Wow! I reserve 5-star reviews for amazing places that actually "wow" me during my visit, and Pier 48 delivered! Of course the food is amazing. Best clam chowder I've eaten in a LONG time, unbelievable lobster roll, delicious crab cake sliders, and very tasty scallops. This got them to 4-stars. the 5th star was Asia, our server. She brought an energy to our table that I have not seen in a restaurant in a very long time. Excited, perky, friendly, offering many options, welcoming our weird "exceptions", answering every question with positivity and accuracy, checked-in on us at exactly the right times but not over doing it, the list just keeps going.
Truthfully, I'm coming back here BECAUSE of Asia, not necessarily the food - which of course was terrific. But lots of places have terrific food, but no other place has Asia.
Oh, the cost was on the mark too - what you'd expect for a very nice seafood spot, but not ridiculously expensive where I'm questioning every choice. It was on the money, pun intended.
Finally, if you're the manager / owner reading this, Asia needs a raise. You think your chef is bringing customers in - and that may get them in the door the first time, and that may put me in a good mood to start with. But keeping me happy, making me smile, AND wanting to come back again and again - is all Asia.
