Pier W, a landmark Cleveland restaurant, has been serving a critically acclaimed seafood and contemporary menu since May 11, 1965. Having recently undergone a $3 million interior renovation, the new Pier W resembles a sophisticated luxury liner cantilevered over Lake Erie offering dramatic views of both the Lake and the downtown Cleveland skyline. <br> <br>We would like to request that shorts, flip flops and baseball caps are not worn to the restaurant.

The food, drinks, and atmosphere were a delight at this charming French restaurant. My husband and I came to the restaurant for date night. Chef Michael Grieve is masterful in the kitchen creating mouth-watering dishes that are packed with delicious flavors. My husband had the 8 oz filet mignon with augratin potatoes, summer squash and rapini. This dish was superb. I had the scallops which melted in my mouth and was accompanied by cauliflower and roasted date puree. I savored every bite. To end our wonderful meal, we had the bananas foster bread pudding. This dessert did not disappoint and left us wanting more. This is a five-star restaurant. We will definitely go back for more.
5. Steve's Gyros

Reviewed By Rae Ann P - Midwest
It is worth getting there before the advertised opening time of 10am. There are no words to describe the HUGE amount of food that the regular gyro has. Adam Richman of Man vs Food did not do it justice--- maybe if his show offered 'smell o'vision' it might help but we went out of our way (two travel days) to have one because we had one before. It's the stuff dreams are made of.

We stopped at this great little place for lunch and found it to be unique and delicious. Ordered Ropa Vieyo and chorizo, chichiron soup. Both were amazing and the service was very good! Unusual atmosphere, good bar selection and moderately priced. Highly recommended.

Too long waiting
When arrived told 5-10 minutes, 25 minutes later we were seated. There were plenty of open tables.
The server did an excellent job, service, being attentive and friendly
Food was fair too much bread in sandwiches
Fries were tasty but not done enough
Tomato soup was excellent
Probably won't go back
9. El Carnicero
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Stephanie B - Cleveland, Ohio
Eric Williams knows food. He has mastered the art of spicy, sweet, citrusy, earthy, creamy, salty.... He balances every dish to delight the palate and the senses. Starting with cocktails, expect only fresh juices and creative combinations. The guacamole choices, scooped on thin, crispy warm chips, are addictive. Entrees have depth of flavor rarely experienced in a restaurant with bargain prices. El C is darn near perfect.
10. Barrio

Reviewed By Gretchen M - Seven Hills, Ohio
Love Barrios. Tacos, salsa, & drinks are great. You order your tacos, by picking from a check list, lots of variety. Its always busy, we've gone early or on Sunday's, but there's still a wait, but not too long. Parking can be a little hard to find. They have a small parking lot in the back, but we really had to look to find it (there is a small alley between their building and the one next door, it takes you to the parking lot the back) I wish they'd open one in Parma, Strongsville or North Olmsted.
