My server Tiiarra was extremely polite and attentive despite being very busy while serving many other tables. What a great experience - thank you Tiiarra!

I normally don't leave reviews but we were celebrating our 14th wedding anniversary and was a little disappointed ?. I will try to keep this short. I'm also the type that hates sending food back and will eat just about anything.-Started off by sending back my Moscow mule. Waaaay too much ginger and I LOVE ginger!-The menu was confusing and there were no prices so we had to keep asking our waitress. When we asked for the fish selections she said them fast and like we were bothering her. We weren't sure on how they could cook any of them so at that point I was kind of frustrated but I worked through it.- I ordered blackened fish and rice pilaf. The rice was inedible. All I could taste was green pepper ? There was a ton of it. Again I like green pepper but not when that's all I can taste. It was also dry and nothing like a pilaf.-The clam chowder was ok but definitely didn't taste like they make it in house.-$40 for 12 fried oysters. She told us the price before kind of like are you sure you want those ?♀️ Half got soggy because they threw them all into a basket ?-Our waitress was ok, nothing special. We told her it was our first time there as soon as she took our order. We had to ask for a drink menu. She never looked us in the eye when talking to us so that kind of made us feel like we were just another table and wanted to move on.- my husband ordered the lobster and baked potato. He loved it. I think it was around $32 and the lobster was a decent size.- Overall we ended up spending close to $150 and left very disappointed ? We don't normally get to go out. I was hoping for a better experience.*Oh and they don't make reservations on Friday and Saturday so we had to show up as soon as they opened hoping we would get a table. I think for special occasions they should probably make adjustments. Because we weren't sure if we were going to get a table. And we already had a babysitter soooo ?I hope this helps some who chose to read through the whole review ❤️

My husband suggested we try The Wharf for our date night dinner. We have four kids, so date nights are a must to keep our sanity. We have lived here for 12 years and never tried the place. I've always thought about trying it, but just never end up going through with it. Well, I've been missing out! Everything here was excellent. Reid was our waiter and he was SO friendly, knowledgeable about everything and was perfect in every way. I'm not exaggerating. He needs to train all the waiters of Texas. We are asking for Reid every time. My husband even said he was an amazing waiter and just a great guy and you just don't see great service like that anymore. The appetizer was great, our meals were delicious and the turtle pie dessert was the best thing that's ever been in my mouth. My loaded baked potato was actually LOADED. Like I would do at home. That's a first for me at a restaurant anywhere. This was my first time trying shrimp scampi and it was so delish! I loved it. The lighting was relaxing and cozy. We will definitely be back again soon.

The food and service were great! It was our first time, and we decided to celebrate our 24th anniversary with something different. Low light and a little romantic. The dress was casual. Not loud at all. My husband had the ribeye, and i had the Hawaiian chicken with rice. Also, I tried out the fried cheese....so good! Our server was awesome. Will definitely go again.
Ordered the ribeye and asparagus.steak was under cooked,asparagus was undercooked,Ordered margarita,was not mixed well,too much mix.Server was nice and did her best to accommodate us.will go back again but I will not order steak again.just highly disappointed in quality of food and drinks.Will tell people just be cautious about what you order and expect here

I don’t know how long The Wharf has actually been around, but I moved here in 1990, and this is the first time I’ve ever tried it. We’ve thought about going there a few times over the years, but never got around to it. So glad we finally did! The food was really good. I didn’t get a pic until after we dug in, but you get the idea. We ordered the fried mushroom appetizer, which was cooked really well. A lot of times fried mushrooms can be soggy, and I almost always have to add salt, but not here. The chipotle ranch was also nice to dip them in. As for our entrees, my husband got the fried catfish, which he kept commenting that it was “really good” all night, even after we left. I tried the shrimp scampi and was pretty pleased. We will definitely be dining here again, and it won’t be another 34 years before we go!
Waiter was amazing food was horrible.Crab legs over cooked, oysters with spinach qas basically spinach and cheeseNever again

Loved the atmosphere and the service was great and timely, but food was a real disappointment. Credit is due to the bottlecaps though, as they were really good and I really enjoyed the sauce they were served with. The soup and salad however, really set the tone for the night and given, it's just a Ceasar salad and it's a very simply dish, but I was served essentially wet lettuce with grated parmesan cheese and not nearly as much dressing as it needed. The cream of jalapeno soup was very bland and the only flavor I was getting was "spicy" and definitely not worth $5 for a measly 12oz cup. The coconut shrimp itself was pretty good, it had a lovely warm, sweet flavor, but the mustard marmalade it was served with was overwhelmingly sweet. It totally masks the nice flavor of the shrimp which regrettably was the only redeemable thing I had that night. The most disappointing item on the menu in my opinion was the insultingly bland crawfish etouffee. No garlic, no herbs, no seasonings, no salt, it wasn't even spicy. The texture and flavor were reminiscent of canned beans. Even the rice was bland, how to you make bland rice?? At this point I was really looking forward to dessert which unsurprisingly was another disappointment. I went with the "safe" option of key lime pie which was way too firm and had the texture of pudding with gelatin. The crust was also extremely hard almost as if it was a whole, uncrushed graham cracker. It was more like key lime pudding on a graham cracker dish.Though I will admit that the prices are okay if you enjoy this food, I think of this place as the idea of someone who wanted to bring "good" seafood to San Angelo and got comfortable accommodating to San Angelo's palate. Terribly bland food that would get sent back anywhere else and etouffee that would send anyone with a mature, well-versed palate into cardiac arrest.

First and last time, terrible service chewy steak over priced meal. Not at all what we expected, right out of the gate it took 45 minutes for 6 of us to get a table. I must have counted 12 people walk in after us and all, got sat immediately. I asked for the manager at 30 minutes let him know we had been waiting for 30 minutes and he basically said sorry, we only have 2, 5 tops and were both being used so we were going to have to wait. We arrived at 5:30 and didn't get a seat until 6:15. The waitress brought us bread, we ordered appetizers and no silverware until after I had to ask for some so we could eat our appetizers. Seriously? WTF! All I have to say lower your expectations if it's your first time. Don't show up with six people or more because they're gonna make you wait. you may need to ask for silverware cause they're not gonna bring you any..Don't complain to the manager that you've been waiting because you will not like his response and become even more agitated, he don't care. They were asking for $42 for a 12oz ribeye so I ordered the sirloin and shrimp combo for $29. which btw, the menu says "market value" so they can charge you whatever they want, and it was chewy, which in my opinion makes it a cheap cut of meat and therefore overpriced. I do not recommend this place.

The shrimp scampi, recommended in other reviews, was excellent. Jason, tending bar, is very, very good. The chef's been around a while and knows his stuff. Good owners attract, develop and allow a good team to excel. I highly recommend The Wharf.
