Pier 500 has grown, but it hasn't forgotten its roots. Its menu is expanding--and for the better. It's all thanks to the excellent work of its general manager, Rachel F. In just a few years, the restaurant has changed for the better while still staying true to its roots. I could list my favorite dishes, but why not let you, my reader, go and try them for yourself? You'll be surprised by how unique they are, by their quality, and you'll also see the professionalism of the waitstaff, like Bobby. The bar is a world of its own thanks to Anthony... you ask, you get it... I'll describe some delicious dishes another time... UNTIL NEXT TIME...

The pork chop was tender, juicy and flavorful while the potatoes were extra crispy. The lamb on a bed of peas with bits of crunchy chick peas on top of tzatziki was also amazing (I don't think it can outshine the pork chop) the lamb was a hearty serving of tender deliciousness as well. Ended things with the brown butter cake drizzled in salted caramel topped with mousse and pumpkin seeds - also fabulous.

Every meal…read moreand every visit has been consistently fantastic, which is why it's one of our favorite places to bring family and friends. We first discovered San Pedro's from a "best patios" list in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, decided to try it for a date night, and we've been hooked ever since. It's always worth the drive across the border into Wisconsin for this gem! The jerk chicken nachos are our absolute FAVORITE--we order them every single time. They're perfectly layered so every bite has that cheesy, flavorful goodness instead of everything sitting on top. A newer obsession of ours is the street corn pizza. It's the perfect balance of sweet and heat and easily one of the most unique, delicious pizzas we've tried. The cocktails always deliver, especially the jalapeño blood orange margaritas and the mojitos. San Pedro's is absolutely worth the wait for a table--especially if you can snag a spot on the patio!

I found this place by accident when looking for the post office. So I brought my wife back and was amazed by the service and food on Friday. I had a pasta that was just as they advertise made from scratch and with obvious love because it was amazing. We will see you soon because we love it! read more

It was pretty loud indoors due to it being packed, so we kind of wished we could have grabbed a table outside; their patio area was adorable! Our server Karey was a superstar: friendly, attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the menu options. My mom said her eggs Benedict was the best she's had in quite some time. My sausage scrambler was loaded with sausage, mushrooms, peppers, cheese and green onions and it was very filling. My only gripe was when I looked at the receipt after we left and saw it cost $7.90 for two cups of coffee. And the coffee wasn't even in the realm of good, so they either need to up their coffee game or lower the price.

It was sweet enough on its own that it honestly didn't even need maple syrup- it felt like fall! I loved the crunch from the corn flakes it added such a great texture and made the dish stand out. I'm glad they didn't used sweetened corn flakes I think it would have been too sweet. The veggie omelette was also really good and gave the meal a nice balance between sweet and savory. Everything tasted fresh and filling without feeling too heavy. Loved how crispy the hash browns were fried to perfection! Atmosphere & Service: Loved the coffee, and the service kept moving even though the restaurant was really busy. Our food came out at a good pace, and the staff handled the crowd well. The coffee refill was a must after driving from Nashville overnight. Overall: Such a cute spot with that classic diner charm. Between the apple French toast, veggie omelette, good coffee, and friendly service, this was a great breakfast. Definitely a place I'd come back to! Id love to try other menu items for sure!
