Great place!!!5/19/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat for our anniversayGreat food, better service and a view that can't be beat on the north shore.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMfood and service was awesome!!!!food and service was awesome!!!! my husband took me for my birthday on may 10 and we enjoyed it so much we took my mom for mothers day.5/13/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing!!I always come here with my boyfriend so we decided to take my mom to brunch and she absolutely loved it!! We all loved it!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's Day diningHard to grade on such a busy dining occasion as the crowd of families certainly raised the noise level over the rom. But conversation was still easy at our table. Service was good, wine choices were good, all entrees, salads were quite good. The lobster bisque was outstanding. Desert easily large enough to share and the mini-dessert just the perfect size to cap a lovely meal. Views of the lake shoreline are striking even in unfortunate weather and the determined sun offered us a lovely view, with dramatic lighting, of downtown Cleveland's skyline as the evening approached.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGood for kids and special dayWe went for brunch on Mother's Day. It is nice to be able to go to a restaurant with an awesome view, very good food and still be able to take you children with you!5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBeautiful setting for a night outMy wife and I celebrated a wedding anniversary at Pier W and were very pleased with the service, food, and environment. The restaurant's claim to fame is the view (which is spectacular), but the service and general layout and design of the place made the atmosphere as well. The food was very good, though perhaps did not distinguish itself from other fine restaurants in Cleveland. The setting is really what sets this place apart.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMOur server was outstanding,Our server was outstanding, she was very knowledgable and helpful with items on the menu. She made recommendations and suggestions and answered all of our questions and she did not steer us wrong. Of course, the food was delicious, and prepared perfectly, but our server made the evening spectacular!5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat restaurant!Love that place, we go there every year for my Bday and we ask to be seated by the window because it has a great view on the lake. It's nice to see the sunset if it's not cloudy and their seafood plates are excellent.5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Special Occasion!A great place to have a special occasion with family, friends. Great food, choices. Million dollar view!5/9/2013 12:00:00 AMHappy 20thI really appreciate the staff giving us a table at the window and the special anniversary dessert. We love the food and the service. The lobster bisque was especially delicious. We have both had the lobster bisque at Tavern on the Green in NYC several years back, and your recipe topped theirs by far. It was literally the best soup we have ever eaten. So our compliments to the chef!!!
The only complaints I would make is that it was much too loud and many people were dressed informally. This took away from the ambience of the restaurant. However, the restaurant can not do very much to stop the behavior of immature guests.5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMWow!I took my mom to Pier W for brunch and was very impressed. The view, the food, the service were all amazing. Even the brunch desserts were fantastic. Go early, it gets more crowded after 11am. Definitely going back for another special occasion. Oh and the price is very reasonable for all you get. Great selection and options for all!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMFabulous view and great food, too!Pier W is our go-to spot for romantic celebrations. We've been enjoying it for decades. The food, view, ambiance and service never disappoint! Their seafood is always the best but over the years my dietary needs have changed. My hubby still loves the seafood and I appreciate the vegetarian/vegan options. Our server, Melanie did a great job in making our 40th anniversary a special one!5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMOur favorite spot!I have been coming here for years, and have always, always enjoyed it. My husband and I come here for every birthday and anniversary. We'd come more often, but we travel an hour to get there! Always worth the trip. Before they redecorated the dining room, the best seats were by the window. Since they've opened up the dining room more, there isn't a bad seat in the house. Clemet the wine steward always takes good care of us, and our favorite server is Amos. I am in the restaurant business myself, so when I get the rare chance to go out, I want to make sure it's going to be a great experience, and at Pier W, it always is.5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMBusy placeFood was very good, though a bit pricey. Service was outstanding. We'll be back for another visit in the near future.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMSpecial night outGreat view of the lake on a clear night; just wish we had a better table to take in the view! Food was excellent and our waiter was knowledgeable & attentive but not obnoxious. My husband's surf and turf was excellent. I tried the fish special (golden snapper) at the suggestion of our waiter. It did not disappoint! Dessert was the sampler tray which we shared; it was very tasty and just enough not to feel too full.
