Make the reservation. It was very busy so service was slow but once ordered, food came fast. Drinks were good. We were in an alcove, not the main dining room so those waiting at the bar crowded our space which was annoying. The garlic cheese curds were delicious. They came with a white sauce. My friend had the salmon piccata which she said was okay and the rissoto was good. The wall eye was fried well but it has bones I guess I should have expected. Otherwise, it was a nice meal, good prices, good drinks. In warmer weather there is more space outside to relax. read more

This is probably my favorite place in town for brunch! I wish my experiences at The Getaway were all consistent. I've been for dinner and the food was decent. I've been twice for holiday brunches and I wasn't impressed. However I did go to brunch last weekend and I was blown away by the service and the quality of the food. read more

The food here is good, but nothing too out of the ordinary. I kept it simple with a pork chop which I would recommend! The clam strips weren't my favorite, since they didn't taste very meaty and some of the pieces were just fried breading. I plan to give a different appetizer a shot next time. The atmosphere is recently renovated, but the old charm of the restaurant that used to be in its place is really missed though. Also note, THE VIEW OF LAKE COMO IS STUNNING! The best part of the experience was the drink I had (a spiced ginger pear old fashioned). Their seasonal cocktail menu is just fantastic. Finally, our server was quick and attentive. We dined in on a Sunday evening and I'm hoping to try their breakfast soon. read more

The Getaway is a charming, cozy lakefront restaurant with nice views of Lake Como. There is outside seating if you prefer, as well as bar seating. The server was welcoming, friendly and attentive. The cocktail and wine menu has lots of good choices. As a pescatarian I appreciated having salad and fish options, although there are plenty of options for meat lovers. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

For any dog owners this establishment says dogs allowed however no emotional support dogs are allowed and the front hostess will explain the FDA regulations for what is considered a therapy dog. Understandably the establishment has the right to serve whomever but it would be best to clarify this for future owners so it does not confuse the general public. Thank you! See photo referenced from the establishments Yelp page attached. read more

The getaway is a cute house on the lake with some great food. The views of the lake we had were beautiful. Our waitress was very attentive as well. First off, the appetizers?! Yummm. We had mussels (the broth was to die for) and the goat cheese and honey (a sweet treat). The salads were delicious too, with croutons made of crispy fresh bread. Now onto dinner, I had the shrimp Diablo, and my mother had the fried shrimp dinner. It seems like this place knows how to do seafood, that is a fact! And the shrimp Diablo was the perfect amount of spice. I didn't have to chug half of my water while eating it! definitely give this place a try if you love seafood, views or just a cute place for a date night. read more

Out standing place , great food and wonderful staff ! Great location and the steak I had was to be one of the best in town !

We have been to the Getaway for breakfast and it has always been great but this was our first experience for dinner. We made reservations at 6pm for our anniversary with another couple. We requested a seat by the window for the lake view. We arrived at 5 and wanted to grab a drink. The bartender was very busy filling orders for the restaurant but he was still kind and attentive. We grabbed our drinks and headed down by the lake. The back patio with all the different levels is a great space to hang and be by the water. We headed up around 5:45 and the hostess was very kind and they said our table was ready. We were very pleased with our table and they were able to accommodate our request with a great corner table right at the window. Our server was very busy but again took care of us. I specifically liked that she stayed calm and just took care of everyone the best she could. While I respect servers that run around like crazy trying to cover everything, it can make the dining experience awkward. Her being calm thru the chaos, made us feel all was good. Our apps came out, we got the crab cakes and the bread and oil. I highly suggest both. The crab cake was meaty and not all bread crumbs like you can get other places and the bread was sooooo good. Our dinners were next, at the table we got the tuna steak, halibut, prime rib and linguini and clams. All wonderful and cooked perfectly. The halibut was in the top 5 fish preparation and taste I have had. The side of the night was the garlic mashed, I highly suggest. We didn't do desserts because we were just too full. We will definitely be back and highly suggest. read more

