Owner
Walt's Wharf is an award-winning seafood restaurant located on Seal Beach's picturesque Main Street. Open since 1970, the eatery specializes in fresh seafood prepared over an open oak fire. We make our own fresh pasta and desserts daily and our outstanding wine list features wines from Babcock Vineyards.
We are happy to accommodate larger groups of up to 50 people at lunch for special occasions. For parties of 10 or more, we have a pre-set menu with many wonderful selections.

In Short
Walt's large open kitchen and glass-enclosed wine cellar provide a relaxed and elegant neighborhood setting for local 30-somethings. The menu features both seafood standbys and hard-to-come-by delicacies. Appetizers include deep-fried crab cakes and creamy clam chowder. Oak-grilled dishes like Alaskan king crab legs or swordfish marinated in lemongrass, soy, ginger and garlic are finished with butter. Mud pie tempts with Oreo cookie crust, chocolate chunks, peanut toppings and caramel sauce and cappuccino ice cream.

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.
