Best Casual Restaurants in Lakewood

We had one of the best fine dining experiences at Pier W. My husband is on a very restrictive diet and I eat extremely clean. Our server, Samantha, was absolutely outstanding!!! Once we told her about our dietary needs/wishes, she immediately suggested we customize our dishes. We did and the chef did an awesome job! Samantha is as pleasant as she is knowledgeable. The atmosphere is amazing and everyone we came in contact with seemed happy to be there! Thank you for the experience!!! Can’t wait to return!

Love the atmosphere! Great bar and set up. We had cocktails at the bar before our table was ready. Impressive and unique drink list, the bar tenders clearly know what they are doing. It was fun to watch. We really enjoyed the appetizers, the main dishes had good flavor, loved the Salmon and pork chop, the pasta dishes tasted good but reminded me of something I could easily make at home. Great service.

Grilled bread with whipped ricotta- WOW. Housemade meatballs- perfectly flavored. BUCATINI BOLOGNESE- the noodles were perfect, sauce was divine. CRISPY CHICKEN LIMONE- not a drop was left on the plate. A+ SHORT RIB GARGANELLI- I have no words for how delicious this was!

We discovered this spot in Lakewood on our own and have many of our friends who have brought their other friends to this great spot on the west side. You have to try the pretzel the vegan meatballs of course they’re infamous Smashburger, sloppy Joe, both vegan and regular and the pizzas, the warm cookie with the Mitchell’s ice cream as a perfect way to share the end of a meal The staff are wonderful, friendly and efficient. The vibe inside the restaurant is spot on great bar as well.

Good place for lunch but but so much for dinner: too small and crowded
