We visited Pier Farm for a Friday Dinner and absolutely loved our visit.
Definitely recommend the Pizza's as they are fantastic and such great value.
We also loved the steak which apparently was due to the chef. A friend who we visited with said that it was 10x better than the last time he visited and had the same dish. We asked and the chef was apparently different.
I'll look forward to returning on a Monday night to enjoy their fantastic Monday Night Deal - $19 for a Pizza and Wine.
I and some colleagues of line made a booking here for a dinner catchup. The staff were nice , the place is quite big and table arrangements caters well for big crowds (18-20), the calamari starter was really nice and the main dish â The WAGYU BRESAOLAâ was very nice too. Overall good food and staff. Tip: with the wine donât expect tasters here, if you order it and itâs open you got to buy the whole bottle. Overall, good restaurant with good food and nice service.
Main meal and entree were delicious, the desserts were a let down
Fabulous ... a very nice segway from the Anchorage days and much more. Atmosphere Food Wine 5 Star World Class ... A million dollar view ... highly recommended
Overall the experience at Pier Farm was good!
The interior was gorgeous, staff very attentive to detail and food was good.
For starters, we the shuckered oysters with raspberry vinaigrette which was very fresh and delicious.
We also ordered the fish of the day and the seafood linguini. We felt the fish of the day was alright as the fish was cooked well but the salad was a miss as it didnât match the fish at all.
The seafood linguini was delicious though.
Overall: 4/5
Pier Farm is a lovely restaurant in Williamstown to go to but it is quite expensive. However the food, service and views make up for it!

4.5. This is one of those ones where you curse the loss of the half mark option. 4.5 would have completely nailed, but 5 is maybe that bit too high and 4 way too low.
Pier Farm is extremely good taking all key indicators into account. The location and space are terrific. The food and wine are almost uniformly excellent. The service is good too. Itâs very close to a perfect restaurant and well worth travelling across town to as we did as part of restaurant week.
Some detail. The restaurant is nicely located on Port Phillip bay. It has excellent inside and outside spaces. The whole place has a good feel and is well fitted out. There is a tremendous view outside of the bay including the shipping channel leading into the port, the adjoining marina and various local seabirds. Itâs enormously restful and even entertaining. We saw lots including huge ships and pleasure craft. Even a pair of black swans swam by at one point. Inside and out this is a very well appointed place.
The food is extremely good. The restaurant had chosen a very good menu for this dinner and they delivered it very well. The canapĂŠs were excellent. Three types in all. The best was chargrilled prawn on skewers. The prawn meat was perfectly cooked and was delicious. The paired wine, a Pizzini Prosecco, was a wonderful accompaniment. The entree was mighty good too. Stuffed calamari with a tomato sauce. The calamari ripieni was good and the sauce really flavoursome. The stuffing was the hero. Delicate and subtly flavoured it was a real winner. Again, the wine pairing, a Paringa Estate Pinot Grigio, was really outstanding. This is a beautiful wine and it went so wonderfully with this dish.
Main course was a beauty too. Snapper fillet, asparagus, clams and mussel butter. It came with a lovely salad with a gorgeous zingy dressing. This was matched with a Medhurst Rose, another outstanding choice. The meal was very good. The food wine combination worked superbly again.
Desert was an absolute triumph. It floored our group of four. I cannot ever recall a better cheesecake than this, a lemon and vanilla bean number. Cheesecake rarely excites me. Itâs usually too heavy and the crust too dense in my experience. This cheesecake though was utterly faultless. The cake itself had a beautiful soft creamy texture - it was the opposite of dense - and it was subtly and thrillingly flavoured. The gorgeously flavoured strawberries added to the overall beauty of the dish. The thin base was excellent too. This dish was a 10/10, particularly when served with another great wine, the Yering Station Cane Cut Viognier.
There was so much to love about this food and wine. It was close to the perfect menu. The produce was great. It was treated with considerable respect. The overall beauty of the food came from the restraint in its composition and presentation. Every dish looked good. Every dish had very good flavours that delighted with their subtlty and never overreached. In addition, they donât just really know their food here, they also really know their wines. That was evident from the wine pairings. A quick look at the stored wine around the restaurant showed any number of beautiful and carefully chosen wines, including a number of obscure ones.
