   The mariachi music from the kitchen was louder than the dining room music. I would expect better from a place of this caliber.

   Amazing oysters, incredible service. I had the scallops and best I’ve ever had. Our server was knowledgeable (like oyster expert) attentive and fast. We will be back!!

   Excellent food and atmosphere. Very convenient to Fieldhouse. We used valet parking which was super easy. Ethan was an excellent waiter. Will definitely return.

   We were going to a concert at Gainbridge and thought we might have a nice quiet dinner at an upscale restaurant nearby to Gainbridge, and Pier48 is right across the street! When I went to make reservations the closest time to the concert start was 4:30pm. When we arrived there were only 2 table being used and about 8 people at the bar. When we left, about 6:00, there were still many many tables empty. Why we had to be there so early is a mystery unless it's Pier48 protocol to pretend tables are filled? In any case our waiter was new, and although nice, he was clearly not sure of the menu/food offerings. The menu had several sandwich and fries type of entrees ad only a few upscale items. Also, the menu said one thing, and what we received was different. Not bad, just different. The Mrs. had scallops, and she offered one to me, and what I had was barely fried on the outside, and soft and kinda gooey on the inside. I had the ribeye and it came out as ordered, med. rare, but the outside of the steak had some kind of spice that was meant to be spicey but not a good flavor. To finish off the meal we ordered coffee and the banana bread pudding. The size of the dish was huge, and was well plated, but it certainly was not bread pudding. it was a firm banana bread cut in two wedges, with a dollop of ice cream and some whip cream between the two wedges. There was a slice of a banana on top with a caramel drip on it. Again, not bad but A) not something we would order again, and B) not what we ordered. I was embarassed as I had told the my wife that Pier48 was upscale and she dressed the part. However, she was the only person in the place wearing a dress. Nothing but t-shirts and jeans. Even the waiters were wearing jeans. I wear jeans all the time but I thought we were going upscale! Now we know, Pier48 is a great location for a place to get a burger before a Gainbridge event, and although not a cheap date, certainly not upscale. My mistake.

   Service was nice and attentive despite a busy concert night. Food was just ok. Nothing amazing that I would return back for. Good place to get food before an event due to it's location.

   The deviled eggs were brown (pickled i guess), the pork belly had a funny taste, an oyster smelled outright bad. Overall was very unimpressed. Our waitress was really nice though!
