    We were seated at a great window table. The weather was beautiful, we wished we had requested to sit outside as the noise level inside was louder than in past visits. Of course, the establishment has little control over large happy parties. We will go back. Service was outstanding. Menu selection was varied.

    We had a very nice table in the patio which suited us as we had our dog with us. A very big storm came through and the staff were outstanding in ensuring we were safe and moved to a nearly dry location. My husband had Thai beef which was excellent and I had hamburger and salad which were very good. Will go back to try other items. You pay more for the food here which is a little high, but good quality

    One of our favorite spots…we always have a nice time at Pier 22. Breakfast/Brunch service has been hit or miss lately. They are struggling to get enough staff it seems like. But the view and the food outweigh the negatives with slow service. With that said, our server was polite and professional. She was doing her best to keep up with too many tables.

    Very disappointing. Jambalaya the seafood was fine but chicken and sausage not so much. Wasabi tuna is not even close to what’s advertised online. Note to chef escarole not a normal wok vegetable. You won’t find wasabi unless you ask. Overpriced as well. Won’t be back

    This was our first time dining at Pier 22. We arrived by boat, and there was ample dockage available. The food and service was good although a bit overpriced in my opinion. I guess you pay for the ambience. Other than someone leaving a tampon in a plastic bag in the captain seat of my boat, it was a good experience overall. Some people have no class.

    Food was delicious. View cannot be beat. But it took half an hour to get ice water and the waiter to bring us menus. He seemed to have too many tables and was very rushed. When I choose this type of restaurant, I’m expecting a nice atmosphere. We chose to eat indoors due to the heat and it was so noisy it made conversation difficult. We were very disappointed with the service and the atmosphere. But, if you overlook both of those, the food was delicious!

    , Limited menu, Mother’s Day, server was not personable. Empty plates sat on the table too long during each course, and it was leveling out to calmness I entrée time, so there was no excuse for the neglect…. my husband and I have done appetizers in the bar more times than the dining room prefer that.

    Service was slow. We had a booth next to the station where supplies were kept and it was pretty messy--not the best view of what I expected. I ordered the filet oscar and it had a tiny, and I do mean tiny, bit of crab on it. The 1976 salad was bland and was supposed to have egg in it, but did not. Really there was no flavor to it at all. Small pieces of bacon and a scant amount of tasteless dressing were on it. Not worth it! My husband had onion soup, it was good. He ordered the stuffed half lobster tail and it was good he said, and, a little bit bigger portion of lobster than he thought he would get. The best part of dinner was the Meiomi wine. We did have a view of the water but we were not next to the windows, which was fine. We were up on a little higher floor on the main area. My husband said he would try it again but I'm not so sure.

    Made reservations early for moths at brunch. Asked for indoor as we were coming with an elderly parent who uses a cane. Told no indoor seating but we would be under tent to avoid sun and in the even if rain we would be covered. Arrived and were seated outdoor with no tent covering us. It was difficult for the elderly person to get in inside to get food with the steps. We would go to get plates for her. Also had a 1:30 reservation on Mother’s Day and when we ordered iced cold brew and were told there was no more. And no iced coffee was available either. Then they ran out of espresso cups?! Unprepared for big crowd on Mother’s Day was a surprise. Also the clean plates were stacked but extremely hot. Had to ask for a napkin to put under plate as I went to get food.

    The service was excellent. Sitting outside by the water was fabulous. The food was not to the level of excellence I would expect from this restaurant. The sushi offered was not any better than what Publix makes. The fish cakes and chicken were dry. The melon was not ripe. The prime rib and green beans were the best part of the meal. When asking this price and including the tip… you need to do better on the food.

    Our Mother’s Day brunch was so awesome. I love Pier 22 anyway. Last year I brought my husband to the Father’s Day brunch. That was good too. But I must say Mother’s Day was the best! My 1st time eating out side there. Our waitress Abbi was so sweet. My grandson has autism and I had my 14 month old granddaughter there too. Abbi was our Shehero. Thank y’all for everything.❤️❤️🌹

    We were there for the Mother’s Day brunch buffet so I cannot attest to any items on the usual menu but the food and service were absolutely excellent. We enjoyed pre-meal mimosas and then set out to explore the extensive buffet. There were fresh fruits and salads, an omelet station, varied hot items such as all the regular breakfast favourites plus many specialty dishes. Prime rib, baked oysters, fish cakes, sushi and my new favourite: shrimp and grits! Afterwards we relaxed with coffee and some delicious desserts. The restaurant is lovely, situated on a marina. The complimentary valet parking was an added bonus as we have a family member with some mobility issues. Our servers were attentive and helpful with cheerful, friendly dispositions. Overall, a top notch Mother’s Day experience. I felt thoroughly spoiled! Many thanks.

    Ambience for outside dining along the river yet with plenty of shade was very good. Service was excellent. Kinda pricey for me so I would save this one for special occasions but worth it for those. The Mothers Day brunch was very good. When ordering off the menu for other occassions was also very good all around.

    Was a little surprised that a 20% gratuity was automatically added to our bill for a buffet. There were only 4 people in our party, so I know it wasn’t added for a large party. We got our own food, the waitress just got our drinks and refilled them. We are great tippers, as I put myself through college waitressing. So, we would have left a generous tip, as always. That’s the only comment I have…. The venue was lovely and food was very good.

    Because of Mother's Day week end they were very busy. They seated us in the small private dining room area. We had no view and the AC was freezing. It was a special occasion and I made my reservation 2 mo in advance. It was obvious they seated someone else in our spot. I really enjoy going there so we will return.
