Stafford's Pier Restaurant

About

Located in downtown Harbor Springs on the water.

Story

A tribute to the maritime heritage of beautiful Harbor Springs, Stafford's Pier Restaurant offers true waterfront dining, quite literally, as the Pier Restaurant was built on original pilings over the harbor.

The Pier overlooks the historic yacht basin while offering visitors a superb choice of fine cuisine, specializing in fresh seafood, prime cut steaks, and local favorites. Dudley's Deck is without question the most famous outdoor dining spot in northern Michigan and the place to be each and every Fourth of July.

Along with spectacular views, the Pier notes an impressive culinary team, led by Executive Chef Rob Sargent.

The Pier is always the center of action in Harbor Springs all year long. And especially when summertime hits, there is probably no more popular nightspot in town.

As if the location of this restaurant wasn't enough, they add in great food, great staff, and a wonderful decor. Located on the pier in Bay Harbor, this place has amazing views any time of the year. Mix that with a great menu and friendly staff and this place has all the right pieces for an amazing date night. If you're like me and like to check out the menu online ahead of time, just keep in mind they have daily specials that aren't listed. The last two times I've been I end up getting one of the daily specials and have never been disappointed. Great place for a Friday night cocktail or for a special occasion.

Wonderful atmosphere with incredible views in all seasons. Winter is slower and the views are great. The Pier Restaurant remodel is unique and creates intimate dining. Food is consistently great. Stafford's is a wonderful business that really cares about their clients and employees.

My wife and I have been coming here for 5 or 6 years now for our engagement anniversary, mainly for the fact that we stumbled across the harbor springs merchant open house that the city does every year. But this restaurant is great! We've eaten in both seating areas, great view of the water in the summer months,while during the winter we like to sit in the lounge area by the fireplace. Food is always great, recently had a fish sandwich with perch and sweet potato fries. They always have a pretty good variety of craft beers on draft. Service has always been great as well. Looking forward to coming back here as normal. :)

Arrived for happy hour just after 4 PM on October 24th, 2017. Celebrating our Wedding Anniversary in a very empty restaurant. Decided to go with an assortment of small plates and try all sorts of different things. Waitress seemed mildly confused by the fact that we were not purchasing entrees. Tried the crab cakes, fried shrimp, pot roast, cajun steak fries, and husband ended up getting the Pier Burger, an "entree", after all. Each had a few drinks, too. Food was on par and hot. Well-plated with care in presentation. Our only real "issue" was our server. She seemed not quite tuned in. Older, which may or may not have been a factor. Friendly, but detached in a way I can't put my finger on. We felt rushed in an empty restaurant. When she brought us our menus, we literally had a 2 minute turn around before being asked if we were ready to order. We had to politely ask for more time twice. Once our food was delivered, she again returned in WELL under 5 minutes to ask us if everything was ok; we had barely processed our first bites.This was the theme over the course of the meal. She vultured around our table a few times, and on multiple occasions, reached across us at a very intimate distance to reach a spill or dish she could have retrieved more professionally simply from the other side. We had a couple of gift certificates we applied to our meal, which she also seemed to struggle with. I am normally not this nit-picky about servers etiquette, but at a restaurant of this standard, you would expect your server to be better trained and a bit more warm and personable. She did her job, but could definately use some in-house training/coaching. Otherwise, food was excellent. Ambience was fantastic; intimate, yet inviting and friendly. Fried shrimp were especially note-worthy.

They messed up our reservation so we had to wait an extra 30 minutes after we got there. But we made good use of the time to check out the several impressive boats and yachts on the Pier, including some that were in the $ millions. We were seated inside (had more of a wait for the outside seating) and were surprised to see several empty tables. Turns out that they are having trouble finding enough wait staff. Shame for a Saturday night in August to see empty tables at a popular restaurant. I ordered the Prime Rib with Garlic Mashed Potatoes and a medley of Carrots and Squash (picture attached). The meat was cooked medium as per my order. Was quite tasty with a couple of accompanying sauces. The Calamari appetizer was notable as well. Service was prompt, attentive, friendly and good.
