Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar The Village

My experience at this establishment was pretty good. It isn't a fancy place, but I was served some delicious food. They could use a few more servers, but the ones working last night were always busy and helping customers. Our server was friendly and helpful and brought us what we asked for in a timely fashion. We started with the calamari which was pretty good, loved the crispy batter it was fried in. For my main meal, I ordered the seafood boil with 1/2 lb snow crab, 1/2 lb shrimp, and 1/2 lb sausage, 1 corn, 1 potato, and 1 egg. I got it mild with the garlic butter. It was a lot of food and so delicious. I will definitely return.

The hostess/waitress threw our menus on the table, then we asked for a highchair she slammed that in front of the table! Waited over 10 minutes to be asked what we wanted to drink. Got our food I wanted non spicy yes the receipt said non spicy, but my face was burning! But when another set of customers came and got seated she was polite asked them what she could get for them asked them if they would like some appetizers, what they would like to drink etc completely different attitude! I’ll never go their again!!

Our server was very kind and helpful. He is the only reason I am giving 3 stars. The owner who also cooks the food sent out cold food to our table after we waited nearly an hour. The restaurant is understaffed, with only 2 servers and one person seating tables, bussing tables, and managing to go orders. The owner/cook refused to fix the food that he sent out cold. Will not be back.

The first time I came an hour before close and called 8 times and couldn’t get an answer so I had to order and wait inside. I decided to try it again tonight and again over a hour before close I called 6 times and couldn’t get an answer so I drove 37 minutes out to come order in person. The man who came to help me at the front stated they had no host and still took my order , but when he went to the back to turn it in he said he chef had already left for the night ( it was 10:30 , 30 minutes before close) and there was nothing he could do. As we were talking the chef walked back in the front door and said “ no more “ meaning they weren’t taking anymore orders. Not only did I drive almost 40 minutes, but I’m pregnant, high risk and very sickly I just walked out disappointed and crying. This

Our first time here and although the food was good but the service was beyond terrible. Our server, Josh made us wait 10 minutes to ask what we wanted to drink and 20 minutes to order food. He had a negative attitude and never came by to check on us until it was time to go.
