Date Night: Savor The View At Pier W

It’s no secret that Pier W is Cleveland’s most popular place to declare undying love. The luxury liner-esque restaurant lodged on a lakeside cliff hosted 312 marriage proposals last year. Count ’em: That’s an average of six per week, more than enough for a listing as one of the most romantic restaurants in the country by Travel & Leisure magazine. Sure, the food is top-notch, from hearth oven-roasted cedar planked salmon to a smoked rack of Ohio pork smothered in a cherry demi-glace. There’s even a mobile truffle bar. But everyone is most smitten with the view. So reserve a table nestled
alongside wall-length windows offering an unbroken expanse of Lake Erie’s choppy waters and Cleveland’s glittering skyline. “Every day is a different spectacular view,” says manager Mark Kawada. “Even in a snowstorm, it kind of looks like you’re in a snow globe.” 12700 Lake Ave., Lakewood, 216-228-2250, pierw.com After: Select from nearly 400 craft brews or vintage and modern wines at Rozi’s Wine House in Lakewood for a take-home tipple to top off your unforgettable evening. 14900 Detroit Ave., Lakewood, 216-221-1119, rozis.com #Foodie #Moderate
