Windfields Restaurant

My family really enjoy coming in quiet often to this restaurant. The little Greek lady Maria is such a wonderful waitress, she goes out and beyond serving us. Absolutely wonderful, every-time we come in we very satisfied with huge smiles on faces. I Definitely recommend this place because of this beautiful soul.

Just finished having lunch with my colleagues and I have to say that the food and service was superb. Huge portions for fair price. I had rack of lamb and it was very tender and delicious. Suzzy was our server. She was fast, kind and always had a big smile. This is my 3rd time there and I plan on celebrating my child's birthday there next month.

My family and I went to Windfields for Father's Day and it was the perfect family restaurant for the occasion. I ordered Atlantic salmon fillet which was fresh and very tasty. My daughter ordered a large chicken souvlaki dinner which came with roast potatoes rice and an amazing Greek salad. My son had a clubhouse with fresh real turkey, my husband ordered above AAA prime beef which he couldn't stop raving about. the portion sizes were huge everything was cooked to perfection the atmosphere and service was 10 out of 10 it was an excellent experience can't wait to go back!

Going to this place is like diving into a time warp - faded decor, stale carpets, cane & walker dependent clientele.  It's not meant to be insulting or ageist but upon entrance to the restaurant it feels like living a relic of history back a few decades ago.

At the same time I was told from independent sources that it's a family owned business that manages to hang in over decades in sea changes. I have also heard good reviews about this place thru word of mouth in accidentally and unexpected contexts. I have also accompanied older folks on a few occasions here when this place remains their favourite one.

During those occasions - I think the food is competent at a competitive price point. Service is excellent without being intrusive. Overflow parking available at the back is a bonus but generally not a problem in the area anyway. If one can get over its retirement home ambiance (which I managed to - if food is the main item of consideration) I think Windfield's punches above its weight.

The garlic bread was decent - and on the house -- but you can order more -- essentially all you can eat. I thought that was quite generous. And I find that bread more than adequate and have no complaints vs other finer restaurants around the area.  I have tried their NY steak as well as roast beef. The NY steak that I order is often made/defaulted more Chicago style and medium rare and which I appreciate.  I have had the roast beef on one occasion which was overcooked and without hesitation the waitress got one for me another piece which was medium to medium rare.  I was told by my party however that pork chops have been consistently overcooked and on the tough side and dry. Fries were just mass-produced frozen fries. The drink menu is limited but not restrictive but given the venue never expected this to be a wine cellar. Desserts are on par with better establishments based on feedback and having tried it thought were decent.  

In the end it's competent niche, and offers a wide selection of comfort food for a tailored demographic. The nit-pickings described certainly are not fatal. If only a background lullaby were in play this could be escape heaven - a non-chic inner sanctum within an increasing busy and frantic Toronto that could put even the most serious diner to snooze.

Had a great New Years!. I have been coming to Windfields since I was little girl and I am happy that it is still around so that I can now bring my young children. I had a wonderful prime rib dinner and they did not charge extra because it was NYE. My children were still able to order off the kid's menu and they even let my husband have all day breakfast at night during the busiest time of year. It just showed us that this restaurant truly cares for their customers with still large and tasteful portions
We had a great time and would tell anyone that this family run restaurant is worth visiting!

My 85 year old father had a heart attack while eating at this restaurant. The family acted fast and saved my dads life and I wanted to thank them because we are from another province and did not get the chance. I wish your business and family all the Heath and success. We hope to come back and eat there soon And give all of you. Huh for saving my dad. Thank you from the Patterson family