We'll definitely be back for another occasion. Pier W is not inexpensive but the food, service and view justify the night! Add in the great piano player who mixed old standards with a David Bowie song and everyone was happy!5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMNew light in my moms eyes.The ambiance alone was breathtaking. Our server was clean! (fingernails included) My mother and I felt like royalty. The service was so distinguished. The used dishes were removed in such a timely manner. The visual on the food was so beautifull you hardly wanted to eat it !! The Chef was a real charmer, he even brought out a sample of a new fish we were curious about.I am definately a foodie and I am an excellent cook......but if I could.... I'd eat @Pier W seven days a week ! You will love this place! Right around the corner from wherever you are in Cleveland.Price point....24.00- 75.00 {just right for an unforgettable experiance.}5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat meal. Perhaps the bestGreat meal. Perhaps the best fish ever. Excellent service from our server, Erin.5/3/2013 12:00:00 AMAlthough the food and serviceAlthough the food and service were both great and the view is always spectacular, I was disappointed with the table we were given. The hostess staff, knowing full well this was our 36th anniversary and thus a romantic evening for my wife and i, sat us at a table next to a party of 9, 8 of which were guys. Although well behaved, they were virtually eating with us as the tables were very close to each other. I didn't realize this until they arrived so perhaps if I had said something we could have been moved but you would think in light of the occasion we were celebrating, we would have been given a more private, more romantic table. Several appeared to be available.4/30/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was fantastic and weFood was fantastic and we had an excellent server. Even though the day we dined it was cloudy and drizzling, the view of downtown was great. Will go back again and catch the view on a better day!4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place for special occasionMy husband and I had Sunday Brunch at Pier W to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food selection was fantastic and our server was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive but not overbearing. We never felt rushed. We recommend the Sunday Brunch to anyone looking for a classy, relaxing way to celebrate a special occasion.4/28/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoyed the dining experience.Enjoyed the dining experience.

FromPier W is the best!!! From the service, to the food, to the views!!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMI have never had anythingI have never had anything but excellent food at Pier W. The fish is phenomenally fresh and beautifully presented. The service was excellent but not overbearing. There is no view quite like Pier W.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMPier WThis has been my 4th time at Pier W and it was just as exceptional as every other time. I will continue to go there because I love the scenic view of downtown Cleveland and the outstanding food. Whether you get the seafood or the steaks they both will blow your mind on how well they melt in your mouth. It is expensive but for the quality of every aspect of the place it is well worth the price.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMA Very Happy Birthday BrunchWonderful experience. One of the best brunches I have ever attended. We were celebrating a birthday and they really made it special.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe restaurant is in a niceThe restaurant is in a nice location, with a spectacular view of downtown Cleveland and Lake Erie.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMOur second brunch at PierOur second brunch at Pier W was just as good as the first. We were greeted by the courteous and welcoming hostesses, shown to our table with a stunning view of downtown Cleveland and Edgewater Park, and served by gracious and helpful servers. The quality of food was excellent, and the selections available for brunch were wide-ranging and offered something for every taste. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and will definitely be making return trips for a special meal in a special setting.4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile we had to wait for ourWhile we had to wait for our table the wait was worthwhile. We had a window table with a magnificent view of downtown. The food was great. From lobster bisque and short rib pierogi, to the poached pear salads as starters, to the short ribs, lobster papardelle and filet mignon for entrees. The peaches and cream dessert was wonderful as well. It was a great evening.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMMy wife and I made our firstMy wife and I made our first trip to Pier W for our anniversary on this past Saturday. We didn't get there early enough to get a window seat, but still felt our location on the edge of the 2nd level seating was great! We really enjoyed our food and finished it off with a dessert sampler that was terrific too. We have in the past discussed going there for a dessert and or sitting at the bar. I think you will see us again in the near future. Thank you!4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was my first time atThis was my first time at Pier W for dinner. I had high expectations based on the ambiance, view and price. The only thing that fell flat was the food. I had surf and turf. It was very good, but my filet was a bit over cooked. I am not one to complain so I didn't give them a chance to fix it.4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were celebrating a specialWe were celebrating a special occasion, and made a reservation for brunch at Pier W. The selection encompassed both an extravagant breakfast, as well as a lunch with outstanding selections. We split, two of us ate breakfast, and one of us ate a hearty lunch. Everything we tried was delicious. The only caution I'd give is to get a reservation earlier than the 1PM we chose. Most of the selections were still bountiful, but some of the selections were running low (notably the mussels). Overall, Pier W's staff handles the very busy brunch time with efficiency and humor, it's relatively quiet, and the view is spectacular.