Wall’s Wharf is one of our favorite places during the summer. A family run business, it is  located directly on its own private beach, with two levels of deck dining and some tables, literally, on the beach in Bayville. There are also three indoor dining areas, with a very popular full-height bar and lounge area.  It is a perfect place to enjoy the fabulous view of Long Island Sound, along with a lovely lunch or dinner. If you come with kids, they can play on the beach while you dine. The servers are always pleasant and accommodating. When we go for dinner we try to coincide with sunset.  We are not the only ones with this idea, so there is often a long wait to be seated. But don’t despair, while you wait you can find a seat on one of the Adirondack chairs provided on the wooden deck next to the restaurant.  Note that you must walk on the sand a few steps to get to this deck. You can bring your own chair or hang out in the parking lot to watch sunset while you wait. It is often so crowded that the line just to get to the parking lot goes down the block to Bayville Avenue.  Valet parking is usually the norm. Parking on the street brings a hefty fine, so don’t do it!

If you have to wait you might score a seat on the bench just outside the street-level, single door entrance. A small entryway and another door lead to the welcome area. Note that everyone in your party must be there in order to be seated. If you have mobility limitations and want to seat outside, you can be seated on the upper level, which is easy to get to from the bar area, just a slight incline to the door leading to the upper deck level.  If you want to be seated on the next level, or on the sand, you must be able to do the steps. Just make sure to tell the host/hostess of your needs. Tables and chairs ( outside chairs are plastic, with arms) are well spaced for easy navigation. 

Last week, we were there to meet friends for a joint birthday celebration. One in our party has serious medical restrictions with food.  I am happy to say that Wall’s Wharf was able to meet her needs with no problem at all. It seemed like an easy thing for them to do. We were grateful!  And it turned out to be delicious! All of our entries were great – the salmon, tuna poke bowl, and seafood with linguine were tasty! Our server was very pleasant and accommodating.  He made sure that everything met our needs and wants. We could not have asked for a better dinner and celebration. We can’t wait to return.

Multi-stall restrooms are located in the hallway to the left of the hostess area. There is an accessible stall  (not very wide) and sink. There is no baby-changing station.

As always, we at Destination Accessible, advise you to check a venue’s website, www.wallswharf.com, when planning a visit, to learn more about the venue.
