| - We're big fans of Churn and Federal Pizza. I also like Postinos, but not as much as the other two.
Windsor has been a bit of a let down. We did dinner with friends here a few weeks ago, particularly this restaurant for the kids menu and our friends had 3 kids under 10. Good idea? Yes. Dinner for 8 was good and affordable. I purposefully ordered a slightly bland meal due to preparing for a half marathon later that week.
Cocktails are good. Apps are yummy. But goodness me, do not come here when it's actually busy. We had a group of 8 so we were able to get a reservation for dinner. All of that was fine and we finished with ice cream at Churn. It was a good night.
Brunch. NO. We arrived at 12:15. We're post church brunchers. We waited for 45 minutes to finally sit down, order a pitcher of pimms, and there was NO PIMMS in the pimms. It tasted like lemon juice. We asked to switch it out for a pitcher of beer (bad idea for this girl who doesn't really tolerate gluten). Then we ordered. Loaded chips, frittata for me, matador for husband, donuts to share. No donuts. How do you run out of donuts? Seriously? He comes back, no matador. So, we have bad pimms, no donuts, and no matador. All the food my husband was looking forward to, was a disappointment or unavailable.
My frittata was decent, husband's basic breakfast unappealing (I make a better basic than that) and the fruit cup saddening. It's summer -- where were the berries! Neither one of us was in the mood for beer so that didn't life our spirits.
Our lesson: don't go to brunch here. The most depressing thing was that we tried it because we enjoyed our last experience. And this experience we did not enjoy. We know of other places where it may not be as gourmet, but we're in and out quickly and always leave happy. What makes me really sad is that we probably won't return or recommend this restaurant. I can't really go back now that I had that experience. There are other places that haven't let me down, time after time.
