We had a wonderful time here for our anniversary. The ambience was incredible and the food and service were great! We got the cheese curds for an appetizer, and a seasonal pumpkin espresso martini to drink. Entrees we got the beef stroganoff and 290 steak stack. Both were delicious!
Our server (forgot his name!) was absolutely incredible and very kind. another server helped me find an earring when it decided to fall out of my ear under the table. The staff is just as wonderful as the food and atmosphere.

My bestie, and I had a fantastic time and the santa cruise around the lake was nice. We didn’t stop to eat but it looked fairly busy anyway. Maybe next year we’ll be able to give the restaurant a try.

Took a nice convertible ride out there. Majority of seating was outside (covered). You had to have a reservation in order to sit at one of the tables. The bar and hightops (around the bar 8-10 tables?) Were a first come first serve basis. We sat at the bar. Matt our bartender was attentive andhelpful with the menu. We got the shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. I got the blackened tuna sandwich; and he got the steak stack (double smash burger really). Was nothing special. Great atompshere by the lake. Little too pricey for us for what you really get.

Huge bar and restaurant right on the water, a ton of great seafood options and can accommodate large groups.
It was packed when we ate here on a Friday, but we had a great spot right out over the water.
Tyler was our server and even though we had a ton of big groups he was amazing and super attentive.
For apps we ordered the medium Cesar salad which was great (5/5), but I’d skip the French onion soup, was not worth $15 and there was barely any onions or cheese, it was basically broth.
For dinner we split the tuna and crab cakes,(5/5) both were amazing and I’d order them again. We were too stuffed for dessert but we want to come back and explore other options.
The walnut old fashioned was good but having sugar on the rim was weird, didn’t state on the menu it would have a sugar rim.

Went here after our boat cruise tour of Geneva Lake. We heard about this place and my mom remembered coming here when she was in college. It was an absolutely fantastic experience; the view of the lake was peaceful, the food was delicious, and the drinks selection was very good. If you order fries or chicken, get the 290 sauce!!! It’s so freaking good!!

Stopped here for drinks and dessert and loved it. The environment is the selling point with great ambiance and views of the lake. The inside bar and decor is a cool nautical theme. The live music was great. Service was good and drinks were top notch, a definite place I’ll return to in the area.

Everything about this experience was top notch. Our server had excellent input on what to order. The Fall ravioli was the perfect portion and flavor. The carrot cake was a nice way to finish the meal.

Pier 290 has a genuinely strong atmosphere and interior character. The restaurant leans into Lake Geneva history in a way that’s really well done–photos, cruise captains, and memorabilia throughout. I especially enjoyed the Lake Geneva Playboy Club items.
That said, the overall experience didn’t match the price point. We went today around 2:00 PM as a party of two, and service was slow despite only about five other occupied tables. The biggest issue: we were initially brought the wrong bill (another table’s), and after about 15 minutes, we ended up having to find someone to correct it.
Food was average for the cost. The fish tacos were fine but nothing special. The meatloaf was a single slice with less than a cup of potatoes–felt sparse on the plate and could have used another side or component to make it feel like a complete entrée. With one glass of wine, we were around $60, which would be easier to justify if the service and food execution were sharper.
One note: while it’s “on the lake,” the views are fairly limited at lake level–you mostly see piers and the cruise boats–so for us the main draw was the ambiance inside. Unfortunately, the ambiance couldn’t make up for average, overpriced food and a service miss.
If you go, go for the atmosphere–just set expectations accordingly on value and service.

We really enjoyed this place. Very nice restaurant with a cool vibe. Right at the Marina with a great view of the lake. We sat out side on the water, but plenty of seating in side and a covered outside area. Our waiter Zach was great. We had the Scottich salmon and the Summer pasta with Shrimp. Both dishes were delicious and then finished it off with the Pistachio creme brulee.
