WHERE IS CROSSWINDS?

We are located on the same campus as Island Adventures Family Fun Center on Rt. 53N., Port Clinton.  Crosswinds rounds out a fun-filled day at Island Adventures or complements an Island Adventures birthday party magnificently!

 

WHAT TYPE OF MENU DOES CROSSWINDS OFFER?

Besides Cameo Pizza, Crosswinds offers a traditional American menu featuring Lake Erie Perch & Walleye, 100% Angus burgers, specialty salads, steak and pasta dinners, crispy wings, unique appetizers, & tempting desserts.

 

DOES CAMEO PIZZA STILL OFFER PICKUP AND DELIVERY SERVICES?

WHAT JOBS ARE AVAILABLE AT CROSSWINDS?

The development of Crosswinds has created approximately 55 NEW JOBS to our area.  Among the positions are servers, bartenders, cooks, delivery drivers, and kitchen assistants.  While our positions are currently filled, we always accept applications.

Minimum age requirements apply.

 

WHY THE NAME "CROSSWINDS"?

The word "crosswinds" is an aeronautical and nautical term that refers to any wind that is blowing perpendicular to the line of travel.  Our goal is to provide a high quality product in a family atmosphere that is unique, or perpendicular, to everyday big-chain restaurants.  Crosswinds is also a reference to our unique location at the east end of runway 9-27 in Port Clinton and our general proximity to Lake Erie.

 

HOW CAN I APPLY FOR A POSITION?
