Dining room at Pier W, Lakewood, OHLong known for its spectacular view---peering out over the lake at the Cleveland skyline---Pier W also offers a fine dining experience in its airy, light space with sleek upholstery and a fresh update of the brass-rail-and-fishnet décor of years past. In keeping with the restaurant’s lakeside setting, chef Anthony Phenis focuses on seafood. Halibut tacos are a favorite appetizer, owing to the contrast between delicate, crunchy shells and tender, flaky fish. As for other starters, if it comes from the sea, it’s here: lobster bisque, calamari fritte, crab cakes and shrimp cocktail are among the classic offerings. Among entrées, diners must choose between chef's specialties and a half dozen varieties of seafood done with deceptively simple preparations: olive oil, lemon-butter sauce and other gentle touches. Desserts are colorful, if not earthshaking. Between its regular and reserve wine list, Pier W's cellar stocks roughly 3,000 bottles.
