I will start by saying that the "best fries ever" is no joke. Get them, you won't regret it. They are not only crispy, but so flavorful. This was my first time eating dinner here and I will say my harvest bowl does look beautiful, but I think it was lacking a flavor. My thought was they should serve it topped with some kind of crema...maybe a cilantro/avocado..I don't know. Just felt like a crema could really enhance the flavors. It was still extremely tasty. In general I love this place because their food is fresh and healthy. It's really hard to find that these days.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

Very under the radar spot, but probably not for the locals. Sat at the bar, but could have had a table. Great service and great food. Had the short rib and stroggy. Quite cozy and a nice place for a meet up, a date, or a family night out. Drinks were great as well. Will come back again and definitely recommended. You'll probably want a reservation though. 6 seats at the bar.

We were in town visiting family, and they made a dinner reservation for us at The Windmill Bistro. The restaurant has a charming and inviting atmosphere, blending rustic touches with a bit of modern flair. The spacious interior features a cozy fireplace, while the shaded outdoor garden is perfect for outdoor dining. Overall, it has a warm and welcoming feel. Our server, Kehu, was friendly and attentive, always ready with recommendations and checking in at just the right moments. They have a simple , one page menu but offers a nice variety of options. We ordered the following: Coconut Prawns with Sweet Chili – crisp, light, and straightforward. Harvest Bowl with Salmon – my dish; very healthy and hearty, but so filling I couldn’t finish it. Open-Faced Crab Melt – flavorful but a little too rich for my taste. Olive Roasted Chicken – my boyfriend’s choice, and he really enjoyed it. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. The Windmill Bistro feels like a small-town gem, serving fresh ingredients in a cozy, charming setting.
