The Wharf Seafood Restaurant

Good food and service was amazing! Bananas Fosters was to die for. We will be back on our next trip!

I did not get any photos bc I was trying to enjoy the moment and my hands were full with crab legs.

I will say the crab legs were perfect. Not sure why the reviews weren't great. Ours were steamy hot and just bc someone is playing them for you didn't slow anyone down from continuing to get there fill. This is actually smart so there is less waste as people and kids tend to overfill their plate and not eat it.

Please note, if you are dining I , the only option is the Buffett and it is $60 per person. So come hungry and prepared and don't gripe about pricing for an all you can eat buffet and crab legs.

I only got a plate of legs because I was full. Probably didn't eat $60 worth but I was full and got the crab I was searching for all week. So for me, I got my money's worth. You aren't going for the ambiance, even though it's low lit inside. They do have a great outside patio sitting area with string lights and the fountains may have their light show going. It's not a huge buffet which I liked and there were enough options. But went for the crab legs, not the buffet.

Enjoy!

Everything was great! Our server, Jordan, took good care of us; he explained how the buffet worked and we never had to look for him. All of the food was outstanding...totally recommend!

Brought our family of 4 for the all you can eat steak and crab legs. I'm the only crab eater, so I enjoyed my meal. But the others had steak and weren't fans. It's rough to call it filet mignon when it's super stringy/chewy. They were expecting "steakhouse" steak and they said it was comparable to Applebees.

If you're coming for crab legs and seafood, this was totally worth it. If you are coming for steak, maybe opt for the pasta bar or chicken tenders. I was impressed with the non seafood options for those that don't enjoy seafood.

Service was great. Our server checked on us plenty of times through the meal and kept our glasses full. Even the servers at the buffet that pass out the food was super friendly

Environment was good. Very relaxed. Feel like you could come with pool hair and still fit in.

Would love to come back without kids sometime!

Very good food, wonderful fast service experience, no shortages on steak or crab legs (they serve you both, so people don't pile up a plate they never eat and clog up the line). Good ambiance and non-premium options. Worth the $60/per person price. I've never paid less and gotten more except casino buffets, and the only reason they're cheap is the gambling subsidizes the food!

Food was ok, service was good. Personally I think it's overpriced. $59.99 for an adult and if you want to get a soda it's another $3.50. For $59.99 you would think a drink would be included. Other places have better food and prices.

This place was just meh. Nothing fabulous. Just your regular seafood buffet. Not great but not terrible either.

My husband practically begged me to come here since he's been before. I don't care for seafood and seeing the 60 pricetag pp I really didn't care to try it out.

But I did, with low expectations. As soon as our group of 10 walked in I wanted to leave. It's a small space and the buffet area definitely lacks luster. I had to tell myself there were more options on the other side of the kitchen maybe? Maybe the food is just that good?? Ya'll when I say I was disappointed I was soooo disappointed.

Out of the 4 "filet mignons" I ordered none were the temp I requested. Why even ask?? I requested med rare. First was well done, second was rare leaning towards blue, third was well done leaning towards dry, fourth and last because I gave up was actually a decent medium. Steaks were all full of gristle. I literally peeled and had to cut around the gristle for a decent bite. Filet mignon should not look like they are wrapped in bacon when they aren't. Bad and lazy prep.

Gave the "pasta station" a try. Had beef and bacon as my proteins. Pasta was so over cooked which I already expected. No bacon. Beef tasted rancid. I'm pretty certain it is leftover beef that has been sitting under the heat and can no longer be served. Dry and I'm sure if it weren't so dark in the place you'd see the meat is green.

I hate wasting food but I really had to spit out a few bites during this visit. The hot buffet honestly isn't even worth mentioning. The only thing I enjoyed was the salad that consisted of lettuce and ranch. And ya'll I NEVER get salad unless it comes with my meal, and especially not at buffets. But that's how limited the buffet is!

Desert consists of cups of instant pudding and a couple slices of cake on a folding table on the side of the room.. my heart was so so sad. LOL

Our waiter was awesome though! I forgot his name unfortunately but he made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. He recommended places for us to visit while in Panama and just seem genuinely kind.. unlike the lady handing out the steak and crab legs. So, even though I was really not enjoying my meal I wasn't going to make it his problem. You know?

The disappointment was real with this experience. I was kinda upset by the end of the meal I had to leave first back to our condo because I couldn't justify the $800 my husband was going to pay. It's not that I didn't want to pay it's more because it wasn't worth it. And the total is including a nice tip for our waiter!

We went here and while it is pricy, it is absolutely worth it. All you can eat crab and filets for $60, sign me up!

Great waterfront location. Fantastic atmosphere and first class service! Hands down, the most customer focused, attentive, and friendly staff from the manager to the servers. We we were blessed to find this restaurant!
