Windjammer

My wife and I last night for the first time since COVID. We drove from Ottawa. We love this restaurant and have often diverted from our journey’s straight path East to NL to enjoy a meal here.We were worried it had changed and the absence of Frederick at the front door momentarily created concern.However, we were greeted warmly by the wait staff team and given one of those wonderful booths that took us back to so many other fantastic eveningsWe ordered the tasting menu which included the famous Caesar Salad prepared at your table. How would it be without the suave Frederick?Then along came Caleb: young, soft-spoken, confident, professional, comfortable. He created that wonderful salad that is so worth the drive. The rest of the meal, the experience, the staff, the ambiance were all amazing.The person responsible for selecting and training staff at the Windjammer should be cloned. We look forward to many more visits.

Amazing food. It's worth the price. Service is top notch, but not the quickest. Atmosphere is quiet and serene. The staff are well-trained and dedicated.

This was our first time visiting the Windjammer, even though my wife and I are both Moncton residents. I absolutely loved how tucked away and cozy it felt. The service was incredibly attentive, and the meal itself was wonderful fine dining experience.

This used to be my favourite restaurant in NB when I really wanted to be spoiled. I used to make the drive to eat here at least once a year.Under the guidance of the the long time maître D’ Frederick, it was amazing.He was not there, and this restaurant should not open without him!!The food was disappointing, burnt, and overdone and the service was even worse. Half an hour to get the beer menu and then no offer of drinks again till the end of the meal. No refills of bread even after they were requested,a glass of red wine ordered was never delivered. Chateaubriand was over cooked - steak was so thin on my son- in- laws plate it would have been impossible to get a sear and have it medium rare– of course it came well done. No one checked in to see how our food was. I can’t even begin to say how terrible it was! At the end of the meal it became so bad that it was almost comical when they came at the end of our meal and offered us ground pepper. For what? We were done.They had a 4 Diamond rating - that’s not going to remain If they keep delivering the quality of food and service

Quiet- no thumpa thumpa Euro-pop gangsta rap. Full service. Striploin ordered medium rare came out medium. Mushrooms tasted as if sauted in an unhappy oil. Caesar salad was fine - prepared table side so I eschewed egg. Nicely decorated though it lacks windows, which we didn't miss. Needs a couple more choices for all courses. Wines were well chosen though the mark-up in Canada is astounding. Comfortable seating.

One of my new personal favorite restaurants in Moncton. Firstly, the atmosphere is truly unique. The service is also quite remarkable and personnal, which is not something you see everyday. Secondly, many appetizers are included in the price, such as a variety of breads and butter. One appetizer that we ordered was the ceasar salad which was prepare right in front of us from scratch. The portions here are very generous, and everything on the menu is fresh so the quality really makes up for the few extra dollars you would have saved else where. Overall this restaurants makes for a very pleasant and memorable experience.

The first time I took my husband here, it was a great experience. However, we were in Moncton and wanted to take my sister and her husband and this time the experience was less than favourable. It took a very long time for anyone to take our order. I tried to order 2 different styles of sparkling but they were both out. I ordered my steak rare and it showed up well done. I sent it back, because that’s quite the difference and by the time it came out again the rest of the table was done eating. When the waitress set it down she said “here’s your medium rare steak”. I ate anyways since I did not want to have to wait for it to be remade a second time. I did not finish everything on my plate and they did not ask me if I wanted to take it. As a side note - nothing was compensated off the bill either (which normally I’m fine with, but I feel like the whole dining experience was a disaster and the restaurant did nothing to try and remedy the situation). I’m giving the restaurant 2 stars because the first experience was great, but I don’t think I would go back or recommend based on my most recent experience.

Great food and excellent service. The team caters to your every need. Fredric did our table service and he was awesome. Definitely a memorable experience.

Horrible service and little to no skill in the kitchen.The chef destroyed not 1 but 2 cuts of chateaubriand due to improper cooking. We ordered med-rare and the 2 attempts we were given were very far off. The servers were argumentative when questioned about the cook on them as well. They said that the internal temp was 130* so it has to be med-rare….so in other words as long as the center is 130* that’s a properly cooked med-rare. It made no difference that the majority of the meat was well done. The cow that provided this meat died in vain, twice. We complained both times and both times the servers made us feel like we were in the wrong with no admission of them screwing up. The chef made us 2 cuts of tenderloin to correct the errors, and they were cooked properly, but that’s not what we ordered. The bill came and we were charged in full for something we didn’t even eat and for something we didn’t order. Please see the photo posted on how uneven the cook of the steak was. Rare in some places, well done in others, just all over the place.Service was awful. I had an empty drink on the table for 1.5 hours and was never offered refill or something different. Well why didn’t I just ask if I wanted another drink? Because at a “high end” restaurant like this, I should not have to, it should be noticed. I wanted to see if anybody was paying attention The lady that presented the châteaubriand had no idea how to cut it, it was embarrassing watching her try. The rest of the team was unfriendly, inattentive and unwilling to make things right.Little Louis’ being this restaurant’s main competition, would have been beyond apologetic and rectified the situation. This highlights that the Windjammer is a sub par restaurant comparable to Applebys that wants to charge top dollar despite lack of skill in the kitchen and poor service.A truly awful experience…and on my birthday as well. We will never be back and we will make sure to advise anyone we talk to, to not go there.

WOW! Really there are no adequate words to truly convey the experience we had! You simply must try this restaurant for yourself to understand how stellar everything is. We didn’t have just one server, rather we had a team of servers and they were top notch! Their watchful eyes kept our table clean, our drinks and water topped, and our food orders impeccably accurate. They were an incredible blend of high class, flavored with wit and humor. Each server went above and beyond, and never once were they hovering or overbearing. The food was just unbelievable! From the sweetest, most decadent lobster to the rooftop (yes they have a rooftop garden and apiary) herbed butter, honey lavender pallet cleansers, and locally baked breads, to the locally grown; Amherst wild rice and divine house wine, this place was beyond our wildest expectations!!! The Cesar Salad was stunning. The crème brûlée and flambé strawberries were simply spectacular. We were so flabbergasted with the experience and food that we asked to meet the chef who made our food. All I can say is go. Experience. Prepare to have your culinary taste buds blown away. Prepare to experience service beyond excellence! Prepare to crave the experience over and over and over!
