    Sirloin with Oscar Style toppings
    Gabby T.

    Husband and I decided to take a weekend trip to Wenatchee and luckily, we found this GEM!!! To start off, the restaurant is literally a Windmill which is so cool! Then, as soon as we stepped inside, everyone was so nice and welcoming. I got the Sirloin with the Oscar Style toppings and let me tell you, it was cooked perfectly!! Plus, the sides that came with it, especially the salad and baked potato, felt like entrees and were so delicious. My husband got Steakhouse Burger and of course enjoyed every single bite of it! On top of everything, Janelle was an exceptional server!! She had great recommendations on what to order when we were trying to decide and ensured that we were enjoying our meal. We truly enjoyed our chats with her and we cannot wait to come back again for the overall experience of this wonderful place!!

    Starting with the service. Spot on. Libby was attentive quick to bring out appetites which was mushrooms and olive bread. Then house salad one ranch one blue cheese Then we opted for the mill ribeyes baked potato and vegetables

    Prime rib with baked potato
    Sean H.

    Visiting for the weekend and found this place having 4 stars. Leah was a great server and the restaurant was very charming. Dinner salad was very good and fresh m. I had the prime rib but the quality was more like choice. Baked potato and the garlic mushrooms were Awesome. My wife had the ribeye and hers was more like choice beef also. Not very tender. Long story short, would have done better if the meat was tender. Had no problems with anything but the meat quality.

    From the outside this place looks VERY unassuming. You might not even think it's a restaurant.

    OVERALL: 9.1/10 (Yelp Converted Score: 4.55/5). I came here with a big-ish group (we had a reservation for 8 people, that took up the entire back area of the restaurant, with tables pushed together and all); it was just a walk down the road from where our hotel was, but they seemed like they had a lot of parking nearby (even on the side streets), so that's a positive. Verdict: Definitely worth a visit if you're in the neighbourhood. If you live in Wenatchee, this might be "the place to go" to celebrate milestones! 1) VARIETY/SELECTION: 8.5/10. The menu is one really long page, with five choices of appetizer, five choices of salad/soup (with chicken or prawns as the protein add-on choices), five choices of steak (seven choices of steak toppers), two pasta options, and seven "signature dishes". The menu can definitely accommodate vegetarians, but this place definitely has a lot of seafood options (especially in the signature section). 2) FRESHNESS: 8.5/10. For the main, I ordered an oscar style steak topper on the 12oz ribeye steak with a baked potato, and my partner ordered the salmon with fries. I was VERY impressed with the steak - they cooked it to a perfect medium rare, but the "toppers" increase the level of flavour in the steak that definitely adds to the overall meal. My partner liked the salmon, but she felt it was a bit salty and slightly overcooked. My partner tried the windmill caesar salad, which was decent, but she didn't react anything more than her usual, so it wasn't a standout. The appetizers -- prawn cocktail was not much to write home about (the prawns were not that big), but the pesto clams, calamari (slightly overpriced), and sauteed mushrooms were all very delicious and memorable. The PIES. The homemade key lime pie slice was DIVINE. We ordered all of them, but that one still remains burned into my memory as part of my "dessert hall of fame". I really hope this one gets entered into pie competitions - it's probably in the running to win! 3) VALUE FOR MONEY: 9.5/10. For a group of 8, we ordered a bottle of wine, appetizers, (everyone ordered one) main, and one of every dessert on the menu. They did not include a service charge (which was surprising), but even with a decent sized tip (20%) and tax, the total came out to be $550 (or ~$69 per person). You might think that's a lot (for a low-cost-of-living area, it probably would be), but for folks that are used to Seattle prices, this was a MASSIVE bargain versus what you'd end up paying in the big cities. When you consider the fact that we all had appetizers, shared a bottle of wine, ordered our own entree, and shared literally every dessert pie on the menu, this is really reasonable. I do give it a bit of a mark down because of the appetizer and salad price versus the size (calamari in particular). These are not "failings", but things to keep in mind if you find yourself in the area and wand to try this place. 4) SERVICE: 10/10. Our server was extremely patient, got ALL of our orders right (eight orders to keep track of is hard for anyone, even if you write it all down), and was attentive and helpful whenever we had questions or needed anything. They even came by and asked if we needed anything during the meal, even though it was getting to be more crowded as the night wore on. Also, I mentioned my peanut allergy, but there were no issues anywhere in the meal. I think there were other nuts (almonds? pecans?), but nothing to be concerned about. 5) CONSISTENCY / FIRST IMPRESSION: 9/10. We did have a reservation, but I cannot stress this enough, this place is NOT THAT BIG, so being able to accommodate even a medium-sized group would be quite the feat. This place handled it in stride, and I'm confident when I say this place could probably even handle group sizes of 10-12. The only reason I mark this down slightly is because of how the table spacing works. This could be a function of the restaurant floorplan, but it seemed like the tables were generally really close together, which is... hard to fathom in COVID times. If they only seat "every other table", this is probably fine, but it's worth pointing out to anyone who may have concerns.

    Pepper style sirloin, loaded baked potato and fresh veggies!!!

    A must stop when visiting Wenatchee! Amazing service, food, and ambiance! The secret tho is to get one of their homemade cream pies! I've had the raspberry and coconut and they are both amazing!!!

    a plate of fried chicken in tin foil

    Food was sub par. But honestly in my opinion it's a rip off price wise. Got the crispy chicken for my pasta and it's about a 1/3 of a breast for $14. I would save my money and skip this place 9/10 times

    Delicious wine with my steak

    The steaks had no flavor, no seasoning and very tough meat. Not up to the standards we were used to.

    It's alright, but for Wenatchees food scene it's above average. Can seem a bit cramped in there at times.

    The store itself feels very sterile and robotic. If the employees weren't there, it could…read moredefinitely be run as an Amazon-esque self-service cookie store. There is NO seating for those waiting for their orders. A bench would be nice, at the very least. The employees have you quality check them before accepting the order, which is considerate. I wonder what happens to any rejected cookies... The cookies themselves are much too sweet. The toppings are SO sugary, and I like sweets. If they were smaller, they would be bearable. I ordered four, two "chilled"- note that chilled just means they were refrigerated, so their filling wouldn't be runny. Cold frosting tends to feel fudgier that way. The Oatmeal Mallow (chilled) were slightly larger than the Caramel Apple and did not taste of marshmallow at all, the only prominent flavor was cream cheese. The apple would have been better sliced instead of diced. The CA were underbaked in the middles and I did feel a tad sick later in the day. The caramel used is also thicker than you'd expect. For the price of almost $5 per individual cookie and $15ish for four, I'd skip them. It's a novelty cookie and not the "best" as claimed. They are good, but I won't be buying them again nor recommending them to others. A note on their kiosk layout: I disliked the lack of privacy. Everyone behind you can see your phone number, name, and email if you choose to enter them at the counters. Kinda unsettling.

    We ordered a 12 pack of mini cookies for $40 and opened the box to find only 10 cookies in there…read more We paid for 12, not 10. How hard is it to count to 12?
