From the moment we walked in the ambiance was outstanding, the server welcomed us with a great smile, AMAZING delicious fresh food! The chefs A+, clean environment... Best choice for breakfast, a rewarding decision!
Very relaxing atmosphere. Nicely remodeled and very clean. Ordered the steak sandwich and not only was it good but the steak was huge! Put the size of the bun to shame. And ohhhhh those garlic fries! Bravo, Windmill, bravo!
While in business in the Monterey-Salinas, CA area, I decided to stop by a place one of my colleagues had told me about, The Windmill Restaurant. Adjacent to the Motel 6 in Soledad, CA, right off of Hwy 101, the front of house, service and food here I found to be superb. Despite having daily specials in front of me, I opted for a freshly tossed green salad and for lunch I dined on the Chicken scallopini which was divine. Ice cold beer on tap, and delicious local wine(Monterey county is known as growing one of the best grapes around for wine), and a superb selection of freshly made berry and apple pies! Give this wonderful establishment a try if you happen to be driving through! Enjoy!
We came upon this delightful restaurant purely by chance. We are so glad we tried it out. The manager explained the type and style of steaks and how it ought to be cooked and it encouraged me to try a steak without asking for it to be well done. First time in my life. It was cooked just right and oh so perfect. For the charge of the dinner, the plates are huge. Good variety to choose from and some nice cocktails as well. It made our special dinner, quite special. Will be back again for sure!
Stopped here on our way to Santa Barbara. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They made a custom pasta for me based on my description which was delicious, and the veggie burger was pretty good too! Decently priced and generous portions. Service was top notch! Will definitely stop by here in the future if in the area. Another plus for us- the Tesla supercharger is just a 2 min walk!
Stopped in on Sunday lunch time. The place was buzzing! Good atmosphere. I had the huevos rancheras which was great and the service was fantastic. I don't know if I ever gave a place five stars before!
Placed a takeout order tonight.... the staff was super friendly, we told them we were gluten free so they gave us some options. We had the half rack of ribs with a baked potato and a house special burger for our son (who's not gf) Those Ribs were AMAZING! Tender and flavorful, our sons burger was huge and he got garlic fries. He said it was really great and fell in love with the fries 🙌🙌
My husband's windmill chicken sandwich was absolutely amazing! I got Bella's Pasta, which would have been amazing if it wasn't room temperature. Honestly, the experience was a 3 or 4 star rating to me, but my husband told me to do 5 stars because he loved his meal so much. The reason why I wanted to give a lower score was because our waitress disappeared. Someone else ended up bussing our table and I was waiting for a long time to order the raspberry cheesecake (which is really good). Another waitress came and asked if we needed anything and normally I would say no because someone else is waiting on us and I didn't want to add to her responsibilities, but I was still hungry and really wanted my dessert. Good thing I didn't wait because our waitress never came back. Also, while we waited to pay for the check, we ended up giving up and walking to the front to pay. I made sure to have my wallet out so they didn't think we were dining and dashing, but the moment we got close to the front a different waitress said, "Are you ready to close out?" Um... yes. For awhile now. Also, while we were dining in, another table of patrons was speaking down to the male server. This has nothing to do with the restaurant, but I felt bad for the guy and it just makes me so irritated when people treat people so crappy when they are just trying to serve you.
What a surprise for a weary traveler to find this gem along the roadside. Really exceeded my expections. I can see why this place is so busy. Because the food, service, and atmosphere are all wonderful. Look forward to dinning here again. And the staff is wholly committed to making the visit go well. I really enjoyed everyones company while there.
We were very impressed not only with the service (thank you Evelyn), but the food was exceptional. We both got the specials. Mine was the lemon rosemary chicken with veggies and garlic mashed potatoes. Unbelievably good. The chicken was well infused with lemon and rosemary and was moist and juicy. Husband had New York strip and shrimp with veggies, a large baked potato, French bread a side salad. All were delicious. Be sure to save room for dessert as the vanilla ice cream is very vanilla. The peach pie was quite good.