Saturday 2/28/26. a bad day. maybe the Chef didn't come in day and who cooked our breakfast you just hired. 3 of the 4 orders hard burnt and blackened toast and English muffins! We had ordered butter with all but didn't get any! Maybe they read the order as "burnt"??? Nobody was watching what came out of the kitchen and the waitress should have never brought what she did to our table. Maybe we were there around 11:45am and by then no one cared about the service anymore??? We had some good meals in the past, but this probably was my last visit. Alan read more

Such a beautiful spot on the lake with just as great food and drinks! We got a nice seat by the water and enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers. I started with the spicy margarita, and this was one of the better ones I've had! So fresh with a nice kick to it. I also had the rhubarb rosé, which was an interesting refreshing spritz. We got the oysters and mussels to start, and both were huge! The oysters were the biggest I've seen and still super fresh tasting. The mussels were in the most delicious spicy sausage broth. We were so full after just the appetizers but also had the fish fry- this cod was so tenderly flakey and of great quality. My Caesar salad was a little too drenched but everything else was spectacular. Loved this cute place! read more

We stayed at the French country Inn and this restaurant is attached. We ate dinner and breakfast here. Ambience is great as you can see from the pictures. If I had one request, it would be that they had outdoor lights fixed down toward Lake Como do you can enjoy the view while you eat at night. Great service and large portions for both meals. read more

OMG -- what an amazing night at Gateway Restaurant in Lake Geneva! The food was absolutely fantastic. The stuffed meatball? Out of this world! I was there with my husband, my brother, and his wife, and we all had such a great time. We went on a night with live music, and it was the perfect touch -- truly wow. Combine that with the beautiful view, and you have the recipe for a perfect night out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, good vibes, and a memorable evening in Lake Como!! read more

Fast service, great staff, and felt very homey. Food was a bit expensive but very worth it!

Everyone needs to give this place a try. Warm environment with friendly, competent service and excellent food! The big resorts in the area are fine, but the French Country Inn and the adjoining Getaway Restaurant are an inviting alternative giving a cozy, comfortable vibe in a lovely atmosphere. Enjoy! read more

The drinks, ambience, and service were excellent. I suspect if you order the wrong thing, you will be disappointed. The fried fish and seafood bisque were very good. The risotto side had no flavoring, no salt, no pepper, no wine. It was just a goopy mass of rice. read more

We dined at The Getaway on a Monday night. There was supposed to be live music that night but they cancelled due to illness. This was not the fault of the restaurant and was the only flaw in the evening. We arrived before our reservation to have a couple drinks at the bar. Bartender Jason was friendly and knowledgeable and recommended the perfect glass of wine for my husband and I. We were then seated by Gwen who had a lovely sense of humor and we were served by David. Food was delicious, cooked properly and fairly priced for what you got. We finished the evening in the bar with Jason who made me a fun smore style after dinner drink. We will be back next time we're in the area. read more

Service was good. Food was good. The food and beverage menus were dirty with caked-on food stuck to both. The table was dirty and the wax was peeling. We were served a beer in a pint glass that was chipped. The appetizer plates came out dirty. read more

Wonderful environment, great service, great food. It's a bummer that their prices are not listed on the online menu.

We came on an extended family trip to Lake Como and were looking for a fun spot to head out to dinner one night. We had 4 littles and 9 adults and we were thrilled The Getaway was happy to accommodate us. We sat at 2 tables next to each other on the expansive patio that overlooks the lake. We started with a round of cocktails (& food for the kiddos). All cocktails were delish and strong! You definitely get your money's worth. We moved on to several apps - the ricotta & cheese curds were a fave, and the fresh oysters were huge! We loved all of our apps. When it came to our mains, we were a little underwhelmed after how great the apps were. Everything (fish & steaks) seemed a little overcooked. Also, for the one vegetarian in our party, he had to go through 3 menu items before he found something they were not out of (at 6:30pm on a Friday...). We were a bit too full for dessert though it all sounded great. Our servers were great and so friendly. Would recommend to anyone in town. read more

I eat at the Coffee Cup a few times a week. The food is great, service is spatular. The owners are working the restaurant along with their professional staff. Prices are a few dollars lower then other like restaurants in the area. I highly recommend the Sharon, Wi Coffee Cup. read more

Wow-the Getaway is the place for a perfect meal. Came for brunch and had the crab benedict which was amazing! Great service with a smile. Hubby had the biscuits with chicken and huge portion and delicious and then followed up with a drink at the bar. Beautiful spot off Lake Como with gorgeous views and ambiance. Fireplaces in each eating area with a nice bar and even an outdoor eating area when it's nice out. Can't wait to boat across the lake in the spring. (To work off all the yummy food). Will be back! read more

Never had a disappointing experience here. The view is terrific and the food is excellent. You won't be disappointed.

