I have been here several times since they first opened. I have seen a real improvement in food and service over past several months. Our last waiter was fantastic, and I followed his suggestion of having the scallops. Wow! Perfectly cooked and no gluten issues. I recommend this place for the food, service, and the beautiful views on the water.

Not too many choices but the Greens salad I had was pretty tasty. I opted to add Mahi to it. I wasn’t a fan of the coconut dressing so I requested the raspberry vinaigrette instead.

If I had known that the restaurant next door (Harpoon Harry’s) had a dedicated fryer and bunless burger options we would have preferred to go there instead. Our waitress was horribly forgetful and we had to get her attention many times for things that were forgotten.

My gluten eating family enjoyed their meal options but again, we had to get the waitress’ attention for the many things that were forgotten. It wasn’t very busy either so we assume she was just new.

Exclude the tempura crunch and have them cook the shrimp in a separate pan instead of the skillet.

Both the ribeye and short rib were amazing and celiac safe.

On the most recent trip, Taylor was our server and apologized for it being her first week… she then proceeded to be the best server I’ve had in a long time.

The afternoon we went the experience was disappointing. It took 45 minutes for two salads that should of been available in 15 minutes maximum. The restaurant was half full but the waitress tried to explain they were so busy. It is a fast casual experience at full service restaurant prices. Overall a disappointing experience.

This place was awesome on every level. We sat outside which had a great atmosphere.

I am highly allergic to gluten and the waitress was very knowledgeable in regard to what my options were for both food and drink. You'd be surprised how often I can't even get a cocktail at other establishments, because they use cheap, gluten-containing ingredients, or they simply aren't educated on what they offer.

For the main course I got the Sea Scallops with Roasted Potatoes, Jalapeno Cream Corn and it was delicious, well portioned, with nice sized scallops. And their Blood Orange Margarita's are really, really good — just the right balance of ingredients. Kudos again for knowing it's gluten free and using quality ingredients.

Our entire group enjoyed their meals and drinks. The sushi my kids got looked amazing.

Would definitely return next time we are visiting the area.

Visiting from out of town. New staff, but super accommodating and had gluten free labeled on all items available. Felt very safe. I am epi-pen allergic to wheat. The food was delicious. Had some sushi. Oh and I am allergic to shell fish too. They had many options. I felt very safe and enjoyed my meal. I had the Brussel sprout salad and the grouper was about the size of my hand. The grouper was very large and it was flaky. I will be back.. not to mention the sunset on the patio was perfect. Saw dolphins and mantarays.

I had such an awesome experience at the Pier. They list their gf items on their menu. My waitress was amazing and talked to the chef about me being celiac and they made sure all utensils, cutting boards, etc were cleaned off. We ordered the spicy tuna roll, the salmon roll, and the Maui roll and asked if they could sub the cream cheese (df as well) for more avocado and they did. I also ordered their Brussel sprout salad which is also gf and it was amazing! So accommodating and kind about it!! I highly recommend the Pier!
