    Let's start with Carmela, the hostess and person who took our reservation: wonderful! Carmela was very helpful and made our stay easy and a pleasure by finding us the perfect outdoor patio table. Then our server Martha was a great pleasure: happy, helpful, and attentive. Even the server assistant, Emilie, was a pleasure. All in all, a lovely, wonderful dinner overlooking Long Island Sound. Couldn't ask for more in a dinner experience!

    The Wharf is consistently very good. The view of Long Island sound and the Madison shore and small islands is beautiful. Menu seems updated and offers many excellent options. The food, drinks and service never disappoint. In summary, the the Wharf is much more than a great view. They do it right.

    We had excellent service From Kevin our Server. I had the mussels with the white broth and my wife had the Peking Duck that was outstanding. Definitely need to keep those 2 on the menu. The atmosphere was really nice too. It was a great night and experience overall.

    Shrimp cocktail, oysters, mussels and tuna tartare appetizers were delicious. The Duck and pan-seared Scallops entrees were excellent. Wait staff were super nice, attentive and made the evening that much more enjoyable.

    The Wharf has a beautiful setting. The servers are efficient and friendly. The food, however, was not what we expected. The fish and chips were soggy and the lobster roll was dry. A beautiful view cannot make up for everything....

    Thank you for your feedback. While we’re pleased you enjoyed the setting and service, we’re disappointed to hear the food did not meet our standards. Your comments have been shared with our culinary team, and we hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide a better experience

    First time here for lunch. Sat on the beautiful open deck but the wind kicked up so we moved inside (mid-Aptril). Attentive service including being checked on by the manager. Fabulous burgers. Beautiful beet and arugala salad. Competitive meal pricing. Highly recommend. Excellent valet parking service even though there was a large private luncheon party goingn on.
