Come savor a delightful dish at Cook's Shop The Restaurant. This restaurant features a variety of pizzas and pasta for 11$ to 25$. You can get there by bicycle.
I will always remember what I had for dinner the first time my parents brought me to the Cook's Shop. It was the Chicken Diablo - a whole, large chicken, butterflied with a spicy sauce. The server commented that it was "bigger than me" and I might not be able to eat it all. I proved her wrong!
SInce then, I have made many trips to this little place and most of the time I still end up with the chicken. My girlfriend feels the same way about the Angus Scallopini. On our last visit, the "garnish" (as they call it), was an order of spagheti in marinara sauce. In most places, this "garnish" could have been dinner!
I will never stop coming here. The food is great. The wait staff are super nice and accommodating. And the one waiter who always seemed to be in a hurry is now gone - (some people will find that a relief, but I must say he waited on us a couple of times and it wasn't too bad).
Cook's Shop - hang in there - we are coming back!
Always great to come home to Windsor and have our traditional meal at the Cook's Shop- great food, great service; try the chocolate cake! Gnocchi is fantastic
We were very dissapointed when we returned to the cook's shop after so many years. It used to be "the" restaurant in Windsor to go to. First of all our table was so dark that we literally could not read the menu. I expressed this to our server and her response was.....yeah.....we don't have the candles anymore......sorry. We are not fussy or prudes by any means.....but, we really could not see the menue. I had to get up and go hold the menue under a light at another table. The food was o.k. nothing to the quality it used to be. They used to prepare dishes at the table, which made it all that more special, but, now they only do it for "certain" things. It has certainly lost it ambiance. Like I said, the food was o.k.....the service, o.k. (ordered an irish coffee after dinner and she used cc instead of irish whisky, then tried to convince me that it was irish whisky). The price was reasonable. I just wish it had that old charm like it used to. I probably wont go back. There are so many other good restaurants in Windsor now, that this one is very comparable to.
we usually visit this place once or twice a year, and we will keep doing that. However, we feel that they can set a better appetizers selection as there is almost none and same goes for their sides as the only option right now is their frozen vegetables.
we will visit again for the romantic atmosphere and friendly staff.. we hope to see an improved wine list and a new sexy menu, with the same great value
