Be careful about this place… we were given a VERY hard time about ordering their advertised Thursday $ 9.99 sandwich special. The server claimed that it was no longer being offered. I had to escalate the issue to the manager explaining that it was still on their web site(and still is). Only after I threatened to report the false advertising did they begrudgingly honor the deal. A very unpleasant start to the evening. Then… half the beers we tried to order were not available.

Super yummy food and great service. Love it and that’s why it has been given five stars. Great pub for a night out with family and friends. We will be back and recommend you give it a try mate.

Wing night at the Windsor Rose! 35 cent wings(with the purchase of a beverage). My family and I decide to order(for ourselves) 20 wings, Bruschetta bread, Pickle spears and 2 beers. For our son, he settled on a Calzone and ice tea. When the meal arrived my wife and I ordered an additional beer each. Nearing the end of the meal we ask the server for a take out container so we can take the remaining few wings with us. It’s at this time that the server disclosed to us that we can’t take the wings with us. Upon our request the server brings the manager to us so we may voice our concerns to her. The unprofessionalism that we were met with was unbelievable. It’s clear that at no point in time has this individual ever been tutored in customer relations. Not only did she completely ignore our points, she did so by continuously attempting to talk over us. This manager would definitely benefit by attending a customer service course and in turn the restaurant will also benefit by her participation. Not our first visit, but because of this one incident my family and I will never step foot in this restaurant again. Those of you who entertain the idea of visiting this establishment… do yourselves a favour and«read the fine print».

What can you say about the Windsor Rose? Pretty typical pub fare, I’ve never sent anything back to the kitchen. Would like to see more bread free(not just salads… Salads are for wussies) options on the menu. The service staff are ‘extremely’ friendly… or at least the hands of the female servers don’t rest that high on my thigh at other pubs. Even the male bartenders will flirt with the girls(and guys depending on their mood), once in a while. The little higher than average drink prices help keep the D-Bags(you know… the flat-brimmed hat worn sideways types) away. The regular barfly riff-raff are a classy bunch with perpetual grins, deep bellied chuckles, with a witty sense of humour. Great place for happy hour!

I like this pub because it is pretty close to our place and it has a great beer selection. I haven’t had a problem with the food and I’ve been for brunch on Sunday and had appys. They weren’t anything special but passable as pub food goes. They have a couple of nice patios in the summer.

When it first opened, I was not taken with the Windsor Rose. There were a lot of kinks in the menu, and there were a lot of areas for improvement, particularly for someone who didn’t eat a lick of meat. Back then there was literally nothing vegetarian on the menu. The menu itself has undergone some really positive changes. For one, the breakfast/brunch menu for Saturday/Sunday is actually quite good. Their version of eggs benedict is awesome, and I really really love the vanilla french toast. As a bonus they bring the syrup out in little jam jars which always elicits an «aww» from me. They really are cute. The dinner menu, in my opinion, could still use a little work, but it’s come a long way since the Windsor Rose opened. Again, I can’t speak to their wings or their ribs as I don’t eat either, but they’ve expanded the menu again and the Mediterranean Salad is actually quite good – it contains roasted vegetables and goat cheese(which really, makes anything more delicious). Overall, I think it’s a place that will get better with time and will continue to improve.

Very nice looking pub but meal was a disappointment. 2 of us had the Thursday special of «all you can eat» pork ribs … Not very tender and taste not the best i’ve had. Others in party had the ceasar salad(stale) and scallop app(worst scallops ever), the other in group had the pork sammy which she enjoyed. Beer and drinks were good a server was good. Will stick to beer and maybe the steak sandwich next time.

Beautiful place. Mediocre food. Wings were almost inedible. Steak sandwich was ‘meh’. No coolers? Weird.

Wonderful pub. The décor is wonderful, and the room is broken up into smaller sections for a more intimate feel. The menu is small, but has quite a lot of interesting choices. I’m looking forward to going back and trying a few more. I had the steak sandwich, which was a bit overdone, but still tasty. I didn’t have to pay extra to substitute my fries for a salad. FYI: They take credit, but not debit.

I have now been to this gastro pub 3 times now… and I LOVE it! Everytime we have gone in we eat something different. I so far have yet to be dissapointed. We have had the same server three times, which we mentally noted after Tuesday her name is Amanda. She has managed to remember what we drink for the first time we have come in. Last time we were unable to finish our meals and she wrapped our takeout in tinfoil and shaped it into a swan(a nice added touch). Its great to have some where close to home that offers quality food and service in a welcoming enviroment. We have found our new home away form home!
