    House Salad Cacio E Pepe Fries Pasta Primavera
    E W.

    As I walked in, the decor was eye catching, what put me off a bit was the loudness. Even on a Wednesday at 8 pm I could barely hear myself with all the conversations going on at the same time. You kind of get used to it but it was jarring from the quiet Charlestown neighborhood outside. Food was phenomenal, plating was aesthetically pleasing and service was attentive. As shown in the photos I got the Girl Dinner, I do wish the portion size of the pasta was a smidge bigger. But, what made up for the space in my stomach were the Parker House Rolls (get them!!!!) which had the best butter I have ever on the side.

    Pappardelle Con Burrata
    Pamela M.

    My friends and I had been trying to get into Waverly for a while and we were finally able to secure one for a 7pm dinner. I started with the Guava Lava because I was promised to receive real guava energy. It was good BUT if I had received this drink without knowing what it contained, I wouldn't have screamed GUAVA. Still cutesy for the picture. They do have a spicy version, but I chose peace because no. For my entrée, I ordered the Pappardelle con Burrata and that? was 9/10. The flavor was there, very satisfying. The pasta was a little more chewy than I'm used to, not in a bad way but noticeable. I did pick at a few other plates around the table haha. One of my friends ordered the Sweet potato croquettes, those were dangerously good with that aioli, and let me just say I'm not wild about sweet potatoes but those were good. I also tried Whipped feta. Super creamy and good along with the pita. Our server was good and attentive. The place wasn't loud so we were all able to talk to each other and hear each other speak. The only downfall was the parking situation. You will circle, question your decisions over and over again. We found parking at an adjacent street which required that we climbed up the hill which I guess worked out to burn off some of the calories before and after the meal.

    Yummy brunch and such nice people. Everyone was so nice and the food was great. i am very picky about my huevos rancheros but this one was actually one of the best i ever had. The eggs Benedict was also excellent.

    Delicious place to eat at! All the food was 10/10. Definitely recommend the banana bread

    Flew in town early and was starving! We decided to go to Waverly since the reviews were great, but I should have known going on a Saturday morning would be crazy! They were pretty much reserved when it came to seating but we didn't mind sitting at bar. The hostess was really nice and well prepared for the crowds. Food came out in a good amount of time and the small restaurant really seemed to flow and work well. We kept it simple when it came to the food. Pancakes were delicious, the house bacon was so thick my husband loved it and devoured it even tho it wasn't his! I had one of their seasonal pumpkin flavored iced coffees it was ok wouldn't get it again. The french toast was good original flavors but it was definitely on the super sweet side not sure if I would get that again either.

    Voted as one of the top places for Brunch in Boston according to some influencer on IG. I ABSOLUTELY love the interiors here. My Eggs Benedict eggs weren't poached/runny... again I only mention because if you like yours runny you will need to make a point to ask. Next up my friend ordered fresh fruit with yogurt... the bowl came with a 'bed' of yogurt and delicious tasting fruit on top, the issue is the yogurt cost $5.00 as a side... you definitely should get more than a smear LOL BTW everyone agreed that they enjoyed their meal once we got things straightened out. Other friend ordered scrambled eggs with steak and they were kind enough to accommodate this request however, we received egg whites not scrambled eggs with yolk included Whew! I was embarrassed as I usually do my research before selecting a location and this one kept falling short. The management came over and addressed everything and even gave us some of their outstanding banana bread... which I highly recommend. Street parking is available with a time limit so you need to be mindful of this. Respectfully Reviewed.

    Breakfast martini and bloody Mary
    Lydia L.

    We came for brunch and had a really nice time! Our server (Fernanda, I believe) was lovely. The drinks were good, but the bloody Mary was a little watery, and the breakfast martini had some residue from the jam that wasn't great for the last sip. For food, we LOVED the burger. The pork belly and grits were really good, sweet and spicy--eggs could have been a little runnier. The cacio e pepe fries were good, but $10 for a side of fries is kinda insane. Overall, really great, with just a couple of things that could improve. We want to come back for dinner!

    Have been to this spot with friends twice now and every time it has been pleasant! The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The food and drinks were also really good especially the mussels. The ambiance inside is also a really good and relaxed vibe if you're catching up with friends. The bread/rolls were also a hit and everyone I went with really enjoyed them. Definitely would come back.

    Banana Sundae
    Abbie B.

    This place was so nice & cozy. I love the unique deals they do for certain weekdays. I went on a Monday, for their date night deal. We got the parker house rolls to start, these were probably my favorite part of the meal. The whipped honey butter and warm rolls was such an amazing combo. Sweet potato croquettes as our app, which I actually enjoyed despite not really liking sweet potatoes. Steak frites for the entree which were decent. Service was good, it can be a little snug in there though, but it contributes to the coziness vibe! I would definitely return again to try brunch

    Swordfish
    Katherine R.