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMWe arrived early for our dinnerWe arrived early for our dinner reservation so we enjoyed drinks and appitizers in a booth in the bar. As our reservation time approached the hostess kept us aprised of the approximate wait time. Knowing that we were waiting for a window table we were seated with a view of the city across the lake. Our waitress was pleasant and service was timely but not rushed. I ordered the salmon on a cedar plank. It was cold on the plank side,warm not hot on the plate side. Upon mention to the waitress she sent the manager who quickly took my plate and within no time I had a new plate with a hot and delicious piece of salmon. Dessert was comped & our selections of strawberry infused cheese cake and chocolate cream puffs were delicious.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMThe service from the momentThe service from the moment we walked in was excellent. Our table was ready right on time. Shawn our server was very attentive and helpful in explaining food items and making recommendations. The food was delicious and the portions generous however we finished our meals and still had room for dessert. The view of downtown Cleveland and the Lake was an added bonus. We had a great dining experience!4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMIt does not get better than Pier W.We had not been back to Pier W for some time, but it is as top-notch as ever. I cannot think of another Cleveland restaurant that has the quality of seafood, the view, the service, and the ambience to compare. It was the perfect place to share a birthday dinner. My wife's strict dietary needs were addressed perfectly and graciously, without compromising the quality of her meal or dining experience. Many of the wait-staff seemed quite young, but they were professional in every way. Kevin was outstanding and efficient. We look forward to another excuse for a special dinner at Pier W.4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMBest service and food ever !Best food / service ever. Food was very tasty with eyerolling flavor, nothing was too sweet or too salted. Lots of choices. Service was excellent. I made reservations and was given what I would consider the very best table as far as the veiw from the window. Not that ther others were bad. I just felt that Pier W went beyond the call of duty to make our day special.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were very excited to beWe were very excited to be going to Pier W for the first time. It was even more exciting than we expected. The food was outstanding in presentation and very delicious
We were with another couple that are very paticular about where they dine and the quality of the food. They were very impressed about our experience at Pier W.
We will definitly return and recommend Piew W to friends and family. Keep up the good work.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWe celebrated our 36th weddingWe celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary and everything was great!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMThe MOST AMAZING PLACE IN OHIOI visited this AMAZING restaurant for my 1 year anniversary. It was absolutely great. The food, the service was spectacular. Let me not tell you about the breath taking is the scenery. My boyfriend felt in love with the place so romantic. Great selection of wines. I can't wait to go back. This is a must visit.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food, service, atmoshphereI have been to Pier W quite a few times and decided to take some of my team from work there. They are all foodies including one person who is an Executive Chef. We were lucky to get a table right next to the windows (they cant gaurentee a window table, but if you get there early you can usually get one and its worth it). The server (Amos) was supurb, he had a vast knowledge of the menu and the timing of the food was perfect. The evening we went they had a special on some of their wines and it just so happened our favorite wine was on special. The food was delicious, my only wish was that they had some off menu specials...its always nice to have a few specials to hear about. All in all it was a great evening and I would recommend!4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMsomewhat disappointedwhile it was brunch on Easter Sunday, I thought they would go out of their way to provide something special ... the food was excellent, as usual for the Pier W Sunday Brunch, but for the additional $5 per person charge, it was lacking that something special.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMTook my parents for theirTook my parents for their 66th wedding anniversary on Easter Sunday. Could not have been nicer. Food delicious, service flawless and friendy, atmosphere delightful.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMThis was our first visit toThis was our first visit to Pier W. We found the restaurant itself to be very nice, and we were lucky to get a a table with a nice view, at least on my wife's side of the table. The service and overall ambience of the place were excellent, but, honestly, I'd give the food a B at best. I ordered the chopped salad, my wife the mixed greens with poached pear salad. For our entree, we both ordered the scallops with garlic gnocchi and spaghetti squash. My salad in particular had way too much dressing on it. The scallops were tasty, but the rest of the meal looked and tasted as if it had been prepared hours earlier and then warmed up to be served later. Even the dessert (an assortment of little cakes) seemed less than freshly made.3/30/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I had a wonderfulMy husband and I had a wonderful anniversary dinner.

The piano player was amazing also with appropriate selections to add to the experience.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMServiceBrunch at Pier W is an experience. All levels of service were very good. The food was exceptional. The view of the lake was perfect. I would recommend the brunch for anyone who enjoys eating.3/24/2013 12:00:00 AMBirthday BrunchDined at Pier W for Sunday brunch with husband for 54th birthday, joined by our two sons ages 20 and 27. Mimosa or glass of champagne included with each adult brunch, though not for the 20-yr-old. Enjoyed the live piano music, but it seemed a bit loud at times, though our table was pretty close to it.
Lots of seafood--hot and cold shrimp, raw oysters on the 1/2 shell, delicious bouilliabaise (spelling?), mussels. Eggs Benedict with a runny yolk--hard to find on a buffet! One type of sushi offered. One small, fresh begignet served, very good; probably could have asked for more.
Restaurant has apparently recently undergone a major facelift. The place was beautiful, with views of downtown.
