    Kimberlee was fantastic! Perfect blend of insight on the menu and not being too much of an interruption at our table. Roasted oysters, crab cakes, pork tomahawk with green beans and mashed potatoes were outstanding. Mac n cheese was dry but the bourbon butter cake more than made up for it!

    We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day on Pier 22’s fabulous patio on the river. My 2 friends and I were celebrating our 70th birthdays together. Our lunches were truly delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We loved our delicious Peach and Blackberry Sangria’s. Topped by the views on the water which are so serene. The restaurant treated us to an excellent piece of birthday cake which was excellent and so pretty. Thank you Pier 22 for making our 70th birthday celebrations very special!!

    We had another wonderful dining experience at Michael's on East, and because of the delightful weather we enjoyed our meal in the lovely outdoor atrium beneath the twinkling lights We decided on the monthly Epicurean menu, so this month we enjoyed menu options inspired by the cuisine of South Africa - what a treat! We always enjoy the regular menu options, but it is so special to be able to enjoy flavors from around the world as an alternative. The food, as always, was freshly prepared to order and every bite was delicious. The recommended wine pairings made the perfect match The service at Michael's on East is always wonderful, and this time was no exception - so many thanks to Freddy, Katie and the rest of the team for a wonderful service that added greatly to our enjoyment of the evening.
