   We arrived 15 minutes early for Easter Brunch. We were told that our table was not ready so we went to the bar to get a Bloody Mary (excellent mix). After 15 minutes the hostess retrieved us and brought us to our table. A small round table next to the front door. Right next to it. Like someone may bump you when they come into the restaurant. We said no thanks, I can’t believe we waited 15 minutes for one of the worst tables in the restaurant. We asked to sit at a high top in the bar where we had a great meal of oysters, a shrimp po boy, and salmon with all the fixings. Why do hostesses do this? We were decked out in nice clothes, quite respectable and appropriate for an Easter Brunch. This place has great food that is not cheap, but the service I would have to rate poorly only because of the way the hostess treated us.

   I’ve been wanting to go to the Windsor house since it opened and it didn’t disappoint! Such an amazing vibe. Brunch was fantastic, drinks were great, the decor is out of this world. I already can’t wait to go back, need to try dinner!

   We really enjoyed Easter brunch with our family at the Windsor House. The menu was creative, thoughtful and delicious but would love to see more vegetarian and vegetable forward options on the menu overall including more salads- Even the fries are made in beef tallow. The cocktails ambience and service were top notch

   We have been to brunch at the Winsor House several times before and we always enjoy our experience. The tables are ready promptly per time of the reservation and the service is excellent. Most delightfully, we enjoy the quality of the food!

   Limited choices. 8% add on for back of the house staff is not warranted. Pay your people. Portion sizes for the price not great.

   The wait staff was very pleasant. The service was slow. The salad and oysters were very good , but the poached halibut was dry and bland. The coffee was Luke warm. It’s over priced for what you get. Overall It was fine, but I don’t feel the need to rush back.

   Our server was especially good! I think her name was Chelsea. Really facilitated and enhanced our experience and the ambiance. Chef/kitchen staff delivered deliciously for all 4 in our party- Thank you for this amazing local restaurant! We live right here in town and appreciate having such a great place to count on so nearby.

    Amazing evening out! Girls night to celebrate birthday's and our experience couldn't have been more personalized. The staff was attentive, food was 10/10 and ambiance is always cozy and welcoming. Can't wait to go back!
