Total club scene. Only three options for food that are awful. Smashies, tacos and some pizza place. They don't sell drinks at the food stops either. I ordered at Smashies and got chicken egg rolls that were absolutely DISGUSTING. They were clearly frozen, as is everything. When I walked up to the window, there was a guy standing there doing nothing, and no food to be seen on grills or anywhere. Should have been my first clue. All he did was throw food in a deep fryer. The fries and egg roll literally tasted like old grease. I couldn't even finish the three tiny egg rolls. To top it all off, it was $25 freaking for that and fries. Horrible venue.

This is such a fun place! They have different food options, places to just chill, or if you’re looking to let some dance moves out plenty of area to just let loose and have fun!

If I could give zero stars I would. I am writing this review based off of an injustice I experienced. I was in the wharf for about 2 hours last night, having a good time with a couple of friends. It wasn't until around 12:50pm a security guard comes up to our table and only asks me to see my ID. At the time I was the only one without a drink, and an ID was already required to get into the place. This confused me and everyone at our table. He proceeds to pick up a captain morgan shooter from underneath the table and tells me that I am not supposed to bring these in and asks me to leave. I instantly respond telling him that it was not mine and I didn't even know it was there. Before this I had been sitting on the other side of the table the whole night and moved seats. I probably sat there for about 10 min. He could have easily asked the two non-colored females next to me if it was theirs, but no he singles out the one brown person at the table. But that's not all. He then proceeds to lie and claims that someone saw me take the shot the whole table vouched for me and I even told him to check the security cameras for proof, which he could not provide. He says that he had already called the cops and next thing you know I'm walking out with two of them to discuss the issue. I was not allowed back in and for what? Supposedly taking a shooter that was not mine or even knew it existed under my feet. And to think, I spent money on an overpriced drink and this is how they treat their costumers. Based on the other reviews it doesn't look like racial disparity is a first time occurrence here with the security.
