    Food and service was very good. Wishing you success with your new location. A few recommendations: Language barrier with some staff. Recommend adding a child’s menu as portions too large and price too high for children. Parking is a challenge. Tables by the door are too cold. Noise level high in back dining room.

    Wow. Although located where it was, it's not the Waverly Inn anymore! It is so updated and light and bright! The food was spectacular. From the calamari app through the main course of Bolognese and Branzino Fish, it was fresh and a wonderful combination of flavors. Excellent wine selection and a full bar. We will not hesitate to go back there.

    We went to La Piazza before a show tonight and had a fabulous dinner! From the olives and warm bread when we sat down to the amazing squash flowers, lobster parpadelle and crème brûlée, everything was delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant and will be back. Fabulous!
