Wharf Fresh Seafood Mkt & Etry, Medford

Went there twice the year before and it was quite good. Decided to take some special friends there for lunch after we had told them how amazing it was. The service was terrible to begin with but we figured that since the owner was doing the serving it must have been due to the waitstaff calling in sick. For lunch we all ordered the clam chowder, one of our guests all time favorite dishes, and we had raved about how good it was. It arrived lukewarm without a clam in any of the bowls! I quietly went up to the front and let the owner know that there weren't any clams in the chowder. She said I was lying and marched over to the pot on the stove and stirred it to show me that there were clams in it. I politely asked her to see ours and give us a new serving. She refused. The rest of the food arrived at that point and it was all awful. Never have we been so embarrassed! I would not recommend this place to anyone ever again!

Just a great place for seafood! The fish and chips are the best! You'll enjoy the atmosphere and quaintness along with the good prices. Felt as though the ocean was right out the door.

if the owner actually paid his employees, they might actually give 2 shits about the place!!! figure it out! your reviews are not to good!

It was my Mom's 93rd birthday and a large group of family met at the Wharf to celebrate. Service was incredibly poor -- we asked for melted butter for the steamer clams many times (which should have come with them in the first place) and gave up by dessert time. Coffee and soda refills must not be included because even after asking multiple times, no refills arrived. The food was acceptable, what there was of it. Servings were very small for the very high prices. Next year we'll plan on going somewhere else.

My guy and I just returned from dinner at the Wharf. The restaurant was busy but not packed. The food was delicious and fresh. Try the oyster dinner. You won't be disappointed. Thank heaven we have a new favorite place in Medford again.

Took my mom here for dinner on Friday night, 11/9/2007. The place was packed, but the staff was busy and the tables were being turned in a rapid fashion. The fish was excellent and the beer in tap was cold and refreshing. I think that Medford has a winner here and that the Kenyons (the owners), too.
