“Good Food, Poor Service”

Have gone to Windows for over 10 years. 10 years ago both food and service @ Windows were terrific. Understand that in SLO County in general service tends towards unprofessional compared to LA/SF. Just lots of turnover. Went there for my wife's Birthday. The food was very good, Rib-eye cooked as ordered and a good steak. The only thing I'd... more

As a local we eat at Windows rather frequently; at least once a month. One problem with Windows is the inconsistency of the food. I have had the sand dabs on three different occassions and each time they are cooked slightly different. Another issue is when I am served a plate that has been either sat under a warming light... more

We were celebrating my Dad's 89th Birthday and wanted everything to be perfect! We had asked several locals in the area to suggest the best restaurant. Although the persons who recommended "Windows on the Water" had never eaten there, they had heard that the food etc. was great. We showed up at 6:30 and asked for a table by a... more

4/5 found this review helpful

We weren't expecting this to be a great meal because the person at our hotel had steered us away from this restaurant (sent us to Dorn's instead -- which was mediocre). WOW the food here is excellent! The service was excellent too. We were interested in a wine that was just listed as Turley White Coat -- the waitress went... more

It's amazing a restaurant with excellent food, a comprehensive wine list ,elegant decor and situated in such a beautiful location is afflicted with an abundance of poorly trained waitstaff. To celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary, we booked a reservation for dinner at 7:00 pm on a Saturday evening. Upon arrival, the hostess was unable to immediately locate our reservation.