Service was generally good throughout the night particularly from some of the younger servers. It wasnât faultless though. A response of â...treat it like a degustationâ, isnât the right response to someone seeking a wine top up. There were several coordination issues too, such as wine being served too far before dishes arrived. These were small issues overall though given the quality of food and wine on offer.
This is a very very good restaurant. A jewel even. Itâs an easy 4.5 out of 5 for me. We had a great night. I recommend Pier Farm highly and would happily return very soon.
I have visited several times and each time the food and service have been consistent and of a high standard. Fresh produce and beautiful Mediterranean flavours. One of my top recommendations if you are eating in Williamstown. Great setting on the water too.

Live down the road but tonight was the first time dining at pier farm. With some of the waterfront restaurants in Williamstown like Sebastianâs or Pelicans your view of the waterfront is really dependent on where you are seated but no matter where you are seated here you get a view of the water. The large windows that rap around the building with bay seating along with the white walls, greenery hanging from the ceilings and gorgeous soft furnishings give you a beautiful interior. My partner and his mother both love to dine near the water and they were both blown away with how beautiful it was.
As soon as you are seated you are given the choice of sparkling or still water and are given some beautiful crusty warm bread with specially sourced butter (very tasty). There was a good selection of wine, beer and cocktails and the staff made sure that as soon as your glass was empty they came to offer you another drink.
The staff were all attentive and you can see they pride themselves on providing top notch service. The star for me was George who I believe was in charge of the front of house. You could see him keeping an eye on everything and took service to a fine dining level. The way he described each of the nights specials to us was amazing and it made you want to order everything. He was able to tell you where the produce was sourced and how each component of the dish is prepared. I have been to Michelin star restaurants where staff were not on his level. To top it off he was very witty and hand us all laughing. The service and setting definitely 5 âď¸.
Now the food....all the produce that is used is definitely top quality and you can tell itâs important for Pier Farm to source the best produce. I had the oysters natural with lemon granita. These were by far the best oysters I have ever had both in quality and how the icy granita with lemon and salt were perfectly balanced. I ordered 1/2 a dozen but could have had 2 dozen happily it was that good. My partner had 1 of the specials a blue eye fillet w/ asparagus and vegetables. My partner enjoyed it but said that the veges and asparagus were over cooked. His mother had another special which was a whole grilled salmon w/ grapes and radish. She said the fish was nicely cooked but she was expecting more. We also had a garden salad and fries as sides that were fine. For dessert I had the panacotta that was beautiful. It was served with fresh strawberries, crunchy meringue and some small squares off jelly. The combo of the sweet milky panacotta was perfect with the crunch of the meringue and tartness of the jelly and strawberries.
If I was to rate Pier Farm based off just what I had where everything I had was fantastic and without fault it would be 5 âď¸. The food my partner and his mother had was nice other than my partners veges being over cooked but I think that unfortunately the food on the plate did not live up to their expectations. The way the meals were cooked did not exactly live up to how George described them.
The meal was quite expensive but even though some of the meals were just good and nothing great we still really loved our dining experience at Pier Farm. We will definitely be back. My only real advise to make this reach that 5 star level would be to make sure the food served is at the same level as George describes it.
I asked my partner what he would rate it and he said 3 stars based on his meal and 5 based on service and everything else. My rating would be 5 star so have come to 4 stars based on this. Definitely somewhere to go if you have a special occasion or want a romantic dinner. We will be back but I will be very sad if George is not there. Pier Farm need to hold on to him.
Decided on a drive to Willamstown for a late lunch. Caught this restaurant out of the corner of the eye and loved the space as it was right on the water. We had the octopus and calamari to start. Great start to the meal. Octopus was tender, cooked just right with saffron potatoes and a harissa. Calamari was well cooked however the accompanying rocket salad was on the salty side. Mains were the porcini ravioli and the seafood linguine. The ravioli was served with a burnt butter sauce. Linguine had fresh tomatoes which really set it off. Highly recommend both dishes.
Overall, love to come back.
