    A family group of 8, had dined at The Wharf, happy for a long-awaited gathering with relatives who travelled from out-of-state. Our table was ready & waiting for us at our appointed reservation time. Our group which included children were well taken care of by the staff. Cocktails put us in a relaxed experience from the outset. Food was fresh and all dishes were well-executed and enjoyed. We started with oysters and calamari, both excellent. One in our party gobbled up with gusto the Maryland Seafood Chowder; steaks were cooked perfectly accompanied by tasty french fries; seafood dishes were all terrific. A bottle of sauvignon blanc was the perfect pairing to our fish dishes. Being fully satisfied, we forgo dessert. A lovely evening was had by all.
