We had reserved a table on the rooftop and drove for 50 minutes specifically to enjoy the rooftop experience. However, upon our arrival, we were informed that the rooftop was closed. Instead, they offered outdoor seating by the street, which was far from comfortable. The tables, especially those with a fire pit, were clearly not designed with dining in mind. It would have been better if they had called us beforehand to notify us about the rooftop closure, rather than providing these uncomfortable alternatives.

Disappointing evening. While the restaurant itself was attractive, the acoustics were terrible. We frequently misunderstood or did not hear what our waiter said as it was very noisy even though the space was only about a third full. We practically had to shout across the table to be heard.

Great food, drinks, and view on the rooftop bar. I had the meatballs, branzino, and lemon drop, both mock and alcohol infused. The only downfall, not of the restaurant’s doing, was the over the top price for parking in the garage.

I would not go on a Sunday evening. Slow service, it does get annoying to have to ask for bread, oil…. So we just stopped.

We came for the half off pasta night on Wednesday and for the price it’s honestly not bad! We had a res for 4 people and they seated us inside. There is an offer for a 1/2 carafe for $26 as well. It may be even better to try and go Wednesdays from 5-7pm to get both the half off pasta dishes and happy hour drink prices.

Baaad choice with this restaurant. We we’re wondering why all restaurants are busy and this was almost empty. Our server looks like he’s high on something. Slow. He gave us the wrong info about the time between brunch and diner. He said till 4. And was till 3. Instead of taking care customer he was having a good time and chatting with almost sleeping employees behind the bar. Drinks was terrible. Espresso martiny was sooo sweet and strong. And it looks like a shot instead of a drink. Beer was flat and tasted bad. We didn’t get bread like others. Food wasn’t bad, but calamary what we ordered wasn’t crispy. Bu chewi and very siesoning and salty. Dip sause was terrible. Chicken wasn’t that bad, but mine was cold. And for 32$, it should be at least a little warm. Picture below. Other food was ok. Anyway. For the price we paid we didn’t get service quality and food quality. Terrible service. Food is below average. Definitely not recommended. Next time, we would rather wait in line to different restaurants.

Because of the good reviews and the location – we chose this restaurant. Unfortunately, it turned out as a big disappointment. The service was okay. The waiter seemed to be in a bad mood and was not charming at all. The biggest disappointment was the food. The portions are really small (as you can see in the picture/24$) and all three of us agreed: it was tasteless. In my opinion, the only great thing was the Prosecco which was fantastic! All over: I would not recommend the restaurant.

Officina at the Wharf is a nice place to dine if you want to have a relatively higher end dining experience. We were sat at terrace which was very nice as it was close to water. Staff were quite friendly. We went there on Wednesday when they have certain menu items for half price. 3 out of 5 people including myself were quite happy with the food and taste . The size of the dish may seem small at the first glance but after eating I understood that the portion was just right. Drink on the other hand were a bit pricy. Overall great experience.

Our first time there. You were celebrating August birthdays. Most of our food came rather fast. It was hot and fresh tasting. I saw the making the pasta from scratch. I came with a large party that I invited to try out the restaurant and check out the wharf. It was a very busy time. It was doing the hip hop weekend in the city. Lots of people out and about walking around the wharf Trying to find parking took a while so be prepared.. no validation of parking. The location is easy to find. Pricey to park unless you can get one of those free valet parking spaces which are very limited. A great place to take a photo shoot during the night or day!

Glad I tried it but was not BLOWN away. Went with a group of 4 on half off pasta Wednesday. The Gnocchi was the best in my opinion of the half off pastas and we tried all 4. And the Giardino salad was pretty good as well. I really would give this a 3.5 if I could apply half points…. What are you all thinking with the $15 deposit per person too, I get it that you want people to show up and all but no other restaurant does that. I will ding you for that and for food that is good not great!
