Pier 4 Storehouse Restaurant
7/27/2010
went here for an early dinner around dusk. I asked to be seated in the patio, which is the only reason to go here. The patio is beautiful. It's next to the water with a marina around the corner. You can see kayak-ers paddle around the harbour and centre island. dinner entrees average around $25, and the food is okay. it's one of those places that's good to go once for the experience.

No way would we return here. The atmosphere was what brought us in, decked out in boat decor.
But the wine came corked. We returned it. They brought another glass from the same bottle.
Food was mediocre and service was horrendous (terribly terribly slow even though only 4 tables filled). Not to mention the customer at the table across from us had her feet sprawled up on the second seat at her table as if she was home in her living room.

This is a pretty crazy looking restaurant / bar, with just about every type of seafaring, pirate related and nautical bit of memorabilia you can imagine emblazoned around the entire place. It looks very much like a normal pier house from the outside, but once you step inside you feel like you're on a Disney ride. Don't get me wrong, I love this kind of stuff, but someone needs to learn about moderation because it's gotten a bit out of hand here.
We stopped in for something in between lunch and dinner, around 4 or 4:30, and we had to eat out on the front patio because apparently the back deck wasn't ready until 5, even though we could clearly see people sitting there. Whatever. It was a surprisingly nice day, so we were happy just to be out in the warm weather, as it had pretty much sucked up until that day. Our waitress was deplorably slow to take our orders and give us our bill, but we eventually got some food somewhere in between.
All 3 of us ended up order their version of a French Dip, which turned out to be ok, and included a side of fries that were actually quite good, but the portion was so small you had finished them before you even realized they were on the plate. They also give you pretty much no au jus to go with the sandwich, one of my biggest foodie pet peeves of all time. By the time you finally get some extra from the kitchen your second sandwich half is nearly cold, which is why it aggravates me so damn much. The seafood here is probably decent being right by the harbor, and I saw several signs advertising a hell of a lobster dinner deal. The regular sandwich menu is a bit pricey, and there is a minimum dollar amount each person at the table has to spend, so don't think about sharing their pizzas either.

Great Seafood Experience, just a bit pricey. Calamari and Mussels were AMAZING! As for the entree, the Seafood Platter was the best consisting of delectable Shrimps, Oyster Rockerfellers, Lobster and Crab Legs. Great Service, didn't take too long for the food/drinks to arrive. The Pina Colada and Stawberry Daquri were awesome! I'll probably only come back here for a special occasion cause the bill came to $300! If only I had that much money to burn everyday!

Went for a nice evening out with the family and ending up leaving fairly early. Upon entering the restaurant we were sent on our own mission through the long corridor to another host desk. The manager then escorted us up towards the up back part of the restaurant now where near the water view or even the other diners. The decor is tacky, with its old seafaring replicas. We ordered our beers, they did have Steamwhistle on tap. That was nice. We decided to start with the French Onion Soup, 3 orders and 1 of the Boston Clam Chowder. Now, I lived in Boston for 4 years and go back few times a year. In now way was that soup that came out anything like boston clam chowder, and for $8 a bowl I would expect more. The soups arrived and there was no steam coming off the bowls, i didn't think much of it at first, until i took a spoonful of cold salty watery soup. It was the bottom of the pot and it was weird because, the bowl itself was untouchable from heat, but the soup inside was cold. They did nothing to fix this and I was just not in the mood anymore to carry on with ordering anymore food or even finishing.
