And so it begins. Saving the sentimental stuff as we prepare inside demo and repairs. It’s been a month since the fire came through but not too much longer til we get back to serving you. Permanent closure, sold and new ownership, reopening as a Chinese restaurant, etc. …??? 😆😂🤣All false. We WILL be back as Walt’s Wharf and ownership has not changed. See you all soon.

A huge thank you to the Seal Beach community and surrounding areas for your support with this mornings unfortunate incident. Our staff is fine and safe. Business was not operating yet so no patrons inside or affected by the fire. Thank goodness. Cause of fire not yet determined and as expected we will be closed until further notice. To the Seal Beach fire department and all the others that responded so quickly to save our historic building we thank you and are so appreciative of you doing all that could be done to keep our building protected and in the best shape possible.
Thanks to all for your concern. We greatly appreciate it.
