We were there to celebrate my fiancé’s 24th birthday, and from the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, starting with a warm greeting and a surprise birthday acknowledgment for my fiancé. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with the calamari as our appetizer, it was the best I have ever had. I got the Grilled Mahi as my entree and my fiancé got the Chef’s special (Swordfish). Both dishes were above and beyond. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into each plate. What truly stood out, though, was the personal touches. At the end of the meal, the staff brought out a complimentary dessert for my fiancé. We also enjoyed complementary champagne with our meals. This was our first visit, but it certainly won’t be our last. Pier W made this milestone birthday celebration absolutely perfect, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. If you’re looking for amazing food, stellar service, and an unforgettable experience, this is the place to go!More infoPier WPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lakewood•4.8
- MMichaelCleveland / Akron / Canton •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWent for our anniversary dinner and the restaurant exceeded expectations. Excellent drinks, food, service and ambiance. Lamb meatballs, wagyu, and strip were all great and I’m not a pie person but will be getting the pie there every time we visit. Rozalind our waiter and Josh the chef were great to interact with. If you’re on the fence about trying this place just go and you will not regret it.More infoRood- LakewoodPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Lakewood•4.8
