Incredible. Really something spectacular here, worth every single penny. Food, plating, wine, service, and location were all absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to visit again.
Wonderful, quaint, old, old New York. Intimate, great food.
Food is expensive but delicious. The atmosphere is what I loved the most.ots unlike anything I've been to in new York. They also make phenomenal drinks
Yes it's pricey. The service is great, the wine terrific the food just so-so. The steak can be tough but the place is romantic and the crowd is lively. The vibe is overall enjoyable. If you get a chance to try it out, do. In the meantime, let's hope the kitchen improves because this place could be really terrific with the right chef.
Monk fish is ok, but not worth the price. Very cool atmosphere, especially in the winter. The dover sole was ok, but not worth the price. The burger was great and so was the country salad with organic poached egg.

Paparazzi haven. So I finally dined at NYC'S "hardest reservation right now" and it was great...however interesting.
First off, the door was so hidden in the wall that I had to ask to gathered crowd of paparazzi where the door was! Embarrassing...
Once we walked in the maitre d flocked to us asking for our name...I shuttered a bit knowing the notorious nature of "missing reservations" and we were 20 minutes late but we were seated immediately! Yay. However we were seated in the front section with a prime view of the door and all the bar goers--most of whom seemed a bit touristy quite frankly. But back to the food....
Our waiter was very nice--which I didn't expect from other reviews. And shockingly--there was a VEGAN ENTREE** for me, a vegan...yay.
Heres what we got:
sparkling water (Holden brand-very good)
two rose champagnes, 2 pinot noirs with dinner
my husband got:
oysters--very very good, small, but good
tuna tartare--very good, not the best EVER, but top notch
Waverly Inn Cheeseburger--best burger in a while...esp since not even Kobe beef...
chocolate torte...very good
cappacino...yum
Me,,..
Special Porcini mushroom salad--no cheese---YUM YUM YUM!
Vegan Quinoa Risotto with green curry sauce--for qunioa, which I normally dont like--it was AMAZING!
Sorbet...lacking...only had two flavors lemon and pineapple...good, but blah...
All that for only about $200..Not bad!
So my other observations.....the bar was PACKED the whole night, and we were there from 10pm-12
And about 5-6 times the paparazzi outside went flash wild and the lame ppl at the bar all turned around stunned to see who the celebrity was.....ugh
I did expect to see someone famous though...and all i can say is thank god for the sighting of both Micky Rourke and Jared Leto.
So yes I loved this place. The reservation was hard to get---we had a conde naste connection, but once we were in, it was actually a fun fun yummy yummy night!
...the hype will die down though....spotted pig status in the future i predict....
Crazy Scene, Great Experience. Lots of reasons to hate the scene in the bar out front, the indifference to your reservation time etc..but inside, great atmosphere, and excellent, simple food. A good nite - typical of New York "velvet rope culture".
The Waverly Inn is perhaps the West Village's most notorious celebrity hangout since Beatrice's closing, coming complete with a fabled reservation policy and enough buzz to attract honey bees. You'd think such pedigree would create an atmosphere so snooty
Food gets five stars. Drinks look amazing but have zero taste. I was very disappointed with the Paloma and ended up just ordering a shot of tequila to add to it.
I like the banana desert. The summer truffle does not have much taste. I love the beet salad. Apple crumble desert is unacceptable: not fresh and tasteless. Garden smells very pleasant. I enjoy dining in the garden. Service does not feel quite attentive and warm
One of the best meals we have ever had in the city. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. I wish we could have ordered everything on the menu. Which means, we will be back.
The place is really cozy and in a nice neighborhood. We got a place in the terrace which is lovely and it is quite warm despite the cold weather. The service is really good, they were fast to serve our dishes and refilling our water. The wine list has variety, the food is yummy, the menu has different dishes like chicken, fish, meat, pasta and pot pie, besides that they have some special options for the day. We really enjoyed our evening at this place and it is our second time there. It is definitely worth considering.
Scenic little restaurant tucked in the west village. I agree the food is a little overpriced, but it was all delicious and came out promptly. Super friendly service to boot! (Thanks Ethan.)
Photo attached is of their outdoor seating area in front, but there is an inside patio and indoor bar area as well.
The food, atmosphere and service were all impeccable. We started with a turmeric tea and the muffin and scone basket. We split the kale salad and it was perfect. My entree was the Berkshire pork croissant. The aioli on the croissant had a nice dose of truffle and the accompanying chips were crispy and the perfect thickness. My girlfriend had the omelette and it was also quite good. 6 out of five stars
Go for classic American fare, excellent service and a clubby, celeb laden atmosphere. Think the West Village version of the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The food is just fine, but you’re there for the vibe. If possible, try to get seated in the back covered garden by the fire.
Overall, the food is fine but extremely pricey and the quality doesn’t match the exorbitant price. Nonetheless, the Waverly Inn is a known hotspot of many Manhattan celebrities, and I think the ambiance is why. We dined in the covered back garden area, and it is truly beautiful. Our server was also wonderful, attentive while not rushing our group. Among the food/drink, I can recommend: 1) The Waverly Lemonade, 2) the free biscuits, and 3) the triple chocolate mousse dessert!
Boo! 👻We didn’t see any ghosts that haunt the Inn however we did have some great brunch food and excellent service. The dark decor, breathtaking paintings, and crackling fire places transported me back to a different time in New York City’s history, and I felt almost honored to be eating in such a iconic place. Overall I would recommend and hope I can get back real soon. Hope this helps!
This place has been on my list for a while, and I am so happy I finally went. The interior is absolutely stunning and the food was divine. I will be returning!
