Worst service ever

by rd312

I went to the Winds for Father's Day brunch expecting good food and great service. However, my expectations weren't even close. We left after 85 minutes without receiving our food AND with empty drink glasses. The co-owner was completely apologetic (what else could she say?) - but without reason for the fiasco. And yes- I have been there before and been completely unimpressed my previous 2 times. I thought it must have been an off-day. This place is completely overrated. Don't go!!!!

• Pros: The Winds is located is a really great area with lots of shops and food.
• Cons: This has the worst service ever. Find another spot to eat.

Unique atmosphere- great wine-fresh baked goods-fond memories

by pickylee

The Winds Cafe- probably my most favorite restaurants of all times. The wines they have suggested are ones I consistantly select. The atmosphere including the way not two seats are the same. It is so special that I brought my husband there the night before our wedding, and we continue to go there on our anniversary every chance we get. I rate this one a 5 for fond memories. Picky Lee

• Pros: Atmosphere, food, bakery, and wines
• Cons: too far from home in Cincinnati

A Unique and Satisfying Experience

by poemsmith

What a fortunate choice! Winds Cafe has brightly-colored walls, interesting art , and a unique setting and set-up.

One look at the menu and I was in heaven! There were items I always wanted to try. The description of each entree was interesting and enjoyable ; not something you would see on any other menu.

I chose Game Hen Limoncello, which was delicious. Two others in our party had halibut and striped bass (which was a substitue for walleye that night); and one had the skirt steak. I thought Emeril had cooked our meals!! The only complaint I might have, is that according to the menu, it seemed I was to have a limoncello liquer served at the end of my dinner, but later realized that did not happen. All in all, I greatly enjoyed our visit to Winds Cafe, and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for something different.

• Pros: Unusual menu items, ambiance, pleasant staff
• Cons: expensive
