About this restaurant

  • Innovative
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Winds Café is located in the small, progressive town of Yellow Springs. Visitors enjoy independent and artisan shops, riding along the bike path, hiking in Glen Helen and John Bryan State Park, music or performing arts venues and independent art films at Little Art Theater. The food is European inspired with an American twist and uses as many local ingredients as Chef Kim can find. The menu and wines change monthly to reflect the seasons, and no, you cannot have tomato on your sandwich in February. Winds Café tries to find organic producers whose methods are humane, ethical and environmentally friendly. The restaurant is committed to keeping prices affordable and the quality of the food high; and is also committed to providing excellent, informed service in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. In a sprawling sea of chain restaurants, Winds offers food and wine that is accessible and adventurous providing gastronomic opportunities usually only found in larger cities.

    We were there for brunch celebrating Mother’s Day. It took over 30 min to get our drinks and then had a wait about 15 more minutes for two of the eight that were missing. Our food took forever and came out in 2 shifts with about 20 minutes in between so everyone who got theirs first ate cold meals waiting. We go there a lot for dinner and usually have great service.

    The quality of the food was excellent however the portions were too small. Four peas and three baby potatoes is not much of a side dish. Price paid would be ok if I didn’t walk away hungry

    Our dinners were fantastic (spring vegetable risotto) and our server was both friendly and professional. We drove from Cincinnati - it was well worth the drive and would highly recommend the restaurant to family and friends!

    Our Anniversary. Although the restaurant was very busy, service was pretty good. Unfortunately, our server, who did a fine job for most of the evening, committed the cardinal sin of asking if we wanted dessert while I was still eating my entree. Not a deal breaker but a blemish on what could have been a perfect experience. Food was outstanding!!

    We always make sure we visit the Winds when we are in Yellow Springs for fresh, innovative food and lively conversation. The carrot appetizer and snapper entree were delicious!

    My wife and I had dinner at The Winds Saturday night. I wish I could pull up one of my old reviews, the reviews are invariably the same. Great appetizers, wine, cocktails, main meal and service to kill for. Other than that it was just another night at The Winds.
