came here for a friday date night and it did not disappoint!! the views were stunning and our server was very friendly and helpful. we shared a delicious bottle of their malbec wine, i got the cajun chicken club and my boyfriend got a burger and we were both very pleased with our food! we also shared the spinach artichoke dip but it wasn't our favorite, not much flavor.

Tudor was an amazing server, created a very great lunch experience for myself and friends! He made sure we were well taken care of, and liked the food. (I had ordered something new, and did not like it - he happily offered to replace what I did not like, and gave me his favorite burger recommendation) I was nervous to tell them I did not like what I had ordered , but he made me feel comfortable and welcome. We will definitely be coming back because of his service today! I also recommend this place for the lake view, the beautiful patio seating, and the GREAT service from all staff!

Welcome to my desert oasis. If you can't relax here, you need Xanax. LOL! I always enjoy myself here. The views are amazing. You'll feel like you're on a tropical island somewhere. The staff is awesome. And the food is exceptionally fresh and well prepared. I love that they have keto and and high protein options. The owners have to eat that way, so they said they will make it available for their customers. Love it! They even have an A rating. How many restaurants that you eat at, can say that?

The atmosphere at Pier 54 was enjoyable. On a comfortable fall evening in Phoenix, it's perfect for hanging out for dinner and drinks on the patio with your peeps. The restaurant is located on a lake and has live music on the weekends. My goto margarita on the rocks was sublime. The only improvement they need is a bit more timely service. The server gathered our order right away but the kitchen took some time to prepare and it wasn't even busy on a Sunday evening. I would go back again for the chill vibe and location.

I have been wanting to try Pier54 for quite some time. I finally went for my birthday and I'm so happy I did. The view is stunning! The staff were very nice and helpful. The food was very fresh, you can taste that everything had good quality ingredients. I took a picture of just about everything except the Natural Lemonade which is probably the best lemonade I've ever had! Such a cute lunch spot. Loved the vibes!

I came here today with a few friends around 3:15, right after they opened. We were sat right away by a very friendly hostess and promptly given menus and water. We got the spinach artichoke dip for our appetizer and I got the lamb burger as my meal. The dip was garlicy and savory, absolutely perfect. And my burger was wonderful! The tzatziki was wonderfully fresh. The view is beautiful and the vibe of the place is definitely laid back. The one drawback is they allow smoking at the bar and if you're eating and a non smoker, the smell can be off putting while you eat. All in all, I'd definitely go back and recommend this place!
