Merwin’s Wharf! Have a delicious meal and then stroll on the bank of the Cuyahoga River, for an all around lovely experience. We decided to order onion rings for an appetizer -- wonderfully crispy on the outside and tender and delicious on the inside. Yum! For the main course, we ordered fish and chips and barbecue tofu sandwich. I had the tofu sandwich: spice-rubbed grilled tofu with sweet barbecue and spicy pickles. The sandwich came with a mound of delicious French fries — I have to admit that French fries are a weakness of mine; I ate the whole pile - they were so darn good! After all those fries, though, I was only able to eat a little of my sandwich, but that was fine; I ate it for dinner, and it was delicious! The fish and chips got great reviews, too; it looked flaky and tender and it didn’t smell fishy, which is a good thing. After the meal, we stood around in the deck and watched the rowers on the river. An altogether enjoyable experience.

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.

Chill place with a good view of the river. Perch sandwich was good. Halloumi and eggplant sandwich was also good. Food took a while to come out but our polite waiter made up for it. Decent drink selection. Good atmosphere. Clean facilities. Fair prices. Kid and pet friendly. Good outdoor seating.
