                                            Went to Pier W for dinner recently. The restaurant is right on Lake Erie so the view is incredible. I always get a fantastic meal at this restaurant. We got both the Salmon on menu and they had a Salmon special. Both were delicious. This is a great restaurant for special events.

                                            Piew W is such an institution in Cleveland, and it always feels like a special place. The ambiance and view were great. But the food this visit was a little lackluster. The food options just felt very average; cooked salmon options were average, prime rib was under the heat lamp too long; salads were a little limp; breakfast meats fine; potatoes fine; the shrimp and oysters were probably the best thing offered but hard to make a meal out of. Still a special place but three of four of us left wanting more upscale options to match the price.

                                            Had the porkchop, which was like eating rubber, not enough flavor. The twice baked potatoe was super dry. I saw our waitress share with the manager that I was not happy and he pretty much shrugged his shoulders. The $15 cocktail was a joke. Not sure what all the hype is all about.

                                            We were a party of 4, who have had a long experience with the restaurant. It is a classic and has maintained its tradition for fine dining throughout the years. As always the service was excellent. As to the food, the presentation and taste were exceptional. Overall an outstanding experience!
