Pier 6 joins Topwater Grill and Gilhooley’s Restaurant and oyster bar in bayside San Leon, and it is quite a high-quality addition indeed. A large and airy restaurant with ample outdoor bay sview patio seating, the restaurant for the moment is open only evenings, and recommends reservations. However, due to its size, patrons turning up unannounced the weekend night I was there were accommodated in short order. A large circular bar near the entrance is super for people watching, and for observing the pert young bartenders busily turning out their fancy drinks. Pier 6 has a “tide to table” mentality, and is owned by a former Gulf coast seafood purveyor who had the urge to open his own restaurant. Oysters are a specialty, and they come baked or on the half-shell.
