Pier W
A seafood restaurant that opened in 1965, cantilevered over Lake Erie with views of the lake and downtown skyline
Pier W is in the lakeside suburb of Lakewood. It opened in 1965, and the dining room juts out over Lake Erie like a luxury cruise ship. Windows frame the lake and the Cleveland downtown skyline, and a pianist plays live every day. Popular dishes include lobster bisque, scallops, cedar-plank salmon, crab cakes, and roasted short ribs. Lunch is served on weekdays, brunch on Sundays, and dinner starts at 5 p.m. For window seats, reserve through OpenTable in advance. Entrées run about $35–60. The restaurant is about 8 km (5 miles) from downtown, so drive or take a taxi.
Opening hours
Weekday lunch approx. 11:30–14:00, dinner daily approx. 17:00–21:00 (Fri–Sat until 22:00), Sunday brunch; check the website for updates
