Crosswinds Restaurant & Bar

Still going strong.  Had the perch platter and jumbo beer.  Labor Day weekend couldn't have been better!  We got in just before the dinner rush.

Good food, nice drinks and good service.

I have mixed feelings about how to review Crosswinds. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone I know, but of was exactly what I was looking for after a long day outside in the heat. The atmosphere is somewhere between casual fam. restaurant and local sports bar. It is clean and comfortable, and just a tad noisy. The food was decent, if boring. The preparation was OK, it's just a little bland, and there is nary a vegetable to be found on the menu.  The service, too, was unremarkable.  
I'm never going to say, "I found this great place," but it may be just the place if you are hot and tired, and just want decent food in a comfortable place.

Like others have mentioned, Im not quite sure what people expect for dining options in Port Clinton.  My mother and I ate at this resaurant last week and thoroughly enjoyed it!  The menu has a nice variety of salads, chicken, sandwiches, Italian food, etc.  My mom and I spit the Lake Erie perch platter, and I would say it was some of the best fish I had ever eaten!!! There was enough for the both of us, plus one piece that was leftover.  We also split a bowl of the cauliflower/cheddar soup, which was pretty good.

It was a Friday evening and there was a wait unless we opted to eat at the bar, which we did. The bartender (I don't recall his name) was extremly nice and attentive.  They have several TV's in the bar area, so if you are a sports fan, you are in luck!

If you stay at the Holiday Inn Express, they offer free delivery of their pizzas, subs, and appetizers.  A gentleman that was sitting at the bar said the pizza was excellent (it looked really good).

The perch platter, a bowl of soup, and a bottle of house chardonnay was $41.  Not bad for good food, in a nice environment with good service!!!  I would be back!
