“Went on a Tuesday night which happened to be Karaoke night. It was a fun evening with a full house of people of all ages. I had the Lobster Bisque (excellent) and the fried clams, also good. I intend to make it a regular stop. It is outdoor dining only.“

“We rented out the restaurant for the evening for a wedding elopement celebration. The bartenders were absolutely amazing and so on point! The food was not bite-size but real burgers and sandwiches and so delicious. The DJ was added onto the party package by the restaurant and people danced all night. Everything was turned key I didn’t have to worry about anything at all it was such a fun night and such a beautiful location because it was decorated for the holidays. It comfortably fit 50 people! I wish I could throw the party all over again highly recommend this spot for a private event!!“

“Good service drinks and people“

“I wish we took pictures but we devoured everything as soon as it dropped ? I celebrated 1 year w my love, the same place we had our 1st date, last night and absolutely everything was so incredible. The service and ambiance was beautifully on point. We ordered the calamari special and that sauce I could have drank; basically did. We also had the Brussels (I’m obsessed), crab bites, bang bang shrimp and pesto gnocchi. The order and timing in which every plate was dropped really let us both enjoy and dive into what our palettes were experiencing with each dish. What a beautiful experience. We were supposed to go to Prime in Huntington but are trying to cut back w the spending. We were absolutely not disappointed and I think left more satisfied than if we had gone for steaks. Thank you for a beautiful evening with out-of-this-world culinary creations. We will absolutely be coming back here ASAP. And the bathrooms were clean!!! ??????“

“Cant say more about someplace else, very happy to have you all my friends!?“

“As a musician who has played so many bars all over NY state I must say the environment at Tailgsters is so incredibly special. First, they treat the bands with love and respect. It should be the norm but sadly it’s not always the case. They go above and beyond. From the ownership to every single enologee that works there, it’s impossible not to absolutely love every person associated with this bar. The crowd is great and super friendly and safe and I genuinely look forward to playing there again. They treat their customers, staff; and performers like family. Really like family. I am so grateful that we’ve played there twice and I’m already looking to playing there again. Michelle behind the bar is a genuinely great person and makes awesome drinks, but every single person there is so approachable and engaging. I can recommend Tailgsters as a genuinely fun environment that treats everyone like family. I look forward to just visiting when I’m not playing. Impressed is a huge understatement. Thank you so much for treating our band the way you did. Truly an Awsome night and the staff and crowd at Tailgatets made our night extra special. Thank you for being genuine and amazing people. They’re doing it right!!! Beyond grateful for an awesome night!!! Thank you!!!!“

“Yes!, but I have been there a few times all have been great but this last time. The food was salty. I mean every dish. We spoke to manager who was extremely nice. Apologize and did the right thing. But I will go back for sure“

“A very welcome addition to the Ocean Beach Restaurant and Bar scene. Appreciated. Great apps. Nice lunch and dinner menu. Couldn't be more central location, directly across from the ferry basin. Chow down and have a cocktail as you watch the ferries come and go. THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER FERRY!“

“Working with “The Wharf” has exceeded our expectations.
The staff and management has been incredibly accommodating, not just the day of the event, but also during the planning process.
They did not miss a detail.
The space is beautiful, the food was delicious.
Our friends and family were in the best hands.
The friendliness of the staff has been complimented by many of them.
We highly recommend The Wharf!!
