    We had a great pre-Christmas luncheon at Pier 22 and it was wonderful! We had great service and would recommend this restaurant to everyone. Nice view of the water and great company made it even better!

    The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Food was tasty and creative. Cocktails were as well. Staff was attentive and personalized the experience for my wife’s birthday. This place is our favorite restaurant for their quality and tonight only further confirmed our feeling. Thank you!

    Our server must of have had too many tables. We did not receive the exceptional service that we have experienced in the past. The food as always was exceptional, worth every penny spent on the marvelous steak. The piano music was so loud that we could not have conversation at the table. I realize that it is Christmas party season so that accounts for a bit of noise in the restaurant. We will be back again after the holiday season when we know that service will be back to the exceptional standard of Micheals on East
