This was a very nice place to have dinner. The atmosphere was very chill and the Samurai lager beer and seafood chowder were very good! My only recommendation would be to get a larger bowl of chowder for the price. It was delicious, but a little small for the money.
May was a great server. The staff were all very friendly and took good care of me!
Parking: Plenty of parking. After 6 during in the winter they have free parking.

We had 3 appetizers, the nachos, Rangoons and calamari and all were okay. We didn’t finish any of them and were all very tangy. Service was nice but extremely slow, we waited over 35 minutes for appetizers on a Thursday night. Very quiet vibe for a cool setting of a tiki bar.

Our first restaurant to try on our first day in Rhode Island. Great atmosphere outside on upper deck. The killer monte was awesome. We both had tacos, mahi mahi and swordfish.

my friend said the drinks were good, but the food was between mediocre and actually bad. the brussel sprouts were undercooked, unseasoned, and topped with no sauce. i’m genuinely astonished that a chef at a restaurant made and served them. the mahi mahi skewers have a “house sweet and sour sauce” that tastes like sour ketchup. the lobster sliders are lukewarm with nearly no butter and a minuscule amount of lettuce. i generally don’t leave reviews, but the brussel sprouts were so insultingly bad that i had to write this up.
our waitress was extremely kind. everything came out at a perfectly reasonable time. the manager even made rounds and greeted my table he seemed very nice. the only issue was the quality of the food.

Quite literally the best fried rice I’ve had in my entire life. Traveled up last summer from Baltimore with a friend, and did not ever stop thinking about the fried rice — so much so that I had to come back and get it again this year. Will probably be back as soon as I can afford gas and tolls again. Thank you so much for your service to this country Wharf Fishhouse & Tiki Bar (get the fried rice)

What an absolute gem of a place for great service, incredible food and amazing drinks in fun tiki glasses. Every dish was incredible and it was so good, I forgot to take food photos. I highly recommend enjoying lunch or dinner here when you are burnt out on lobster rolls.
We had crab Rangoon (made from scratch!), the mahi mahi fish tacos and the pork spare ribs. INCREDIBLE.

I travel a LOT for work and pleasure. I have been to establishments like this all over the place- and I have to be very honest when I tell you- if you cant accommodate a large party- say so when they arrive, and certainly do not accept a reservation for a large party and then not prepare to attentively serve them. If you do not have the staff to wait on all of the tables in your restaurant, either hire more help, or close down a portion of it when you are short staffed. The food was ok, but I am guessing it would be better if it came out when it was made and not an hour+ after it was ordered. Honestly, I would rather be turned away because you can't accommodate than to be subjected to rude and slow service. Additionally, as mentioned in other reviews- if the bartender speaks that way to customers all the time, you won't need to hire more staff- because you will run out of paying customers and all you will have left are the folks that wrote the reviews on 4/28 as a favor to their pal behind the bar. They were just as rude as he was that night. Just a hunch, but I don't think those folks will be enough for you to keep the place running. I very much enjoy the luxury of eating at new places and I am also the type of person who over-tips at a minimum, and I make every effort to ensure an excessive tip when presented with excellent service. I bartended myself many years ago, and I understand the overwhelm that can sometimes come along with it- but the behavior of the staff at this place is beyond inappropriate for the service industry. I would have loved to love this place, but I shouldn't feel the need to watch out for and protect my friends after overhearing the bartender and his friends at the bar speak to them in such a threatening tone. Unprofessional is an understatement. If you don't like the public, you are in the wrong profession.
