Beware! Portions are huge! The beef dip was great. The crab dip (free appetizer deal from our timeshare) was also too much for two people. (Can you have too much crab? Yes you can!) if we had a larger party we would have enjoyed it even more. Pleasant server always keeping our drinks filled. read more

Really inconsistent drinks here. I had ordered the same thing three times and each time it came out differently, to the point where I had to send back my drink, which I never do. The food was OK and I felt like the service was a little slow. read more

The hospitality here was top notched. The hostess kept apologizing our table wasn't ready yet. The six of us eventually were seated at a table for eight. Of the six of us four ordered burgers, one ordered meatloaf sandwich, and one ordered the shrimp and polenta entree with a wedge salad. We ordered the calamari to start with. It came temperature hot. It had a great batter. It was strips of calamari. Very good. On this visit I had the Kin burger with garlic fries and a cola. The 1/2 lb burger was more than what I eat. Immediately I cut it in half knowing I was going to eat half only. I ordered medium well and it was cooked that way. Also choice of fries or tots. I went with garlic fries. The minced garlic cooled my fries. I'd probably skip that option next time. Everyone enjoyed what they had. We ended our meal sharing two desserts- the sticky chocolate pudding and the apple crumble with vanilla ice cream. Sarah our server was great. She was very attentive and gracious. We paid with three different credit cards. No big deal. When we left two other servers gave us friendly goodbyes. read more

First time here, was a spur of the moment dinner. Ordered a glass of Pinot noir (banshee) and that was a great start! Appetizers, we ordered fried pickles (my wife said these were best she has had) and we had Brussels sprouts, which had some nice bacon pieces and were cooked to perfection with a nice crispness. We ordered half salads (which is something a lot of restaurants do not offer, I got the Caesar and she got the wedge, my Caesar was perfect... loved it. I had the shrimp with polenta with a tomato cream sauce, I am not a big mushroom fan, but this meal was delicious, with a good amount of shrimp included. We will definitely be back to try some of the other offerings. I was too full so sis not get dessert, but they have a dessert that is a must try... looks like a s'more ... also want to try the Mac n cheese next time. Ambiance, great indoor searing, out door was misty, but I am sure that would also be nice. We will definitely be back for more! Our server was very attentive and helped with some of our choices, top notch service! read more

I love KIN! I've been here a handful of times and was more recently here this past Monday for happy hour with my grandma. They have such a great happy hour and every time I go I'm shocked that there aren't more people there for it. Their happy hour is M-F 3-5:30. We got the crab dip to share and iykyk. Their crab dip is SO good and I have to get it every time I come. I got the purist pizza (with a side of ranch of course) and my grandma got the chicken taquitos, each off the happy hour menu and we were both more than happy with our food and such a great value. I've also gotten the loaded focaccia off the happy hour menu and the frickles off the regular menu before and they're both delicious. The service is always fast and friendly here as well. Definitely recommend! read more

I've always loved all the food offered here but was pretty disappointed when I ordered a plate of 6 wings and 2 of them were not even half the size of the other wings-was surprised they even brought it out. The quality here is usually top notch and their pear and Brie salad is always my go-to. read more

We all really enjoyed the upscale yet casual atmosphere. The food was great! Both times I've gone, I've gotten bonus food from my table mates so I'm not sure if they have big portions or I'm just going with the signs people. Super friendly staff. We had no problem with parking although I have heard it can get hairy. I love a restaurant that leaves water at the table for you. They serve the little kids first if requested and that always helps make the kids happier. Love this place. read more

