   Overall good experience. It was a busy night. We had a 8:45 rsvp but didn’t get seated until 9:15. Tried to get a drink at bar. Was passed over 3 times… took about 20 minutes to get a drink and my wife had to go up and get it. Dinner was good, but very slow to come out. We sat at 9:15 and didn’t get out until 11:30… only 2 of us.. the food was superb as always. But the experience at the beginning was a turn off especially at the prices + 8% service fee. Service should be better….

   Great Valentine's Day meal! We look forward to the tasting menu every year! Last night was exceptional with very unique flavors. We loved the scallop ceviche and the lamb over polenta with salsa verde was fantastic! Can't wait for next Vday!

   We love the Winsor House! We bring our friends here often and introduce them to the place. Wonderful menu, great servers and usually excellent service. Last night we sat at the bar and we saw another patrons order was confused and late. And then following that our order was confused and late. It was a Wednesday night and the place wasn’t very full. It was hard to explain why the service was so poor. Will be back again, but I’m not sure if I’d bring friends next time. It could prove embarrassing.

   This is the second time we’ve come to brunch here and have had the best meal and time! Can’t recommend this place enough.

   The area of the restaurant we sat in (nearest the parking lot) was a bit chilly - my kids kept their jackets on the whole. Oysters were delicious. Service was excellent.

   The place is wonderful and we are so lucky to have it in our backyard. The staff are professionals that understand how to treat guests.

   We went on a Saturday night, and while it was busy, there wasn't a wait. Drinks were delicious, as were the oysters and roasted chicken dinner. A bit pricey, but a good experience overall.

    Best meal we've had in a while. Our starters were delicious: Crispy broccoli, burrata toast and the beet salad. The main courses: Steak Frites and the Grilled Chicken were most savory to say the least.
