Food was ok, but lunch for 2 with decent tip hit $120, and we didn't even have drinks. The clam chowder was a little runny for my taste. The 2 crab cakes were small and flavorless, and $28. Won't be ordering that again. The molten Chocolate Bomb dessert was the best thing we had, followed by the free bread.

Another terrible place that disguises itself as an upscale, nice place. Theres a reason this place has almost dipped into the 3 star range on yelp. Not sure how it's so high on google. Stay clear away from this disaster.

Not the same, been declining for many years. But I was hoping after the remodel they would improve. Unfortunately, it’s worse.
Shrimp cocktail chewy
Steamed clams rubbery
Grilled artichoke wet and soggy.

I will not go back.
Has not been good for over 10 years now.

There are a few restaurants where being there is part of the pleasure. Walt’s has a vibe however silly that may read. Friendly. Inviting. Comfortsble. Welcoming staff. Then you get to the service and food. To me this is a very special place. Food is excellent. Timing is excellent. Staff is quality. Prices are not cheap. You pay some. But the experience is very positive. Wines and beers are diverse. Just one of those places you look forward to coming back and feel warm smiles about.

All I can say is bravo Walts Wharf!! What a come back! I grew up in the area and have been going since I was a kid. Went with my family last week and it was even better than I remembered. Clam chowder was fantastic, some of the best I've ever had (and I live on the east cost now!). Everyone in my family ordered something different and each entree was super tasty. I definitely plan on going back the next time I'm in town. And special shoutout to our waitress - my grandma is super hard of hearing, and she was very patient and kind with my grandma, making the whole experience much easier for her. So thanks Walt's Wharf for an amazing evening and delicious food!

First time back in almost 30 years. The food was very good and
the portions were generous. The service, by Ceciliia, was excellent. The prices are in line with similar places.
