The Beacon Restaurant & Bar - New American Near Me - Port Washington, Wisconsin

Best eggs Benedict I've ever had, outside of the British Isles! MAGNIFICENT! From the hostess, to the waitress, to the chef, to the exquisite way the eggs Benedict was prepared and presented...this restaurant looks after the details. It shows! We can't wait to return this summer!!! One of our very best experiences on this trip! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!!! Well-done, in every aspect! Sorry I'd half eaten it before remembering to take the photo - it was just THAT AMAZING!!! read more

The Beacon Restaurant & Bar - Almost gone. Not forgotten!!!! - New American Near Me - Port Washington, Wisconsin

Average restaurant with an average water view! All in all a good experience, the staff were very welcoming and drinks were good. Large specialty cocktail selection. We easily made reservations a few days in advance. The food was average and the view of the water was underwhelming but still better than no view! Our party enjoyed prime rib, ravioli, walleye, and Cajun chicken pasta. Each diner agreed their meal was average. Luckily, the prices were also average! I would come back given it's not super expensive, but don't expect a fine dining experience. read more

This place is way beyond the call of duty. We had a fast wonderful service. The view is espectacular, the brief time spent waiting for our breakfast was filled with Entertaiment since the current was strong, we saw Two boats fighting the current of the harbor right beside our table. Eggs Benedict are awesome, hash browns are light and soft. The bagel with lox was beautifully presented (could use more salmon) excellent taste. read more

We ate at the Beacon 12/20/24. We have been there several times, unfortunately this was our worst experience. We arrived at our reservation time and seated immediately. That's where the good service ended. Ordered a cocktail and after 20+ minutes my husband went to the bar to retrieve it. I should have taken the lead of the table of 20 who went to the bar for their own drinks. Salad arrives with onions when asked to hold. My husband's dinner was requested without breading, could not be provided. My salmon was very good. Neighboring tables had to ask for dinner that never arrived, another that never received their soup. Many dissatisfied customers Friday night. My advise to future diners, eat at the bar. It may be the only place you do get good service. Sad... read more

This restaurant is attached to our favorite hotel, the Harborview. They have a great patio on the canal overlooking the water. We had Breakfast here last time, which was wonderful and this time we arrived early enough to have dinner. It's a nice laid back place with a great bar that always seems to have a fun local brew. We started out with the calamari ...because hey we were on vacation. Very tender and crispy, no complaints at all. I had the Perch fish fry and my wife had the Perch sandwich. Both were superb, perfectly cooked fish, not heavy or greasy. It was the perfect meal in a wonderful setting. The fish fry includes rye bread, potato and coleslaw, I finished every bite. We also then went back for breakfast the next morning, thay have a small simple menu but it's perfectly cooked, and I love their ham. Plus watching the sun rise over the water it a great way to start your day read more

The Beacon Restaurant & Bar - Half eaten excellent calamari - New American Near Me - Port Washington, Wisconsin

Great service as always, great appetizers( onion rings), great main dishes (cajun pasta, JUMBO fried shrimp). Beautiful views, warm, friendly, clean restaurant. Breakfast is also very good here. read more

The dinner menu is limited and they did not have everything that was on the menu (we were told that they had a supplier issue). It was not very busy. We arrived for an early dinner around 5:00 pm and left around 7:00 pm. During that time there were only three other customers. On the positive side, the food was good and the service friendly. The view into the harbor was nice. If it weren't for the limited dinner menu options I would have given the restaurant a higher rating. read more

We had lunch this past Saturday. Including ourselves there were 6 people in the restaurant occupying 3 tables so not real busy. After we were seated, we waited 10 minutes for our waitress to take our lunch order. Even though our drink glasses were empty for at least 15 minutes our waitress didn't come to our table until she brought our food which was 40 minutes after our order was taken read more

Mother's Day brunch buffet was good. Lots of selection. High quality. We came by boat and it was within walking distance of the marina.

Awful service. The food was OK, had it come out hot, it would have been good. But the service was horrible. We had a reservation and the place was not at all full, but the waitress just didn't wait on us. We saw her once when we ordered our food (25 minutes after we were seated), and then we saw her again when she brought the check. We were not able to order until 25 minutes after we arrived, and a couple that seemed like regulars, was seated after us, but they got their food and were half way through the meal by the time our waitress first showed up at our table. I asked the host and bus boys if we could order from them multiple times, but they told us the waitress had to. I am not sure what the waitress were doing, but they didn't seem interested in waiting on customers. As we were leaving the hostess gave up on the waitresses and started serving. The bus boys were bring out the food. No sign of the waitress. What a joke What a joke!! read more

Service was horrible. Food overcooked. Waitress ignored us as we waited to be seated. Once seated waitress said she would bring water, never happened. Order taken and delivered, we had no contact with our waitress. Again she ignored us, until she delivered the bill. We are staying at the adjacent hotel, so it's convenient. It's a one and done for us . read more

1. We asked to sit or hangout outside in the back by the water as we waited for an available table, but the hostess said that was only for people dining at that moment, which I find weird because as we got seated we noticed multiple unused tables out there. 2. We couldn't believe that the servers did not have their hair up in a ponytail or something, it was literally free flowing, which I've NEVER seen at a restaurant before!! That was a gross thought. The server we had took our order, brought our order and never came back again until we asked for the check. We saw her on the way out on her cell phone. 3. I had ordered a chicken dinner entree, not long before I left, I had bad cramps and as the night continued they increasingly got worse!!! It was bad. I realized it must be food poisoning! I will never recommend this place! It's unfortunate because they are in a prime location downtown in Port Washington. read more

Cute area with very nice views of the lake and park. The service was great and our server was very friendly. The food was delicious! Definitely would go back. read more

The don't allow your service animal even on the patio. It wasn't worth the debate, there was a beautiful park next door so we just went over there and at it as take out. Food was good but we wouldn't be able to go back due to the policy stated. read more

on 8-8-24. check your bag if you get takeout. spent 60 bucks and got back to the hotel to find they forgot my soup and salad. went all the way back and not even a sorry from the bar tender that took my order or what appeared to be the manager. no sorry. tipped 15%. felt disrespected and will not be back and recommend you eat somewhere else. read more

Excellent location and view. A variety of food to pick from, land or sea dishes. New owners and complete renovation of the interior. Perfect for boaters who are looking to dine on the dock. read more

A small, nice and friendly place with solid food. Great breakfast and a view of the lake. Prime rib on Saturdays and a good bar.

The Beacon offers good food for reasonable prices. We had dinner (shared a filet, baked potato, and salad) and breakfast (omelette and eggs Benedict) and both meals were well-prepared with fresh ingredients. Service was fine; portions were ample. read more

Enjoyed a delicious breakfast, the Captain's Plate. Our waitress Anya was very pleasant and professional. Located near the harbor.

Been here 3 times now, and during 2 of the 3, they messed up the order. Then, bring out the second of two entrees, 5 minutes later than the first, with cold hashbrowns that we not even cooked all the way. The other visit was a takeout, that was completing missing an order of pancakes. I called and was promised a credit on the next visit, but low and behold, the staff knew nothing about any credit in my name. In fact, they said they had no system in place for credits. I gave it two stars because we did have a good dinner on NY eve. read more
