    First the good parts, our waiter, Jim, was attentive and very friendly, making sure that we were taken cared of. The drinks were good. We went to the restaurant for Sunday brunch. Double Mimosas for $9 and Bloody Marys for $6, which were priced well. We ordered a premium dirty martini which were $14 although you have to pay blue cheese olives for $.50. For a premium dirty martini one would expect the blue cheese olives to be included in the price since it’s included the brunch drink price. Food from the brunch selections were fairly good. We ordered shrimp & grits, seafood omelet, and sausage and potato frittata. However, the chicken penne pasta for $26 was a let down as the chicken was not fresh and tasted like packaged chicken from a food store’s refrigerated section. We could have skipped dessert but decided to try few selections, peanut butter pie, carrot cake, and chocolate bread pudding. Of the three, we ranked the peanut butter pie on top for its taste, although it was served frozen. None of the desserts tasted made fresh as advertised.

    Terrible food, not even a simple cheeseburger, fry calamari you need a magnifying glass to be able to see it. I ordered a french dip, the meat color was grey and the taste was awful. Manager a total amateur!!

    We were seated by the water which was very nice. I have an allergy and the manager came to talk that through with me to make sure there would be no issues. That was really nice. We were able to get our drinks, and after a long wait, our cauliflower pizza which was good. We then ordered a wedge salad. After waiting long enough to see other tables order and receive full meals we just asked for the bill. We were there for almost 2 hours and literally had sangria and a cauliflower pizza. Not sure why our service was so slow, but it certainly felt like it was us specifically who were singled out.

    This is a large waterfront restaurant with a large selection of seafood but plenty of selections for meat lovers. They also serve pizzas. My sister and I have dined here three times and the service has always been excellent, I like the wasabi tuna and the blackened grouper. My sister enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak. There is a large outdoor seating area with water views. /the ability to "walk in" is unpredictable so I would suggest making a reservation to be safe.

    Great! Particularly good service as our waiter was training a new person and both were extremely attentive and pleasant. My 2 guests had the special which was blackened mahi with pineapple fruit sauce which they loved. I had the hamachi sashimi which is wonderful. Peanut butter pie out of this world. One of my guests is a chef who also makes peanut butter pie but says his can’t compare with pier 22. Can’t wait to come back!
