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.

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!

I ordered the kale Cobb salad and it was delicious. My mom had the shrimp and polenta and that was also yummy! We went here to celebrate my Mom's birthday and we had a great time.

Kin was a good experience, not exceptional, but I take it as a place that is consistently good and there's nothing wrong with that . We were a party of 12 and we were able to make a reservation in which they put us in the back where it was semi private and we were the only customers in there. Everything looked amazing on the menu and on Yelp so it was difficult to decide. Luckily my family let me try some of their things so here's everything I tried. KIN BURGER: this is what I ordered and I was not disappointed. I ordered it without cheese and with the sauce on the side and I imagine if you got it as is it'd be much better than my version. The bacon was my favorite part, it was crunchy and flavorful and the burger was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The sweet potato toes were VERY good and the perfect balance of sweet and salty AHI SALAD: this looked amazing, but the flavor was underwhelming FRUIT CRUMBLE (LEMON BLUEBERRY): this was actually really good, especially with the scoop of vanilla on top BAKED HOT CHOCOLATE: so my step sister admitted that this is the reason she comes to this place so we ordered 4 to share among the table. I immediately felt overwhelmed with chocolate and all though I thought it was too much I kept going back for more lol, I think I would have preferred vanilla Icecream on the side to balance the deep chocolate flavor CINNAMON SUGAR CHURROS: this was honestly my favorite dessert and I had no intention of trying it but there was leftover so I went for it. I chose to dip it in raspberry sauce since I already had so much chocolate. The sauce was yummy but the churro was nice and warm and gooey on the inside. It probably was undercooked but I loved it lol COSMO: I drank some of my step mom's blood orange cosmo and it was really bitter and citrusy , not my fav but not bad. Overall we had a good experience. We were able to have our own space to be as loud as we wanted and we hung out for a bit after and they did not rush us to leave which was very kind. The staff was also extremely sweet and patient with us.

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.

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:)

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!

Cute downtown Windsor wine country restaurant with a nice garden for outdoor seating. Sister restaurant nearby. Started with unique fresh fried sticks of calamari- I'd never seen "sticks" before - think zucchini sticks. They were delicious with a tangy dipping sauce. Personal $17 shinebox spicy brick oven pizza with sausage, pepperoni and jalapeño was a 9 out of 10. The bigger pie is too big for one person. Fish tacos $22 - very fresh and accompanied by lots of flour taco vegetables to mix in. Wedge salad was perfectly made with creamy dressing and just the right amount of bacon. The star of the show was the off the hooks shrimp and polenta with creamy texture and snappy shrimp. Huge portion for $26. We split it. La Creama wine, craft beers and a nice Margarita rounded out the meal. Our server Genesis did a great job, but she needs some help and was a bit short handed for a weekday. Highly recommended.

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.
