This is a review of the Windjammer and the Upper Deck Pub above the Windjammer restaurant.
I do eat the Windjammer food regularly and I really enjoy it. Once in a while a steak special might be a bit dry or overdone, and I can certainly nitpick some things but overall the food is very good and priced well for what you'll get.
The salad "boat" is a favorite with fresh veggies and bread. I've been to salad bars with more selections, but I find that what I get here is always satisfying and fresh.
The dinner entrees cover a fairly wide range of items from steak to enchiladas. Most of which I've been really happy with. The steak specials are a favorite, with a rotating choice of steak, often filet, served with Bearnaise or another sauce/glaze. Since I mention the enchiladas, I wouldn't figure to order those outside of a Mexican restaurant but I was very pleased when I did so recently. The clam chowder has always been a favorite for me as well.
The Upper Deck Pub upstairs is more than worth a visit if you are so inclined. The beer selection is very good, best I've encountered really for a "hotel bar." Heady Topper is usually there along with Focal Banger and a nice selection of other local/regional taps, cans and bottles. If Heady Topper isn't your thing, there are plenty of other great choices with a thoughtful blend of rotators and steady brands you can count on. But the staff is really what makes the difference here. They are terrific! I couldn't call most any of them by name as I usually sit at the bar, but I recognize staff members who have been there for at least a couple of years and who always seem to be there. A great sign, I think, of what this place is about. I can say that Mike at the bar is a great person who is always smiling and it is a pleasure to see him whenever I sit down there. Say hello to him!

Food is basic and service is spotty at times. Prices are pretty high for what you're getting. Don't bother making special requests because they cant even make a medium rare steak with salt and pepper. Last time I went I got sick from their food. Called the manager letting them know the next day and was hung up on. Every time I've gone before that it's gotten progressively worse. Won't be going here again.

Excellent food for the price paid. Nice and quiet environment. Been there for lunch on weekdays

Pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste of their food compared to the last time I are here. The salad bar had a good selection of items and the salad and vegetables were cut appropriately, clean and were nice and cold. Nice choice of dressings and toppings. Included in the salad bar was bread and two different Cabot cheeses and grapes. Our table had three steaks and each one was well cooked and tasted very good. I was not excited to come here but received a gift certificate from a friend. Now I will look forward to returning.

Extremely tender and flavorful cowboy ribeye. Salad bar was a nice start to dinner. Dessert was a peanut butter pie with an Oreo crust that was available in a petite size and finished the meal off perfectly. I would say the bread and mashed potatoes could have been a little better, but that is me picking nits.

Where do I begin! Unbelievable salad bar. I've been to windjammer 3 times now. And every time has been amazing. The staff is friendly. All three different waiters and waitresses where unbelievable. Checked in the right amount of times. Always topped off our drinks. Made sure we had everything. Not to mention the food is superb. I had fish steak and chicken each time. I'd recommend all those dishes. I'm excited to go back for more. Wether your going on a lovely date, family outing, or with friends thus place is a must go to! Enjoy I know you will!

Nothing to like about this place. Overpriced appetizers like the cheese board where one of the cheeses was pieces of rind I would throw away. The steaks are better at Outback. My friends didn't care for their meatloaf (sauce too sweet) or the greasy Shepards pie. Too bad, locals seem to like the place but big yucko if you ask me.

Unless your dressed to fit in or look like someone from around the area you will be treated differently my wife and myself walked out and will never go back because when some one looks at you in a judgemental way and speaks down to you as if your "the help" i feel is wrong. I will never step foot in that place again there are so many resturants in this area that its worth going some where else where they will appreciate every customer!!!!

Dined upstairs at the bar. Appreciated the bartenders honesty about certain items to avoid on the menu. The salad bar downstairs had many toppings to choose from. Also, be sure to stop by a cut a slice of cheese from the two cheese blocks. Ordered the seafood platter. Was expecting more seafood in the dish than a few shrimp, scallops and a piece of fish. The shrimp tasted frozen and plain. Several beers on draft to choose from. Had Heady Topper in the can.
