Central Wharf Co

Came here for drinks as I was walking near the harbor with my boyfriend. The food looked good, but we were just craving a nice craft cocktail. The drinks on the menu looked awesome, but unfortunately did not live up to their expectations.
We both felt that the drinks were weak (not enough alcohol). The bartender did put an extra splash of whiskey in my boyfriend’s drink, but I decided to just have mine as it was.
We only stayed for that round and then left. The reason I am giving this place 3 stars is because the cocktails were only about $ 9 which is cheaper than usual and it is in a great, central location!

This place kind of has it all. Nice seating, great food, good prices, and friendly staff. Our server and host were really kind. The food was ready very quickly even on a busy friday. The atmosphere was so relaxing with their music and lighting choices, I could have stayed all night.
Highly recommend for a date, hang out, meetings, whatever it is you wont be disappointed. No complaints

Came here to watch P. C basketball play North Carolina and it was rockin! The bar staff was awesome and the music was great after. We had pizza and wings and the wings were good. I would come back the next time I’m in the city

This was a decent place. They aren’t really great for children, and in fact they were kind of rude. I needed to change my son and there wasn’t a changing station so I had to change him on the floor. Not ideal.
However the meal was decent. The fries were crispy and delicious. I had a veggie burger which was flavorful but a bit dry. The bun was huge and didn’t deliver.
My girlfriends all brought their kids and they had a variety of dishes: fish & chips, another veggie burger and a real burger. Across the board everything was good but not excellent.
The service was great. Our waitress was so sweet and didnt mind our brood of children midday after an aquarium visit.

Went to a private event at the Wharf with my wife. The restaurant was very clean and the décor was great. Chris, the bartender for the event, was absolutely fantastic. Attentive, friendly, quick with recommendations. As good as it gets!

Friendly staff, great food, awesome whiskey selection. Went upstairs the other night for a work party and had so much fun.

Here on a Friday night. The two girls upstairs were bit aggressive! Felt like our group was being rushed out. Oh well during the time being, I was just chilling anyways! Till I went to the ladies room Walking through the dark dining area. I was with my girl, omg I had never witness a restaurant employee, emerges from the large stall and leaves without washing her hands. Dude that is so freaking gross! Clearly there was sign posted under the mirror by the sink area «all employee must wash hands before returning to work» I did not see her served on the 2^nd level we were on so we laughed& joked about how gross she was. But seriously food handlers should always wash hands even after collecting the menus& bills& ESPECIALLY after the ladies room!
This all matters because not washing hands spreads foodborne illness and infections.

Interesting bar slash restaurant. Some TVs for game time viewing. I didn’t see desserts on the menu, but they had lava cake and cheesecake when I was there. Good selection. Not too bad in pricing. Good food.

Service was EXCELLENT, from (as my check indicated) Sean O. Wings were very good, popcorn shrimp was good/​average, strawberry salad was good, but didn’t have much in terms of «toppings» (strawberries, goat cheese, etc). Substitution was made very agreeably, which I very much appreciate. (No mixed greens, just romaine) Again, service was very attentive & friendly, especially taking up a table with 2 kids during a playoff game. Prices on the kids menu are great… And I don’t even like kids in general. I will definitely come back here, and wish I could give 4.5 stars.

Food was pretty good and service was good. The music from the bar was very annoying and loud. Nothing special and prices are reasonable.

Nice and quite place to get dinner. We went for a very early dinner after, and not much of a crowd here so easy to get a seat and eat. Food was also very good and service was good. If you’re looking for a nice meal then check it out.

Came here for a college football watch party, and I had a great time! I saw that some people were complaining about having only one waitress scheduled, but it didn’t really mess up my night. She was AWESOME, by the way. We were ordering buckets of beer and some people in the bar kept taking them out while we weren’t looking, and she was super great and gave us a couple extra in our next bucket.
We ordered a couple of flatbreads and a salad along with our drinks, which were really good — esp the pulled pork, but I doubt I would stray far from the flatbreads. I would come here again to watch big games, but definitely get here early for a table with a view of the TVs.

I went last night to a private event in the upstairs. The food was fine, and the drinks reasonably priced. This review is because of the inexplicably poor management decisions of Central Wharf. They knew that over 100 people would show up for the event (to watch a college football championship game), but they scheduled a single waitress. They should have also known that there was SantaCon going on in the region, but they scheduled a single waitress.
The waitress was superb, but she was one person weaving through standing room-​only space. She did well, but she was only one person.

