Reviews for Windjammer in Moncton, New Brunswick
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.
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. Read more
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!

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. Read more
