Went for my birthday dinner in August on a Sunday with family and halfway through a band started playing outside and we couldn't even hear each other speak. The also were playing music with foul language not suited for a restaurant that charged us over $300 for our meal and has children present. I would not recommend going there after 7pm especially with children if you want to have a nice quiet dinner.Tried again on Oct 1st, went with a friend for a quick bite outside and ordered a $21 crabcake sandwich and you couldn't even taste crab. I dug around trying to find crab but it was all breading. Picture follows. Thankfully this day Marina was a wonderful waitress and offered to replace it with anything but I had enough. Never again!Kid-friendliness: Not suitable for small children when band is playing

We often go when the Sindi Raymond Band is playing at the Wharf. The food is usually quite good, and we enjoy the afternoon. The entire visit was ruined by ordering a choice that was inedible. Scallops wrapped in bacon should not look like chicken inside, stringy, dry and tan. The manager refused to do anything about it , except remove the uneaten portion. We had to pay full price, and left.

Was there on Friday night! Food was amazing. Our server, Danielle was fast and super nice. Can't wait to get back and try other dishes and drinks.

Marianne CReviewed yesterdayRude serverThe nachos were the worst! The hamburger was cooked incorrectly (asked for medium rare and the receipt read medium well). The shrimp on the shrimp tacos were supposed to be blackened but they was grilled. The Makers Mark Manhattan appeared on the receipt with an additional $3.50 charge for being on the rocks. We never ordered it on the rocks. Didn't want to complain at the time because the restaurant was very busy and we didn't want to tax the waitress. The yellow tuna sandwich was $17 on the menu and we were charged $18. My family member tried to talk to the server and her snippy response was "Well, you ate it" referring to the hamburger. It was only half eaten. And regarding the drink, " Well, you drank it". This attitude was unacceptable so we brought it to the attention of the hostess who shrugged it off.We have frequented this restaurant for the past 20 years and that will be our last time. A mistake on an order is acceptable but never a snippy response!!

Hey Hey

There were enough caveats that I ignores when we first were seated. Cup was dirty, so were utensils. Waitress did help by bringing a new cup and utensils. Found a dead spider in my food. Manager did help to not charge me for that plate. I strongly recommend looking at your food before devoring it. Overall experience, wouldn't recommend.

This was a special on Friday Aug 25th 2023. There was so many different types of seafood the waitress did you know some of the. Our waitress was awesome. I love coming home for vacation.

Dockside bar with a beautiful setting. The drinks are good and cold. We didn’t have any food, we were just there to enjoy the day, some drinks, and the setting. However, when the band is playing be prepared for the volume to be excessively loud. There really is no reason for it to be that loud. Do yourself a favor and get a table outside, not under cover.

The new beach area of the Wharf is very family friendly! My 2 year old son had a blast running around and I didn't have to chase him since it was gated. We chose a table next to the bulk heads, all took our flip flops off, and walked around barefoot in the sand while waiting for our food to arrive. There was a live DJ playing and the entire beach area was encompassed with speakers, which held the music at the perfect noise level.They have cornhole games and other games for the family. There's also an area where you can walk up on the docks where the boats tie up. My 11year old & my 12 year old niece had fun jumping into the water.The only negative is the menu. There are not many options to pick from and the food is kind of pricey. For example, a cheeseburger with a small bag of potato chips was $18! And there was only 2 choices on the kids menu, one of which was not available. But overall, we had a great time! Just wish the food selection was bigger.

Hi… We all have been going to the wharf for years… Went yesterday with family… The food was downright atrocious… We got the blackened chicken nachos… That were nine dollars extra for the chicken… It was not blackened to say the least… And it was drier than a dog bone… And there were literally four tiny pieces, the size of my thumbnail of chicken… Literally a disgrace… Got the sweet and spicy crispy shrimp… They were the size of two of my fingernails… And zero crispy at all… Disgusting… And sad to say, but how can you mess up? Mozzarella sticks? I’m not sure… But boy oh boy, they sure did… Taste it like cardboard… Cantel, they pulled everything out of the freezer and cooked it… A disgrace… And I’m sorry the bartender was nice but he did see that we left 85% of every dish that we ordered because it was so absolutely disgusting… Do you think he would’ve said? Hey how was everything… Hey, is everything OK because You guys really didn’t touch anything… Nope they could care less over there… A disgrace… If I was, I was OSHA, I would shut them down immediately!

I have been here many times and it is one of my favorite places! The food is good the service is great despite the fact that it is always crowded. They have outdoor bar and seating. They also have live music every night. The music is outstanding especially Casey Rhodes singing and guitar playing! The food is really good and so are the drinks. They have many options for you to choose from. The customer service is great and the bartenders are really good at what they do! I would definitely recommend the Warf. I will be back many times before the summer ends.You can always visit their website to find out what event as far as music is playing each night! Also they stay open way past the summer which is always nice if you live or own a house down there.

Atmosphere was really fun outside on the water with live music. It’s seat yourself outside and you can make a reservation for more fine dining inside. The apps were great : oysters and coconut shrimp, ect. For the main meal our group had a variety. The fish and shrimp tacos were not the best. Lobster roll was good. Pasta was also good.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly. Live music outside and kids were able to dance

The oysters & steamers were fantastic! My fiance had the seafood risotto which was also delicious! My stuffed seabass was over cooked unfortunately but still yummy. The dessert shooter I had was strawberry shortcake and I loved it. My fiance got the chocolate mousse. The service was a let down. Our waiter didn't inform us of the specials like I heard other waitresses give. The starters (raw oysters & steamers) took over 45 mins to come out so that was a little aggravating. When we wanted refills on drinks it was hard to get because our waiter wasn't coming to check on us. We saw the food runners more than him. I will definitely come back for the food & atmosphere.

Wonderful ambiance sitting on the deck on a warm summer evening listening to live music while looking at boats cruising by.Service was attentive and friendly.Drinks were fair. We had a mudslide and a Margherita. Both were served in plastic cups and were expensive and watered down. Recommend sticking to things like bottled beer.We shared an appetizer of coconut shrimp. There were 6 small shrimp which arrived hot and fresh, if a bit overcooked.Since we wanted to enjoy the ambiance of the deck, the menu there was limited to mostly sandwiches and bar food served with plastic silverware and on plastic dishes, guessing because of being on the deck. We both chose shrimp fra diavolo. It was served hot and fresh, and very spicy. The pasta was overcooked but OK. We both really enjoyed sitting on the deck listening to the live music. But the food was just fair, portions were small for the price charged. We paid over $100 before tip for 2 drinks, 1 appetizer and 2 entrées.This place could be really great if the deck menu was better, and the food was prepared better.Parking: We were there on a Tuesday, so the place wasn't crowded and there was plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There was handicapped parking and a ramp available. Good for handicapped folks.
