Prominence restaurant Windham N.Y. I decided to try this place on recommendation from friend. The porcini linguine was a huge disaster, very starchy from the first bite, no seasoning, extremely oily.simple spaghetti and meatballs were dried no sauce, pasta was starchy . I complained to wait staff .The grilled pork chop was ordered medium well, we sent back to kitchen 4 times it kept returning rare, first of all why does it take 4 try to grill meat the last time I received the cook sliced the meat to grill. That is unacceptable, now a simple pasta dish garlic and oil with shrimp had no taste,this time my wife asked to speak to the cook/ manager she told the cook the pasta was extremely bland the cook explained they don't cook with salt because customers complain, he took my dish back to add seasoning, first of all if you don't boil pasta in salted water from the beginning of cooking process there no way to correct ,so the pasta returns to me still no salt or pepper ( simple ingredients) he used chili pepper to add seasoning, first of all it was chili pepper, the pasta was still bland with chili pepper layer because it wasn't cooked from the beginning with salted water etc now you learn this simple method in culinary school. Extremely disappointed with the food and service,the cook never came back to find out if everything was okay. This is poor business especially for Windham,I had to also get my replacement fork and knife which was on a back table behind me because wait staff was careless and didn't pay attention to detail etc I'm flabbergasted, tonight wasted 180$ on meal that was inedible, tonight was a total miss. There are plenty of wonderful restaurants that take pride in their product and care about their customers. I'm not sure why this restaurant chooses to show this light.

An absolute 10!! Best espresso martinis I’ve ever had!! Stuffed branzino was amazing! The atmosphere was relaxed and chill and very comfortable. And the Lindsey’s are the BEST bartenders in not only the state, but the world!! We came to prominence two nights in a row, we couldn’t wait to come back!!

The owner Miguel and his assistant Diane are simply the best in every way. They helped us from start to finish for our daughter's wedding. We had our welcome lunch at the restaurant-180 people. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and the space was just perfect. They tried to accommodate us in every way that they could. They even helped me find a last minute stretch limo. They also hosted our Sunday wedding brunch (before the wedding) at our airbnb. Everything again was delicious so beautifuly setup. They are very professional but also personable. I highly recommend Prominence Restaurant for any occasion. They aim to satisfy the customer at a higher level. They have exceeded our expectations and we are so happy we chose them for our special occasion. We could not have asked for anything more. Now when we visit Windham we know exactly where to go for delicious food and a friendly smile. Thank you Miguel, Diane and staff for an amazing experience ❤️

Nothing really had enough flavor. My penne was sitting in pasta water, not olive oil, and I could not coax any flavor from the hunks of garlic.
The chicken parmigiana my husband had was also a bust
This is a place that is perfect for the locals, but not for people who have experience eating in other food cities or internationally. My first issue is that it is not easily accessible for a handicapped person. My mother relies on a rolling walker. The parking lot is gravel and rocks, there is no handicapped parking. On top of that, upon leaving, someone parked right in front blocking access to the parking lot, so she had to walk much further over the gravel to get to where my dad picked her up. For myself, the decor and layout of the restaurant doesn't identify with steakhouse or Italian restaurant, but that is just my opinion. Start with the ordering...the 2 items I wanted (Grilled Calamari, and Vegetable Antipasto) were not available. We ordered Fried Calamari. Again, personal preference...it was hoping for more flavor and crispy, but it fell flat. The marinara didn't enhance it either. I shared the order of Chicken Parmesan with my wife. Huge plus...the servings are HUGE. However this was again a miss for me. I expect Chicken Parmesan to be a flavorful breaded and seasoned before being sautéed crispy. Then finished with light sauce and mozzarella. This was muddled, soggy, and smothered in sauce and cheese. I went to taste the side of penne pasta and it hit me immediately...the taste of rancid pasta that has been either old, or that wasn't cooled properly after cooking. I am in the industry and am well aware if this taste. I decided to inform the server, just to make them aware. My dad tried it and he agreed something was off, so it wasn't just me. I received no apology, no manager came out to address anything. Had they done so, I would have not even bothered writing this review. My wife ordered Tiramisu for dessert. Again fell flat. Coffee flavor was muddled and absolutely no alcohol detected. A huge letdown, and blown opportunity, to finish the meal. Again, locals seem to love this place and think the food is amazing. I personally didn't get that experience.

Honestly? This is by far the best restaurant, not just in Windham, but in my opinion, on all the mountain tops, one of the best I’ve been to in my entire life of 73 years. The passion of your face, the camaraderie between the staff, every bite becoming a sensation , the beauties behind the bar, the partners that know how to satisfy and welcome each and every customer. The personalization, the friendliness, the professionalism and the snark. The comfort of home - with food that’s even better …. The best addition to Windham - (in this old ladies personal opinion).  To find a restaurant that even the locals frequent, with a regular following, it’s not only the food, it’s not only your passionate smile, it’s not only the Lindseys, it’s not only anything, it’s everything ~ all wrapped into one beautiful PROMINENCE . Thank you. Thank you for coming here. It’s is family.
