Overpriced Brunch
Overpriced Brunch. Poor value at $35/person. Limited menu since remodeling and basically the same footprint. They moved the bar & stuck a piano player right in the crowded middle where the food was. My first impression was, where's all the food? There was a paper thin roast beef carving station, where you had to beg for a decent slice but no ham or turkey as in the past and this was just about the only meat. There was a cajun chicken dish but it was dry and tough. There was breakfast sausage but no bacon, for a brunch! Along with a small plate of grocery store prosciutto slices and salami that was it. Even the sea food was lacking. There was no breaded fish, no lake Erie perch as in the past, just smoked salmon and forked size pieces of smoked kippers. There were salmon cakes & patties - too much salmon. Shrimp were small - 30 cnt size. The cheese, all 3 varities, tasted like they came from a Kraft variety pack of cubes. No special cheese as in the past. The eggs benedict were over cooked with hard yokes and again paper thin Canadian bacon slices. And don't expect anything approaching a salad bar. There was a small bowl of pre-mixed caesar salad and a small bowl of mixed greens with about 6-8 toppings. You had to pre-order an omlet & there was no waffle station - just soggy limp waffles in a steam tray. The rest of the dishes were nothing to write home about! The desserts were good but gone were the full size chocolate cakes and such. Everything except for the bread pudding was served up on little dishes. Cheese cake, custard, pudding and little pieces of chocolate cake. Nothing decidant and mouth watering to be sure. Our server was good and removed dishes & replaced silverware, however, she only offered orange juice as a beverage. The coffee was so strong you couldn't drink it & I like expresso. It tasted like it had been brewing for hours. Bottom line at $112.00, before tip, for three people, we felt like we had been ripped off. Try elsewhere.

Fresh catch!
My husband and I are huge seafood critics and Pier W, BY FAR, has the freshest seafood we have ever tasted. For starters, we had the calamari and the lobster bisque, our favorites and the best in the city. For the main course, we had kona kampachi, a hawaiian white fish that we have never tried before, but our server insisted that it was awesome, and it was! i had the kona kompachi and my husband had the hibachi tuna. If you like sushi grade tuna; this will become a favorite. Go there and ask for either Scotty or Jackie; you won't be dissappointed!!

Pier W
The atmosphere and level of service were excellent. The food was very good. The Pricing was horrendous on the dishes offered. One Martini ordered as Stoli on the rocks $9.25 Birthday surprise One cup of ???? for one. About the size of a small cup of yogort. We will not go back soon, Rather go to Salmon Daves, Barcelona and so on on on.
