   It was just ok. Our server wasn’t there much and it took quite while for drinks and food to come out. Asked for a side of balsamic vinegar and server said that they were out. Super weird because we had the ricotta that comes with balsamic just before our entrees came. I liked the ricotta appetizer, but I feel like it would’ve been much better with honey drizzled on the top instead of the excess amount of salt that it had. Two small pieces of sourdough isn’t enough for how much ricotta they give you. I had also asked if I could do a salad on the side of my burger instead of fries and our server said she wasn’t sure and that she’d check and let me know. She didn’t come back to let me know, the burger got dropped off with probably 9 pieces of arugula with no dressing. Burger was good, was just disappointed that I wasn’t told a yes or a no on the salad, and if I would’ve known what the salad on the side would be, I would not have ordered it. I don’t think I’d come back. Staff needs to be trained better

   Beautiful restaurant with yummy food! I shared three dishes with my date and we enjoyed all three. The caesar salad, ceviche, and chicken entree. They also had a lovely selection of mocktails that actually tasted good. I will definitely come back!

   Fun brunch ambiance for friends, a little noisy. The portions aren’t huge but the food and drinks are good.

   This restaurant has one of the BEST Vibes in North County:) Situated next to the Coast, it has a sophisticated coastal ambiance and a colorful clientele. The service is off the chart way above excellent and the whole staff bends over backwards to ensure you have a memorable visit. Whether just an evening or a special event, Waverly is the perfect venue. We had the Scallops and the Grilled Barramundi both delicious, super fresh and cooked to perfection. Also, their Whipped Buttermilk Ricotta was off the charts!! Kudo's to the amazing service we had from MAX, and make Waverly your next stop for amazing food and a great time.

   We were greeted by a lovely hostess who gave us our choice of tables at lunchtime. The food was delicious !! My only complaint is that our server wasn’t as attentive as she could be. Multiple times our beverages and water needed to be refilled and she never checked back with us once our food was served. In her defense, she was trying to work a 6 top of women who were celebrating something

    When I showed up they said they did not have her name on the reservation list. They have a DJ on Sundays the musical was ridiculously loud we've been there lots and like the food and like the ambience usually but the music is way too loud most of the time
