I have been wandering this neck of the woods for years and saw this place get built. So when I stopped in I was excited. It didn't last long. Ordered the pretzel to start and it was, well, not good. Very dry, very large and quite hard. I reckon one of the street vendors would have faired better with one of their frozen pretzels. Followed this up with fish and chips for my significant other and I had the chicken skewers. The fish and chips were largely batter and rather tasteless. Something was also not quite right with the tartar sauce. The skewers were ok but nothing worth writing home about. The cous cous that complemented the dish was incredibly dry and was lacking in flavor. Service was OK, seemed like he was a young student just phoning it in. Long story short: nice view, probably good for drinks but would recommend people try the other great local spots for food. Pier A's food gets trumped by a TGI Fridays or, dare I say, Applebees.
