4 Reviews of Walt's Wharf Restaurant in Seal Beach ...Write yours here! Walt's Wharf Restaurant By beverley c. We have eaten here many, many times. It is excellent for a special occasion. The service is always excellent and the food is wonderful. We pretty much always get seafood as this is the speciality. The oak grill makes all the difference. They have a great array of wines also.

When I was going to college I worked for Walt's Wharf in Seal Beach. It was sold to another party think it was a bakery in Katella. Then went downhill. It was bought back by the Babcocks several years ago. Its a busy, upbeat, fun place. Yes the wait is extremely long, you have to be patient, however, you can go in the bar and order steamed clams and beer and wait for your table. It's a good place to go on a date and walk the Seal Beach Pier afterwards. Posted 07/16/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

They don't take reservations and forget about going on the weekend because you'll be waiting 2+ hours for a table. Posted 04/30/08 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The service was great and the food and wine. I would recommend it and I will go again. Rob Angel Posted 04/28/08 at 4:38pm Walt's is a blast! I love coming here after work with friends and just hang out and enjoy the wonderful ambience and service that this joint provides. The crowd is always super friendly, the staff are jovial and lovely to be around, and the prices can't be beat. Pros: great crowds, great service Cons: parking Posted 05/01/07 at 5:07pm Okay I've been to a lot of seafood places, this isn't it. It's not bad, but certainly nothing special. Yes - it is not a chain and has a local feel to it. It blends a slow beach city feel with a higher end seafood restaurant very well. The waiters and staff are a little less formal and behave so with those who are obvious regulars. Pros: Has a lot of seafood choices, parking is free Cons: Expensive for the quality Posted 04/30/07 at 10:28pm Some of the very best seafood in LA and OC We periodically drive from LA to Walts because in my opinion, it is among the best seafood places in the LA and OC areas. Well worth the drive. Excellent service-we have actually told the waitpersons and managers that we had a "perfect" meal in theor restaurant. Good, fresh seafood (their salmon with the soyu glaze is my personal favorite). Good oysters, a nice Cesar salad, just a great meal! Too bad that it is a favorite of many, so the wait can be long but with a vibrating pager, you can walk arond and shop in some of the nearby shops. Have a wonderful meal (with a cognac afterwards) and then take a walk to the nearby pier. This place is located in a very, very safe area so nightime strolls are peaceful. Pros: Fresh food, good presentation, wonderful service Cons: long waits, no reservations, limited parking Posted 08/28/05 at 12:00am Steam clams to die for..... I love there seafood dishes, I have been eating here about 10 years and they have a great sellection of wine and seafood enjoy.......... Pros: good food, wine, service Cons: small place, parking Posted 06/16/05 at 12:00am
