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.

Went for dinner for Dine Out Boston, I thought the value and the amount of food we got for the price per person was amazing. The steak frites were cooked perfectly and delicious, and the chipwich was the size of my face with great quality ice cream inside. Great for date night!

Food and service was very good, been there 4-5 times always sat at bar but sat at a table this time. Only negative was the noise, rather loud and a little cramped. I get that it is a small restaurant so it wouldn’t affect my going back. Well done

We enjoyed the food and drinks. However, it was so loud that my partner and I could barely speak to each other. The music was so loud it felt like we were in a late night bar and the sound of conversations around the room was deafening. Unfortunately, this seriously detracted from our experience.
