“ I've been for dinner a few times and always enjoyed it, but thought brunch was actually better. Perfectly crispy bacon, excellent blueberry bread pudding, the banana pancakes were delicious, and everything felt and tasted fresh (especially the horseradish for the oysters). ”
“ Amazing late 1800's building. Decor was rustic and the food and cocktails were very good. We had brunch and their oysters were fantastic and shucked to perfection. Sercice was great and the bar was great. A must visit, and be sure to visit Island Creek raw bar as well right near by. You will not be disappointed. ”
“ This place far exceeded my expectations. We sat on the patio and not only was it a gorgeous evening, our server was the sweetest and the food...phenomenal. Really. If you want an amazing meal and not to leave feeling overstuffed but perfectly satiated, order the following (to share between 2): Razor clams Pork belly clam chowder Grilled tuna Windsor fries (with the caviar bump) Mary Alisa's dank chocolate cake Vanilla panna cotta Okay maybe one dessert would have been better but we just couldn't choose. Oh and for cocktails, highly recommend: Figment of Imagination (with mezcal instead of tequila) Mezcal margarita (not on menu, just ask) Not a single thing was mediocre. If I were forced to choose between desserts, choose the chocolate cake. I'm not a big chocolate person but for whatever reason, my favorite cake is chocolate with white ice cream. It was pure heaven. Amazing. Again, this meal far exceeded my expectations. And they weren't low! Also, our server, Izzy, was just the sweetest. Loved her! Oh yeah, we did actually have a frozen cocktail and a dozen oysters at the raw oyster bar across the street as well. ”
“ A favorite of our family! We love the Winsor House. Food is outstanding. Charming and a wonderful time! Highly recommend. ”
“ Had an outstanding meal here back in November - our family live locally and insisted we visit, and I’m so glad they did! Everything from the oyster menu was super fresh and a great way to appreciate the variations between different varieties. Service was friendly, cocktails were delicious, and the Windsor Fries (cooked in tallow and served with a delicious garlic mayo) are genuinely the best fries I have ever eaten. Can’t wait to go back! ”
“ This is such a wonderful restaurant! Great location, restaurant set in a beautiful old home, great service and amazing food! Brunch is always incredible as is dinner. If you don’t want an interesting menu or to pay the service charge for the many hard-working employees, don’t go here. If you want uniquely created cocktails and food in a cool setting, this is your place. We love it here! ”
“ We can’t wait to go back! These were some of the best oysters and the burrata toast is amazing. The house is just that, it’s cozy, warm, with really unique touches that make you feel like you’re in someone’s home but it’s not too loud. This place is also steeped in sustainability and respecting the ingredients. The GM, Christine, could have talked about oysters forever and was so hospitable. We absolutely loved dinner and can’t wait to return! ”
“ From start to finish, a really lovely experience. The waitress was super attentive and gave us great tips about the raw oysters. All were delicious. We also got the park house rolls (SO good with the seaweed butter), king Caesar (yummy, but with only 3 fried oysters), fish and chips (awesome that it was a whole fish), and the grilled tuna (beautifully done). They also have a nice beer and wine list. Only wish we lived nearby so we could visit regularly. I don't understand why people complain about prices - it's local and sustainable seafood, you need to pay more for it. ”
