   Beautifully designed restaurant with a super fun vibe. We went on Sunday for brunch and they had a DJ playing music. It was a little loud, but we still enjoyed it. Our server was so bubbly and nice. She gave us a small dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday with us for my friend. The menu had the traditional favorites as well as some creative dishes. Great experience!

   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.
