Summer at PIER 290 isn’t just about lakefront views and golden hour cocktails; it’s about fresh seasonal flavors designed for long lunches, sunset dinners, and everything in between. Our new summer menu has officially arrived, featuring chef-driven dishes, vibrant coastal inspiration, and elevated favorites perfect for dining the water in Lake Geneva.
Fresh, Flavorful, and Made to Savor
Seafood lovers will have plenty to dive into this season. The Seafood Ceviche combines Gulf shrimp and seasonal fish with cucumber, tomato, yuzu, and aji Amarillo for a bright, refreshing start to any meal. For lunch by the lake, the Lobster Roll returns with chilled Maine lobster tucked into a grilled New England roll, while the Fish Tacos deliver crispy beer-battered fish topped with mango salsa, avocado-lime crema, and pickled red onion.
Seasonal Favorites with a Lakeside Twist
Heartier entrées bring bold flavors to summer evenings. The 12 oz Prime New York is char-grilled and finished with Gage compound butter, while the Honey-Miso Salmon features Scottish salmon marinated in miso and honey, then roasted and served with grilled fennel, leeks, sesame-roasted green beans, and a coconut-lime beurre blanc for a light yet flavorful seasonal entrée.
Summer produces shine throughout the menu. The Grilled Peach & Burrata Salad layers local arugula, crispy prosciutto, candied nuts, and champagne vinaigrette for a fresh seasonal pairing. The Watermelon Stack balances sweet watermelon, goat cheese, balsamic, and fresh mint for a light shareable appetizer made for patio dining.
Lunch, Brunch, and Dinner Favorites
Whether you’re arriving by boat or settling in for a leisurely brunch, the summer menu delivers crowd favorites throughout the day. The Beef Tenderloin Sliders is served with black garlic aioli, arugula, and toasted brioche buns with Parmesan truffle fries, while the Blackened Tuna Sandwich combines cool remoulade, avocado, and house seasoning on a toasted brioche bun.
Weekend brunch also returns with summer staples like Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, Summer Blueberry Pancakes, and Avocado Toast topped with herbed ricotta, local honey, chili crisp, and a fried egg.
Sip Into Summer
No summer at PIER 290 is complete without a cocktail in hand. The Dragon Fruit Paloma delivers a refreshing mix of tequila, dragon fruit, grapefruit, and lime, while the Mango Mojito blends fresh mint, mango purée, and Bacardi for a tropical escape. Guests looking for something bold can try the Hibiscus Margarita with Fortaleza Blanco and house-made hibiscus syrup or cool off lakeside with the Watermelon Mule made with watermelon vodka and ginger beer.
Whether you’re coming for the food, the view, or both, PIER 290’s new summer menu is reason enough to plan your next lakefront escape.
