Great food and ambiance. Service was a little slow, but Nick jumped in and did a great job in moving our meal delivery along. Tripletail entrees were delicious as were the bacon wrapped scallops and lobster bisque.

Whenever we find ourselves in the area, Pier 22 is our top choice for dining. It consistently exceeds our expectations. The breathtaking view of the water sets the perfect backdrop for our meals, and the food is always a delightful experience, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is equally impressive—attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. It truly is a standout spot that never lets us down.

Enjoyed cocktails and apps in bar at happy hour and then enjoyed early bird dinner at a lovely table overlooking the water in restaurant. Our waitress, Jessica, was very attentive and delightful. Our meals were delicious and plentiful; we took home 1/2 our meals to enjoy the next day. We’ll definitely be back!
