Columbus Old-School Gem: Winward Passage

💛This 51-year-old restaurant feels like stepping into a pirate movie🏴‍☠️! The moment you enter, you’re transported to a cozy, timeless space where generations of locals—especially grandparents—gather to enjoy classic seafood. ✨The name "Winward Passage" is intriguingly poetic, referencing the strait between the West Indies and Cuba. The restaurant specializes in oysters, fish, and steak, paired with a selection of drinks. 🍻Their freshly shucked oysters ($3 each) are a standout—unlike typical supermarket varieties, these are plump, sweet, and utterly fresh, with no fishy taste. 🍮 Enjoy them raw with a combination of zesty shrimp cocktail sauce and horseradish, or try the baked Oysters Rockefeller, topped with melted cheese. 🥐We also ordered the Prime Rib and Clam Chowder Soup. The chowder deserves special mention—packed with clam meat in every spoonful, with a rich, comforting broth. 🧀The warm, unhurried atmosphere makes it perfect for a leisurely meal. If you’re in Columbus, don’t miss this nostalgic seafood experience! #ColumbusEats #SeafoodLovers #OhioFood
