KIN Windsor has never disappointed me. Food is always delicious, true to the description and usually handled with care. Pros: If eating in, food is always perfect temperature, tasty and comes out exactly as described. Cons: If ordering for delivery, packaging could be a better. Arrives somewhat soggy and not as good as ordering from dine in. Staff is always very helpful and patient. Kids are always treated like family which is a huge bonus for me personally. If your visiting from out of town, I would highly suggest you give this spot a try for dine in as this is what Windsor has to offer to make you feel at home! read more

Service was amazing and of course the food was top-notch We had the buratta, deviled eggs, Ceaser, Arancini, and Cacio Pepe. All delicious!! The waitress was great and the busser was very on top of it. Highly recommend. read more

Came here for a birthday celebration, and we left celebrating life in general! This is a go-to for us in Windsor, and the day was great for patio dining as well. The ambiance is casual, and the service was great to throw some tables together for our large group without advance notice. Our server was Heather, and she took great care of us the whole meal, which lasted almost three hours! Never a rush for a birthday party. For food, we always have our favorites here: the wedge salads (whole and half!) and, for appetizers, the Frickles, Kin wings, and calamari. We also had some other great dishes, such as the YBC burger (Certified Angus Beef patty, sharp cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, on a toasted brioche bun), the Dip (Thin sliced, slow-roasted top round, melted Grand Cru Gruyere cheese, smoked horseradish cream, toasted hoagie, garlic au jus), and a Michelangelo (two 4oz burger patties, American cheese, house aioli, house-made pickles, lemon pepper bacon and onion jam, crispy potato strings, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted brioche bun) - truly a masterpiece! I also grabbed two pizzas to take home: the Mac Daddy and the Smokehouse. Their mac n' cheese as an entree is great too, but not this visit! We tried some adult beverages as well, and the margaritas this visit were a disappointment - very bitter. The Mai Tais were amazing, by comparison, and soon several of us found a new beverage to enjoy. All the food was great, and the Frickles were well-fried and hot, but not greasy at all. The wedge salads are substantial, so a half for us is usually enough as an entree when taken with all the appetizers. And again, Heather was a great server for our needy group! Thank you! Looking forward to the next road trip to Windsor. read more

We had a wonderful lunch at KIN. They have many different kinds of dishes to choose from. There were special appetizers, salads, sandwiches and pizza. We got a couple different salads, 2 different types of pizza and the Pear & Brie sandwich. They have good good! All were super yummy! read more

Always really good! The food, the staff, the decor. It's all great. We love this place. The Mac daddy pizza is horrifying to look at but everything from the bacon to the crust will knock your socks off! I love the pears on the side of the salads. They're wonderful. It's an upscale bar with a nice patio and lots of real wood. read more

In the area for work and was treated to KIN by colleagues for lunch. This gem was recommended highly by locals and I can see why. We were seated right away and drink orders were taken timely. The table ordered shareable fried pickles and Brussel sprouts for appetizers. Both were crispy and seasoned well. Sprouts can have a bitter aftertaste if done incorrectly but Kin's were crispy yet tender inside. It was dressed with bacon and grated Parmesan. I ordered the Chicken Pesto sandwich. I would have loved a much thinner bread for the sandwich or it being panini style. My only pickle about this sandwich was the bread top was too thick and the chicken got lost in the sandwich. A stronger basil flavor in the pesto would have also done the sandwich justice. Overall, seems a good spot for lunch and dinner. read more

French dip to split for lunch was excellent. Service was friendly and fast. Love the ambiance. Split pea soup was good. It wasn't quite hot enough it was just warm. Definitely will come back. They have a lovely small patio and nice decor inside Full bar! Lots of wine and beer to choose from. Cheers! read more

Love this place so much! Best food ever!!! Nicole is an amazing waitress and super sweet. We always look forward to seeing her and all the other great staff. Plus the yummy food. read more

We stopped in for a late lunch. We were met and greeted right away at the door, offered a choice of indoor or outdoor seating and immediately sat. We picked outdoor because it was a nice afternoon. I got a draft beer, great draft selection. My wife got a white wine that she liked a lot. I decided to try their fried chicken sandwich. It was a BIG piece of chicken that was perfectly prepared and very tasty! My wife got a veggie/pear sandwich on focaccia. She liked it, but took off half the bread, as she thought it didn't need so much bread. But she still liked it and would order again on a different bread. The service and atmosphere was great. We saw that they have an amazing looking happy hour which we are looking forward to stopping back in to check out first hand. read more

Burgers are awesome, but on this warm day we went light and healthy. We went with The Wedge Salad. All was crisp and fresh and we felt like we did something healthy and delicious for ourselves, but then we thought to ourselves, "who are we kidding? ". Order up some fried calamari... cooked to perfection. Most places have their oil heat to low, cook it too long and you end up with vreaded rubberbands. Not here! Staff is always happy to see you and check on you casually without hovering . Atmosphere is relaxed with just touch of sophistication. Definitely on our rotating roster. read more

