    Late lunch
    Coori F.

    We came to Windward Tavern for a late lunch. The menu has a great selection, so we decided to give it a try. It's a sports bar located in the Publix shopping center on the corner, with a covered patio if you want to sit outside. Just an FYI they allow pets on the patio. I'm not a fan of that, as I don't believe dogs belong at restaurants, but that's another topic. The place was nice. When we arrived, there weren't many people there, so we were seated right away. We ordered, and our food came out quickly. The tuna sandwich on ciabatta was amazing it reminded me of a good-quality, real deli sandwich! My wife loved the grouper tacos and sweet potato fries. Our son finished all of his chicken quesadilla, so I'd say it passed the kid test. Everyone was friendly and helpful, the food was very good, and we'll definitely be back. Give Windward Tavern a try if you're in the area!

    We went on a Thursday night during TNF football and we sat at the bar and it was a blast. The bartender was very nice and always made sure we weee doing good! The ambiance at the place is very nice, feels like a high-end sports bar. The food is great as well, I got a burger and fries and it was very memorable!

    I'm pleasantly surprised with this place. I guess when I hear tavern, I'm just thinking fancy ish bar food that's either a hit or miss. But the experience was rather pleasant (thanks checking on us and the drink refills) with the food and service. Plus, the first time meeting the boss and a peer made it a good memory. I had the chicken corden bleu wrap from the special menu along with smashed red skin potatoes. The chicken corden bleu wrap was warm and had really good flavors from the chicken to the smoked ham. I rather liked how this wrap wasn't cold. It made the food taste better with the melted swiss and provolone cheeses melding everything nicely together. The smashed red skin potatoes were oh so divinely good. I'm sure there was loads of butter. But the skin on the potatoes really added nice textures and flavor. I really think this was the best I've every tasted!

    crispy grouper sandwich with slaw
    Amelia M.

    Great place for a group dinner! This was our 2nd visit and the calamari is a favorite! We ended up getting 2 orders. One order is a good sized appetizer to share but we loved it so much we needed a second helping. The calamari is crispy, tasty and not greasy with lemon and marinara sauce (I liked it but one person in our group found the marinara a bit too sweet). The artichoke spinach dip came with a big basket of tortilla chips - I liked that the chips were all corn yellow and I found using a fork helped to scoop the dip onto the chip. The bluepoint oysters were very good. The French onion soup is great but awkward to eat while everyone else is sharing the other apps. The coconut shrimp is good but the popcorn shrimp has no fried coating and is covered in a sweet sauce. Tavern salad was large, fresh and could definitely be made into a meal with an added protein. The entrees are ok. The crispy grouper sandwich is a good choice worth ordering again. The meatloaf is two large slices with mashed potatoes and gravy - I enjoyed it but found that there was not enough gravy for 2 slices. The miso salmon is covered in miso that was a little too sweet and the salmon was crispy the first time but not crispy the second time. We do wish they'd offer a higher cut of steak - the flat iron steak is priced to match the rest of the menu but is not the best and they do not serve baked potato. The service is attentive and friendly. We are definitely going back.

    We stopped here for a quick lunch and honestly, it was pretty good! Very laid back space. Service was quick and easy. Food was great. I got their Greek salad and it was delicious. My husband got the shrimp and he said that it was good! He usually get disappointed with fried seafood at taverns, but this one was probably one of the best out of the local taverns.

    The service is always perfect! The food was so good. I forgot to take pictures before--but we just love our neighborhood gem! Great live music in the bar area.

Not sure if there is an elevator to access Joes. We sat ourselves as there was no hostess. The music was very loud and quite an active place. I didn't mind the music being loud perhaps it brought in the festive evening of it being Nee Year's Eve. Although a bit hard to hear conversation but we managed. I loved all the decorations celebrating Christmas and New Year's Eve. Really done up inside the restaurant. There were lots of tables, very large bar and there is even a back side with a whole other room. Not sure if it's for larger parties or the general public as well. Didn't know about it until I walked through to check the restaurant out. We ordered Margaritas and for the price of $6.50 they were very good, can't complain. I shared a bbq bacon burger with my husband and it was delicious. We were asked how we wanted our meat cooked. The burger was large enough to share along with fries which were very good as well. I suppose they could have been a bit hotter for my liking. My daughter enjoyed their steak plate said it was cooked nicely and very tasty. Our son-in-law opted for chili hot dogs which came with two and fries. He too enjoyed them and didn't finish the two. It seemed like there were many regulars chit chatting with each other. They do have an outside dining area but it wasn't being manned that evening. Also have an outside smoking area accessible through the main dining room. The women's bathrooms were even decorated for the holidays which was fun!! The staff were friendly but we had many different servers which struck us funny. Definitely will return with our kids. Reading the menu items, it seems the food is fresh and made when ordered. Apparently the pizza dough is made fresh daily so I'd like to try it next time. The menu has many options to try.

The RFID-powered gaming tables make classics like Spades, Hearts, Uno, and Mafia feel surprisingly interactive, and the personalized video highlights afterward were a nice touch.
