| - I took my boyfriend here as a surprise dinner for his birthday. It was our first time here, and definitely won't be the last. The glass elevator takes you past an aquarium and into their main dining room. We were promptly sat at a table with an amazing view of Cleveland's skyline. I was very worried that we wouldn't get a good table, which is why I moved my reservation time up to 5.
We ordered a couple of drinks, which by the way, the wine list is wonderful! The bread and butter/pesto they serve is definitely a plus...gotta love good bread and butter! For appetizers my boyfriend had 1/2 dozen of Blue Point oysters, which he said were awesome. I'm a vegetarian and never have liked seafood, so I was a little worried that my food would be mediocre, since they specialize in seafood. This definitely wasn't the case. I had the Autumn Greens salad, which was nicely dressed and had just the right ratio of greens, nuts and cheese. For our entrees, my boyfriend had the Blackened Hawaiian Mahi Mahi which was served on top of purple Peruvian mashed potatoes and finished with some avacodo salsa. He really enjoyed it, which I could tell since his entire plate was gone within 6 minutes or so, hah. I ordered the vegetarian tasting plate, which consisted of thin slices breaded Japanese eggplant, escarole, and lemon and thyme gnocchi, all topped off with marina sauce, parmesan, and basil oil. I LOVED it. The eggplant was breaded perfectly- not too thick or thin and defnitely not soggy. The marinara sauce complimented the eggplant and the delicious gnocchi. The portion was very generous as well, which is always nice to see. The only critique I have was the temperature... it could've been served a little hotter. It wasn't cold by any means, but definitely was piping hot. Perhaps it sat in the window before my boyfriend's dish was done? Either way, it was still wonderful. For dessert we had the dark chocolate mousse cake, which was pretty good. Nothing spectacular, but it definitely wasn't horrible. It went well with our Irish and French coffees. Our server was pleasant and answered any questions we had about the menu.
We definitely enjoyed our meal and the overall ambience and experience Pier W offered. The skyline kept getting better as the night went on, which was definitely fun to watch. It almost felt like we were on vacation in someplace like Boston, considering the great view and the water in front of us. I highly recommend this place for a nice special night out. I can't wait to go back again.