First time here since it was Jose Mac’s… Def had no complaints at all… Bartender was amazing, attentive and well informed on both beverages and food menu… We ended up having a few drinks and appetizers at the bar
Food was delicious —
pulled pork flat bread was great
Chicken wings were great
Calamari was ok (could be better)
Overall great experience and I would def come back!

Clean bar near the aquarium. Good selection of draft beers. They also have cider.
$ 1 oysters 3pm –7pm Sunday through Thursday. The oysters were actually a pretty good size. They have TV screens for you to watch sports.
I’ll be back for the oysters.

I was in here for about 30 minutes, but it gets a 5. Why? Not only did the bartender put cinnamon on the rim of my pumpkin beer, but when I asked how he does that, he walked me through the whole process. With a ton of exuberance on top of that!
Place was super cool, fancy on one side, chill on the other.
Next time I am in Boston I will definitely swing through here again.
He put cinnamon on the rim of my glass!

Central Wharf is surrounded by so many bars/​pubs and can be easily obscured by them. However, it has its charm and the décor has their brick 19^th century industrial feel to it.
Showing up here for an event, I went over to the bar to grab a drink first. The rum swizzle here was decent, as it proved to be refreshing for an oppressively hot day. The bartender was friendly and polite.
The food was a mixed bag here. The cheeseburger slider was dry and barely edible. The flatbread pizzas here, however, were quite venerable. I enjoyed the margarita, as there was a good balance of basil and tomato. The pulled pork was tender and had a decent sauce.

We had a large group, and were having drinks by the water and decided to make moves to get some food. Walking in on a Friday night with 10 people, I was surprised but excited to be seated right away. With first impression, I loved the décor, and kept commenting how the «vibe» was just right. It just had a good vibe. It was nautical, authentic… and had a nightlife feel. It had lots of wood, but also the coolest lamps that I have never seen before. And a big «SALTY» sign… which is just awesome. I am not sure what they were getting at, but it made for a fun environment. You felt like you could eat good food, and have a classy drink there. We sat at the most beautiful long wooden table, and had a backroom mostly to ourselves.
The food all looked amazing, and it caused me a lot of anxiety to decide what to order. Pizza? Seafood? Salad? They are known for their seafood, but I wasn’t that hungry for a huge meal. I decided to go for the pizza, with an excuse to come back and try the seafood. The pizza was excellent, and all the other food looked amazing. Our server was funny and fast, and I credit him for putting up with our group. After the meal, we went upstairs to a chic bar, with not the feel of downstairs but it felt like a true bar in the middle of the city… which it is. It had great music, and room for dancing. I was very impressed with the whole spontaneous evening!

I went here with a big group for a company dinner. We started out with some delicious drinks and then moved on to appetizers. My table shared a charcuterie and cheese plate, crab cakes, and popcorn shrimp. The charcuterie plate had a nice variety, as well as some apricot chutney that I really enjoyed. The crab cakes were the hit of the table and were very well-​balanced with a lot of meaty chunks. The popcorn shrimp were well-​fried and tasty.
I had the pasta fra diavolo, which was very filling and tasted great. The seafood was very fresh. There were big chunks of salmon and andouille sausage with a lot of calamari rings generously sprinkled throughout and a few shrimp as well. As for the others at my table, I got the feedback that the chicken and the short ribs were fairly middling and those folks wished they had gotten something else, but the people who got the salmon or the fra diavolo were very pleased with their choices.

Really cool spot. A lot bigger than you would expect! They have a front bar, a bar in the back room, and an upstairs bar. The perfect place to have an event/​or work outing! The design of the restaurant is top notch!
Food is pretty good, I love the calamari bruschetta, it is absolutely delicious. I didn’t know what to expect when I ordered it, but its exactly how it sounds. Thick pieces of toasted bread, with perfectly cooked calamari on top, I definitely, definitely recommend you try this as an app– and its really big so you can share and will prob still have some left over.
The windows right in the front of the dining area open up during the Summer which is awesome because its as good as if you were sitting at an outside patio.
Definitely a fun spot to check out.
But a new host is needed ASAP. she looks miserable… every time I have been in there.