Nicole is the BEST server by far. My bestie and I go to Kin once a month and not only is she an epic bartender but as a server she is friendly and gives the best recommendations. The food she recommended ; the pork and shrimp soba noodles and they did not disappoint! She remembered our bar order and made sure we were satisfied . She is friendly and so positive. I enjoyed her honest approach to customer service. We will come again and again and ask for her! read more

We frequently visit Kin, maybe every other week. Tonight the persons who sat us was very unpleasant, look at her watch, rolled her eyes, tossed the silverware on the table. Fortunately the waitress was very friendly and had a smile on her face. When you're greeted by an unpleasant person, it's hard to forget that impression. On a Thursday night after a town green concert figure it out, you will have people in later than usual. read more

Went for lunch recently and it wasn't the best time. Service was extremely slow and food was just ok. Nothing wowed us for the price! Maybe it was an off day idk read more

We stopped into Kin on the Windsor Town Green and, even though it was a full house, sitting at the bar ended up being the best decision. My boyfriend and I wanted to try something different, and everything--from the cocktails to the salad and the main course was absolutely spectacular. The flavors were phenomenal and truly melted in your mouth! The bartender who took care of us was incredibly professional and made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance is casual but still gives an elevated, warm vibe. Definitely a must-try, and I'll absolutely be back! read more

Don't be a dummy like me if you go to Kin. Don't order a full Wedge Salad as it is beyond huge using a full half head of iceberg lettuce which is three times what I'm used to order the half wedge instead as it is still 1/4 of a head of iceberg and still bigger than most more expensive wedge salads out there in Sonoma County. It was indeed good though but unless you want to only eat salad, order their salads as halves. The half beet salad was also pronounce as good though my friend opined the dressing was a bit overdone so order it on the side. Kin is an interesting "all in one' place. As you enter on a Friday night, you are hit with a cacophonous sports bar feel in the echoey space. We were led through the first much quieter separated dining room, through the second and into the the third which is designed it seems for private large groups to reserve; the four of us sat next to a boisterous party of 7 couples seated at a long table arrangement. So the space was loud and the restaurant could use some sound deadening materials as the concrete floors reflect a lot of sound off the unadorned spaces. Kin can serve as s sports bar, a pizza joint or a burger joint though half of us wanted to try some of their more "fine dining" offerings; the Short Rib, recommended by the waitress, were very good as was the Shrimp and Polenta entree. Larger portions. The waitress steered my friend away from the fish tacos towards the burger when he asked which to order and he said it was good. I had the Roast Beef Dip and it was very good as were the garlic fries and though I didn't dip the sandwich in the large bowl of dip it did taste nice and savory without too much salt. The Frickles were the only appetizer we ordered to share and they were ok; perfect for bar food. So Kin has been wise to offer a lot of options to different customer tasted but be prepared for a loud space designed for the under 50 crowd though we are older. A good choice for many and if three or four of you want the same salad just order one and share; it will be plenty. I wish I had a photo of the aircraft carrier sized Wedge Salad I ordered but sadly no. read more

First time here, and it was amazing! My friend and I came for the first time, and it was the best food in town. We ordered the Brussels sprouts, roasted beet salad, and ribeye steak everything was absolutely delicious! The server was very nice and kind, and the environment was warm and welcoming. I'll definitely be coming back again. read more

Love this restaurant. Great food. Reasonable prices. Staff is awesome. The best server is SKY. She is fun, caring, efficient, and fun to chat and tell jokes with. She is employee of the year there. Thank you for a fun and great dining experience. read more

We stopped by for a late lunch and were impressed by both the service and the food. Everything was incredibly flavorful, especially the short ribs--which are on the bold, well-seasoned side. If you prefer milder flavors, you might want to skip them. The space itself is charming, thoughtfully decorated, and adds to the overall experience. read more

Must love salt to enjoy the food. Party of six, and everyone's food was overly salty. Food was tasty, but very salty and the service was great. read more

My partner and I arrived on a Friday afternoon for our 230 reservation. The server told us the host will seat us momentarily. Negative- the restaurant should've had more staff. Maybe a busser to assist the server. The server was busy but managed it well. Positive- we sat outside and it was a gorgeous day. We had a view of the downtown park and enjoyed the flora. Positive- the food was delicious and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the crab dip, calamari, tuna salad, and beet salad. The salads were the highlight, especially on such a hot day. The calamari was a tad salty but the batter was nice n light. The crab dip was good but you don't get any chunks of crab- it's been blended into the sauce. We had a sparkling and a mojito, and both were great. Would come back. Maybe they should have 1 more afternoon staff member tho. read more