Not our first time here; not even fifth! But, although we can't keep track, it will not be the last time. Here with a small group for lunch, and we used the patio, which is well-decorated, shady, and a nice place to relax. We ordered a lot, but will focus on those items for which there are photos. For an appetizer, I ordered the hot crab dip (Dungeness crab, creamy sriracha & melted brie dip, served hot with toasted French bread), and the Frickles (tempura-battered dill pickles, dredged in panko breadcrumbs, served crispy with house-made ranch dressing). For entrees, there were Wedge salads (Two iceberg wedges, applewood smoked bacon, sliced pear, Pt. Reyes bleu cheese dressing, and two of these were half, and one full; Grilled chicken pesto sandwich (Grilled chicken breast, shredded lettuce, tomato, onion, melted mozzarella, pesto aioli, toasted telera bread); Roasted pear and Brie sandwich (Sliced roasted D'Anjou pears, caramelized onions, mixed greens dressed in balsamic vinaigrette, melted brie, toasted telera bread); and a crispy chicken sandwich (Panko Breaded chicken Breast, Hot Honey, Sesame Granny smith apple slaw, with Spicy Mayo on a toasted brioche bun). The Frickles are always popular, and if it weren't for the large size of the entrees and salads, I would have to order one of these just for myself! They were hot and not greasy, and the ranch side is tasty. The crab dip is also a favorite, accompanied by plenty of toasted bread to share with everyone. The sandwiches were all well-liked, and the one I had, the pear and brie, was amazing. I have had pears and brie in salads before, but on a sandwich, these two different and complementary flavors, along with the caramelized onions, are perfect. The light bread was good for this as well, as the focus was on the fillings. A new favorite for me. As for the salads, the "wedge" is not a small one! If you order the full wedge salad, you may be requesting a to-go box. Fair warning! There are plenty of toppings, and the dressing is amazingly rich. The service is always efficient and friendly, and Nicole H. continues ot uphold that standard. Looking forward to the next visit. read more

Wow! The food was scrumptious, and the presentation was top notch. And they cater to kids. It's a bit of a drive from the peninsula, but if you're headed north, I would recommend it. I had salmon with veggies and polenta, my wife had the shrimp also with polenta. The waitress was attentive and friendly. We didn't go inside so not sure of the atmosphere. read more

I've ordered wings here for takeout..very inconsistent... last night I ordered 2 orders of extra crispy truffalo wings... got wings:..,no truffalo.. no nothing!! We come here monthly from Arizona:.., lately have been disappointed!.. we stay at the WorldMark and never get a deal! Please make it right read more

We had a big dinner party on a Saturday night and our server Sophie was amazing. She took care of 30 of us. All our orders were correct, drinks were refilled promptly, and she had a great attitude the entire time. The truffalo wings were tasty. The salads were big and really good too. All the food we ordered were good. read more

"Happening" spot right downtown. (And perfect for Windsor's Summer Concert Series!) Great Happy Hour as well. The food is delicious and the service friendly. read more

This charming New American gastropub is nestled in a quaint downtown area with a very inviting ambiance. The nearby park is perfect for a leisurely stroll after your meal. The downtown layout reminds me of some other small teams I've visited in Northern California and it's just incredibly charming. I opted for the chicken curry soup and the fall risotto. I really enjoyed the soup. The portion of the fall risotto was unexpectedly large, which was a lot of bang for my buck. However, the risotto was a bit too heavy on the cream for me, so it wasn't really to my taste. I tried some of the rib eye steak and thought that was delicious. Other dishes my group ordered looked appetizing. I would recommend this restaurant if you're in the area. read more

Went here two nights in a row. Low key and tasty. Beet salad was special. Good beer selection.

This is one of the few restaurants open after 9pm on a Friday in Windsor and we had just checked in to our Airbnb looking for a place to eat. The restaurant was not too busy and the waitress sat us down in the back area. I was more hopeful that the food would be good looking at previous reviews and the menu. However, the food taste and quality did not measure up to my expectations. We had asked the waitress for recommendations and if certain dishes were good. For starters we had the Crab dip and Truffalo Wings (a spin on buffalo and truffle oil sauced wings). The wings honestly the best thing we ate here. The crab dip barely tasted like crab. I didn't see any chunks of crab. The cream cheese and sriracha overpowered it. I could have skipped this dish and ordered double wings instead. I ordered the Braised short Rib for entree. The description said red wine Demi-glacé, which sounded good. I was expecting a rich red sauce. The dish was more like a pot roast with brown gravy. Had I known it would come like that, I would not have ordered it. My partner said the fish tacos were ok. We told the waitress how we felt about the food and it was kind of shrugged off at first. Her statement was "that's how it comes, sorry." And walked away. She did however, wind up giving us a discount when she brought the check since we were not happy with the food. I would say that this time I was deceived by the Yelp Sort function. Had I sorted it by most recent I would have seen the food was not as good. I didn't have much time to dig around and investigate because we were limited on time to find something to eat. read more

