I went to this restaurant for a special occasion. I have never been there before. The outside of restaurant is okay looking but what is important is the good, service, and atmosphere. The inside was a little cute. It has a nautical theme. It also had a cozy atmosphere; not stuffy and formal but casual. When we all sat down it took awhile to be seen by a waitress. That was fine. We finally got our drinks ordered. I did order one cocktail and it was NOT good at all!!! The we ordered appetizers, fried mushrooms and cheese curds. The fried mushrooms were good but cheese curds were okay. I ordered the maple bacon and onion burger with fried and onion rings. The burger was okay, bland in taste. Fries were good and so we're the onion rings. The waitress did keep up with our drinks, but she was uninterested and lack of personality or care showed. She didn't check to see how we enjoyed food or make comment on our special occasion... Overall, I was unimpressed. It meal was over$100 for 3 people. Yes we bought two alcoholic beverages, 2 appetizers, and 3 meals. So not super expensive but it was costly for mediocre meal. I was excited to come here and it was a little of a let down with the whole experience. I have pictures of the food and will try to add if later.

I came down from Chicago as a tourist. I have never experienced fried sliced mushrooms till I got here. I don’t think I could ever go back to whole mushrooms. The batter was so light and flavorful that’s including the onion rings. I originally got the garlic cheese carts. They were so delicious that I ended up ordering later on in our meal the spicy cheese curds. A spicy cheese curds Will creep up on you and the heat will stay with you but in a good way and not as a punishment. I asked the waitress about the batter and she had said that everything is battered by hand. Before I go onto our main meal, I have to rave about the ranch! Thick tangy housemade; I wanted to take this back to Chicago. The Warf Burger was delicious but the Canadian bacon put it over the top and the grilled onions were a touch of perfection. The mashed potatoes was a bit basic but that gravey was absolutely fire! The buffalo chicken horseshoe was thick! So much cheese (who’s complaining?)! The chicken was moist and cooked perfectly. The buffalo sauce was a great contrast with all that cheese. They serve Pepsi drinks.

What a pleasant eatery. Open/bright/clean. Excellent service & food!!
This place is SO MUCH MORE than you'd expect from its exterior. The food was excellent. I brought a pretty persnickety chef with me and he was wowed by their seafood. My sister insists they have the best chicken livers in the Midwest.

We had quit going to The Wharf several years ago, it was dirty and the crowd was very noisy and sometimes very crude. Learned a new owner had remolded and we wanted to give it a try. We had gone on a couple of Fridays to have the fried cod, which we both enjoyed. Our last trip there, which will be our "last" trip, was not as enjoyable. Sign says "wait to be seated", so when the owner said we could sit at seats next to the fireplace, we could see an empty table that we'd rather sit at. The owner then said she saves the tables, with 4 seats and for us to sit at the table with two seats, which is right next to another same size table, literally on top of each other. I told my wife lets go, she said that maybe no one would sit next to us, but that plan dissolved almost immediately. A younger man, soon joined by a woman sat at the table. They both work at Tillamook, which I'm certain they don't mind me mentioning, as both talked loud enough for almost all to hear. The man complained and griped about his job incessantly, nonstop. It was a miserable experience, and then coupled with the catfish that was grossly under cooked, made matters worse. Catfish, by way, because they had no cod, actually didn't offer a fish special, which is odd for a town that has a very large Catholic presence. As soon as we arrived home, had to remove our clothing, straight to the washer, as it smelled like we had worked the fryer that evening. All the time wishing that I had followed my original thought, let's get out of here.

We have eaten there 3 times & the food was good. Last weekend the weather was beautiful so we asked for the patio. Unfortunately the patio is nothing more than an alley with a fence around it & weeds growing up. After being parked out there with no drinks & waiting for a good 20 minutes we went inside. We witnessed the manager talking down to employees, & being rude to customers so we ended up leaving. With the right management & cleaning the place up a little it could be a nice little place with good food & a nice selection of beer on tap.
Great food at a very reasonable price. Service is excellent.
