                                            Food was great I ordered a cocktail it was amazing I would have loved to have had another but I was never offered. We never got a refill on water. My date asked twice for bread to go with her meal it never came. We were looking forward to trying a dessert as well but we’re never offered that either. The view of the lake was beautiful

                                            Dined solo this evening and was genuinely impressed by the service. Chloe, my server, not only remembered my (admittedly picky) order from a previous visit, but brought a level of warmth and attentiveness that made the experience feel personal and thoughtful. Truly exceptional. 🍽️✨

                                            from the moment we walked in, it was terrible. had reservations for 7:15, didn’t get seated until 7:35. server didn’t come greet us til 20 minutes after we were seated. everyone around us were eating bread, we had to ask for bread to our table. our meal came out, we both ordered the pork chops. i started to cut in mines.. & i just raw pork chops right there in my face. manager came out apologized and said i’ll b getting a fresh one. they brought me back the same pork chops, cut into. so disappointed in this restaurant. never again.

                                            I had an enjoyable experience at Pier W. The food was good—well-prepared and flavorful, though not particularly memorable. What truly stood out were the stunning views of Lake Erie, which added a special touch to the evening. Service was satisfactory, though not exceptional, and the restaurant itself could benefit from a refresh or remodel to match the quality of its location.

                                            We love the view at the restaurant. We have eaten there multiple times before and had good experiences. This time we went for the Sunday brunch. What we got was not worth the very inflated price. I also ordered an omelette that I did not receive until we were ready for the bill. I recommend skipping the brunch.
