    Took friends to help celebrate their anniversary. We joined the oysters the most. They were cooked to perfection. This might be my favorite restaurant now.

    We made a reservation to make sure we had a table. We were seated on time, all was good. Ten minutes after seating two people stopped by to let us know someone would be there soon to help us (restaurant was very empty for a Thursday at 6:30pm, maybe because of rain). Another 5-10 minute later someone takes our drink order. 5-10 minutes later we get drinks and order oysters. Those come fast but we have no silverware, napkins, Tabasco, crackers, etc…I had to chase those down. We order dinner and two more drinks. Soda water is flat so we ask for a new drink, it never comes. We finally ask for wine instead. Overall it took two hours for an app, steak and grouper and two drinks each. Food was not bad but not great either. We would understand if the restaurant was busy but it was never full and never on a wait while we were there (6:30-8:30pm).

    Hello Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your oysters and found the food satisfactory, but we sincerely apologize for the slow service and the missing essentials like silverware, napkins, and condiments. That’s certainly not the level of hospitality we aim to provide. We appreciate your feedback about the timing and drink issues, especially since the restaurant wasn’t busy during your visit. We’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure smoother, more attentive service moving forward. We value your patronage and hope you’ll give us another chance to deliver a truly exceptional experience. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you’d like to discuss this further. Thank you, Brittney Highers GM

    At first glance prices were higher than expected, but when the food came out the portion size showed the value. The food was great. Love the ambiance and view from the back porch. Kills the predecessor Whiskey Joe’s!! I am local and will definitely be coming back!

    The Wharf Fish & Oyster Co. promises fresh Gulf flavors and waterfront views, but the reality fell short. Food was mediocre overall. We ordered a variety of items—1/2 dozen raw oysters, seafood chowder, grouper, seafood boil, and wagyu steak; the chowder was the best dish but arrived lukewarm. Service started on a positive note with a kind and welcoming hostess. However, table service quickly declined. Multiple drink orders were incorrect, and servers ignored unbussed tables despite what looked like ample staff for the number of patrons. Contributing to an overall lackluster atmosphere. Walking into a nearly empty restaurant at 7 PM in a high-tourist area, while the spot next door had a line outside, should have been a warning. Unfortunately, it proved accurate.

    When arriving the hostess seemed confused on where to sit us. Stood and waited about 5-10mins without anyone saying what was going on. When entering the women’s bathroom the ceiling was leaking some sort of water. But we understand things happen. It felt like there was minimum AC in the building. Ordering a glass of wine and a sweet tea took over 15 mins to get. Never asked about any food allergies. The waiter was kind and friendly- he helped us with deciding on an appetizer. When ordering our meals they were out of both of our picks. So defaulting to a less quality cut steak- that was ordered medium. Comes out well done. Take over 20 mins for the order to be remade correctly. Another 15-20mins for the second glass of wine to make its way to the table. My husbands sea food boil was at best like warm when it arrived. Finally my meal comes out as the rest of the party was already done and ready to leave the table. We were offered a “free brownie” that took another 20mins to only ask if it was coming for the manager to say “the kitchen must have fallen asleep back there” and then took another 10 mins to make. All of this mind you is with my sr mother and out 5 year old daughter. At this time the restaurant is clearly experiencing some sort of AC issue and we are sweaty, hot and ready to go. While making a quick trip into the women bathroom- while in the stall a male and a female come in to discuss the leak- NEVER announcing they were coming in- I said “someone’s in here” and they both left without saying a word. They tried to make it look like we received a $60 on out bill in fact the only thing we got was a $0 dessert. Everything else was removed and put back on. We come to town a few times a year and I know we will never come back. Our start to finish was 2 hours and 10 mins. For something that should have been about an hour.

Please know your concerns are being addressed with our team. While we regret that we won’t have the chance to serve you again, we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. Thank you, Brittney Highers GM
