    What a night to remember!!! The service and food were outstanding. Thank you for making our last family meal in Forster so enjoyable. We have not stopped talking about. I wish I could be back there right now. From the beautiful wait staff to the delicious food, the highlight of my time in Forster.

    Thank you for having us for my Mum’s 60th birthday dinner! The Gin tasting board was a real hit and the food was absolutely delicious.

    Great wait staff. Perceptive. Helpful. Friendly. Noisyish...but you just have to wear that. Food is great. Efficient friendly service. Entrées and mains extensive and cater to a variety of tastes. We always go the oysters with the gin mignonette....and the Hokkaido scallops absolutely superb. Market fish was swordfish with Malabar curry....but last night it was barra. Personal preference was the swordfish. Good well priced wine list and beer selections. Extensive opening hours.

    We've been to Wharf St several times and have found the food very hit and miss. Sometimes it's great and other times very ordinary. This time the food was terrible and the ingredients didn't match what was on the menu. Grape tomatoes from Woolies are not Heirloom tomatoes. The food did not meet our expectations and we don't know if we'll return. The only redeeming thing was the amazing service we received from the server who went above and beyond.

    We had high hopes for Wharf St Distillery. The menu looked exceptional but if you’re going to charge high prices the quality of the food needs to match. And while some of it measured up - scallops, prawns - the rest, particularly the octopus (which was taken off our bill) didn’t. Disappointed.
