The food and service were excellent. We enjoyed the prix fixe menu. In the future, we would avoid a night when the Celtics were playing at the Garden. It was very noisy and difficult to carry on a conversation.

We enjoyed our evening at Waverly. Just wish we didn’t have to wait over 30 minutes for our reserved table. The food was good and plenty. I like the interior of the restaurant. It was very lively.
