    The food was tasty, presented well, music was fabulous but didn’t appreciate 2 of the wait staff talking right by our table about other wait staff . We didn’t feel this was appropriate nor did we need to hear their conversation about someone not doing their job. Lovely view of the water , comfortable seating

    Over the years the Pier has been our go to place for an enjoyable evening or holiday dinner. Easter Sunday 2025 was a day and time we were going to visit the pier. First, the menu was mostly a brunch type selection. That was fine, not anticipated but ok. My steak and eggs, a staple menu item was way overpriced for two eggs and a very small breakfast steak. The crab cake was good and desert (peanut butter pie was very good. One cocktail each. $145 for in essence breakfast and a mimosa . I get it costs have gone up. One cannot beat the atmosphere at the pier but the quality of the menu must not be outpaced by the price.

    The location is scenic right on the harbor. They had a special for Valentines Day - $69/person. The portion sizes were huge. I felt they were too much. I would’ve preferred a half-sized portion of salad, main entree, and dessert for a lesser price. A half-sized portion would’ve been more than appropriate for an adult. The server was very attentive and polite. I would dine here again, just not during a special such as this.
