The Tropics - Winthrop Harbor

Wonderful place for boating season. Decor is Tiki Hut. Nice if somewhat expensive menu. Can't be beat view of Lake Michigan. Outdoor deck. Just really nice

Very fast service, and the food is good! Looking out at the water and the boats is so nice. The wind is nice, and the interior reminds me of being on a boat. Definitely come for the view!

Great spot, off the beaten path. Service will depend on time you show up and the weather. Food is always on point and the mai tais are good (maybe a bit weak for us) but the tap beer is crisp and fresh. Been here at least a dozen times over the years and keep coming back. Beach next door is the best in Lake County and the new(er) tap house on the lake is excellent.

Edit: we went back again and ordered the pizza, definitely upgraded to five stars based on the quality there. A medium pizza easily feeds three people, and it's a great, crispy thin crust. Diverse, simple menu with something that appeals to everyone (even puppies! , and daily specials. Even after a few drinks and a main, you can escape under $30 a head. The service is friendly and attentive.

This is a great restaurant to go to and relax. Many good times were made here and would recommend going as much as possible!
