Lakeview Tavern and Grille 249 W. Main Street, Branford, CT 06405
From steak to seafood, Italian to American, our extensive, versatile menu has something for everyone. Come join us for a fine dining experience in either of our inimate dining rooms, or grab a quick lunch and appetizer at the bar. Dishes like our exquisitely presented lobster ravioli and New York strip will keep you coming back, but our pizza and chicken wraps have earned quite a following as well! You can go wait an hour to eat an overpriced meal elsewhere in town, but you won't be doing your wallet, taste buds, or patience any favors. Owner and operator Paul Allegra has been in this business for over twenty-five years, and there's reasons for that; Quality product- Reasonable price- Great service- and above all, loyalty to the customer.
Kitchen hours are 11 am until 10 pm Sunday to Thursday, and 11 am until midnight on Friday and Saturday. Daily dishes compliment our extensive menu selection.
Warm weather months bring a patio dining option as well.
Lakeview Tavern and Grille offers a great place to unwind after a long day of work. Free snacks and drink specials every weekday....and best of all? Cool people!
Elegant yet affordable- Lakeview is here to host your special event of up to 75 people. Christmas parties, birthdays, anniversaries, business and union meetings are among the many events Lakeview hosts on a regular basis. Two fireplaces enhance the coziness of Lakeview's event area in the winter months. We can structure a menu for every taste and budget! Find out why Lakeview is the choice for those that demand quality, affordability, and peace of mind.
Lakeview provides delicious and affordable dishes for all events, day or evening, seven days a week. Pick up your items at the restaurant, or we will provide on site services for you. Order off of our catering menu, or we will custom prepare your request.
When it comes to sports, Lakeview is best known for the best free Monday Night Football buffet around (wings and several additional items that vary week to week, like the plentiful spread shown below).
But did you know we also have Katie, the shoreline's resident Red Sox expert, tending bar every first shift? Don't get me wrong, we have just as many Yankee fans as Red Sox fans, but man is she a trip! Remember baseball fans, spring is right around the corner, and we will show every Yankees, Red Sox and Mets game all season long.
We set out the sports pages of New York and Boston papers every weekday (In addition to the New Haven Register), so if you decide to sit in the bar area for lunch or a cocktail, you can catch up on the latest box scores, trades, point spreads, ect.
We show baseball, football, hockey, and basketball- day and night. If there's a game on that you want to see let us know, we have plenty of hdtv's and we'll be happy to tune your game in. We show all UCONN men and women basketball games, even those not on local cable. We don't want you watching the game at home by yourself, we want hanging out with us- so come on down!
