Sophia D
Amazing fish and seafood on the beach. Cozy vibes inside and good service. The food is very fresh and tastes delicious. Definitely worth the price. Loved the artichoke and ahi tuna. Good gluten free options, not many vegetarian options. Must go to if you're in seal beach. Went again recently and so good. Love sitting in the window, having bread and a cocktail, then ordering dinner. High quality fish and fresh food.

One of the things that I cannot overestimate is how good the service was. I ordered a whiskey that the bartender did not know wasn't on the menu twice lol however they did compensate by giving me Their highest top shelf whiskey at a regular price it was a very nice gesture. I got the oysters on a 1/2 shell, they were very fresh and very tasty.. The halibut was very good a very nice portion next time I return I am definitely going to have to get the blackened catfish

Had the fish and chips and they were definitely delicious! Chips were just right. I’m picky about tartar sauce and theirs was really good. Atmosphere is great with a beach and nautical theme! They keep you water and beverages filled and the staff was attentive and knowledgeable.

Reservation was not required for lunch. We were seated promptly, and we ordered the clam chowder, it was good! I had the almadine trout, it was okay. My friend ordered the fish and chips which was good. For dessert, we ordered their cookies & cream, not my favorite. Service was very fast as we had barely finished the clam chowder before our main course arrived. Overall good food and service!

This was my second time to go to this Restaurant. Lunch, now dinner. Chef Johnny is fantastic! My friend is a Chef, and she said everything was perfect!! Even the iceberg lettuce in the Wedge salad was super crisp, which We split and had just the right amount each. The Brownie desert was awesome too. This restaurant has been around for 50 yrs and there is a reason.

Simply put, this place hits all the points: great ambiance/decor, excellent service, food looks as good as it tastes. The halibut was cooked to perfection. No joke. Even the coffee was great. You know some restaurants have great food but coffee is meh. This place has great everything.

Amazing experience, food, and it's only a block from the pier. Very friendly and accommodating staff. We dine outdoors since we had our pup with us. I ordered the pasta Pescatore, and my significant other ordered Macadamia Halibut. The food was absolutely delicious. We both cleaned our plate . The Pescatore cause was perfect. Did not have a fish taste. The noodles were thick, which was a fantastic choice for this dish. The chunks of fish, and cherry tomatoes paired amazing. The sourdough bread pairs great with the sauce. The macadamia fish was cooked perfectly. Skin was even tasty. It sits on top of brown rice, and a mango tasting puree of sorts. Everything tasting so delicious when all together.

I had an absolutely pleasant experience here! I was in from out of town and looking for a place still open for dinner. I ended up picking this spot and I was so pleased with my meal and the service! My waiter was helpful and kind. I ordered the Ahi Tuna for my meal. Delicious. Then knowing Mud Pie is my favorite dessert I had to give it a try and it did not disappoint. I would love to go back and may even plan a visit to Seal Beach just to go back here! I’ve already recommended Walt’s Wharf to friends and have just been raving about my time there. I’m a fan!
