Pier 247 opened in an old service station on West Davis back in January. The restaurant specializes in seafood with a New Orleans lean, plus bar food. Chef Richard Glenn recently took over the kitchen, and he is changing up the menu a little. Favorites including the triple seafood club sandwich and the classic bacon cheeseburger are staying the same. But Glenn has added a few things. Among them are a grilled-salmon salad with candied pecans, goat cheese, strawberries and a warm bacon vinaigrette. He added two new po-boys — roast beef and “the peacemaker,” fried oysters with bacon. The chef also created an all-new dessert menu that includes bread pudding and death-by-chocolate flan. The restaurant also is expanding its bar area to accommodate TV watchers for football season.
