Are we still in Ohio?
This place brings back major Spanish vibes and the food and service is top notch.

If you don’t head here when you’re in town, you’re making a HUGE mistake!

Always a fabulous fine dining experience, excellent food and service and featuring local art. What's not to love?

Such a beautiful location especially if you are eating outside. We had the hamburger and the crab cake crepe. The fry chips were made specifically that way however the crisp felt overcooked and the parsley chunks didn’t add much flavor. Burger was good. The crab cake crepe was a great concept but lacked a distinct flavor and it felt like the creme sauce overpowered the dish. The size was also very small and I’m a 1-2 slices of pizza kinda eater. Service was the real special part of the evening as our waiter was friendly and attentive.

We had a great experience. The food was exceptional. Kudos to Roland and the crew, had the small bites of lamb, shrimp, and green tomatoes. Been to many fine dining restaurants all over, this rates with the best. Highly recommended!

We stopped in for appetizers and drinks before a show. It is nicely decorated, and has a European vibe. The drinks
were great! The service was very slow, and I’m glad we didn’t order entrées. The appetizers were disappointing—$7 for bread, a cheese plate that hardly had any cheese and just four almonds, and fried green tomatoes that were just “meh.”

Even our water was warm, and we rarely saw our waitress.

We’re no strangers to paying for quality meals, but in my opinion, this was not worth the value (150$. I will not return next time I am in town.

Service and drink presentation was exceptional. The food was mediocre to awful across the board. Just really bad. Especially relative to the price.

They have a couple of vegan options. I had a hearty bean and vegetable stew which was good but got monotonous halfway through. The crostinis were tasty but overpriced. I enjoyed my cocktail, which actually had dried flowrrs embedded in the hugecube of ice. The server and host were caring and wanted to make m experience the best possible. I dined alone for lunch and was abl to rake in the lovely, quiet surroundings, with artwork on the walls!

It took 25 mins to get our drinks. Can’t say the food was bad as they never managed to bring us any.

Absolutely amazing food service and atmosphere. Just as good if not better than some of the places I’ve eaten at in Columbus such a charming little place. Their patio Reminds me of eating in a Charming New England town. All missing is the ocean haha. I Highly recommend Winds!

My family enjoyed a dinner on the patio over the July 4th holiday weekend. It was a nice atmosphere with a breeze to help keep us cool. We tried 2 appetizers, salads, 2 entrees and 4 desserts! All the items were delicious. The service was great and our server was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu.

While the atmosphere was quite nice, the food portions were just laughable. I ordered the $40 Steak Frites, which was within the ‘Large Plate’ section. Foolish me thought there may be a good amount of food considering it is $40 dollars, but to my shock, the capitalistic forces of this liberal hippy town were working against me to discourage my consumption of steak. It was even more jarring to realize that the $20 Samuel Son Burger that my partner ordered was nearly twice the quantity. It’s as if the prices of the two items should have been swapped. In my fury and unfulfilled hunger, I went to Young’s Jersey Dairy (only 5 minutes away from here), and was surprised that I was able to get something quite better and more fulfilling for a quarter of the price. Save your money.

Food was pretty good, my only criticism is that the food took very long for a veggie sandwich and fries. We were there for two hours in total. I would definitely go back and would love to try the dinner menu.

The Winds is definitely a place to go for a wonderful, delicious lunch. The food is so fresh, and even the bread is made in house. The desserts are to die for. Wish they sold a recipe book that included the peach desert that is currently on the menu. The servers are beautiful people! It is my favorite restaurant.
