Have gotten salads here twice...the price for their salad is too high for what you get:
pile of greens and very little else...nothing that justifies the amount they charge. While everything is good and fresh, when I order a certain salad, I expect to receive a salad with toppings that reflect the price I paid for it.

I should have known it was going to be a total show when I got my drink. I ordered an espresso martini, it was watery complete with ice cubes floating on top and absolutely no foam. Who makes them like that?! Then we get our app, calamari. It came with this parm that didn’t melt on top and 1/3 of the app was these crumbly squid bits. We asked our waitress about it and the chef said there was nothing he could do as it was all weighed out. So I guess you just get what you get, including the bottom of the bag crumbles. After that we started looking up reviews and kinda knew dinner was going to suck. Our pizza was beyond floppy in the middle. They need to pay Dave portnoy to stay away lol. Then the crab Mac and cheese was not as described. It’s a smashed crab cake over a not super cheesy bisque pasta. We hardly ate it and left all of it. Based on how the calamari was handled we knew how the rest would go. Waste of money. Save it and go somewhere people care about customers and food. Shame.

My daughter took me here for my birthday this week. She's been here before since Cafe del Sol took over, but I hadn't been since it was Red, Hot and Blue. Can I say I miss the Elvis? Anyways, it's very nicely done with wood booths and tables. The table tops are stainless and I was attracted to them, although they were a bit slippery. While the place was busy, the noise didn't seem too bad.
We got a table right away and loved the high chair that had its own table top even though it was much shorter than our table. There is a kids menu that was recited by the server and she put my granddaughter's order in right away.
My granddaughter got some delicious chicken tenders, but she wasn't a fan of the seasoned french fries (a kid's review). I ordered from the Pick 3 lunch menu. The chicken pesto half sandwich was spot on. I had a wonderful crab and shrimp bisque as my first side. The second side was some really tasty sweet potato waffle fries. My daughter had a chicken sandwich with a side of homemade potato chips. They were a little randomly seasoned but when you hit that part they were really good. In general, the food is in well-sized portions, seasoned to just the right degree, and came out quickly. There is a drink menu but it's not that extensive and the bar is small.
Service seemed to take care of the bullet points but otherwise was mostly absent. This wasn't just our table but seemed to be the same for most of the servers. They brought food out and took orders but then disappeared. Having children at the table, I wanted a little more attention. But she was cheerful and did what was needed. The hostess took care of wiping tables, something that I thought the servers had plenty of time to do.
I really like this place and plan to make another visit to explore the menu. It could be a great place to catch up with an old friend or share a meal on date night.

The server was excellent and very friendly, making it a pleasure to talk to her. She has beautiful blue hair. I wish I could remember her name. The food was absolutely perfect, and there was hardly any wait time. It’s honestly one of the best places to eat, and I couldn’t have asked for more. Since this was my first visit, I’m already looking forward to coming back!

First time eating here. Stopped while traveling through the Winchester area. It is just off of I81. The salads we had were really fresh and tasty. The soup was really good also. Good atmosphere and the cost very reasonable. Our server Cambree was extremely friendly and courteous. Would definately eat here again.

Our family had a Rehearsal dinner at Cafe Del Sol last night (Friday night). The staff and food was absolutely amazing! Their attention to each and every one of us was outstanding, personable and professional! All 15 of us were served our dinner at the same time with what seemed like a minimal wait time🥰Hands down the BEST dining experience I have had with a larger group! I want to thank Cafe Del Sol for accommodating us so warmly like family and their attention to detail and coordination.Our dinner was a great memory to add to this special occasion!
