| - My wife and I had our anniversary dinner here. The overall experience was delightful, but maybe the food was a bit underwhelming considering the price.
I want to emphasize how great the service is. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly (even though it was clear we were a bit out of our element). The rest of the staff was very welcoming and friendly throughout the evening. Our menu had a nice Happy Anniversary message at the top, and they included a nice anniversary massage on our dessert.
The food was great. We ordered 2 appetizers, the seared crab cakes and shrimp tempura. Both were delicious, especially the shrimp tempura.
I ordered the Chilean Sea Bass for my entree. It was tender and well-seasoned, served over rice with toasted almonds in it. My wife ordered Crab-stuffed Gulf Shrimp.
Both of our dishes were great, but I wasn't blown away. Granted, I'm not a huge fan of (non-ethnic?) seafood. I think the emphasis is on the quality of the ingredients and freshness of the seafood. I tend to like Chinese and Indian (heavily spiced) seafood. So, as stupid as this sounds, my Sea Bass entree focused too much on the flavor of the Sea Bass itself.
I would give Pier W 5 stars, because we had a wonderful time there, but the food doesn't justify the price in my opinion. If you like seafood (and have the money) please check this place out. The service and the ambiance are awesome!
