Everything was amazing! The food was great, the drinks were great, and the service was excellent. On top of that, the owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
February 2026
Solid place. Very attentive service. Food is tasty.

Lots of variety on the menu: pasta, poke, flatbread, tacos, mussels, sandwiches, etc...

Having said that, I ate here once before and had no memory of it. Doesn't feel very memorable for some reason. Kind of generic vibe. Similar restaurant to Marketplace and others. Also the prices are a little high.

Pier131 Kitchen + Bar is a gem. Art, Flora, and the entire staff create a genuinely welcoming and friendly atmosphere from the moment you walk in. The menu is excellent across the board, and while everything is worth trying, the pizza deserves special mention. It is quietly some of the best in the Valley. Great food, great people, and a place you will want to come back to.
