Pier 23

Don’t know what these other whining fools are talking about. This place was great. Atmosphere, open, views of water everywhere, great band, good prices, good food, and good service. Actually was surprised how often the server came back to check on us. And this was our first time here. We are locals and have zero skin in the game other than being fair to a good local establishment. We can’t be some miracle exception.

Found this place on a whim. Getting there at night was a little sketchy as it seemed like " how is this taking us to a Pier?" We made it though!

I wish I had taken more pictures of the outside and inside, but it really is a while vibe. There are a few different areas to sit at that can provide a different atmosphere.

We were sat in the sand, at a hexagonal picnic table, that had an umbrella all set up. We were there pretty well after sunset, and I do wish the sand area had overhead soft lights running throughout the picnic area for some additional lighting.

So after you walk in, there's the sand seats, a large bar off the side, at least an upper deck that looks over the bay and maybe a small patio on the lower deck. They have an open kitchen, and a large band stand for live music.

I decided to try the peach crush, as I like the orange and may I say... I think the peach might edge out the orange. This one was made really well, not too sweet and not too heavy on the pour. I could taste all the flavors and they mixed so well. For dinner I had the fish sandwich, which was HUGE. It was two fillets of cod, with a light crispy batter. I upgraded to the truffle fries, which they gave a super generous portion in my opinion. The balsamic glaze drizzled over the fries sets everything off and I liked dipping my sandwich in it too!

If we hadn't been out walking all afternoon I think we would have more gumption to go up there stairs to see what type of view there was. From the bottom patio, you could see all the boats docked or coming in to dock for the night. It was very nice.

Service was really nice, they didn't hover but also didn't feel like they forgot about you. The night we went out was pretty chill, our waitress said that it's been different every week that one week that are slammed another they are kind of light so I can't comment on if it's always real busy or not but I liked it not being so busy that night .

I would for sure come back to this place again in the future.

Our server Lauren B did a great job especially considering it was opening day of the season. All of the staff was hustling and very attentive! Very nice atmosphere and the live music is very good! Above average for bar food.
