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!
