Peir 99

Okay I gotta back out of dry dock because I did not want to forget anything.

So last night we are going out for dinner. I ask the lady at the front desk where is some place close that has really good food and atmosphere. She informs me of two places. One is right next door. The other is about a 10 minute walk down by the Lexington. So I get online and look both places up. After reading the reviews online it seems to be a push as far as which place is better. We decide to go to Pier 99 down by the Lexington. We get there and I am going to do my best to describe this place.

Let's say you come upon a major city such as McKinney or Allen or Richardson. It has been deserted for say 10 years. You come upon an old restaurant that appears to have at one time been a Joes Crab Shack. The decor is there but it seems run down. THAT is Pier 99.

We get seated....well we are told to find our our own seats outside by the ocean. Cool! The seats were made from PVC pipe and wood planks. If it was possible to make a more uncomfortable chair I don't know but this thing hurt my ass. Now I read online that the service was slow but that with the live music and atmosphere it did not really matter. To a large extent that is true. My ratings:

1 being bad 5 being GREAT

Live Music: 4.5 - Sang all 60's 70's folk rock- Think Forest Gump Soundtrack and he
played it.
Food- 5.0 Tracey and I got the same thing- White fish, shrimp, and squid grilled with bell pepper. EXCELLENT....portions HUGE
WAIT STAFF- 2.5 S-L-O-W but that was part of their shtick. Being laid back...no worries
**** I did notice one coulple that got up and left after their drinks. I think they were upset with the service***

Would love to go back but not with small kids. This place would be perfect if you just wanted to go have some drinks and listen to music and eat some great food as you pass the night away.

MIXED DRINKS- 5.0 AWESOME...would of loved to have had MORE
