I was nervous about taking my girlfriend to this restaurant after some recent reviewers recommended against it. We had the perfect night there.

This is a nice restaurant. All staff were elegant and eloquent, white linen service, exceptional food, and spectacular view.

Don't get me wrong, I like the Pier, but something felt out of sorts walking through the carnival atmosphere of the pier to escape into the restaurant for... more
