    The service or lack there of was mediocre. The server was not attentive, nor did we get to give our full order before he walked away. We also had to flag someone down just to get a refill because the server was nowhere to be found. The good was just ok. It was my first and last time eating here v

    Overall we had a great experience; my husband had the corned beef and I got the veggie burger. He loved his food and mine was just average; the PIMMs isn’t anything like the cocktail that I had grown accustomed to while living in England but over all, the service and ambiance made up for any of the downfalls of our experience. We would definitely eat here again.

    Great place for a lunch with friends. Staff was very accommodating and friendly. They encouraged us to linger over drinks and enjoy talking once lunch was done. Food was great!

    The wharf is back! Kirwains was a great spot to grab a business lunch; staff observed Covid safety protocols and the food and customer service were fantastic.

    My fellow diners had the fish and chips and said it was very good. I tried a few of the fries and they were really good. I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. When it came out it was apparent that the chicken was way overdone. The server was nice about it and said he would get me another order of chicken. The chicken he brought out was just as dry and overdone. It’s as if the chicken was precooked and then heated. It was awful. When he asked about it I told hi. It wasn’t any better. He apologized.

    Food was very good, but fairly expensive for what you get (but the Wharf as a whole is like that). Service was excellent and super friendly. Neat space, seating upstairs too.