What a great place! We made reservations for 6:15 and we arrived a couple minutes early. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our server, Heather was the BEST! She was friendly, and made us feel welcomed. She was super attentive and engaged with us. They also worked as teams; so so had some help from others. The food was also incredible. The Risotto was creamy and the Italian sausage added a nice taste. The wings (appetizer) were seasoned and cooked well and the chicken sandwich was cooked to perfection. It was lightly battered and juicy inside. The restaurant had a great vibe with plenty of seating and space. We highly recommend this place! read more

I had the pleasure of dining at KIN WINDSOR for the lunch recently. Located in the city of Windsor in a strip of businesses right across from a small grassy park area, perfect for a post or pre meal stroll. KIN has a Tuscan rustic gastro pub feel, ideal for any occasion, be it casual lunch or date night dinner. For my meal, I chose the Mac-Daddy Pizza with a side of ranch & Caesar Salad with added Grilled Shrimp. - The Caesar Salad had crisp romaine lettuce, crispy house made croutons, & perfectly grilled shrimp. Seasoning was flavorful. - The 'Mac-Daddy' Pizza had a crispy & slightly crunchy crust. Which I enjoyed! The paired texture, with the topping of cheesy-creamy corkscrew Mac'n'Cheese had me craving more with every bite. This dish is very rich, & I did order the smallest size, to which I only enjoyed half of the pizza. This pizza is a red sauce based pie & is topped with crumbled applewood smoked bacon. DROOL! What more could you ask for!? The combination of the two dishes were perfect for lunch. I order the smallest size & left with half of the pizza [dining solo]. I'd say perfect for sharing otherwise prepare to have left overs. I'd certainly come back as the food was well prepared & flavorful, the staff was great & made suggestions with a patience, friendly, attentive demeanor. Kudos to KIN WINDSOR read more

Came here on a Saturday for our wedding anniversary dinner date. Place was packed, very busy. We had a reservation, waited 5 minutes to be seated. Our server was polite and kind. We ordered fried calamari for appetizer, then the YBC burger with butternut squash soup and the Birria Bucatini. The calamari was delicious and squid tasted so fresh. The angus burger for the YBC was so soft, juicy and delicious. The butternut squash soup was so tasty. Giving it 2 stars because the Birria Bucatini was very salty. Tasted like someone was angry and poured a teaspoon of salt on it. Kind of destroyed our mood, because it was our anniversary date and we went there for the food. My husband didn't finish the food, we asked for hot sauce to fix the taste a bit but it was really too salty. I usually give high reviews unless something annoyed me and my tolerance is usually high. Casual dining, noise level was loud because the place was full. Street parking. read more

I love this restaurant, but they have done something to their pizzas that they should immediately undo. Their happy hour pizzas have gotten smaller and unappealing. Please change it back the way it was. read more

Since I live down the street, Kin is our go to place. My husband loves to go watch football at the bar and has made a few friends. I'm a vegetarian, the menu is limited but I like what I order. Their fries are the best ever, love the crispness. Their salads and soups are very good. The waitstaff have always been very friendly and check in to make sure we have everything we need. We always have a good experience at Kin. read more

I needed a stop for refueling with my pup on our road trip and found this gem. They have a nice little covered patio that we sat at. I had the Cobb salad and fries pickles...yum!

We have been going to Ken for a few years and enjoy ourselves every time! We love the dip and the pizza!

