Came up to Windward Passage tonight after reading some reviews online. I will tell you it was 100% worth the 45 minute drive. We ate the Coquille St Jacques as an appetizer and it was THE BEST!!! Sorry I didn’t get a picture of that. My husband ordered the prime rib & crab legs and loved it! I ordered the filet and lobster tail which was also amazing!! Steaks were cooked perfectly. It is not a big place and they open at 4pm. We arrived at 530 and it was already packed. So we recommend getting there early if you don’t want to wait. The staff was outstanding. Our waitress Lori told us they have been open for 50 years!! They are cooking great food and serving people right. If you’re looking for a great seafood restaurant check out Windward Passage. You will not be disappointed!

Windward Passage might be my favorite restaurant in Columbus. The service is always, always great and the food is consistently delicious. Friday and Saturday nights are the best nights to go because there are complimentary cinnamon rolls!! I love Waldorf salad and I don't know of anywhere else to get it. We got friend shrimp and shrimp scampi - yum - and the oysters remmick.

1st time there! It's smaller than I thought, so go early if you don't want to wait. Excellent food. Great service. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's so worth it. I'm definitely recommending this establishment to others.

Been here a handful of times. Great rich, flavorful scallops and nice crab cakes and appetizers such as the bacon wrapped oysters. Rolls they bring out are nice and flakey with awesome "Kerrygold like" butter on the side. Tried the new york strip steak this time and was impressed as well. Also the fish fillets such as the grouper are worth it. Always try to swing by when I'm in the area.

Hands down the best seafood in Columbus, and some of the best I've ever had anywhere. Don't be offput by the dated interior - the food is utterly incredible. You can get things that have disappeared off other places' menus for years, such as the Waldorf salad. The complimentary sweet bread is likewise incredible. The clam chowder is my gold standard. But that all pales in comparison to the fish. The fish is the star of the show. Delicate, flaky, and cooked to perfection every time. This place doesn't advertise, and doesn't need to. Arrive early or be prepared to wait...but worry not, for it is worth it.

The food was not the same,they changed the spices on the blackened catfish it tasted like a salt shaker, and the Prime Rib was all gristle and fat. The side dish of broccoli. They brought me one stem of broccoli. The waitress did not even ask if there was anything else I could get for you. Worst meal I have ever gotten there.
