PIER 290

Incredible service, ambiance is top notch. Food is understandably pricy, but wish portions were larger. That's the difference between 4 stars and 5. That being said, I'll definitely go back.

Listen to these reviews and don't waste your money please. I want to cry with our waste tonight. The only pros: the igloo (half of the light on the bottom was out). Decent drinks. Nice service. Cons: the food!!! So damn overpriced, and beyond subpar. $400 for 2 adults, 1 infant, 1 child. We even shared an entree, which was chicken sliders (waiters recommendation, which should be a red flag). Never again, truly. My son got a hamburger. We got a steak for the table and it was full blown butane flavor. Like no one ate it. Fries and Caesar salad were good. The ambiance was wonderful. Not close to what it costs to be there.

We had sandwiches. Just wanted to check it out . The view was everything . Very loud. Lots of drunk women sadly. 4 pm We sat by the sand away from everyone trying to just enjoy the lake and have a bite.Service needs a serious attitude adjustment.The manager of the bar / restaurant outside has a very rough attitude.My husband and I don't go to places for just eat. . We go for the whole experience.Unfortunately this restaurant disappointed.Maybe if they offer little bites in between all the drinks that they allowed their customers to have. The environment wouldn't be so unfriendly.Honestly the view is such a privilege!!!

This was one of those restaurants that we were recommended by a family member whose name I will not reveal. Service was not a problem. We were seated right away, and our server was wonderful. This is definitely about the food and the price. I ordered their beef patty you can get as a double or a single and from many other beef patties that I've had I didn't think I could eat a double so I got the single. Boy was I wrong. I got the hamburger and it was thinner than a McDonald's patty. And the french fries were no better. Thankfully it came with lettuce tomatoes and pickles otherwise I would have felt like I was just eating a plain bun. I was shocked at the size of this patty and I think it was $19. My date had a Caesar salad and they must have ran out of Caesars and salad thank God we added chicken for an extra $5. I'm not sure what the big deal is about this place besides maybe the view during peak season when it's wide open and looking over lake Geneva but overpriced McDonald's is all I can think of. I had a chocolate martini that was $22. My date had the watermelon margarita very tasty but $15 yikes. In a small glass with a lot of ice. I couldn't say I can recommend this place, unless of course you like overpriced McDonald's. I did provide a picture of my date after seeing the bill.

Visited for my significant other's birthday. We had an absolutely beautiful time at Pier 290The service was decent. Meals were spaced out or seemingly timed as one would expect in an upscale establishment. Perhaps our server was newer. We received water sparingly and were not asked about drink refills often. The ceviche we ordered came with freshly baked chips that were not fresh. The first ones cup of chips we received happed to be stale. The replacements had likely been out of the oven for at least an hour.The steak stack was pretty good. The lobster roll was pretty good. The crabcakes were. And the Martini was strong.

I came in for lunch on a Saturday with my son's family, including 2 small kids. I've eaten dinner here before and it has always been great. This was during the local ice festival and it was busy, though we had a reservation. We're were seated right away and our server was very pleasant and provided us with drinks and took our orders for starters of cheese curds and spicy cauliflower. The starters were small, but the cauliflower and rice was delicious and the kids loved the cheese curds. It was a good thing we ordered starters as the main courses took about 50 minutes to arrive and the kids got restless. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the kids ate free from the kids menu; nice large Chicken Nuggets and house chips for one and a personal pizza and fries for the other. I thought my blackened tuna sandwich was delicious but it was a on a small roll and a very small piece of tuna. For the prices, I would expect more. With the negatives I gave 3 stars. I understand that they were busy but it was a long wait for pretty simple meals, they might have known it would be busy with the festival going on. And the portions on the starters and my sandwich were small, for the prices. However, the fact that the kids ate free was a big plus. Would definitely go back based on prior experiences. Nice restaurant with great view of the lake.

Pricey dinner options but very delicious. We sat outside and enjoyed the night views. Can recommend for a nice meal.

Stopped in during the holiday time. Had a large party but service was decent! The lobster BLT was my favorite dish

Pier 290 is just eh and very expensive for what you get. It wasn't terrible but not worth the price you pay. $14.00 for deviled eggs......they should be magical not the same thing I make at home. The service was good and quick getting our food and the live music was nice. Would not return due to cost.

The food is a bit pricy, but you're paying for quality fish and the lakeside atmosphere. There's also often live music which you can hear throughout the entire restaurant - the music is subtle in most of the dining area and doesn't distract from conversation like live music often can do.Our waitress was phenomenal, extremely friendly and eager to make suggestions and we decided between items on the menu.I ordered the salmon and swapped the wilted greens (still unsure what these are) for green beans which would fabulous. The salmon was cooked well and very tasty - it was not very seasoned which I personally enjoyed, but I could easily see others being disappointed in the lack of flavor there. We got a mousse dessert that was wildly underwhelming. I'd say stick to the seafood when ordering here and grab dessert on your way home!
