Designed to take full advantage of its bayside location, this restaurant has a decidedly European feel with large, arched windows, a creamy facade and a spacious interior. The modern wood furnishings are tastefully offset by dark floor tiles, wispy hanging lights and a roaring fireplace during winter. The menu is equally impressive, offering a range of dishes, from kangaroo tenderloins and slow-cooked lamb shanks to woodfired pizzas and focaccias. There are a handful of set menu options for the indecisive, which start at $36 and go up to $45 for an entree, main and dessert. For those who like their meals with vino, there's an excellent selection of local and international wines, as well as a range of icy-cold palate-cleansers.

Pretty Average...
We popped into The Pier for a couple of tapas and a drink. They had a very limited tapas menu in the bar area, the prices seemed slightly high for tapas, most from $11-$16. We ordered calamari and duck spring rolls and a couple of drinks. My husband seemed to be gone for forever when we went up to the bar to order(no table service in the bar) and when he got back commented they only had two staff on (it was quite busy, almost full) and that they continued to answer the phone a couple of times while serving him.
The wine list was decent and well priced with an all round selection of most varieties. The food came, along with a knife and fork each and they looked like two entrees rather than two tapas, so I am wondering if the chef even gets the point or understands tapas. The calamari was approx six med/large pieces coated in a very thick/heavy crumb and deep fried a bit too long as it was a bit chewy. The duck spring rolls, 2 pieces, were better, not too greasy and good flavours. Both dishes were strangled in an unusually large amount of salad, which is perhaps why I liken the dishes more to entrees to tapas. Overall we are not in a hurry to return if at all, with the quality of restaurants, bars and cafes in Port Melbourne I don't see the point, except for maybe to just have a drink and enjoy the view.

A great night out
On what would have to have been an incredibly busy night with a lot of passing traffic due the Queen Vic docked at Station Pier, the staff managed to supply our table of three with fast, friendly and very efficient service all evening.
With only a glance a waitress was taking orders, filling glasses, checking if everything was to order in a prompt and timely manner without ever feeling too pushy or demanding.
Our party came away from the evening feeling comfortably full on a very nice meal, and some very decadent deserts and a good wine selection, and my wallet came away from the evening intact as well.
With a great view, relaxed atmosphere this is one place that I will be taking friends and guests to again.

The view was awesome - the lookout to the Port Melbourne beach was nice and relaxing. The food was nice and filling, but the service was little slow. But overall it was a great place to have a meal.
