KIN Windsor is a great little neighborhood restaurant. It fills up quickly with locals, so reservations are strongly recommended. Five of us met there for lunch (four from San Diego and one local) last week (2/14/25). We were immediately greeted and seated quickly. Our fifth person was a little delayed, but staff were very accommodating. Most had burgers. I had the Tum Tum burger which was delicious and huge - I gave up picking it up and resorted to carving it into manageable bites. The Caesar side salad was also delicious and the right size - not too large or small. Others had the Bacon and Gorgonzola burger, which would have been my other choice, a KIN Burger, and the YBC Burger, plus one had the Lasagna. All really enjoyed the burgers and especially the fries that came with most of the burgers. I was driving, so I stuck to lemonade (which was refilled whenever it got low), and the others had a nice Balletto Pinot Noir to accompany the burgers. We finished off with a couple of the fruit crumbles (which were a lot like big apple pie pieces, with large slices of apple in a rich filling with a crumble crust), plus a large and tasty Cheesecake. Whenever we are up around Santa Rosa, we try to drop in to KIN Windsor for a meal. They never disappoint and we highly recommend KIN Windsor.
