Neighborhood gem
Good for groups
Good for special occasions

First came the pub, cheap drinks and cheaper food, then came the gastropub, an import from Britain featuring upmarket pub grub in a ale-drinking setting. Now, welcome The Waverley, which further blurs the lines between restaurant, social house and bar. The Waverley is the culmination of where the industry is heading; amazing food, unreal cocktails, cool vibes, laidback staff that know their products and what they are doing, refined tastes at affordable prices and zero smugness and attitude. Just a place to chill, drink, eat and hangout while listening to the dopest music you never heard.

For our love of food, art, music & libations.

Very disappointing. We were there a year ago. Restaurant was quite full, but service was quick and very attentive. Burger specials were very good, and the whole experience was good enough to make us want to return when we came back to Ottawa this August. This time, though the restaurant was largely empty, service was very slow in reaching our table. The burger specials took 3/4 hour to arrive, and were somewhat dry and mass cooked. Our table water was not refreshed, despite the restaurant being near empty. I had to stand up to get attention to deal with the bill. I doubt we will return.

We take your feedback seriously and will use it to improve our service and food quality. We'd love the opportunity to make things right. Please contact us directly so we can address your concerns and hopefully welcome you back for a much better experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

We sat outside on a quiet, shady side street. Ben promptly greeted us with menus and kept up with pleasant and efficient service. Burgers and tacos were yummy and reasonably priced. Well worth another visit.
The Waverley - ElginResponded on September 24, 2024
We're thrilled you enjoyed your visit! It's great to hear that Ben provided excellent service and that you found our burgers and tacos delicious! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Thanks for the kind words, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!

We sat around the corner from Elgin Street so it was both quiet and private. Our server Brad ... Ben! (this became a joke between us) was respectful yet warm and friendly, and great at his job. My friend and I shared a very generous platter of nachos, but also enjoyed earlier cocktails. We were on to another engagement or we would have enjoyed a meal as well. We will definitely return. Recommend to a friend? we did that evening and the next day!

Our service was slow and there were not many people in the restaurant. Our food was cold when it arrived at the table. We did not have time to send it back because it took so long to arrive at the table. We would have been late for our show at NAC. We are very disappointed. We were very excited to have a night out. Won’t be back.

Gorgeous ambience! Music only got a bit too loud around 11, which makes sense. Waitress was absolutely lovely, always popping by quickly to check in. Very fast service. Hope to go again!

Food and service was good. I am a Celiac and was well accommodated with choices. We were there for an early dinner, I think it would be a lively spot later in the evening.
