The Wharf - JEKYLL ISLAND

Long wait, but wanted outdoor seating that is limited as we expected. We had a lot of time to use the facilities and enjoy a nice adult drink at the bar while we waited for our table. Nice view! Lunch menu seemed limited, but this is the standard for most places. The food was great, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Very relaxed atmosphere. Very enjoyed!

After working with middle schooler all day, Susannah took great care of us. Dear I say she me be the best waiter on Jekyll Island. Food was great! View was amazing! Ate on the outside deck. Make sure to go while the sun is setting.

We drove up to Jekyll Island at night from Orlando and our first destination was The Wharf. We arrived at 830pm, the parking lot was a short walk down the dock to the restaurant. We saw a sign for dolphin sighting boat tours and thought that would be great in warmer weather. We walked in and immediately thought, 'what a beautiful restaurant '. The hostess asked if we preferred a booth or a table. I jokingly mentioned we wanted to sit outside (it was 40 degrees out) but would take a booth. Our server Jenny, was really helpful and just fabulous. She recommended some entries as we almost always order fish dip when it 's on any menu. The fish dip had great flavor and a creamy texture. It was served with crackers in a circular cup. For dinner, the children had chicken fingers. My son asked for Mac n ' Cheese instead of fries and they were able to accommodate it which was really nice. I stole a bite of the Mac n ' Cheese and it was delicious. Definitely not box stuff. The chicken fingers were also very good, the breading had flavor, a nice crisp and the chicken was still moist. I had the maple glazed Salmon which was cooked a perfect medium. I 've been eating a lot of salmon lately and this was probably one of my favorites. The candied ginger pecan crumble was flavorful and provided quite a combination of texture and crunch. I ate and enjoyed the entire dish, there was nothing left. I also tasted the Soba bowl, the total combination was perfect especially on a cold night. I was a little jealous. The shrimp, noodles and broth were delicious. On our way out Jenny provided some recommendations for places to check out while in town and was super friendly. Definitely some southern hospitality. Thank You Jenny!

Casual dining with a great on-the-water atmosphere. Came for lunch and sat outside on the deck. Restaurant was busy and we waited over an hour to get our food. When food did come out it was not hot. Regardless of food temperature it was still good. Service was friendly and remained attentive despite being back and forth among tables. Expect to pay $15-$30 per person depending on food entree selected.

We ordered the maple-glazed salmon served on a bed of kale, accompanied by raisins and pecans, and we also had sweet potatoes on the side. The total for our snack was around $40 before the tip, but it was truly delicious. I highly recommend this place, especially for the fantastic service!
