Specialties

History

Established in 2004.

Crosswinds Grille started as a picnic pavilion that offered fried fish and grilled steaks on summer weekends to lodging guests at The Lakehouse Inn. The following winter, the building was closed-​in and was able to offer meals year round to lodging guests. Over the next few years, an outdoor patio was added and Crosswinds Grille opened to the public. The restaurant offered indoor seating for twenty guests and outdoor seating for forty guests and served fine dining in a causal lakefront setting. In the winter of 2012, Crosswinds Grille received a major renovation and now offers year round seating for fifty guests.

We stayed at the lake house and enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at this place. Both were wonderful! And the service was very nice. We had the steak which was 12 oz and huge! And the potatoes and Brussels sprouts the came with it were just as delicious. The maple ice cream was divine and the chocolate lave cake was great except all the larval has absorbed into the cake. Also unfortunately we found most of the wine very sour with a vinegar after taste.

Overall, pretty good. They have a small menu, but that’s kind of nice. Their house salad was okay. I think the only dressing they have for it is a sweet balsamic vinaigrette (decent). I also got a pizza with pepperoni, mushroom, and banana peppers. The pizza was very good. The service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was nice (a little classier than other places in GOTL). One downside was that they didn’t have the AC on, or any windows open (it was like 65 outside), it wasn’t hot, but it was musty and humid from the kitchen. I’d go back.

We had a great meal! Despite having a reservation we still had to wait about 20 minutes for a table but the scallop appetizer was excellent! Our server was decent and brought us some lovely chocolate mints with the bill. Would return for the food although it was a bit expensive. Definitely recommend a reservation regardless because the dining room is small!

I’m a little surprised to see 2 star reviews. I don’t know what people expect, but you can’t get food of this quality for free. If you’re looking for cheap ass food with no taste or nutritional value, take yourself to TGI Friday’s or something. This is farm to table at its best. Fresh, grass fed meat from local farms, insanely delicious. Grass fed filet — best filet I ever had hands down! Literally melted in my mouth. The potatoes were perfect. My fiancé had the lamb with orzo and loved it but he was so mad he didn’t get the filet, lol!
The staff was on top of it the entire time. Our waitress, Erin, was great. I love the little touches like the note at the end. The pinot grigio was good. The view of the lake is a bonus but even if it wasn’t for that, we’d still continue going back. Can’t wait to try more things from the menu.

My husband and I were excited about a great meal but were disappointed. The acoustics in the restaurant are horrible & as a result it was very loud. Food and wine were okay but didn’t feel it justified the prices. Our server was friendly but we had to wait an extremely long time for our dinners. When my dinner arrived and I wasn’t happy with it we felt he manager handled the situation poorly. My husband did enjoy his duck but as a whole it was not a positive dining experience.

Staying at The Lakehouse, we were in and out of Crosswinds all weekend. They have some delicious appetizers, a fantastic breakfast, and a diverse and unique drink menu. We had one bartender that was such a wonderful person and another one who was direct but ok. The wait staff is adequate and timely, but the staff we had for breakfast was very sweet and accommodating. My wife was more than a little disappointed that she couldn’t sit during their wine tasting, which I can understand on both sides: we were there as patrons and had been walking around GOTL, but the place is pretty small; they probably want to be sure everyone can get to the bar. There was outdoor seating, but they didn’t open it all weekend (late June, unseasonably cool), which disappointed us, and all of GOTL was overrun with what I think are mayflies. Crosswinds had to be the best homebase for GOTL, and we’ll be sure to come back again.

We absolutely loved Crosswinds. Our server Emily was nothing but a delight and the food was delicious. The wine was fabulous with lots of choices. We had the grass fed beef burgers with fries, that were seasoned perfectly and served promptly. We would highly recommend this to any couple or small group and cannot wait to come back and enjoy Crosswinds during the summer!

After the tanebaum trail my husband and friends are here. The service was very good. The good was over priced. I am on a limited diet right now so I ordered mashed potatoes. The served me a boiled potato with the skin mashed down a couple of times with a fork! No seasoning at all! My husband and friends stated the fish that they ordered was not reflective of the price!

This place was great.
Farm to table food. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. I ordered the Duck breast, my wife ordered the chicken breast. I never order chicken breast when we go out. My fear is that it will be overlooked and dry. As I can overlook chicken like the best of them I usually order something else. Crosswinds grille’s chef made me wish I had ordered the chicken. My duck was perfectly cooked and may have been the best duck I have had. However my wife’s chicken was amazing. It was seasoned expertly and cooked to perfection. It was served with a spring onion risotto. This risotto was unbelievable. It was creamy and delicious. If you can imagine the onion and gruyère flavors of French onion soup, then add them to a perfect creamy risotto, delicious. To too it off this restaurant has beautiful views of Lake Erie.
We really enjoyed our meal. If you are in Geneva you should definitely check this place out.

Great early dinner here Sunday May 4. I had the Yellowfin Tuna special and friend had vegetarian dish with chick peas and side of roasted brussel sprouts. My fish was done perfectly as requested, with ramp aioli that was wonderful, too. Sprouts were fabulous! Their Chardonnay was a surprising pleasure as well. All in all, a wonderful meal in a very nice environment overlooking the lake.

We came to this restaurant because we were staying in the Lakehouse Inn next door to the restaurant. The atmosphere was nice but the food was a little lacking. I ordered the chicken breast over some polenta like mash. There were no vegetables, no salad and it was hard going down due to no varieties in flavors. Waitress also got my order wrong so we had to wait another 10 minutes to get our food. Very pricey for what you get.
