    Kimberlee was fantastic! Perfect blend of insight on the menu and not being too much of an interruption at our table. Roasted oysters, crab cakes, pork tomahawk with green beans and mashed potatoes were outstanding. Mac n cheese was dry but the bourbon butter cake more than made up for it!

    We sat outside on a beautiful sunny day on Pier 22’s fabulous patio on the river. My 2 friends and I were celebrating our 70th birthdays together. Our lunches were truly delicious and the presentation was beautiful. We loved our delicious Peach and Blackberry Sangria’s. Topped by the views on the water which are so serene. The restaurant treated us to an excellent piece of birthday cake which was excellent and so pretty. Thank you Pier 22 for making our 70th birthday celebrations very special!!

    My wife and I dined at Juno & the Peacock for our wedding anniversary. We had an amazing experience, thanks to Patrick’s (our waiter) excellent service and recommendations. Starting with our cosmopolitan and Moscow mule, the Ahi Tuna Tartare and Pork belly were exquisite. The crab-crusted grouper and winter squash campanelle were delicious. To top it off the key lime tart was to die for. We will definitely be back!
