    This was our second time having Thanksgiving dinner at The Wharf. And just like last year, it didn't disappointed. Although it took about 20 minutes before we were seated, the wait was worth it. For starters I was really looking for a nice warm fall-type drink, and not seeing one on the menu, the waitress suggested a warm cider with rum concuction. With an added cinnamon stick, it just hit the spot! From the freshest seafood appetizers, salads and appetizers, all of which I sampled, met high standards. The butternut squash soup: delicious! I skipped the turkey this year and went for the prime rib (or is it roast beef), which was succulant, very flavorfull and cooked to perfection. Loved the stuffing and mashed potatoes. The dessert table is another whole treat. Set up in a seperate room, with all the selections about bite-sized, I choose a tiny lemon eclaire (yum!), a little chocolate mousse in it's own chocolate shell, and a pink macaroon. All just the right amount so that one can sample without feeling overstuffed. The staff was courtuous, efficient and always helpful. Thank you all for making it once again into a memorable holiday!

    We had the 7 course chef’s experience with wine pairing. Absolutely outstanding! The first course was unbelievably delicious. Yet somehow each course got even better. Wine selection was beautifully paired. Waiter was attentive and very helpful with descriptions. Loved our experience.
