    Great wait staff. Perceptive. Helpful. Friendly. Noisyish...but you just have to wear that. Food is great. Efficient friendly service. Entrées and mains extensive and cater to a variety of tastes. We always go the oysters with the gin mignonette....and the Hokkaido scallops absolutely superb. Market fish was swordfish with Malabar curry....but last night it was barra. Personal preference was the swordfish. Good well priced wine list and beer selections. Extensive opening hours.

    We've been to Wharf St several times and have found the food very hit and miss. Sometimes it's great and other times very ordinary. This time the food was terrible and the ingredients didn't match what was on the menu. Grape tomatoes from Woolies are not Heirloom tomatoes. The food did not meet our expectations and we don't know if we'll return. The only redeeming thing was the amazing service we received from the server who went above and beyond.

    We had high hopes for Wharf St Distillery. The menu looked exceptional but if you’re going to charge high prices the quality of the food needs to match. And while some of it measured up - scallops, prawns - the rest, particularly the octopus (which was taken off our bill) didn’t. Disappointed.

    Great tucker and wonderful service. It is a noisy venue generally but on the most recent visit it was surprisingly lightly attended. Seating is comfortable and well spaced.

    A groovy vibe. Noisy due to hard surfaces. A perfectly cooked steak and great starters. A bit pricey but ok for two people

    Disappointed We have decided we probably won't return... We have been many times and the food seems to be hit or miss.... Good sometimes so you go back.. Last night was a definite miss..Its was so NOISY ..We thought it was a restaurant, apparently it's a bar first so that's why it's noisy

    Great night out with friends. The noise levels were high, made it hard to have a conversation. Some customers had obviously been there all afternoon and we're enjoying the alcohol. Overall a great night, great food.
