I've been to the Wharf on several occasions for lunch and dinner. I like the way you order at the…read morefront counter and select your own seating and they just bring you your food. The servers have always been super sweet and check on us throughout the visit provided additional condiments and refills as needed. They do have some really good selections of fish at a fair price. The bacon wrapped shrimp keeps me coming back. They do have a bar but I haven't had anything from it yet maybe in future I will try and see how the cocktails are. I also enjoy that they have various seasonal offerings and daily specials. The dinner area is open with a fishing theme. It's very casual so there is no need to dress up but the food is still excellent.

My sister, her husband and my nephew have met us here a couple of times now. The last time half of the dining room was closed (understandably for a slow Monday night) and unfortunately that meant we had to sit at 2 separate tables since none of the ones on the open side could accommodate 6 people. Food arrives quick enough but not so fast that you worry it was sitting under a heat lamp. Food tastes great and obviously good enough that we keep coming back. Service can be hit or miss. Next month when we get together will probably suggest somewhere else but more for a change of pace than a reflection on Wharf.

You can point out the obvious cause almost every weekend you will see a camouflage outfit or some sort of military uniform.

We chose the restaurant because we were staying at the hotel. I would say dishes wise they are more on the sweet size. The potato crips had jam around them. The lamb had a sweet glaze on top. I am more of a savory person. Overall still a good dinner and night.

This place is in the shopping center next to the Vestavia AMC on Highway 31. This place is beautiful and clean - just like the food. They prepare your meal fresh while you watch. I chose the Chicken Tinga bowl with cauliflower rice, and a Pomegranate Mint Lemonade. The nice guy talked me through all of the ingredients as he was fixing the bowl. The bowl was recyclable, and full of deliciousness. Chicken with a touch of heat, corona cheese, kale, celery, black beans, corn, cauliflower rice, avocado half, and a sweet-spicy dressing, all mixed together in a beautiful blend. I could not stop eating - it was THAT good. And if you are not a fan of pomegranate or mint, then you may not appreciate the Pomegranate Mint Lemonade like I did. So delicious and refreshing! (And yes, I took the last of this lemonade out of the container.) Appreciate the friendly service and the amazing food. Well worth the $22.00 paid for it!

This was my first visit to not only this location but even any similar concept…read more Since I have been trying to do a little bit better for my health, I am trying to make better choices and this seemed like a good place to help with those decisions. I decided to go with the Southwestern Steak Salad (Cabbage & Cilantro Blend, Romaine, Seared Steak, Black Beans, Corn, Jalapeño Peppers, Pickled Red Onion, Tortilla Chips) but left out the peppers & onions for personal preference. You can customize however you like even substituting different toppings. The steak was cooked well done but not dry and seasoned well. I found the chipotle ranch to have a bit more heat than I expected and would probably choose a different dressing next time. The serving size was very filling even for someone like me with a big appetite. The staff was friendly & helpful and restaurant was clean with a good amount of seating. It seemed to have more people ordering to go than dining in but was nice enough if not pretty plain. Overall I will likely return and try some other options but I'm not in a big hurry to go back.

There was some issue with a party in front of me that may have contributed but since they were in the process of being seated when I walked in and I was next in line, it seemed unusually longer than expected for someone else to step in and assist which led to several parties being backed up behind me by the time I was taken to a table. I had already checked out the menu ahead of time and knew I wanted to try the Shrimp and Grits (Sautéed Cajun shrimp and andouille sausage cooked Lowcountry-style with chicken stock, house-roasted tomatoes and onions, diced green bell peppers and scallions atop Bob's Red Mill Cheddar Parmesan cheese grits. Served with artisan ciabatta toast.) I expected it to be much more flavorful and found it to be fairly bland tasting. The grits did have a cheesy flavor but unfortunately was unable to overcome the disappointment I had in the rest of the dish. The bread while fresh was meh as well. The highlight was the Blackberry Tea I chose for my drink. Once seated the service was attentive. I had tried this location before years ago and think I was similarly unimpressed which had led to me skipping it until now. With many other really good brunch type options in the vicinity, I likely will not be back.
