Windmill Restaurant
First opened in the 1930s, this renovated restaurant serves locals and visitors a full menu of hand-cut steaks and seafood. Windmill is known for its steaks as much as their Sunday all-day special featuring jumbo prawns. Dress casual and stop in for lunch or dinner. During the summer, ask to be seated on the patio and watch the wildlife enjoying the big pond in back--in cooler weather, a 10-foot fire pit makes for pleasant evening dining.
