The Wharf

Very lovely restaurant! Beautiful atmosphere. All the servers were very professional, checking in on our needs when necessary. In particular, Prabh was an excellent server. He was humorous, kind, and knowledgeable; an asset to his team. Food was great, cocktails were delicious, very happy with the whole evening

I dined at The Wharf in Glenelg last night, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional from beginning to end. The atmosphere struck a perfect balance between refined elegance and inviting warmth. The staff were impeccably presented, and the setting exuded a sense of coastal sophistication that truly elevated the evening. We began with the Aburi Sauce Oysters, which were outstanding. Impeccably fresh with a luscious, smoky sriracha mayo that enhanced rather than masked the oyster’s delicate flavor. The Seared Scallops were flawlessly cooked. Tender and succulent, it was accompanied by a rich curried sauce with cauliflower, peas and carrots. The Seared Tuna was the star of the night. Fresh, velvety in texture, and seared to perfection, which dissolved on the palate. Complemented by a silky, buttery sauce that achieved a beautiful harmony to each bite. Each dish was presented with finesse, a testament to the kitchen’s precision and artistry. Our server, Zoe, was exceptional. Poised, attentive, and genuinely engaged, ensuring every aspect of our dining experience felt personal and effortless. The entire team operated with quiet professionalism, maintaining a seamless flow throughout the evening and with so much joy. Management should be proud! We concluded with a surprise Birthday Dessert, a stunning finale that was as thoughtfully crafted as it was visually captivating. A perfect way to end a memorable night with some decadent chocolate truffles, dehydrated strawberries and chocolate crumb. Overall, The Wharf surpassed every expectation. The cuisine was flawless, the service exemplary, and the ambiance unforgettable. We will certainly return, this is without question one of Adelaide's finest dining experiences.

Highly recommended! Food quality was amazing, service outstanding, beautiful views. Can not say anything bad about The Wharf, will definitely be back.

A really good restaurant. I recommend 100%. The setting and the great ambiance, the extraordinary staff and the delicious dishes

We had a fabulous family lunch. Peaceful ambience, ocean views and superb table service. Our waitress knew just when to come back and knew how to pour wine. Great food...the grilled whiting was the best I can remember having. An afternoon to savour...and we will be back very soon. Thank you.

Absolutely fantastic food!!! Staff were wonderful, very helpful. Was lovely to sit outside and enjoy the marina!

Prab and his team were amazing! They were very attentive, kind, knowledgeable and catered to all dietary requests/ preferences with ease. Thank you for a beautiful experience! I'll be back and tell anyone who will listen!

We had such a wonderful New Year’s Eve dinner, and a huge part of that was thanks to Johanna, our amazing waiting staff. She truly went the extra mile—so warm, patient, and incredibly thoughtful. She entertained our daughters so beautifully, which made the whole evening completely stress-free for us. Her kindness, genuine smile, and effortless way of making everyone feel looked after turned a lovely dinner into a truly memorable experience. Johanna is an absolute gem, and we are so grateful for the care she showed our family. Thank you for giving us a perfect start to the new year! 🌟✨

This is one of those places that you know the food will be average but go because of the great views. The chicken schnitzel was ok but the seafood chowder was surprisingly good - big chunky prawns and salmon with a rich, creamy broth. Get that dish

Had a wonderful experience at The Wharf a month or so ago while I travelled to Adelaide to see the Soundwave Festival. We walked up and down looking at the various restaurants, and this one looked inviting. When we walked in we were greeted very warmly and seated promptly with menus. First we ordered the Tasting Plate (Pic Uploaded) which included: Arancini balls, chicken skewers, 1/2 shell scallops, Morton Bay bugs and a trio selection of dips with bread ($39.90) It was all delicious - in particular the Arancini balls - wow... memorable!!! After that we were both rather satisfied enough not to order a main each. We asked if we could order the Braised Caramel Pork Belly (Served on a bed of spiced apples and honey orange gaze - $19). We asked for additional cutlery so we could share the plate however they actually split the belly into two and served us on two separate plates. (Pic Included). It was delicious... :) All in all a great meal was had at The Wharf in Glenelg.

Its my first time here. Coming from the California that my favorite meal is the Chicken Parmigiana...here they serve it with a bed of fries!!!! Yes, yes, it was very good and my new favorite meal in Australia :)

Dinner here was nothing short of disappointing. We were a group of 8 and all ordered different dishes for mains. We ordered several garlic breads as starters which were quite delicious and I wish I had just ordered several serves of that for my main. Our mains were very disappointing, I had the special of beer battered John Dory, chips were very oily and well over cooked, nothing special at all for $24.90. Others had steak, special pasta, pork belly, all were equally disappointing. The dish that was somewhat tasty was the salmon. Service was great, no complaints on that side, however when our bill was almost $450, the food was extremely disappointing and none of us are keen to return. Definitely not value for money considering some mains were over $35.

Excellent food and location. Friendly, knowledgeable and efficient service from Patrick. Bruschetta was a triumph.

It was my first time here and was presently surprised!! I hadn't heard much about the wharf so didn't really know what to expect. We had a scoopon which gave us a glass of wine or beer, entree and main. We shared dips and olives for entree and I had the pork belly as my main. We had a choice of four options for our main. I was torn and the wait staff were very helpful in getting me to make a decision. The pork belly was amazing!!! We were all very happy with our meals and the service was spot on!!!

Staff were very friendly, and we felt welcomed from the minute we sat down. Unfortunately the food did not match the service. Overcooked steaks and the salt and pepper squid was flavourless. Nice oysters and the seafood plate was good. Overall, this place is overpriced for the food we received. Very hard to return when there are so many options nearby.

Nice menu. Friendly and efficient staff. Ordered a chicken satay starter and surprised at the size of the meal. Enjoyed eating here. Relaxed and food well prepared. Seemed popular with locals.

Not bad restaurant on the Marina Pier at Glenelg. The ambience was nice and service was good also. I ordered the grilled chicken breast. It was hard to finish as was rather thick and felt a little tough also. The asparagus had a nice smoked flavor to them which I had not tasted before but enjoyed! The Wharf is a nice dining experience but I would not rush there to visit again.

We were a large group on a Saturday lunch. But my parents were regulars and recognised as such. They still had to pay a deposit to hold the table. King George Whiting was $42 . Sammy's a premier restaurant next door is cheaper. My husband's steak came without a side. We ordered bottles of sparkling wine when we arrived, took close to half an hour to arrive at the table. The waitress took the orders in order around the table but the delivery was called out from one end to the other. Food great, service great, prices should have been Pub not silver service.