Nice lakeside location in a French country inspired restaurant. The staff is attentive and the food is good. The dinners a great and the full bar will help you relax overlooking to water. The breakfast menu is good, but the pancakes leave a lot to be desired. Worth a visit in the Lake Geneva area. Great option if Mars is full. read more

This was our second visit to this restaurant. First time was last year, a friend had stayed nearby and recommended. Overall had a good experience in regards to food, service, and enjoying the sunset on their patio. It was a nice change compared to busy Lake Geneva, so we decided to go again a few wks ago after a boat tour. Such a different experience. We did get a window seat, but the view obscured by lots of dead bugs on the outside. Also got sat right by air vent, it was freezing. Asked to move but waitress guilt tripped us saying we wouldn't be in her section. We hadn't even ordered yet, so ended up blocking air with my purse. I ordered the Halibut which came out warm, bland, and dry. Got a lemon garnish instead of actual slice so couldn't even cover it with juice to try and make it better. Thankfully my boyfriends pasta was decent. I ended up eating some of his. Didn't bother with sending fish back, just wanted to finish and leave. read more

We had an amazing meal! This was my second time here and I came back for the prime rib! Started with a blackberry martini. Martini. Sweet but very good Calamari was great very unique flavor. we both thought. Crispy coating served with a seafood sauce. Definitely would get again. Spinach salad was as usual incredible. Needed another dressing that Kim happily brought. Prime Rib was a bit fatty but delicious. Baked potato was delicious, I know it's just a potato but it was great! Broasted chicken was great. So glad the broaster was fixed! I felt it was a bit salty but my husband loved it. He had the seafood bisque, creamy with a spicy kick. Kim our server was super attentive and food was served in a timely manner. It was a busy Saturday night but perfect service. We will be back!! read more

Had a taste for oysters and they delivered! Good price, great big oysters, and fresh enough to make me think I was on the Gulf coast instead of Lake Como. Their fall cocktails are delicious as well loved the spiced pear old fashioned! Cat is a great server, too. Thank you for a great night out! read more

We have been here many times as we,spend a lot of time in the Lake Geneva area. Our party of 4 arrived around 5:15 (without a reservation) and was seated at the last table near the exit door. We received menus, water and the promise that our server would be right with us. Fast forward 20 minutes that our server would be notified we were waiting. Nothing. After waiting for 45 minutes with no service, we left. If we had even been acknowledged, it would have been a little less irritating. We definitely will not be back. read more

What a view and experience. We had Peyton, she was very knowledgeable and personable. We sat outside at sunset you can't beat the views. Our favorite was the Italian Pork Chops which Peyton recommended. Every dish was on point and made our taste buds water. Can't wait to go back ! read more

HORRIBLE experience!!! Called ahead and asked about specials they said on the phone they had half priced appetizers and drinks from 4-6. When my party arrived at 5 they said they were no longer doing that special. We asked to sit in the bar and they told us they would not serve food in the bar and we were sat in the back of the restaurant. We then noticed people in the bar were being served food. We asked the manager and they said if we don't like the service THEN DON'T COME BACK! We won't be returning- as well as anyone else we know. I've worked in the service industry for over 10 years and am shocked! How embarrassing for this restaurant owner. read more

I absolutely love The Getaway. A few months ago myself and a few friends came for dinner and it was so beautiful! We had a table inside right by the big window with a view of the water and the food was amazing. We recently came with a large group for brunch for my brother's bachelor party and everyone was so kind and accommodating. Everyone in the party loved the food and the live music was such a fun touch. The vibes were great. I love the patio/outside seating. I cannot wait to come back! read more
