I absolutely enjoyed our entire experience dining here for my daughter's birthday.They helped make her day magical and very special. The best chowder that I have had the pleasure of enjoying in decades! Our server was phenomenal and knowledgable all while being friendly. I am so sad to hear that they are closing soon as I only just discovered them. I truly hope I will have an opportunity to visit again before the shut their doors for good. Thank you for such a great afternoon! :)

I went to Pier 7 just celebrating a milestone with my new job, and the staff was amazing! They gave us champagne and a desert on the house, and our waitress was so sweet, I don’t think I caught her name unfortunately. They sat us right by the water and it was such a lovely evening! Highly recommend ☺️

Good beef carpaccio. Lovedt he arugula on top of the beef and the fresh bread that came with it. Good New Zealand white wine when sharing a bottle where you can get 2 glasses for the price of one drink. Good affogato too!

The food and service were great. We were a table for 4 and ate from the Happy Hour and Patio menus. The fresh oysters were delicious and a bargain at $1.75, calamari, fries platter and rigatoni bolognese were also delicious. The Saturday night music was the 360 band. Great music but a bit too loud for the size of the venue. Service was excellent as always. Will miss Sanjit our server who is leaving soon.
