown Tallinn.
* - Read the comments on what happened to the name.

A year later I cannot recommend the restaurant anymore. The building is no more, the attentive server has left. The restaurant relocated. We still go there every once in a while to sit on their summer terrace but do not expect nor receive that exceptional service :(
RIP customer service in Tallinn.
