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.

Such a fun experience! The food was incredible! If you have a horror movie fan, you have to take them! They have a purge birthday experience as well, which was such a fun little thing. I also appreciated that they could tell my autistic son was not excited about the characters, and they didn't go up to him! Would definitely come back!

Our visit to The Centro in Cleveland was nothing short of delightful! From the moment we stepped inside, we were captivated by the warm and glowing atmosphere and the kindness of the hosting staff. The venue is beautifully designed, integrating the past of the Cleveland Trust and the stylish decor of the present. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring that all of our needs were met. They even gave us a personalized menu to acknowledge us celebrating our anniversary! The menu at The Centro is impressive and made with local ingredients. We enjoyed the crispy polenta cubes appetizer. We both ordered from the house specialty section of the menu. My husband ordered the braised short ribs and I ordered the chicken parmesan with homemade pasta. Every bite was a testament to the culinary skills of the team. The drink menu was equally impressive, showcasing a variety of inventive cocktails, wine, and beer. My husband ordered a spicy concoction that was on their drink special list and I had the Black Manhattan made with Basil Hayden dark rye whiskey. I wish we had saved room for dessert because the selection was delectable!
