The service was fast and the staff were great. The food was awesome and the atmosphere was very nice. Even had Amtrak stop by and let people off! Talk about ambience!!
Delicious and great menu selection. Craft cocktails were great! This is an authentic dining experience that has served locals and visitors for a while now. Fair prices and great food.
We had a fabulous dinner here last night for the first time. Our waitress, Kristin, was warm, friendly and delightful. Started off with the Merry Mai Tai (Yum). The veggie burger was the best we have ever had (not a patty from the freezer) and the Railroad Rigatoni was so fresh, tasty and deliciously homemade! Huge portions that will be leftovers today. Sorry we didn't have room for dessert, but I am sure they are wonderful. Next time. Great atmosphere in the beautiful train station. A special spot! Thank you!
Delicious food, great staff, and an amazing setting. I had the half order of Italian sausage and pasta and it was perfect. My husband had a half order of the chicken Parmesan and we had leftovers! We also had the butternut squash soup and chocolate and pumpkin swirl cake and both were excellent. Our waiter was lovely and very friendly.
The food was so good and the ambiance was even better. The bartender was super nice and I can't wait to return!
Great dinner last night at Windsor Station. Our first time and definitely won't be the last I enjoyed the chicken Parm with spaghetti. The spaghetti is made in the house and was perfect. The other members of my dining party enjoyed the Smashburger, the rigatoni and the special of the night a fish sandwich. Everybody agreed that Windsor station will become a regular spot for us. Shared maple frosted carrot cake and a bowl of ice cream. I suggested they should add a bowl of the maple frosting as a possible dessert item. Definitely a great team working the dining room and the front door. Very friendly and very knowledgeable.
Great food in an old Train station! Perfect stop for delicious food. The bread basket w/maple butter was a great start. We then had crab cakes and 1/2 order of Calamari both came with equally good sauces. Dinner was 1/2 Chicken Parm and husband had burger special. Both again delicious, although he asked for medium and got well- done. Still amazing Dessert was carrot cake with the best Maple cream on top. Run don't walk.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Vermont. They truly do everything right here. The atmosphere is elegant, but relaxed; the staff is friendly and courteous; the food is amazing with large portions; the prices are very reasonable. This restaurant is for every occasion -- from birthday dinner to casual meal. The vibe is more so towards jeans and a button-up, but I felt comfortable in my usual t-shirt and shorts. I appreciated the complementary bread before any meals arrived -- a small but increasingly less common practice -- with maple butter! Fried Calamari: Absolutely delicious. We foolishly ordered the half-portion, which is more suited to one person. These were crisp, well-seasoned, and tender. Next time, I'll order the full portion. Basin Street Alfredo: A classically heavy dish, the Alfredo was rich and packed with chicken, shrimp, and sausage. I ordered the full portion, which is very large -- I ended up taking about a 1/3 of it home, which is great. I really enjoyed this entree.

We just had a wonderful dinner experience with Windsor Station Restaurant. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was fresh and hot and delicious! The ambiance was unique and comforting and I highly recommend! When we were seated, the waitstaff brought over fresh hot bread and butter which is always a nice touch while you view the menu and you're starving. I ordered the veggie burger with side salad instead of fries and hubby ordered the full size alfredo with a half caesar to start. My burger was quite possibly the best veggie burger I've ever had. It was stacked with fresh lettuce and tomatoes and carmelized onions and sautéed mushrooms with melted cheddar on the veggie patty- which was hot and perfectly formed- not too dry like it has been from where i've ordered from other places in the past. My side salad was cool and refreshing with fresh veggies and the maple peppercorn dressing was amazing!! Hubby's half caesar was basic but just the right size for having veggies with his dinner . His alfredo however, was AMAZING. It wasn't a regular alfredo sauce, since there was chicken, shrimp and sausage so that added a delicious savory taste. He brought about 1/3 of the leftovers of the FULL size home so he wouldn't overdo it. All and all, was a wonderful meal. Great food. Great service. Great setting. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars was because we were charged for my side salad that should've come with my burger. We didn't bother questioning it though because everything else was so perfect, we just let it go and figured the food was so great we didn't care about paying an extra $4 for my salad !
