Stafford's Pier Restaurant

We began our meal with oysters which were delicious! The women each enjoyed a glass of wine with the oysters and the men got dirty martinis with blue cheese stuffed olives - not the best martinis they have ever had. The men each ordered a cup of the clam chowder (which my husband was able to order because it's GF so that was quite a treat for him!) They said the clam chowder was probably the best they've ever had. We all decided to order the whitefish which was served on a bed of vegetable risotto. So good! It's such a beautiful restaurant. We sat inside by the doors which open to the patio. It was a beautiful night and the doors were able to be open. Our server Keni was a wonderful server. We will request her when we are able to go back again.

Our table overlooked the dock, and our server Emily was exception. We will definitely request her during our next dinner the Pier.

Had lunch a month ago and it was wonderful. Dinner ok. Our server was very nice. Hostess stand horrible. So unprofessional!!! Will return. Probably lunch

Very disappointing! We've eaten there many times in the past but they said they had a new chef and it was not good. Whitefish was a small filet on risotto which tasted ok but no vegetable and when I asked for bread they said they were waiting a bread warmer to come in. Really!? You can get that from Amazon overnight! The lobster roll we ordered was the smallest I've ever seen with a handful of French fries. Off our dining list for the future.

Sat behind bow of a boat in middle of dining room blocking view of harbor. Limited items on menu. Good waitress but took forever to actually get drinks and food

Food has taken a downturn from years past. The wait staff was not attentive, did not know the food or how to check on customers. It took forever to get food and drinks.

The food was tasty, presented well, music was fabulous but didn't appreciate 2 of the wait staff talking right by our table about other wait staff . We didn't feel this was appropriate nor did we need to hear their conversation about someone not doing their job. Lovely view of the water , comfortable seating

Over the years the Pier has been our go to place for an enjoyable evening or holiday dinner. Easter Sunday 2025 was a day and time we were going to visit the pier. First, the menu was mostly a brunch type selection. That was fine, not anticipated but ok. My steak and eggs, a staple menu item was way overpriced for two eggs and a very small breakfast steak. The crab cake was good and desert (peanut butter pie was very good. One cocktail each. $145 for in essence breakfast and a mimosa . I get it costs have gone up. One cannot beat the atmosphere at the pier but the quality of the menu must not be outpaced by the price.

Friendly and accommodating wait staff from the entrance to the ending. My mom's Crab Cake Benedict was very yummy.

Quiet spring evening for dinner at the Pier. Betsy was a lovely server. Everything was delicious

A wonderful meal, beautiful setting. Service was excellent. We both had the whitefish and it could not have been better. Wonderful sauce

The location is scenic right on the harbor. They had a special for Valentines Day - $69/person. The portion sizes were huge. I felt they were too much. I would've preferred a half-sized portion of salad, main entree, and dessert for a lesser price. A half-sized portion would've been more than appropriate for an adult. The server was very attentive and polite. I would dine here again, just not during a special such as this.

Decent food and cocktails. Service was lacking. We stood at the front counter for like 20 minutes before someone came in to seat us. And it wasn’t busy at all.

We love to dine at any of the Stafford restaurants and the Pier is one of our favorite. We stopped in prior to the Holiday Open House and enjoyed their chowder, pear arugula gorgonzola salad, and Waygu burger. Staff is always awesome and friendly. Lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend dining here.
