Pier 88

Me & some girlfriends decided to go out for lunch this past Sunday 2/18/24. One of my friends suggested pier88 and I was excited because I had heard so many great things about the restaurant. We arrive and we immediately get a table which I loved. The waiter dropped the menus on our table and didn’t come back for 10 minutes before he asked what are we drinking. We ordered our drinks and they were phenomenal I had ordered a tequila sunrise. Whoever was behind the bar made the drink perfect! We don’t see our waiter Edward for another 15 minutes before we can put our order in for food. The food comes back fast though. Extremely grateful for that. I ordered hush puppies and a boil bag. Which I say was pretty good in flavor. After we at our food. We are ready for more drinks and relaxation. Now

I visit this location often. Usually for the atmosphere and the views from the table. My go to meal is chicken wings in 88 sauce, but this time I added the noodles with it. If you’re wondering, yes, it comes in a boil bag. Delicious and feeling!

I love the food at Pier 88 hands down but the last few times I came for take out and the young short lady with the blue in her hair, was not mean, but she was extremely blah. She wasn’t welcoming by any means and non helpful to my questions. Major turn off when you in this type of business. Nevertheless, my food was cooked perfect and was delicious. My professional suggestion is that they just kindly remind their front hostess or greeter that this is customer service and it should be just as important as the quality of food. Hopefully the next time I return this will be improved.

R&B, Hip Hop, marked up walls, and crabs, overall a chill vibe. The food is phenomal!!! Still a pretty penny since it's sea food, but fairly priced for the quantity and quality. About a hundred bucks for two people's boils and appetizers. Our server Sonjia was the best you could ask for. Polite, friendly, great reccomendations, and she left us to eat - not interrupting every 5min like other places, but also not forgetting we exist either. Overall we will be coming back, the vibe is chiller than the Pier 88 on Jefferson. It's smaller and quieter.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. I eat seafood 3 to 4 times a week so I know when seafood is fresh or when it is bad. My shrimp and oysters were good but the whiting was gross. It smelled like it had gone bad and tasted even worse. The manager or owner was very rude instead of replacing the whole order just reheated the same food that was gone bad which I’m sure doesn’t follow safe serve food guidelines. Do not eat here !!!!! Unless you want to find yourself sick or in the hospital
