Pier W opened in 1965 and sits perched on the cliffs overlooking Lake Erie.

The design is totally unique. It looks like a simple elevator shaft from the carpark entrance. But once you go down to the patio, or the dining room, you'll see why this is one of Cleveland's premier dining destinations.

This is the more adventurous entrance, showing the rooftop patio and the way the building juts out over the cliffs.

The view from the patio is just to die for. Come down early for a sunrise like this one.

It's the perfect spot for a beer or cocktail on a hot summer's day.

If it's a bit too cold to sit on the patio, don't worry! The view is just as beautiful from the dining room.

As its lakeside perch might suggest, this is one of the foremost seafood restaurants in Northeast Ohio.

All meat - including seafood - is sourced directly from the fishermen and independent farmers.

The dishes available are all delicate and beautiful, but unlike many five tar restaurants, they certainly do not lack in substance.

The portions aren't huge, but you'll be grateful once you see the menu, because you'll want to try *everything*.

The dishes are somehow simple and complex at the same time.

There are also non-seafood dishes available for those who'd rather stick to the turf than the surf.

As much as you'll want to taste everything, make sure you leave room for dessert (and maybe a fine wine, digestif, or cocktail).

The desserts are like the previous courses - elegant and sophisticated, but in no way lacking in substance. Bite into a melt-in-the-mouth devil's food cake...

... Or crack into a perfectly-singed crème brûlée.

On Sundays, there is an amazing brunch spread which is unlike any other you've ever had. They also have a happy hour which includes select food items, wines, and cocktails for very affordable prices.

The Cleveland Skyline in the distance is enough to remind you of where you are, but also let you relax, removed from it all.

The view to the west is just as beautiful and serene. There's no place in Cleveland (or Ohio) quite like this one.
