Merwin's Wharf

Merwin's Wharf is an excellent Restaurant located right on the Cuyahoga River. The atmosphere is relaxing and fun. The food is wonderful and the service is great. There is plenty of seating inside and a gorgeous and large outdoor patio. This restaurant is located in a park owned by the Metroparks, so it is meticulously maintained. Bravo!

Super cute place, especially with the winter market! The winter menu was a little limited, but there was pretty much something for everyone and the tater tots were really crunchy. The fish sandwich, giant pretzel, and peanut butter brownie was great as well!

Located along the Cuyahoga River and on the Goodtime III route, Merwin’s Wharf has a nice riverfront location and is next to the Metroparks and the kayak launch area. It has a limited menu selection their Walleye sandwich is pictured and middling food quality but compensates with its spacious outside deck on the river with great views. #pmhthelife

We really want to LOVE Merlin’s Wharf. Love the location, the food is a hit or miss it seems like. Cocktails are fairly good. Prices are good ! Big Pretzel is BIG and yummy. My favorite everywhere Weird to make a reservation for a warm Friday early evening and yet nobody’s there to serve you. The restaurant was pretty empty inside and out the full time we were there. We were greeted by a very nice gentleman and seated but it went downhill from there. Our waitress 35 min. wait to even take a drink order was extremely rude and snapped at us when my husband asked about a particular beer. She definitely realized how she acted . We are huge local restaurant supporters, we completely understand the industries issues but sometimes you can’t hide that you just don’t have it. We will try, yet again in the summer next year. We keep trying.

Very overpriced! I ordered the “s’mores board” picture below for my daughters for $28 which included 4 grahams crackers, broken pretzel pieces and a few pieces of chocolate. The menu is very limited and the igloo was also overpriced compared to other restaurants… like the “Around the Corner Cafe.” When we entered the igloo it was extremely hot, with no help from the staff we had to figure out how to turn the heat off.

Amazing service, terrific food and well rounded drink selection. The scenery and atmosphere are stunning and well worth a visit. I’ve been here for family gatherings, dates and with friends. An excellent choice for any occasion! Slightly disappointed they decided to get rid of the fire pits in place of igloos this year. Can’t blame them

My friends and I had lunch outside at this establishment today. For a Sunday, it was very busy. The food was good, but I really expected a larger variety in their menu. We ate outside and seeing the various boats go by was interesting. My friends and I wanted to try something different and in another part of town, instead of going to our usual restaurants on the Eastside of Cleveland. It was worth a try and at least the weather was good, aside from being very hot with little breeze. Parking: Good to see a few areas in the flats with restaurants having free parking.

We decided to go during the winter and ate in one of the igloos near the river. The food was amazing and it was nice to be able to hangout and talk without feeling like the conversation is competing chatter at other tables. The drinks were fantastic and I would definitely recommend going during the winter season. Can't wait to come back in the summer

Our waiter Yesterday was awesome. The location and scenery right on the water is unbeatable. Very awesome scene going on here with great people and even the dogs are welcomed. Cant beat this place!!! A place to truly kick back, smile and enjoy life w/ loved ones. Blue Moons on the outdoor patio! My GF LOVED this place!! 100% highly recommended! Wish they weren’t temporarily closing.

Atmosphere was incredible, food and drink very good. Service is much needed to be desired. Our waitress made it abundantly clear that she would rather be anywhere but there.
