    This is our second time at Pier W in the last couple of months and this one was really not nearly as good as our first trip. The service this time was not great. On multiple occasions our server just ran off mid-sentence from our table, chaotic and strange. No notice that she had to go do something, she just darted off in the middle of sentences telling us about things on the menu, etc. It was VERY weird. I've never had anything like that happen before. It made the whole experience very chaotic and a very off experience. It was also much louder in the restaurant than the last time we were there. It was difficult to talk to the person across the table this time. We brought a couple family members who had never been to the restaurant before, so it was not really up to what we expected it would be to celebrate their birthdays. This was a disappointing experience overall. The food was absolutely delicious, so no question there. Just very odd service this time. Will definitely come back, though (but will request a different server).

    The brunch, as always ,was exceptional. The bouillabiase was not as tasty as usual but everything else was wonderful. The cheeseboard had numerous selections from cow,goat and sheep. The salads, as well as the fish, fowl, and beef were numerious and wonderful, and the deserts were excellent.

    We love dining here. Beautiful atmosphere, great food and service is always top notch. I was disappointed this time that our server did not tell us that when we asked to have the crab cake appetizer as an entree that it came with potatoes and green beans. We ordered a side of potatoes and a side of green beans so we ended up with far too many. Also, having crab cakes as an entree was an additional $21 which is fine but really didn’t need to order the additional sides to go with it. Overall we had a fun night, would go back.

    First time at Pier W, overall excellent experience; from initial greeting to dining experience. All food, appetizers, lunch and dessert, just delicious. Lunch menu limited to four entries, would be nice to offer more options. The view of Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland area from dining area just spectacular. We will return.

    Fabulous food matched with spectacular views of Cleveland and Lake Erie from every table! The atmosphere was inviting from the moment you enter--live piano and endless views with an intimate elegant layout. I had the lobster bisque--it was a perfect starter and the serving was the most unique I had encountered! The tuna was out of this world good---the sesame crust gave it a whole different dimension. Finished the meal with the sorbet trio--all made in-house and just splendid. The entire staff was friendly, happy, and knowledgeable. Our server Teri, made great recommendations. This was one of the finest dining experiences I've encountered. We will be back!

    The atmosphere is always excellent. We went on the deck to take photos of CLE skyline after dining. The staff is amazing as is the food. The rack of lamb was juicy and delicious. It was seasoned perfectly. The crab cakes were light and not oily. Perfect as always.

    We arrived early for our 7 pm reservation so we waited in the bar. Piano music, good drinks, great service. At 7 pm we were seated in the dining room overlooking Lake Erie with the city of Cleveland in the background. Our menu had “Happy Anniversary” written across the top as we were there celebrating our 35th anniversary. The service was impeccable, the food delicious and the ambiance perfect. This is truly a 5 star restaurant in my opinion. They do everything right! Perfect for that special occasion.

    Lovely experience. Marvelous food and service, although surprised and sadly disappointed how little pride others take in their appearance these days. Mixed bag of torn jeans and tee shirts to scantily clad ladies with clothing two sizes too small. Not the Pier W I remember.

    My husband and I went for the Sunday brunch to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We arrived and were immediately taken to a seat that was by the stairs, kitchen and walkway. I explained to the hostess that we requested a window seat with our reservation. She said that seats are first come first served. They why are special notes allowed for the reservation app? She said we could wait for another table to open up. Yet there was an empty table right by the window. My husband and I went back by the hostess table and waited for another table. Ten minutes go by and we are seated behind the empty table that is right by the window. I was upset but tried to make the best of things. Our server greeted us and was nice enough. We tried the options on the menu and at the buffet. Nothing really blew our socks off that we had to have again. To add insult to injury there were three young ladies who were seated well after my husband and I and the manager came and greeted them and held a long conversation with them. Funny thing is, he was standing there when I asked for a different table and was trying not to make eye contact when I walked by a few time. Over all it was a underwhelming experience. The way so many different people talked about how great Pier W was I had really expected a better experience. This was my first visit and my last.

    The food was excellent. Service was very good although we had to ask for a wine bucket then place our bottle of wine in the bucket. The young server said” oh you can put your wine in the bucket.” The server asked if the wine was cold but who drinks white wine that quickly? The room was full so being loud expected. We did get our window seat or at least close to the window. Experience was good.
