My wife and I enjoyed our dinner and the excellent service by Juan. He helped us get the most from our dining experience. We had drinks and four appetizers, They were all great but the lobster tostados were fabulous. We didn't have desert as we were stuffed by our great meal. We will be back again and will ask for Juan.

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 a nice dinner with an attentive waitress. Pleasant atmosphere. The Burrata was delicious and the bisque had nice texture and good lobster meat. We had the Parpadelle with crab and Alfredo - the lump crab meat was plentiful in a flavorful sauce. Highly recommend as well as the Veal Massimo which was very rich and came with veggies. The sauce was delicious. Finally we had the lemoncello cake with raspberry sauce - simply divine. The whipped cream is worth it alone on the side. Chef came by to check on us as well. We had a lovely time thank you.
