I loved this place! Â The husband and I came here for lunch to refuel after biking from Oak Bluffs. Â The location is perfect as it's right on Main Street where everything is.
The atmosphere seems like what I would expect a place called the Wharf to look like. Â Cozy, dimly lit, darker furniture. Â And it was nice and busy. Â A lot of people like to complain when a restaurant is busy (i.e. too loud, slow service) but I love it. Â It means the place is doing its job.
I ordered the fish and chips and the hubs ordered a turkey sandwich. Â My fish and chips were awesome! Â The fish was clearly fresh and the outside was perfectly crunchy. Â I'm not sure what they are using for the batter but it's working. Â The hubs really enjoyed his turkey sandwich too.
Our server was young and obviously this was a summer job for her but she was friendly and very knowledgeable about the menu as well as the local beer. Â
Something I'd like to highlight:
One of the things I generally observe when I'm in a restaurant is how well the staff gets along with each other and if they seem like they enjoy being there. Â What I saw here was impressive. Â Although it was busy, all of the servers, hostesses were smiling, not only with their tables, but also laughing with each other. I also saw the general manager serving food (ours included) and laughing with customers. Â This level of enjoyment and teamwork is something most restaurants overlook, as it doesn't seem to be a priority for them. Â Â But believe me we notice, and the Wharf, with it's overall friendly atmosphere, created an environment that made me feel relaxed, comfortable, and very happy. Â Great job to the owners/manager who I consider responsible for that.
