| - Wow!!! Let me repeat that, wow!!!
First off, I'm not sure why anyone would say this place is too pricey. We had 3 drinks a piece, 2 appetizers, 2 entrees, and 2 deserts and our total was $150. 2 steak dinners and the same probably would have been comparably priced at Applebee's. Not trying to shell out $150 for a meal frequently but as others have mentioned for special occasions, Pier W is second to none.
Atmosphere: Amazing! Obviously the water view takes the cake, but on top of that I also love the cozy, intimate feeling of it being a small restaurant.
Appetizers: We got the beef short rib pierogies and the crispy pork wings. The pierogies were absolutely out of this world. I don't think I've her had better! The pork wings were equally delicious. The only thing I will say is that they were both pretty lukewarm, but it didn't make them any less delicious. We sat at the bar waiting for a window table, and it was happy hour so they were half priced. Also, the bread they serve while you wait was so delicious.
Drinks: Very reasonably priced. We also were able to partake in a round of happy hour priced ones which was awesome, but even beyond that the prices are on par with say, Ohio City. Would love to see a more extensive craft beer list though.
Entree: Husband had the beef short rib and I had the tenderloin medallions. Both were fantastic. My husband's literally fell apart and could be cut with a butter knife. Mine was great too.
Desert: cookies and cream cheesecake. To die for. Also got the Dublin coffee to split. It was okay, but not our favorite. It went well with the cheesecake though.
Service: it was okay. Our server was polite enough, but didn't pace our dishes apart very well and there were plenty of times if we weren't enjoying ourselves and the view we would have actually stood up to go get her.
Overall a great experience. Like I said, price wise it's great for a special occasion. That being said, we would definitely go back during happy hour for some half priced apps and drinks on a normal day - it honestly wouldn't be any more expensive than going to your average run of the mill dive bar. Pier W is great!!!
