We have been patrons of the Wharf for years, and it had always been our favorite restaurant on the island. However, in the last few years, service and quality have slipped, but prices have increased dramatically. (re: almost $8 for a bowl of corn chowder??) During two visits, the waitstaff left a lot to be desired. They seemed to want... more

The first time we went which was last year, we had a very nice dinner. The waiter was great. Service was slow, but the food was very good. We went again this year (08) and we had to get up and leave. First, the waiter was terrible. It seemed like he didn't want to work that evening. The service was... more

We enjoyed our dinner at the Wharf. I had the mahi mahi with garlic butter and my husband had the fried mahi mahi. We both thought our meals were very tasty, and the portions were perfect. We sat outside because all the tables indoors were taken. Our waiter was wonderful. He was very polite and friendly, and made sure all... more

Loud. So-so drinks. Foods okay. If fried seafood is your goal this is your place. more

Mediocre food--pretty much the cover-all-sins-in-butter-or-breading approach--but ferociously overpriced for the quality. $20 for five overbreaded, tasteless, greasy fried shrimp and fries, $8 for phony-tasting key lime pie with neon gorp drizzled over it, etc. Relatively indifferent, inexperienced waitstaff--sort of seemed like refugees from a skate park. We also encountered a hostess at the front door who was about as obnoxious... more

We visit our in-laws 2-3 times a year and sometime go to the Wharf to eat. Not anymore. The waitress started with a bad attitude off the bat. Beware that they have a 5 person per table minimum for gratuity to be automatically added to the bill. She knew this and knew that we probably did not see it in... more

I am serious the waitstaff is on meth. The food is average and the prices have skyrocketed to pay for their remodel. Avoid this place at all costs unless you have an extra lightbulb to flash because that's the only way you will get any attention from the methed out waitstaff. more

The Wharf...We will absolutely be repeat customers to this place...We stopped in and had Lunch with them. We both had the Fish and Chips Lunch special, and were delighted with the food and service. Our Server was great, very attentive to us, and the Fish was awesome! They brought us two HUGE pieces of Maui-Maui, with French Fries. I'm a... more

If you like Sushimi Tuna (cooked rare) nothing beats The Wharf. It comes out sizzling with rice and grilled veggies. Tremendous!!! more

My husband and I have been to Wharf about four times since it was rebuilt. We were hoping it to be as good as when it was a small place. Guess we have been at wrong times by reading the other comments. Slow service prevailed; food has been average. We spend about six months in Port A, and truly wish... more
