Great food. Salad greens, especially Caesar may have been a bit not fresh-fresh. Main courses outstanding. Service excellent.

We have never had a bad meal here. Love the energy and atmosphere of the place - nothing pretentious about the staff or the food. Highly recommended the amazingly thin and crispy eggplant and zucchini “Da Capo” chips. Delicious chicken parm, pasta bolognese and other Italian dishes. But best of all is the pizza and the seasoned pork chop. Decent bar atmosphere, which, admittedly, is right next to the dining area. But it's additional seating and nothing wild.

We were a party of nine. Each person chose their own favorite from the menu and everyone raved about their meal. Service was great also! For some it was their first time at Windsor Steak and Seafood and they were surprised that they had not read about how great a restaurant it is. They all said they would dine here again! Thanks go to the chef and server. Great experience!
