Visitors appreciate the fresh seafood and the opportunity for fishing. While generally positive, some may find parking challenging during peak times.
"Such a great setting with views out over the water. We received great friendly service from the waitress as soon as we approached the door. The seafood platter was nice with a variety of food selections, as were our mains. Plenty of different meals to choose from on the menu. Desert menu looked yummy too but we just couldn’t fit it in, so we will be back to try that one day too."

"A Memorable Celebration at The Wharf Café
I recently had the pleasure of hosting my partner’s 60th birthday at The Wharf Café, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, PJ, the owner, went above and beyond to make the night special. His level of professionalism and dedication was truly exceptional.
PJ was incredibly helpful in every aspect of the event, from assisting with shuttle arrangements for our guests to offering advice on the best setup for the evening. His generosity and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly.
The food was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor, leaving everyone at the party raving.
A special thank you to PJ and his wonderful staff, whose friendly and attentive service truly made the night memorable. I was even able to decorate the restaurant the night before, which added a personal touch to the event.
The entire celebration was a success, thanks to the incredible hospitality and support from PJ and his team. I highly recommend The Wharf Café for any special occasion — they made my partner's milestone birthday unforgettable. A huge thank you once again!
