    Went there for Mother’s Day and I definitely recommend it! The food and the ambience made for a perfect brunch! And the people who work there were the cherry on top! They were all so kind and accommodating.

    Sidewalk seating is difficult. Uneven, wobbly chairs. Everything else was fine

    Ate at Pierside once. Prices a little higher than downtown, which to be expected given location. Poke nachos were great, and the cali sandwich was good. The cuban sandwich was way too salty, and I like salt! Average for food, but nice location for seaview.

    Everyone was friendly but do not go if you’re expecting attentive service. It’s very much chill beach vibe type of service which was frustrating for us on a special occasion. Our glasses of wine took about 15 minutes to come out. They were out of two of their appetizers as well as three of their entrees, even on a Saturday night. They completely forgot a rare filet entree - there wasn’t a check-in and we had to flag the server down (and even then she asked how everything was even though I clearly had zero plates in front of me) I’m a local and had never been here because I always felt it touristy - my intuition was correct.
