Pros

Cons

Pier W, a Cleveland institution since 1965, sits right at the edge of Lake Erie along Lakewood's "Gold Coast," about five miles from downtown. The specialty in this nautically-themed restaurant is seafood and the views of downtown are spectacular.

Located on the ground level of the venerable Winton Place Condominium Building, Pier W is known for its halibut tacos appetizer, its simply prepared local and freshly flown-in fish, and its grilled meats. The menu is somewhat "old school," but that's part of the charm.

Pier W boasts a huge wine list with selections from all parts of the world and in all price ranges. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays helps to create a romantic atmosphere.

Pier W serves lunch Monday through Friday, Dinner daily, and Sunday brunch. Reservations are recommended.
