They also serve pizzas. My sister and I have dined here three times and the service has always been excellent, I like the wasabi tuna and the blackened grouper. My sister enjoyed a perfectly cooked steak. There is a large outdoor seating area with water views. /the ability to "walk in" is unpredictable so I would suggest making a reservation to be safe.

My 2 guests had the special which was blackened mahi with pineapple fruit sauce which they loved. I had the hamachi sashimi which is wonderful. Peanut butter pie out of this world. One of my guests is a chef who also makes peanut butter pie but says his can’t compare with pier 22. Can’t wait to come back!
