We got there early enough on a Sunday to get a table on the patio with a good view. But I would really suggest reservations! It got super busy. There is complementary valet but the guys were busy sitting in their chairs. And when we stopped 3 guys were still on their phones. We then went on to self park only having parked to finally have gotten the valets attention to be told we had to move our car. Sorry… not cool. Food was good. The crab cakes and potato pancakes were more on the burnt side which you can see from our photos. But the soup, corned beef hash and the almond cake at the end were great! Views were so nice! It was so pleasant! Our server was great! She was so attentive and helpful!! Maybe she should teach the valet a couple things!! Also had a cute shop on site and picked up a couple things. Short of the valet…. Everything was great!

The place gets extra stars because of the lake view, which is amazing. However, service took forever to come and take our order (I am talking almost 10 minutes), and despite we weren’t in a rush, it doesn’t feel right. Food is pretty decent and tasty, but the price you pay is too much for the quality you get. It might be the best option for seafood around, but I hope they improve!

We ate on Sunday and should have made a reservation but were able to be seated at a booth still overlooking water. Parking is complimentary valet but plan cash for tip. We decided to park up around the corner in the self parking lot. We easily found a spot at 4:40ish. We ordered two house salads. The lettuce was crisp and fresh. We also enjoyed the smoked onion dip and chips topping it off with the Cookies and Cream desert! Service was excellent. They stayed on top of our water glasses and were very friendly and attentive. Great gift shop on premises.

So going to say it straight out of the gate...going to be a little harder here, not necessarily because of the prices, but because of what we got for the prices. And, yes, I'm aware we're in a touristy area. I agree with a lot of the other reviews here, over priced for what it is, 26 bucks for crab cakes, and almost 40 for a lobster roll. I'm pretty sure Lake Geneva doesn't have fresh blue crab or lobster. Now that I have that out of the way...the food was good, but just that, nothing making it extraordinary. We had the spinach and artichoke dip, which honestly was the best part of the meal...and save the chips, they should consider solely using the bread. I had the crab cakes as an entrée, and I admit, they were tasty. My wife had the fish tacos. The cucumber salad/slaw was over powering and took away from every other taste. The view was great though, between it and Halley providing good service, almost makes up for the mark up.

We visit Lake Geneva for a Gals getaway and Pier 290 was highly recommended to us. We loved it. The food was delicious and the service fantastic. Drink were tasty too! We will definitely visit again when we come back.

Love going to Pier 290! Great food in a special atmosphere. We had a tasty Hummus plate and a huge Flatbread that was done just right. Our waitress was prompt, courteous and attentive. We can't wait to go back. The view is amazing-and the entertainment was so much fun

Cute little bistro on the shores of Lake Geneva. Our waitress Hailey was prompt, professional, and had a good understanding of the menu. She explained the Friday fish fry special, which was one of the items we ended up ordering. In addition to the fish fry, we also got the fish tacos and the double stack burger. All of the food was really good. The pricing here was a little on the high end, but the food was good, our server Hailey was awesome, and the views are really great.

We had a great time at Pier 290. We were running 15 mins late for our reservation and they were accommodating when I called to let them know! I enjoyed the crispy lemon chicken.

We had a fabulous dinner experience on my birthday. Walleye and salmon dishes were excellent, flavorful, fish cooked perfectly. Server was extremely friendly and attentive and gave us some individualized attention and help with special requests/needs (for the kids). Drinks were really well done - superb even. We enjoyed a lovely view of the lake from inside next to the windows. Complementary valet parking was terrific and extremely fast. No complaints at all - except I will admit the band playing inside was not the best. Pounded out some well-known songs, not always in tune or sounding amazing, but live music is always fun regardless I suppose? We will definitely return. Overall a fantastic experience!

Went for a work social. Starla our server was wonderful! Good food, delicious cocktails. I would have given 5 stars for the food but who puts feta cheese and balsamic vinegar on watermelon?!?!

We went for a late lunch on a Friday in April. The restaurant was quite empty, and we got a table nicely overlooking the lake waters. Food was very delicious; we enjoyed the meal with beautiful lake views.
