Our brunch at Waverly was outstanding. The host accommodated our request to sit at the prime corner table by the window. and service by our waitress Shea was great. The brunch meals were delicious and perfect for our group of hearty eaters. The vibe at Waverly is always neighborly, lively and welcoming. Love to eat at Waverly.

First time at Waverly KItchen. We enjoyed it with but a few low spots. We arrived on time for our 9 pm reservation and were seated quickly and efficiently. The noise level was very high. To many people in an older space with nothing to mute the sound. Luckily were were a late reservation , so about 30 minutes in the noise dropped dramatically as earlier people left. Can't blame the restaurant. Only so much they can do. Our server, Fernanda, was outstanding. Friendly, smiling and prompt. Just what you like in a space like this. Great employee. Gentleman who assisted here was also very hospitable. Food quite good. Caprese salad excellent. Scallops very tasty and eggplant dish outstanding. Parker House rolls addictive. Chowder very tasty but potatoes undercooked IMO. Decent value.

The food was phenomenal and we had a great time, however it was probably 80 degrees inside the restaurant. We were sweating through the meal, I wish they had A/C for hot days as it was very rough.
