What OpenTable Diner doesn't like about The Windlass Restaurant & Marina:
The atmosphere is too loud, the décor reminds me of 1950's style cafeteria and the food is not worth the price. The service, however was outstanding. Our server was one of the best servers I've ever had. She was polite, quick and very attentive. View all feedback. What OpenTable Diner likes about The Windlass Restaurant & Marina:
The windlass offers quality food and many menu choices. (Be sure to try the pizza). The view is spectacular, the restaurant in situated on the water. Friendly staff, friendly patrons. You can dress up, you can go casual. Go to eat and you won’t be disappointed. Live music on certain nights, loud enough to hear low enough to enjoy conversation at your table. Excellent experience.

The Windlass restaurant offers a mix of reviews from disappointed customers to highly satisfied patrons. Some have remarked on the poor service and lackluster food quality, while others have praised the accommodating staff and delicious meals. The restaurant's setting near the lake, complete with beautiful views and a relaxing ambiance, is a highlight for many. Reservations are recommended, as the restaurant can get busy. Overall, The Windlass seems to offer a mixed experience, with some guests thoroughly enjoying their visit while others left disappointed.