4.5 - A solid choice for dinner last night. We made reservations alon OpenTable on the same day just hours before with no issue and went to Windsor for the very first time. Our server Sky was fantastic (5/5 service) in being welcoming, fun, and informative. We ordered fish tacos and a burger (with an upgrade of garlic fries) and both were satisfying choices for our dinner. Happy with our meals, we ordered a hearth cooked classic pepperoni to go that was perfect for a later snack and leftover lunch. Would definitely come again. read more

Tasty and affordable lunch! Popped in for a quick bite after hiking nearby at Foothills Regional Park. It was my first time here - conveniently located in downtown Windsor across from the Town Green. The casual and warm bar & grille setting was perfect post-hike. The festively-decorated restaurant was busy the day after Christmas, with lots of families and folks sitting at the bar. The American comfort food menu includes various salads, sandwiches, burgers, and pizzas (including gluten-free), as well as beer and wine. Hungry from the hike but still full from all the holiday feasting, my friend and I both ordered salads...both the fried Brie, raspberry, and grilled chicken salad. My gluten-free/celiac friend can't eat panko-crusted Brie so added goat cheese instead. She got a craft Root Beer and I chose a Cola. The salads came out so quickly and we really enjoyed them. Fresh, hearty, and satisfying! Loved the red onion zing and the light coating of dressing. The fried Brie added a little crunch and a lot of oozy, cheesy deliciousness...life is all about balance, right?! And sharing! I took home half of the chicken from my salad and my pup loved it! Winner winner, chicken dinner (or lunch!)! read more

Have eaten here twice. Both times the customer service has been consistently good. Both times I have ordered the KIN Burger. The flavor and presentation has been consistent and uniform. The ambiance can get a little crazy when it's busy. Seating outdoors is nice even on a chilly evening with the heaters going. I will return to try other entrees but that KIN burger has been the best burger I've had in forever from a restaurant. read more

Nice, cozy restaurant. We were seated in a long booth. The service was nice and friendly. All the servers were nice and attentive, as they brought out all our entrees. I didn't pay attention to what the others chose as their entrees, only what I shared. FRIED BRIE & RASPBERRY: Baby spinach, candied almonds, fresh raspberries, red onion, cucumber, panko crusted fried Brie cheese, grilled chicken, and poppy seed vinaigrette. (5/5) This was a fresh and tasty salad. Who would have thought of fried brie cheese!?! My wife hardly ever gives praises about a salad. But she would definitely come back just for this salad! Y.B.C. BURGER: Certified Angus Beef patty, sharp cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, toasted brioche bun. (3/5) Decent burger. The patty was seasoned and cooked perfectly. FALL RISOTTO: Risotto tossed with diced and pureed butternut squash, Italian sausage, spinach, garlic, heavy cream, and sage. (4/5) This was creamy and delicious. Each bite reminded me of Fall. LOL. BRUSSELS SPROUTS: Fried to crisp, braised pancetta, grated parmesan. (3.5/5) Best way to eat Brussel sprouts. No pics - Boo. We were having such a good time with family that I forgot. read more

We happened upon KIN walking in Windsor. We were able to eat outside in a covered patio, it was very relaxing. My husband and I shared the most delicious Mac & Cheese and grilled pesto chicken sandwich. An added surprise were the tasty sweet potato tater tots. Are server, was super friendly. We will definitely be returning next time we are in Windsor!! read more

We always get take out here and the food is consistently delicious. The pesto chicken and dip sandwiches were perfect - the meat was melt in your mouth good on the dip, I didn't try the pesto chicken as I filled up on everything else, but everyone else said it was just as good as the rest of the food. Perfect bread that is chewy but not too soft or hard and isn't soggy even if it takes us a bit to get it home. Good portions of the Mac and cheese and Frickles, varied choice of things as sides for the sandwich was a huge bonus, and the ranch that came with the Frickles was clearly house-made and went perfectly with them. The thing that I always look forward to though is the fried Brie salad. Go for the extra Brie - it makes it. This is the only place I'll order a salad over everything else, but it's that good and more than enough no matter how hungry I am. We've ordered online and over the phone, staff are polite, friendly, and always get our special requests right (sauce on the side, food sensitivities). You won't find a better dinner consistently at this price. read more

Frickles were nicely battered, flavored and crispy. Bourbon pork chop was something creative in terms of recipe. It didn't win so much for me in terms of flavor and sauce, but the pork chop was nicely cooked. The dip meat was on the dry side. Couldn't taste the horseradish much. Au jus was a generous portion and definitely served well for dipping and helped with the dry meat. Roasted beet salad was good. It had a couple of green leafs that were a bit fading to the yellow side. Butternut squash soup was pleasant for soup. Chicken wings were on the dry side and a bit salty. Ranch and blue dressing helped with the dry and saltiness of it. Lasagna was on point. Mac 'n' cheese was of generous portion. Overall their dishes are solid bites. read more

