I have been to Merwin's Wharf many times. I have to say mostly because of the location and not the food or service. I love sitting outside watching the boats go by. The food is always decent but nothing to rave about. The service is always friendly but slow.
However, the reason for the 5 star rating is because today I brought my kids and grandkids for the Santa Brunch. We have been to several over the the past few years and this, by far, exceeds them all. My expectations of these events are not very high, but Merwins did it right.
The food was great, cheese blintzes and cheesy grits were delicious. Food was hot and even the scrambled eggs were hot and not rubbery as at most buffets. They knocked it out of the park. I liked the relaxed atmosphere and authentic Santa. Spoiler alert: I think he may have been the real one right from the North Pole.
Add in the balloon toys, face painting and magic show and you have the makings of a magical Santa Brunch.
Great job Merwin's!
