First, the photograph is not sharp. Analysis in Adobe Photoshop using the Camera Shake Filter indicates significant camera movement while shutter open. Settings in CSF allow adding some sharpening anyhow. I did so. I do not go into the detailed CSF adjustment here.

I did what I could with basic tweaks in Adobe Camera Raw and in Adobe Photoshop. The image did not look noisy, so I did some sharpening in ACR and then later in PS using the High Pass Filter (which detects and sharpens only edges).

Others here may have other useful things to bring up.
