The interior features a predictably nautical theme, but no one comes to Pier W to look at the walls. This is a place for gazing out at the breathtaking lake or skyline views -- or into the eyes of a dining companion, since Pier W is also known as one of Cleveland's most romantic spots. The menu constantly changes to incorporate the day's fresh catch, but some staples include a marvelous scallop fettuccini, which features an appetizing melange of bacon, mushroom and basil flavors. The seafood platter includes crab cakes, grilled salmon and sesame-crusted shrimp. Noticing a theme here? Yes, Pier W is a by-the-water, from-the-water kind of place, but the plain old roasted chicken is also worth a try. It's flavored with rosemary and garlic and served with a wine sauce alongside roasted shallots and mashed potatoes. For romantic ambience, Pier W is unmatched -- enjoy a magical stroll by Lake Erie before or after dinner.
