Windrose Marker 26 Lakeside Dining

We had an amazing evening celebrating my friend's birthday. Sally provided outstanding service, helping us with menu selections and recommendations. I loved my salmon and the s'more dessert was delicious and unique.

I was at Margaritaville last weekend with my family. We met there because it is a central point for all of us in Missouri. This is the second year we had dinner at Windrose. It wasn’t great the first time, but we decided to give it another try.

I secured reservations for 6:45pm for 8 people. My sister in law is in a wheelchair because she is battling terminal cancer. We had to sit outside, which was lovely.

We ordered appetizers and our dinner. The appetizers came out in a reasonable time, but dinner was not served for over an hour. My sister in law had to leave before she could eat because she didn’t have the energy to keep waiting. The server never provided an explanation about the delay. There wasn’t an apology. She just dumped the food on our table and left.

The food was okay, but didn’t match the cost or the wait. We probably won’t go there again when we visit next year.

This was my first and last time going to this restaurant. My girlfriends and I were celebrating a birthday. There were 14 of us. They gave us one waitress. It took more than an hour and a half to receive bread at our table. We were told that it was common to wait this long for our meals. One of our friends had found a long piece of hair in her food. We informed the waitress. The manager came and started that no one in the kitchen didn’t have black hair. She never apologized for incident. She accused of of putting the hair in the meal to avoid having to pay for our meals We were angry that she would think that. She began raising her voice to another person in our party. She told we needed to pay for meals and get out. She also threatened to have us thrown out of our hotel.
The manager was very unprofessional and didn’t know how to mediate the problem. Please retrain your managers in customer service and respect!

Our experience at Windrose Marker 26 Lakeside dining at Margaritaville was absolutely unacceptable. We had a party of 15 and waited over 2 hours for our meals. The manager finally came out after an hour wait and said the wait time was of 1.5 hrs was normal. Then she returned after the 2hr mark and said its normal on a busy night (which it was not busy) to wait 2 hrs or more. When the food finally came out, one plate had hair in it, and the food itself was cold. Instead of apologizing or attempting to make things right, the manager was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. She told us to just pay our bills and leave, then went as far as to call security and threaten to have us removed from the resort.

The level of disrespect and lack of customer service was shocking. Dining out is supposed to be enjoyable, but this manager’s attitude and behavior completely ruined our experience. If you value good service, quality food, and basic respect as a customer, I would not recommend this place.

Loren (MANAGER)was TERRIBLE!!! Took 2 hours to get our food. Food was luke warm upon arrival, and hair was found in one of the dishes. When it was brought to the Managers attention. She accused us of putting the hair in the food. Next thing we know, a team of security officers came standing around our table. Then she rushed us to pay our bills.

Food and drinks absolutely amazing. Wife and I split the lobster roll and short rib tacos. Amazing. Burrata for an appetizer, best I've had and the wife gets it everywhere that has it. Both of us had a martini and had a very very tough time not having another round.
