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.

Found this place on a whim and was very impressed with the entire experience! The service was excellent and the menu had so many good options, it was difficult to decide. We settled on the signature steaks and were not disappointed! The creamed spinach is my new favorite I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place for a special occasion or upscale night out!
