⚓Friday Favorites ⚓

One of the most rewarding aspects of running a restaurant isn't just the delicious food we serve—it's witnessing the special moments created around our tables.

From first dates and family dinners to celebrating milestones, catching up with friends, or watching the sunset over Lake Monona, we're grateful to be a small part of your memories.

Every Friday, we'd love to celebrate what makes Breakwater special to you.

Maybe it's your favorite menu item, your go-to beverage, the rooftop view, or a tradition you've created with family and friends. Whatever keeps you coming back, we'd love to hear your Breakwater favorite!

As a small thank-you, we'll randomly surprise one guest who tells us what their favorite thing about Breakwater is with a $20 Breakwater gift card. We'll announce who was selected on Monday.

❤️Thank you for making Breakwater part of your story! ❤️

Here's to another beautiful weekend on the lake! ⛵
