    Came here to socialize with professionals that are similar to me for dinner.

    Menu looked good and was eyeing on the drunken scallop for appetizer and mushroom chicken scalopini for main.

    The scallop wasn't those fresh scallop as I could tell by my first taste. Couldn't really taste the "Asahi beer" on the batter and it was loose when I was cutting the scallops. The salad accompanied it was good. The condiments on it was in good proportion as well. Unfortunately, even though the plate was decorated well, it didn't really satisfy my tastebuds.

    The mushroom chicken scalopini came in a large portion. Unfortunately after a few spoonfuls and appetizer, it was too much for me. The chicken was dry and came in two big chunks, the cauliflowers and broccoli just filled up most of the plate and the sauce which came with it wasn't enough and cold. Have to credit them for how they designed the dish.

    Service was good. The waitress came over to get our orders as soon as we stepped in but there was a long pause between the appetizer and the main dish. We were also not allowed to order on the first round. But they filled the bottle of water quickly when they noticed we had empty bottles sitting on our tables. Unfortunately, the water wasn't chilled so we had sort of plain tap water.

    For a large group, this place definitely is spacious even though the chair I was sitting on was shaky. We had a nice view of the waters. For $60, it was definitely an expensive meal. Would rather go somewhere else where they serve better food.

    Awesome location and great lounge chairs at the front to enjoy a glass of wine and sun but that's where it ends....

    Food is pretty average and they seem to struggle with service.

    Wouldn't rush back!!!

    Nice casual dining right on the waterfront in the Honeysuckle precinct. Very nice on a balmy summer evening.

    We found the meals to be somewhat average. The music was way too loud for comfortable table conversation. But the service was fantastic.

    We had a toddler with us on the evening we went there and he was a bit unsettled and broke a glass. The waiter was incredibly professional in the way he handled it. Well done!!

    The Wharf is a great location for a casual and intimate dining experience. the food is consistent and excells, the staff are welcoming and helpfull. This place is great for small or larger groups and caters for gluten-free options. A great relaxing venue with the occasional live performance of local musicians.
