We've enjoyed several delicious dinners here recently. The staff was kind and expert; the pace was as swift as we wished; the food was imaginative and excellent. We love the Winds.

So...I hate to say it, but my husband and I are big foodies and were very underwhelmed with this place. We were starving when we went and there was a long wait for the restaurant we wanted to go to, so we took a chance here. I agree with one review, the front door is hard to find.
I got the charcuterie plate to start since we were so hungry. The plate contained a few bundles of meats, no cheeses, one long cracker and a few nuts/singular fruits. For $20 it is so overpriced and not even that good.
Then my husband got a burger and I got the pumpkin and autumn squash lasagna. He said his burger was decent, but my lasanga was far too sweet. It wasn't awful, but the flavor just wasn't great. And the side salad that came with it was just a pile of greens with no dressing.
I got a potato soup as well, which was probably the best thing I had. But it was very watery and not warm enough.
For the $85 after tip that we spent here, we were super disappointed. And still hungry! I wound up getting a personal pizza for $10 down the street just so I felt good enough to walk around Yellow Springs.
It's sad, because the place it beautiful and the staff are so nice! I hope they get a better menu soon.

Burger was average. Atmosphere was excellent. The servers themselves were very nice but service was painfully slow even though the place was almost empty. Seats were uncomfortably hard. Bring your own seat cushion.

I had the small plate lamb rib chops, a house salad with lemon gorgonzola dressing and a pavlova with fresh berries and kiwi. Everything was delicious.

Okay okay so there are some pros and cons. I loved the waitress and the host, they were awesome. I think the portion sizes are much too small for the prices for most of the things we got…HOWEVER everything we got was delicious (except the insane cracker that came with the charcuterie board that I could have cracked a tooth on). The new fall menu was available, and we got some delicious small and large plate items. The pricing is why service gets 3 stars - has nothing to do with the employees! Oddly the front door was hard to find…the first door we tried was just a staircase. Don’t open that one. That’s not it.

This restaurant has definitely seen better days. The service was unbelievably slow, and the food simply wasn’t good. Maybe it was a great spot at one point, but right now the quality doesn’t come close to justifying the prices. Honestly, you’d be better off skipping this place altogether and grabbing a pizza instead.

The best restaurant in town! Great wine & food. Its best to make reservations on the weekend to avoid long wait times.

This was described to us as the best restaurant in Yellow Springs, but we were completely underwhelmed. The atmosphere is a bit sleepy (even on a Saturday evening for dinner), but that could've been excused if the food was good. The bread service barely comes with enough butter to lightly coat the bread. The Caesar salad and fried green tomatoes were just okay. The burger was awful - truly the worst burger I've ever tasted, and I couldn't take more than two bites of it. We let the server know that we didn't enjoy the burger, and she didn't even ask if we wanted to order anything else. We ate a second dinner later at the taco truck outside of our hotel which was much better and much less costly.
Just not it. The burger we had was pretentious, way too many flavors and seasonings at once. It was hard as a rock despite being pink throughout. The gem Caesar had clearly brown lettuce. We told the waitress about the food and she made no effort to make anything right. Won’t be back.

Really expected more from this place. Beer ordered before food, came after the food. Fritatta was burnt on the bottom, and bland... Same with the Croque... Bland. Sandwich was warm / hot... Fries were cold and undercooked. Server didn't stop by to check on us, until we were pretty much done. I tried to express displeasure... It was ignored.

Lunch with a friend on a Saturday was disappointing. The place was empty and the staff was very friendly. I ordered the Organic Sandwich which had no taste and the accompanying salad was like eating straight out of a bag of field greens. My companion ordered the Summer Croque Monsieur and commented it was good for a toasted ham and cheese. All this took a rather long time to be served but the waiter was attentive and pleasant. I would love to say my opinion is more a reflection of Winds brunch past with creamy mushroom gravy on buttery biscuits, eggs and omelets, hot and cheesy, wonderful fresh fruit and pastries, and fluffy pancakes with fruit competes and local butter. But as someone who ordered on that beautiful Saturday, which should have filled that patio...it was mediocre at best and not a meal to bring me back. Next time, I'll join the crowd at Ye Old Tavern on their bustling patio....

My husband and I and our friends ate on the patio on a beautiful fall evening. First, the food was excellent. I had 2 small plates: pigs & figs and a house salad. Absolutely delicious! And my husband and our friends had equally high opinions of their dinners. And the wine! - just perfect. Our waiter Alston was amazing. He rattled off an impressive list of wines (his French pronunciation was very good), and he was as well versed in the menu items. Alston - you rule! Thank you for contributing to a lovely evening.
