Island Fin Poke, Windermere

Good food. good happy hour beer and appitizer specials.

Horrible experience. Made reservation for 7:30p, food didn't arrive until 8:30p for party of 7 with no explanation from staff. Only 3 tables had people in the entire restaurant. Then food came out cold. Just plain lame!!!

We previously in 2018 brought in the new year with dexters Windermere and it was awesome ! But this year we made reservations to bring in the New Year at dexters Windermere and they told us it would be live music until 2 am, meaning we would bring the new year in with champagne, hats, etc but around 1130 we see that the band was ending their sets, and the waiter was asking for last call after we purchased endless wine a few moments before, then upon asking they said they were closing for the night ! We were disappointed because it was too late to go to another event to bring in the New Year, so me my husband drove home and had 2 minutes to get out the car and say happy New Years to one another. Very disappointing for us

Skip this restaurant! The staff was dressed like this was a college bar, so your not sure who even works there. (One was even in a spandex cropped top and yoga pants) I ordered the salmon and it looked like a mystery fish no pink so maybe frozen? The rice was definitely reheated because it was crunchy. I ended up eating vegetables and my sons French fry’s for dinner. My husband got fish and chips and his fish was still frozen in the center. When we told the staff they took his plate and came back with a appetizer plate. The restaurant even looks like it’s closing because it needs a lot of repairs one of the women’s sink didn’t work. None of the wine cabinets were holding any wine. Basically it looks like someone gave up.

We simply could not talk to each other and the food was marginal. Half of the dining experience is visiting with your dinner companions. How are you supposed to have a conversation with your server and the people at your table when you are yelling over the live music that started and hour earlier than you were told it would start when you were seated. Several tables got up and left in the middle of their meals. We finished the meal and went elsewhere for dessert.
