Winds Cafe

Coen is the best serve we have ever had. Dude recommended the app, entree, wine, and dessert. Went 4/4 with recommendations. Always a great experience here. The duck was amazing. We will be back.

Okay okay so there are some pros and cons. I loved the waitress and the host, they were awesome. I think the portion sizes are much too small for the prices for most of the things we got…HOWEVER everything we got was delicious (except the insane cracker that came with the charcuterie board that I could have cracked a tooth on). The new fall menu was available, and we got some delicious small and large plate items. The pricing is why service gets 3 stars - has nothing to do with the employees! Oddly the front door was hard to find…the first door we tried was just a staircase. Don’t open that one. That’s not it.

This is, in a way, a place that is home for me for the past few decades. Tonight I shared a lovely dinner with friends for Valentine's Day as a celebration of life for our departed mutual life friend. The service was wonderful, the town just as amazing as it was in the 90's, and the food absolutely lovely. The Winds Cafe is an Ohio treasure of creative cuisine with a very human touch. Thank you, for all these moments.

We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before a show. It is nicely decorated, and has a European vibe. The drinks were great! The service was very slow, and I’m glad we didn’t order entrées. The appetizers were disappointing—$7 for bread, a cheese plate that hardly had any cheese and just four almonds, and fried green tomatoes that were just “meh.” Even our water was warm, and we rarely saw our waitress. We’re no strangers to paying for quality meals, but in my opinion, this was not worth the value (150$. I will not return next time I am in town.

My husband and I were running errands and walked by the restaurant. It was time for lunch so we decided to give it a try, even though we were underdressed for a sit down lunch at the time. I am so glad we did. The food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional. We each had the Beaune Burger and when I say that was the best burger (with pickled vegetables as a side), I truly mean that. The flavor was absolutely incredible and it was cooked perfectly. We will definitely return.