I'm a solo diner and like to sit at the bar. Nicole is usually the bartender when I come in, she's awesome and I love chatting with her. Tonight I had great service from JC. I usually get the Tuscan Chicken or Shrimp and Polenta. Tonight I had the Bourbon Glazed Pork Chop and it was wonderful but the Tuscan Chicken has my heart.. Food is consistently good and I love that they serve half size salads so I can enjoy a salad before my dinner without it being too much. 10/10 recommend read more

Awesome sweet potato tots! Pizza is great Service was slow due to only having one waitress for the whole restaurant. Lovely interior with great ambiance. read more

We are local and try to support our local businesses which is why we held my son's engagement dinner at Kin. However we were quickly disappointed. For starters when ordering drinks most of the drinks were out of stock, basic drinks that all other restaurants always have in stock. We ordered our salads and entrees. Once again disappointed when we received our entrees before our salads. Steaks were ordered medium rare and medium but they were well done and overcooked, chicken was dry. We asked for extra pesto with our chicken instead received no pesto. We were never asked if we wanted another drink after our initial order. It was very obvious that our server was overloaded as we sparenly saw him and probably why we didnt get out salads in order before our entrees. It was an expensive dinner and a special occasion, it's unfortunate that the majority of our party left disappointed. read more

Went back again so wanted to update my previous review. Food is great, well made, good ingredients and great service. Drinks and chocolate cake are also amazing. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE! Everyone is so kind! The shrimp and polenta....dream about it. So yum! Creative cocktails. Tried the one with basil...it's interesting. Not sure I would order it again. Will be back as soon as possible. It's a drive for us. But such a special treat! read more

The resort we were staying at recommended Kin and customers got a free appetizer. The dishes we chose were excellent. We had the crab dip, hummus and split their specialty salad. All 3 were excellent. Their specialty salad was a great mix and very good, the hummus came with an olive tapenade that added more depth and the crab dip was great. The ambiance was classy, clean but not over done. The service was prompt and attentive. read more

The food was pretty good/okay. The service was amazing but the food wasn't the greatest. I do recommend Brussels sprouts because they were delicious. The entrees were decent, I ordered medium rare burger but it was cooked all the way. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday around 5pm. read more

Having never been there the first thing to be said is the mood of the patrons in this restaurant bar is a very friendly when you walk in. Nice decor. Homes of cleaning products in the air The people that work there (exception 1 gal buser/helper) did not omit happy workers. We were seated & offered water. Then nothing for at least 10 min. Not over the top busy. Ordered the YBC burger, nothing to write home about. And the second order was turkey sandwich which was ok with a lot of avocado (not disappointed in that) Might try again if in the area for the pizza read more

Food is always good, from a salad to a burger . Service is always friendly and attentive. Ambiance is casual and has the local feels

The food is very good but there is a waitress that speaks so loudly every time I go here that I won't be going back. You can't have a conversation because she is so loud. read more

Wow! My wife and I really enjoyed KIN. The food was amazing! We had a few appetizers the hummus was so flavorful. The calamari was fried perfectly and had a nice dipping sauce. My wife liked the beet salad and the juicy KIN burger I had was the best burger in the North Bay. We were seated in the bar area with numerous screens to watch your favorite sports. The ambiance was upscale casual. The service was friendly and accommodating. We'll definitely be back:) read more

We chose this restaurant for its vegetarian friendly menu and healthy options for omnivores. Our food was fresh, delicious, and the service was great. On a side note, as a new vegetarian, I was pleased to experience creativity and a rich, fulfilling meal. The cream of mushroom soup didn't look appetizing but it was so good that I wanted to lick my cup clean. And pairing pear with Brie and caramelized onions was genius. My husband was silent during his meal, his signal that the food was great! Side note: there are also some "less healthy" options made with wonderfully fresh ingredients if you are not calorie counting. Well done, KIN! read more

We came here for an early Mother's Day lunch. The restaurant is cute and very clean. Service was prompt. Appetizers came out within minutes of offering-piping hot wings and calamari---both didn't disappoint. The calamari was crispy and fresh. The wings were supe crispy. The truffle sauce was good as was the dipping sauce . The beet salad was good too. The Mac n cheese portion size was massive. I like the Smokey flavor: The pear sandwich was just ok. The onions overpowered the flavors of the Brie and the pear. The burger was really good, the patty was a tad salty but still really good. The locally made soda pop was hella good. The lemon lime tasted like sprite but you don't get that syrupy after taste. Overall great experience. Service was good, portions really big so the value is definitely good. read more

I dined alone and there were a couple of large parties that took up all of the staff attention, so I was mostly neglected. I ordered a pizza that took over 40 minutes to be delivered and it was served at room temperature. I asked for the manager and one of the servers came to the table and indicated that he was in charge. I immediately identified the problem. I was in another restaurant that falsely believed that they could provide quality food and service without a person present during service who is in charge with skin in the game. read more

Excellent food, drinks were good also. Service was friendly and quick. Atmosphere is just right for what I was expecting.
