Food was very good. Only downside was server kept colleague was trying to speak towards the end of our meal, just so she could clear the table. It was very rude. She never said excuse me or anything like that. Otherwise, everything was great.

Fantastic tavern in North Alpharetta. One of the very few places you can get good oysters in the area. The bartender, Marina, is the best. Great atmosphere, very inviting. Can be a good place to grab drinks with a friend or a romantic night out.

Windward set up for Friday on the patio was slightly chilly but with food service. We had a group of 8. The Oreo dessert was large for all to share. The group had fish and chips, wings, sandwiches, chicken parmesan and grilled chicken. The prices are reasonable. The food has decent flavors. They often has music and the music was decent this night.

Update:We decided to go again and give it another try with main dishes as opposed to their bar food and it was phenomenal! Stick w the main courses, their fish is to die for!Previous review:Great atmosphere and service! Food is well presented. Leaving 4 starts instead of 5 as we both felt the food could have a little more taste and wow factor to it! Would go back and try different dishes to see if it holds true across the board though!

Overpriced food. Food portion's are also a bit small. French fries, smaller portions and saturated, soggy, sitting for hours. Again, you do not get what's in the photos. Place used to be great, but experienced longer waits than usual this time. The rude owner suggested going to McDonalds....we did. Fine, went to McDonald's food was much better, more affordable and served quickly, superior lighting.This review is absolutely not a joke, but seeing the owner's unprofessional and sarcastic response....so this used to be 3 stars.* See owner's response.

We have been going here at least weekly for several years now. The most difficult thing about running a restaurant is maintaining consistency. This place is consistently good! The servers are awesome, the food is delicious, and you get a great value for the money spent. The bar is always full of locals. This is the “Cheers” of Alpharetta. I sometimes expect to see Cliff Clavin belly up to the bar for an afternoon cocktail. Keep up the good work!

Good spot, been here a half dozen times. Always treated well and only one menu item I didn't care for so far. But also some outstanding menu items and atmosphere in general. Just a few visits where you felt like an outsider unless you were a regular who had been around awhile. Just moved to this area, and it was noticable a couple times. Nothing rude or anything just noticed a locals vibe, bar area only. Don't hesitate though this place is great you won't be disappointed.

Great place for lunch . The service I have had here is outstanding and the food is pretty good but pricey. The bar is a cool setup but the clientele they attract are very snobish toward blue collar workers. I'd come back for lunch though!

This spot is great. The wait staff is attentive and the food is decently priced and very tasty. There are two sides all non smoking and one with bar Nd TVs. Their patio is nice and events work out great here as well. They have plenty of seating and ample parking. Go enjoy a close to home night out. Your deserve it.

This place has everything going for it. Great atmosphere a diverse menu that is well thought out with awesome ingredients. I probably had seven or eight different meals there in a really enjoyed each and every one of them every time. They offer a great late night music venue as well it gets the crowd jumping and people dancing.

Nice restaurant in Alpharetta area. Found it through Google maps, saw it had a 4.6 review in it so thought we'd give the place a try.My husband had the Cuban sandwich & fries. The sandwich was huge! It was also pretty good, my husband really liked it.I had the Turkey Club. It was ok, supposed to be on white bread, but came out on wheat instead. It also didn't have a lot of Mayo on the bread.Pricing was fair. Our 2 sandwiches,a glass of tea & a draft Bud Light only cost $29 before the tip.

Really fantastic service. Great lunch menu. Burgers are super as well as fish and chips.The side dishes are wonderful especially the grilled zucchini. Consistent service and quality. Please keep up what you are doing. Only suggestion: some type of uniform for waitress and waiters at lunch. Nothing wrong with jeans but it would just add a special touch.Thanks

This was our first time eating here, and it was definitely a good first impression! However, one member of our party got the chicken pot pie, and the filling was watery and not very seasoned. Besides that the fish tacos and meatloaf were excellent, and the service was great!

We started with some clam chowder, followed by some delicious burgers. Our server was very attentive, and the manager stopped by to check on us. Very enjoyable experience.
