    We had one of the best fine dining experiences at Pier W. My husband is on a very restrictive diet and I eat extremely clean. Our server, Samantha, was absolutely outstanding!!! Once we told her about our dietary needs/wishes, she immediately suggested we customize our dishes. We did and the chef did an awesome job! Samantha is as pleasant as she is knowledgeable. The atmosphere is amazing and everyone we came in contact with seemed happy to be there! Thank you for the experience!!! Can’t wait to return!

    Overall the lunch experience was good. I loved the caesare salad and had the walleye fish for my entré. I enjoyed the fish but not so much the gnocchi. The romesco sauce did not add much to the dish either. I should have had the shrimp in the garlic cream sauce instead. I'll have that next time.

    Great brunch menu. Food was excellent - the cinnamon bun was sinfully good. Service was perfection. The non-alcoholic beverage choices, for those who do Dry January, was great. The noise level was minimum even though it was fairly crowded.

    Very good first experience. Sea food tower was a bang for your buck, oysters were top notch and serving size was big. Even the ahi tuna amount was wild. Seared scallop dish was delicious, scallops big, juicy and flavorful. Will be coming back. Service was great as well drinks never ran low before being asked if we needed another.