We decided to come in and have lunch on Tuesday at 12pm. We were greeted by one of the servers. She brought over some bottled water and asked if we'd like anything else to drink. We never really got a proper introduction so I am not sure what her name was. I chose to go with the frickles and chicken sandwhich. My boyfriend chose the Mac n and cheese with a side of fries. The frickles came out quickly. They were fresh and tasty. The burger and mac and cheese came out shortly after that. The Mac and cheese was HUGE! The presentation was the only thing that was impressive. It was a little on the salty side and overall was not very good. The side of fries was small but typical. The chicken sandwich was very good. I was impressed with how good it was. The Granny Smith apple coleslaw that came on it was delicious. The one downside of the sandwich was the bread it came on, you must eat it quick so the bread doesn't get soggy. The chicken breast came panko crusted and was cooked perfectly. Now the restaurant setting itself is pretty big. The restaurant was clean. There was a bar to sit at as well with an okay size of liquor selection. Overall,the service was just okay. The server did offer a refill which is important but other than that she didn't spend much time at the table. She was running around everywhere and we kind of waited around for her to bring a box and our bill. It was not very busy either. The only thing that would bring me back would be the chicken sandwich. read more

While traveling through California, my boyfriend and two best friends stopped in at KIN in Windsor, and it was a fantastic experience! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing evening. It was a slow night, which only added to the cozy atmosphere. Our waitress was amazing--attentive, friendly, and made us feel right at home. We decided to order multiple appetizers and share them family style, and every dish was outstanding. The chicken taquitos were flavorful and perfectly crisp, the risotto was rich and creamy, the fried pickles were a crunchy delight, and the spinach artichoke dip was everything you want from a classic comfort dish. KIN delivered in every way--great food, excellent service, and a wonderful vibe. Whether you're a local or just passing through like we were, this is a spot you don't want to miss! read more

Our family absolutely loves Kin. We dine here regularly. You cannot go wrong! Our favorites are: pizza, burrata plate, hummus appetizer, caesar salad with chicken and the beet salad with chicken.

While staying at a timeshare with my Sis, we discovered this great spot for dinner in the town square. Since we can be snooty foodies at times, finding a good restaurant in a small town can be dicey. But we were pleasantly surprised by the quality/variety of their menu . We owe a lot to our waitress who let us sample several wines before deciding. She really took good care of us. We started with two types of chicken wings-- bbq and truffled infused -- both were excellent. We almost sampled some nice fried calamari that wasn't greasy. For an entree the short ribs with polenta was prepared well and very satisfying. Everyone on our enjoyed their meals-- including a hefty juicy burger with quality fries and a unique fried Brie salad with chicken- yum! Definitely worth checking out and hope you get Katie if you go - she's one of a kind. read more

We visit Windsor several times a year and, lately KIN each trip. It has grown into our favorite restaurant. This time it was a late lunch --- usually dinner. It was quieter this time. Appreciated. This time, we had the warm crab dip (huge and delicious) appetizer and two tasty 1/2 salads (beet and caesar). With our senior appetites, they were plenty large enough to stuff us, as the crab dip/bread almost did that alone. So good. I also had a draft 805, which is becoming my standard in all our visits to KIN so far. Our server was Emily, who was busy all over but took the time to converse with us. She was very friendly, so we got a fun picture with her. She took the time to help us find a different brew and helped us get the right appetizer (partially due to dietary issues). In addition, we had an extended talk with the owner as we sat on the bar side this time, as opposed to the back room. Delightful man. Pictures of him with supporters when he opened, in the back area on the way to the restrooms. Also, for everyone's treat, the back room has some colorful art pieces of renderings. The restaurant is family owned and right across from the large Town Green, where people-watching is a delight! We'll be back soon. Every dish we've had at KIN has been a hit and every server we've had the pleasure of working with has been friendly, welcoming and very good at their craft. We enjoy the welcoming atmosphere -- feels like home. read more
