It's a cozy space, with a very lively crowd at the bar. Service was on point, which was impressive since there appeared to be only two servers. The fish was plentiful, with a nice crispy breading. The slaw was also really good and seemed like it was made in house. I do wish I got the perch, it's several dollars more, but the piled high plates that went past us looked delicious.

Our server (sorry forgot her name) was friendly and efficient. Good ambience to the place. I had the Rueben sandwich on sourdough bc I don't like rye bread. Came with delicious tater tots, or you could have them with fries or chips. Overall a good experience and prices were reasonable for these days of high tariffs and meaningless wars. Just sayin'

My husband and I came in for a beer then decided on getting just a small bite to eat. The only…read morething going for this place was the very cold beer and it was in a can at that. My husband ordered chili and we saw the cook walk behind the bar to the cooler and walk back to the kitchen with it, that should've been a sign right there. I ordered mac & cheese bites. The mac & cheese bites were the size of a large kidney bean and there were 5 of them for $8 dollars!!! The chili was too salty and more like a soup so my husband sent it back. We got our bill and she charged us for the chili and we asked about that and she said she could comp us a drink and was unpleasant about it. We left without finishing our drinks and won't go back.

I had barely set foot in the door when the two bartenders at the bar greeted me warmly and welcomed me in and told me I could sit anywhere I wanted. I sat at the bar and as recommended by a local, I ordered the pepper jack crab soup, which was delicious. One thing to be aware of: don't expect real crab in the soup. Imitation only. But it's plentiful and delicious on a frigid winter day. The bartender recommended the roasted chicken or the perch, and living near another great lake and always having ready access to perch, I decided on the broasted chicken. I was not disappointed. It came with four pieces, choice, potato, and a choice of another side. It was way too its food, but I ate more than I thought they would because it was that good. I will definitely return to the painted lady!

Just don't! The restaurant is on the top floor of the hotel overlooking Lake Michigan. It has an…read moreabsolutely beautiful panoramic view of the lake. The restaurant serves dinner only. After Labor Day they have a "limited " menu. It's pricey and the food is barely edible(actually we couldn't finish any of the food we ordered so I'm being charitable here). There are a number of really interesting and very good restaurants a few minutes away along the river. Give the Windward a hard pass. The hotel needs to redo their whole concept; even the bar is limited and not very good. This is a great hotel and you'll have an absolutely wonderful time here but sail clear of the Windward!

While the service was a bit slow and prices are on the higher side, the food quality makes it worth the visit. The wedge salad was fantastic--super fresh and flavorful. I had the mushroom Swiss burger which was massive and delicious, loaded with sautéed onions and mushrooms. Fries were perfectly seasoned. Our daughter is gluten-free and loved the cauliflower crust pizza--crispy, generous portion, and totally satisfying. Great spot for a relaxing meal with a view.
