Disappointing to see ZERO social distancing attempt from staff (no masks) and tables squished together. If someone walked in with COVID, workers and guests would easily be infected. Could not in good conscience suggest anyone go there until after the pandemic is over.

Amazing view. Great atmosphere!

The sea bass was exceptional! The service was top notch also! Thank you for a nice evening.

I was VERY disappointed to see that no staff was wearing masks....it was not the norm that we encountered in Fontana. All other places we went, the staff we’re wearing masks. Additionally, when we arrived (early dinner at 4:30) almost every table was empty except one. Instead of promoting social distancing, the hostess tried to seat us right next to them. I had to ask to be distanced to one of the many empty tables. Shortly after we arrived, a few other parties came in and they seated those guests directly next to us instead of trying to space out (there would have been plenty of space to do so). We have been to Pier 290 quite a few times and like the atmosphere, but we won’t be back anytime soon, given their lack of simple precautions. It’s very irresponsible for both staff and customers.

Great service, great food, perfect view of Lake Geneva!

Father’s Day. Great service and atmosphere. Food was good but kids pizza came burnt. Everything else was wonderful

First time there and I will continue to go back - Great Place PLEASE DONT EVER CHANGE VERY NICE PLACE !!!

We are very satisfied with the service we had. Our server was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. We have been at the restaurant several times throughout the years and love the ambiance.

Bring back the bratwurst and the flank steak sandwich.

Wonderful view and temperature. Staff was excellent. Attentive but not overbearing. Food was delicious- crab cake, cheese curds, and especially the turkey sandwich with cranberry chutney. Pricey but worth it!

Fathers Day

We made reservations for Father's Day celebration and my husband was thrilled we were seated right away and outside to enjoy the view of the lake, boat docks and boat launch. The staff were very happy to be working again. Our wait staff service was excellent!!! Beverages as well as menu items were served as we ordered and the ambiance was a relaxed environment. We were able to really enjoy the whole mid-day experience. I recommend this location to all my friends and family as one of the premier locations if you want an upscale but still relaxed beach dining experience. This is a true gem of location and I always have great service and food. The drinks are always as ordered. I love the valet parking. It really is a location and experience my family and look forward to when visiting your region of Wisconsin.

Best atmosphere in Lake Geneva! Great food and a great price!

Enjoyed the outdoor seating but way too loud. Food was good. Service average.

The ambiance is exceptional on the front deck. Service was lackluster and portion size on a filet is smaller than one would expect at this price.

Great outdoor restaurant in Lake Geneva / Williams Bay Area.

We really enjoyed Pier290 as a nice escape from Illinois. The food was delicious and the attention given to us by our server was wonderful. Although I enjoyed my lunch immensely, I thought the price was a bit on the high side for the small portion I enjoyed. That being said, it’s a place to go to when you want to get pampered and not walk away feeling stuffed. Already looking forward to returning.

Lovely outdoor dining area. Excellent food and friendly service. The only downside was that the speakers outside with the lunge singer were really loud. At times it was difficult to share conversation. If I wanted that vibe, I would choose to eat at the bar.

Abysmal service. Our server was either incompetent or poorly trained. Ordered drinks and said we were ready to order food as it was 1:30. Server said he’d be right back. Didn’t see him again for almost 20 minutes. Ordered apps and lunch. Server then went to the table next to us and took their order. Server never came back for second round of drinks. After 40 minutes, I flag down a busser and ask what the deal is. Server came over and said food was coming, then left before we could order drinks! Food arrived ice cold (oh, and the group next to us that ordered after us got their food 10 minutes before we did). My chicken breast must have come off of a baby chicken. For $15, it was $4 worth of chicken. Asked for the check and was given another tables check for over $400. Our bill was close to $250 which is insane for lunch and drinks.

Pier 290 is a great spot for ambiance but the awful service and average food is a shame. Go for a drink. Go elsewhere for food. Hey

Very nice, great food, even got a free desert for anniversary. Definitely a do over.

Great meal, view and service for a casual but upscale night out on Lake Geneva!

We had the most adorable waiter. Her name was Kathryn.
Everything was great but she made it better.

We visit Pier 290 4-5 times a year and always love it. We just visited in mid-June and were a little shocked coming from Illinois to see no restaurant employees wearing masks or gloves. In fact, we did not see any additional sanitary precautions nor is there any attempt at distancing the tables more than usual. We did not feel comfortable at this point and will wait awhile before returning.

Beautiful views. Great food! Family friendly

You can‘t bet the location and water views. It’s a bit removed from Lake Geneva which is nice. The service was great, we didn’t feel rushed, we were able to completely enjoy ourselves.

Mini vacation. Found this place online. Great location on water. Quick drive from downtown lake Geneva. Had steaks. Would try the fish next time. Would recommend to others.

We enjoyed our experience, but felt a bit uncomfortable because no one working there wore masks. The waiter did not social distance when he took our order. We thought the tables were not 6 feet apart. We know that the rules in Wisconsin are kind of lax. We come from a state that is very strict about following the rules.

We have enjoyed dining at Pier 290 many times over the years; and this was our first visit in 2020. We brought guests and all 4 of us were raving about our meals. The quality, presentation, and flavor of all of our meals was outstanding. The service was very good. And, outdoors on a perfect summer day., the ambiance was unbeatable.

Great food, service and view. Portobello mushrooms and short rib outstanding! Never disappointed

Loved sitting on patio. Felt distant enough from others for social distancing. Next time would love to sit outside on the little sand area

Loved the atmosphere, staff, Food and being close to the Water. Everyone was having a great time. Will come again.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner at Pier 290. The hostesses all went out of their way to be accommodating. Our server was excellent and had a lot of patience. The food was excellent. The view is gorgeous. I recommend this for a special dinner.

Great experience!! Lovely atmosphere
Lovely food ! Lovely people

Wonderful! Great service, wonderful atmosphere and delicious food.

We loved our food, drink and service. We sat outside, which we requested, but walls were zipped shut and live music was so loud that it was extremely difficult to talk over. Loved the vibe, just wish I could have had a more relaxing conversation with our guests.

Average Food
Expensive
Would not recommend due to price vs food quality

Fodd and service was very good. Sat in the outside area with the “flaps” down due to rain and it was loud.

What a wonderful place to enjoy a meal and the atmosphere. Drinks were delicious, food was tasty, forget the cheese curds, nothing special. Our service was excellent. Look forward to coming back.

We went here for a birthday and cancer-free celebration. It was our first time out in three months. Everything was impeccable. It was like we were in Martha’s Vineyard on Geneva Lake just 3 miles from our cottage in rural Wisconsin.

A fine time had by all.

Lovely dinner and experience! Enjoyed the new burger on the menu and the salmon. We will be back for sure!
