I drove by the Wharf this weekend and it looks like they are doing a TON of work to spruce the place up. New siding and some new signag near the entrance. They also installed a huge "W" to the top of the building facing the Rio Grand Bridge which I assume will be lit up at night. They also look like they will be putting in brand new boat slips. Last year the redid the entire inside.
yea.. We discovered the Wharf last summer and loved it there.. Great place..
Just heard that the Wharf will be under new management. The owner had upped the rent quite significantly and the family that ran it apparently is not willing to pay. I hope that they don't "change" the place as it seemed that with last years inside dining renovations they were targeting more of a dinner corwd. The draw of the place is the outside deck and live music. While places like Beach Creek are nice ( and there is defiently a place for those types of restaurants down the shore) I hope the Wharf doesn't try to go into that market.

Wharf and La Pizza are my best places. Specially the finger fries of Wharf are my favorite. I also heard the good reputation of the Bayview but never go there.
La Piazza is a great place for an Italian Meal!! Also try, Piro's Village Restaurant (19th Ave and NEw York Ave).
The Bayview is a nice place as well. The Views of the bay there are incredible. They have a nice happy hour deal as well. Half Price apps and drink specials.
I was down in WW last weekend on a friend's boat and we noticed that Sunset Bay (now known as Coconut Cove) is being completely redone. That was always a cool place to hang out and throw down a couple of beers, although it was expensive.

Rio grande diner is good but its just that.. a diner. These Italian restaurants are in another leagueBoth Piros and La Piezza are excellent too

Little beer selection and expensive, if you plan to dine there I suggest you go someplace else or be prepared to deal with what might be the most clueless ignorant staff you've ever come across and avg(at best) food. The place is making a rep for itself already and for the most part it's not a very good one.

The local residents aren't too happy with this place already too.

NORTH WILDWOOD —
Sleepless neighbors butt heads with noisy bars. It’s a battle that most shore communities go through, said Mayor Bill Henfey.“Most shore communities have a tight interaction with
residential neighborhoods and local bars,” he said. “Our responsibility is to go out there and ensure a good quality of life for residents, business owners and tourists.”
But neighbors of the new Coconut Cove Restaurant, at the corner of Spruce and Maryland avenues, complained about the level of noise, trash and rowdy patrons during a
liquor license hearing at City Hall on Tuesday. According to neighbors, the site was once home to Sunset Bay restaurant, which also served liquor, but has recently changed
ownership and went through extensive renovation. The new bar reopened on Memorial Day weekend and neighbors said the atmosphere of a nightclub is disrupting the community.
“Coconut Cove has turned our neighborhood into a trash can, a urinal,” resident Janis Gahles-Benfield told City Council on Tuesday. She said that she also has difficulty sleeping because of
the noise.
