    We originally found the restaurant on TikTok so we planned on coming to the haunted house restaurant for our 7 year anniversary! The environment was amazing, the food was amazing and service was amazing! We drove 2hrs and 33 minutes to come to the restaurant! We definitely loved every minute of it! We definitely will be coming back!

    Our family has Thanksgiving, our 3rd to be exact, at Texas de Brazil in Woodmere, Ohio and they've never fails us. The resturant had our table in the private dining room ready upon arival, making the whole experience even more pleasant and intimate for the family. Perfect food quality as usual and the wait staff "always" go above and beyond, thus making the holidays dinning experience superb. This will continue to be our "Thanksgiving Dinner Resturant", even if we move, this will always be our Thanksgiving Dinner Resturant. Thank you and see you in 2025.

    This was our first time at Pier W. We were seated at the Booth facing Lake Erie and downtown Cleveland. They said that’s the best table in the restaurant. Our waitress went above and beyond our expectations as she was always asking if we need anything and always making sure everything is ok. The meal exceeded our expectations as the meal was so good. You have to try the buckeye torte. Out of this world. We will definitely be back.

    First trip back since the name change, we thought it was outstanding. The shrimp and scallop and calamari appetizers were all fresh and delicious sauces. I had the grouper topped with crab special, the grouper was fresh and a generous portion. The sauce again was delicious. The fruit de mar pasta dish had plenty of seafood and a nice variety , again they nailed the sauce. The lobster ravioli was fantastic, again generous portion and delicious sauce. Finished off with a creme brulee we shared …. Perfect. Service was also very good . We will be back soon.
