I have been to this place a handful of times for lunch and have enjoyed it every time. It's a good place for either lunch or dinner if you are in the Seal Beach area and moderately priced. I generally get the swordfish which is always on the catch of the day list. You can't miss with the swordfish or... more

I have been here 4 times (I have business in Seal Beach area) over the last year and the food is incredible. The freshest fish and a new menu everyday based upon what's fresh. Also boasts one of the best wine lists around. Clientele ranges from locals (good sign) to tourists and it always seems to be busy. They don't... more

Another favorite place to dine in So-Cal. When ever you are in Seal Beach, put Walt's Wharf on the list of places to eat. The staff is friendly, menu is tops. Try the oak fired items for a change of pace. Prices are in line, plus a pleasant wine list. more
