Fantastic meal for all four diners! Wonderful front of house greeters! We had a lovely patio table with a beautiful sunset. The mahi tacos were exceptional! Key lime grouper, pappardelle, and salmon BLT were all devoured as well. We will return often! Perfect location before a play at Asolo Rep!

Whenever we find ourselves in the area, Pier 22 is our top choice for dining. It consistently exceeds our expectations. The breathtaking view of the water sets the perfect backdrop for our meals, and the food is always a delightful experience, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The service is equally impressive—attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home. It truly is a standout spot that never lets us down.
