The Restaurant

Windows on the Water was designed by the architect to fully capture the view of the harbor - the restaurant has 18 large windows that provide a panoramic view of the bay from The Rock in the north to Montaña de Oro in the south.

Planned with our guests in mind, Windows dining area is divided into two rooms, the Vineyard Room and the Bay Room with each having it's unique qualities, but both sharing the same view. Windows bar is elevated to share the view, and features an exhibition kitchen for those interested in food preparation. Windows can make available the following choices: The Bay Room, The Vineyard Room, Windows Exclusive (the entire restaurant), as follows:

Bay Room

Guests: 88 Seated or 100 Standing
Parties: Ideal for receptions and large parties

Food & Drink

Food

Taking advantage of our location in the heartland of the Central Coast, we feature outstanding local organic produce, farm produced olive oil, and fresh & sustainably caught fish. Our menu also reflects our awareness to healthy eating. All entrées may be ordered as featured on the menu, or, instead, accompanied with our Chef's choice of low carbohydrate or low fat selections.

Executive Chef Neil Smith has included several menus, as suggestions for your consideration. While they are "educated" suggestions, they are suggestions only, and can be modified. Should you prefer a special dish, he will be happy to provide it. However, please bear in mind that the preparations of some dishes do not make them suitable for large gatherings.

Wine

Located in the heart of seven great wine appellations, Windows on the Water maintains an award winning wine list. With a cellar capacity of over 5000 bottles, our wine list features approximately 300 varieties. Although international in breadth, the list is naturally "heavy" with our fine local wines.

In selecting your wine, if you have no favorite, our Sommelier will be happy to recommend wines to compliment your menu choices.

Mixed Drinks

Windows also has a fully stocked bar with the most popular drink selections prepared by experienced bartenders.

Coordination

It is our preference to have one person, our General Manager, as the contact person for all aspects of your wedding reception or large party event at Windows on the Water. He will work in concert with our Dining Room Manager to ensure your wishes are carried out. 

As is always the case, the more pre-planning that can be accomplished leaves time to handle those unexpected occurrences or unusual requirements that can crop up at the last minute.

Let us help you celebrate!
