Great spot for summer!! Took my friend here for dinner, my friend had the chicken sandwhich. She liked it but the fries not so much and i got salmon, it's good 10/10. We got here just in time for the sunsets too 😍 you should too. They have a bar where you can wait to be seated. Good drinks 👍 the margarita 🍹👍. It is behind the gas station !!!

I really love this waterfront restaurant. The beautiful summer flavors are just amazing. I usually order the grilled avocados and lobster roll, but this time we added the white wine mussels to the mix. The bread that came with it was fantastic, especially with that light touch of garlic. We were really impressed. Also, the French onion soup was a little on the watery side.

The food was decent enough, the view was great but the wait was quite large. Admittedly we were a party of 8 but even considering that we waited nearly an hour for a seat. The service was great albeit a little slow, but the kitchen was backed up with orders. I ordered the fish tacos which were delightful, however the fries were unevenly cooked and unsalted. There are as well a plethora of lantern flies around our seat even considering the fact that we were sat outside.

I recently dined at The Wharf, and I must say the views are absolutely gorgeous! It's a perfect spot if you want to enjoy a meal with a stunning backdrop. As for the food, it was quite good. We ordered the lobster roll, margarita pizza, shrimp roll, Caesar salad, butter pasta, quesadilla, and calamari. Each dish was well-prepared and satisfying. The food came out quickly, which was great since we were pretty hungry after a 30-minute wait to get seated. One downside, however, was that we weren't informed that the restaurant is cash-only until it was time to pay. This was a bit of a shock, and while there are ATMs available, it was super inconvenient. I guess most locals are aware, but as visitors, it was an unexpected hurdle. Overall, despite the cash-only policy, the combination of good fo

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Lea Pfandler · May 2023

This is such a pity, honestly. Such a great spot and beautiful view, and the server was very understanding and super friendly, hence the 2 points. But the food was absolutely terrible and insanely overpriced. I live in the city and the prices here are absolutely uncalled for, especially because the quality is more than poor. I got the Caesar salad, which cost $11 (!) and it was literally just loveless pieces of lettuce sprinkled with a bland sauce and bland, unseasoned croutons. For $11! No shaved Parmesan, nothing. It was really, really not good at all! And the burger felt like we were eating at McDonald’s. For this price, and for the fact that we’re in Rockaway, not Manhattan, you’d truly expect something else here. So utterly disappointing, I won’t dine here again. I hope the management
