Description: Pier W, a landmark Cleveland restaurant, has been serving a critically acclaimed seafood and contemporary menu since May 11, 1965. Having recently undergone a $3 million interior renovation, the new Pier W resembles a sophisticated luxury liner cantilevered over Lake Erie offering dramatic views of both the Lake and the downtown Cleveland skyline. We would like to request that shorts, flip flops and baseball caps are not worn to the restaurant.

My boyfriend got himself in a world of hurt by taking me to this restaurant for our anniversary! It was PHENOMENAL! I actually ordered a large steak with a leek & mushroom duxelle. It was the most palatable thing I have ever tasted. I am considering ordering the duxelle as a side "to-go" sometime soon! My boyfriend got the diver... More

I wanted to love everything about this place - from the neat location and phenomenal views to the classy interior and expertly cooked fish. In almost every way imaginable, Pier W hit it out of the park. But they made a pretty noticeable error in my dish, that I think warrants losing one star. I'll get to that in a... More

Went here for Father's Day brunch yesterday, disappointed! My husband's favorite (Bouillabaisse) was rather bland, included unpeeled shrimp, roast beef was dry, veggie dish was greasy, very poor selection on dessert table (who wants dry mini cakes) no fresh omelets, eggs Benedict over cooked. The salmon and the rice dish was excellent, several people in our party (7) enjoyed the... More

Even the entrance to this restaurant is exciting ...it beacons from the parking lot towards the lake.... then you swoop down hovering just over the lake with an unobstructed view of Erie and Cleveland's skyline...this is just the begining of a fabulous experience! The dining room is very carefully and artfully designed with quite effective and attractive floating sound baffels.... More

Going down the glass elevator into the restaurant was a great start to the lunch. We had reservations for 11:30am, right when they open for lunch, and we were seated promptly at a large, beautiful table by the windows. The view was breathtaking from any angle, especially of the city across the water. The waitress was extremely professional, and very... More

Ideal place for a special occasion because the setting is so exquisite. The view of Lake Erie is beautiful and extremely romantic. Try their Lobster Bisque. It's to die for! Also if you go their during happy hours, many of the drinks and food are at half price.

Our reservation was for 7:30 PM on a Saturday night. We arrived on time and were seated within 5 minutes of our arrival. We had requested and were seated by a window. The service was prompt, impeccable and professional. The view of the Cleveland skyline at dusk was just beautiful. We shared an appetizer of the Pier W sampler with... More

One of the few restaurants in Cleveland that I would recommend to anyone. Some of the best seafood I have had in the area. FRESH. Very good service. Terrific location on Lake Erie which is rare.

My husband and I ate here for our anniversary. The view of Lake Erie, and downtown Cleveland is beautiful. Our meals were delicious, we had tuna, and stuffed shrimp. My pumpkin creme brulee dessert was perfect. The service of the staff is amazing- attentive without being overbearing. It was a wonderful experience.
