** Trey says "This place is amazing! Everything was great and our family had a wonderful time. If you have a boat, the convenience to EVERYWHERE is perfect. You do not have to go far to have nice meals on the water. The Wharf 850 was a nice restaurant with great food, drinks, and service. It was only 5 minutes by boat. "
