Merwin's Wharf: Cleveland Restaurant Guide

We did the igloos on the water and they were so nice. Very heated. We even had to open the “windows” lol. The table is super low and makes it a little uncomfortable for eating but still worth it. The burger was great and so was the fish. I’m sure it’s beautiful at night with all the lights! Service was wonderful too.

The igloos are really nice and totally worth it for the privacy and warmth they bring you and your party. The service initially was excellent and the maitre d was accommodating of our stroller by adjusting and removing chairs from the inside of the igloo. The location is great for a relaxing evening out with family/friends and the food was surprisingly good (especially the beef short rib entree and the fish n chips)! The smores board was disappointing. The rest of the service left something to be desired - we were served the short rib sandwich instead of the entree, but they were quick to take that back and bring us the entree. We did detect some passive aggressiveness from the server as if we should have been more clear when we ordered, but no harm done, no foul. At the end though, when the check came, we were charged the 25$ igloo rental fee which I had already paid on booking. I did catch it and inform the server as such. We were then told that while the fee will be removed, we should inform them when we arrive for the dinner that we already paid the igloo rental fee otherwise they wouldn’t know. This rubbed us the wrong way as we would’ve paid an extra 25$ had we not been looking at the itemized bill and were made to feel as if it was our fault. Apart from that, the experience was good and I do recommend the restaurant esp the igloos.

We came here for the first time and I’m so glad we did. Such a relaxing atmosphere, so peaceful. The food was amazingly delicious! My fiancé and I ate the Walleye fillet. It was perfect. Also the calamari was absolutely perfect!! The customer service was excellent. We’ll definitely be returning here. We left very happy and satisfied! We highly recommend this place.

Casual riverside American to seafood joint. After eating we watched the crew teams practice on the river. Fried pickles appetizer was great. My wife loved the fish tacos; the fish was crispy. The walleye fish and chips was cooked well, very crispy on the outside, overall walleye has a more fishy taste than your classic fish fry.

Loved it. In town for the day to go to the zoo and I wanted crab cakes. Was not let down. Then on top of good crab. Makes, amazing onion rings!! Friendly waitress. Watching the boats pass was relaxing. Very calm and peaceful! I will definitely be back!
