We really enjoyed our brunch here! The staff is so friendly, the restaurant decorated so nicely and the food was a nice surprise! We typically don't enjoy brunch or breakfast out anymore but this made us want to start going again!My daughter and I are vegetarian so we were a little limited on choices but decided on the egg in a hole which was AMAZING! And she got regular fries while my husband got waffle whatever you do get waffle fries. They are amazzzzzzing! We also enjoyed a slice of lemon meringue because they were all out of apple. The only thing I did notice is that if we can after brunch we wouldn't have many main course options as vegetarians. They should add an impossible or beyond patty (plant based meat) so the burgers can be made vegetarian!

We went Saturday afternoon around 1 Pm & restaurant wasn't too busy. Our server took our order, forgot to bring our soups out. Then brought out our lunch & dropped all the toppings of my sandwich on my lap and the floor. After a few minutes, I noticed all of the drinks (all 5) at the table were completely empty. I had to stop the hostess to get refills. Seeing as how the restaurant was pretty empty I won't be back. I don't understand why the service was so bad when the restaurant was pretty empty.

I was a little hesitant about this place because the photos and the decorations were a lot but I actually really did enjoy this place! The menus are in actual books and I thought that was super cute! My boyfriend and I were both in the mood for sandwiches apparently so he got the triple club sandwich and fries, and I got the chicken and rice soup with a Turkey sandwich (soupandwich). My only complaint about my order was that the sandwich with the soupandwich is super small. It's just a half sandwich, which I expected but the soup was filling and really creamy! We got the mimosa flights and didn't expect much from it, but they were strong and really tasty. Def would come back! Street parking and there's a small lot across the street!

The food was fabulous, the service is wonderful because someone with the knowledge of a former server is in charge now.This is the reason I gave a 4, the new owner hasn't had much time to redecorate the interior. She told me it's in the works. I never cared for the dusty, cluttered dining room, it made my allergies act up. I'm looking forward to the new look and can't wait to back.

We had a family reunion this past week and went to Windhill for our last meal together before family members started departing. We had reservation for 20 and it was the best experience! We all raved about it. The ambiance is nice and relaxing. The food was absolutely delish! And the service....well, the service was truly stellar! Our server, Allison, is top tier and handled both large tables like a bistro for two. Everything was on point...from ordering to clean up and everything in between. Thank you Allison! Thank you Windhill! We'll definitely be back to indulge in your wonderful place!

It's changed drastically since I last visited a year ago. They took away the charm, no more menus in old books and all the funky quirky decor is gone. Seems like they changed owners or something, just not as great as I remember but the food was still pretty good.

Today we decided to have brunch. It was pleasantly busy, the wait was only about 10 minutes. The updates to the interior were very nice and look very FRESH. The menu additions looked deliciously INTRIGUING. I ordered the Florentine crêpes- chicken, fresh spinach, Swiss cheese, onions, mushrooms, and hollandaise sauce. When my order arrived, WOW, I was blown away by the HUGE serving size and the taste was outstanding. I also ordered a side of Turkey sausage patties which were also very flavorful. I will definitely be ordering this again!! Mom ordered the Western Skillet- ham, green pepper, onions, and cheddar cheese mixed with hash-browns and a side of toast. She said "I liked it!". We also both enjoyed their signature coffee! As usual, they have the seasonal decor up, which is always a great time and very fun!!! I will definitely be making this a consistent stop for brunch. I mean, who has a flight of waffles, like how delicious does that sound? Yummmmm!!I liked the menu before but I'm a foodie and now I really want to try about 10 things that really caught my eye like the Bang Bang Shrimp Eggs Benedict! Definitely go check it out! They have a Friday Fish Fry too that I never knew about! Today was a great day!!