    I've been waiting to try Waverly for a few years now and finally had the chance. It did not disappoint! It's a cozy spot to grab drinks and dinner, and the food was great. We tried a speciality martini to start and it was so delicious. Our waitress was also lovely and she had great recommendations - We started with the French onion soup dumplings, which were so unique and interesting. We also couldn't resist the bread and that was well worth it- it was so good! For dinner my husband tried the swordfish and that was definitely the winner of the night. I tried the buratta pasta and thought it was very good. My only complaint was that I sometimes found myself feeling a bit crammed at my table based on who was sitting next to us (and how loud they were). But overall we enjoyed ourselves and had a great meal. We will be back!

    I had an excellent brunch here! The exterior is so cute with its seasonal decor- I loved the fall theme. I got the eggs benedict with avacado and absolutely loved it. I wanted to get a flavored tea and I was very pleasantly surprised that they had multiple choices for fun fall flavor syrups to add. Food drink and ambiance were all so excellent- no complaints!

    Eggs Benedict. On gluten free bread.
    Taryn L.

    Came here for a birthday brunch. We came on a Monday and it was quiet but very enjoyable. I am gluten free and was able to enjoy the eggs Benedict on gluten free bread. We also had the yellowfin tuna ceviche which was delicious and also gluten free. My friends got the griddled banana bread and the sweet potato croquettes. They LOVED both! I also enjoyed a blood orange Bellini. The service was friendly and attentive. The restaurant is adorable on the inside and out.

    I had some time to kill on a trip for work, and wanted to have breakfast before I had to meet a student so I decided to stop in, I was lucky and was able to be seated right away and my server was great! Very attentive but not over bearing. Loved the food, I had delicious fresh oysters, eggs Benedict, and enjoyed some cocktails! It was a perfect start to the day, check them out if you are in the area!

It was hard to choose one, but I got the A Perfect Circle and it was quite tasty. I'm eager to try some of their other drinks, since the cocktails were definitely the highlight of the experience for me. The dim sum portions were larger than I expected, which meant we ordered way too much food. We had the fried chicken, the cucumber salad, the shrimp, the pork wontons, the soy sauce noodles, the daikon/enoki dish (I forget the name) and the charred broccoli. There wasn't anything I didn't like, but I did find that the flavor profile seemed very similar for many of the items--it seemed like most things were topped with a generous portion of chili oil, scallions, and sesame seeds. I found that this contributed to a fairly uniform flavor experience and was getting a little weary of chili oil after several dishes. The food was also spicier than I anticipated (though to be fair, I have a low spice tolerance, so others might disagree.) I would have enjoyed some less spicy options to balance out our meal. Overall, all the food was good, though, but I think if I come back I'd get fewer items (3-4 would have been plenty for 2 people) and that might also help with everything blurring together. The service was great and our waitstaff was helpful and attentive.

Not a fan of the layout of the restaurant.

A huge bouquet of fresh lilies were taking up a lot of space on the table when I went and they got in the way at times.

We ordered quickly after perusing the (rather short) menu, most of which was either small plates and cocktails . Our first plate was the hainan chicken arancini. I really liked the contrast in textures between the crispy exterior and the tender chicken and rice mix on the inside. Overall flavour was not bad, too, but I'm not sure that it was exactly good enough to merit the price point of $18. Next was the Xi'an street noodles, which was probably my favourite dish of the meal. The noodles were very well cooked - chewy but not too soft - and I loved the sauce, with the gentle peanut aroma on top of the various spices they used. One comment was that the chilli crisp, which was tasty, was very lacking (in amount) and as a consequence the dish was really not spicy at all. Finally we had the chilli crisp buffalo chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the chicken was boneless (I was expecting something more like chicken wings), which made for very clean eating :) The buffalo sauce was nice (and perhaps a bit spicier than the aforementioned chilli crisp) and the chicken itself was very rich and juicy. Portion size was quite large too and overall I was very happy with this plate. For drinks we ordered the Jaded, which was a fun matcha-themed cocktail (even the marshmallow was matcha-flavoured) and a (spirit-free) cranberry limeade, which was surprisingly refreshing and sweet. Overall a yummy meal, but definitely very expensive. I would be interested to try some more of their cocktails, which seem very creative, but I'm not sure if I would be keen to come again primarily for the food. (To be fair, though, this is often the modus operandi of these restaurants that specialise in small plates and drinks )

I ordered the Elly the Elephant and my friend got the Laughing Gull, and we both really enjoyed our drinks. One thing I thought was really nice is that they allow you to grab food from the surrounding restaurants and bring it in to eat there. We didn't end up doing that, but we did get the charcuterie board they had. It came with cheeses, crackers, and some fruit, and you can add meats for $10, which we opted out for.
