Frank RimalovskiMay 17, 2017Lived and worked in and around the Village since the 80s and never been before tonight which is my loss. Beautiful, delicious and great service! Inside or out back a great NY experience.
Nate SOctober 4, 2019Love the atmosphere—has a very winter vibe; fireplace and dark wood. Can imagine coming back on a cold January night. Chicken pot pie was ok, but drink menu totally missed the mark.- Douglas EllimanJune 30, 2014A high-end restaurant offering a unique take on American home cooking. We love how the fireplace adds a cozy and comfortable feel. Go with friends, and be sure to order the Chicken Pot Pie!
Renaud #July 22, 2018Excellent service at this old-school restaurant in the Village. We went there for brunch and enjoyed the raisin-pistachio scones, asparagus & goat-cheese omelette 👌🏻
Bitches Who BrunchApril 14, 2016The Waverly Inn's Eggs Benny, with ham confit, a buttermilk biscuit, and crispy fingerling potatoes on the side, ended up being our favorite dish from our brunch. Read more
- Bitches Who BrunchOctober 15, 2015The Bitches say: B-. The special atmosphere really carried the brunch experience for us from the moment we stepped inside, but the brunch itself could have had a bit more pizazz. Read more
The Food SlutsJune 25, 2012Great space, with red leather banquettes & wooden floors but beware the distracting cool-factor. Try the tuna tartare ($16) or splurge on the classic Dover sole with hollandaise & string beans ($46). Read more
Lisa🌻November 14, 2013Ask for the room in the back. Quaint atmosphere. The waitstaff were nice, attentive. Most of their dishes are reasonably priced (for NYC). I had the $125 macaroni & cheese w/white truffles.😱Good wine
ブルーノDecember 9, 2016Stopped here for brunch. The Waverly is beautiful, absolutely loved the ambiance of both interiors and the garden in the back. On the other side, food is just ok and the service is kinda disappointing
Biscuits, I could eat tens of them.. Chicken pot pie & fries is a must! Ask for a table near fire place and oh they're not allow you to instagram your meal, YES..!! 😝
Nick MountfordFebruary 24Warm mellow atmosphere, fast service, playlist with decent bass lines. Duck was delicious & so was the wine. Thanks for the recos from the bar. ❤️
Surface MagazineFebruary 17, 2016The menu is low-key, but just received an infusion of new life from Jeffrey Teller, who joined the restaurant this summer from the M. Wells Steakhouse in Queens. Read more
This place is home. The food is great (get a booth), the decor is perfect (that mural!) and the bar makes a tight martini (kalamata vs green). Classic WV.
James John (Jay) Cudney IVJune 3, 2019Frequent celebrity stops. Great murals. Fun menu. Delicious drinks.
Madeline McDavidApril 18, 2016Wonderful brunch with great bellinis. Ask to be seated in the back garden when there's good weather. The greenery is delightful and the food delicious.
Isa SierraSeptember 18, 2018Delicious traditional American restaurant. The fish dishes are a great option. AmaZing cellar.
Sophie BakalarJanuary 3, 2015The garden is amazing and they have fireplaces going when it's cold. The food is average for the price range, but I'd still recommend it if you like ambience.
Paul GaugerNovember 14, 2020Always a favourite. First time for brunch and the outside dining was perfectly safe.
Marc AafjesMarch 2, 2015If you're here for a one time visit, you HAVE to get the mac&cheese -- it is truly one of a kind
The Corcoran GroupOctober 3, 2011Phenomenal ambiance and food – you might be enjoying dinner next to a celeb or a fashion editor. We recommend the Braised Rabbit or the Roasted Amish Chicken.
Krista RuheJanuary 31, 2014Beautiful spot. Surprisingly reasonably priced food but the wine list has some sticker shock. Celeb sightings galore. I sat next to Keith Richards and Fran Lebowitz.
Meghan DeMariaOctober 24, 2020The key lime creme brûlée was to die for! And you can’t beat the ambiance.
DanwenNovember 26, 2014Good was great! Have to go back for the $100 truffle Mac and cheese. Super cute inside... Cozy up next to their fireplaces!- Valentin GuerinJuly 16, 2017Nice and cozy place, ask for the table in the (covered) garden. In the winter you can enjoy the fireplace.
Mark BMarch 3, 2017Filet. Chicken. Mussels orzo special. Decor. Hirschfeld drawings on the WC doors.
Marc SJanuary 8, 2023Great atmosphere. Like a country pub in the middle of the city. Great back garden, weather permitting.
Mark FallowsOctober 14, 2016The Sommelier, Molly is wonderful. Very knowledgable and has a great manner with guests. Top recommendation.
Ana Maria VillarNovember 4, 2014The place and the service are really good! I loved the octopus (and the drinks)!
SiovonneAugust 26, 2014Brunch in the outdoor garden, perfection. Great space, and amazing decor. Great for groups, or a even a date spot.- Sam PezzulloJuly 24, 2013One of my favorite things about this place is how quiet it is. You'd never guess you were in NYC. Feels like Europe, and the people watching is great.
Clay FoxJuly 19, 2014As suggested, the truffle mac and cheese is amazing. But so is the burger, the crab cakes, and the tagliatelle.
Kira GlasteinMarch 25, 2012The place has excellent atmosphere and feels like old NY. Pricey but certain dishes are worth it. Tina Tartare was delish. Truffle Mac and Cheese huge splurge.
RTWgirl ArnetteNovember 12, 2014Didn't find the food to be amazing. Appetizers were the best part but the space is great. Love the cozy vibe. No photos allowed
Nate FeltonJanuary 8, 2016Romance factor is through the roof. Chat with your date by the fireplace and you're sure to end the night with a kiss.
Mike NickersonOctober 6, 2016Biscuits and butter, chicken pot pie, this is high-end home-cooking done right. A NYC staple.
Enrique RamirezAugust 9, 2013Certainly the place to be seen except a 6:30 dinner otherwise its you, or in my case, me, and the waiters seeing each other. Prime time better!
Matthew FergusonMarch 5, 2017WOW! Get the chicken pot pie. It's incredible. I absolutely loved the atmosphere. Beautiful.
Rishad TobaccowalaJune 17, 2012Excellent place for a brunch. The herb omelette with some scones will leave you fulfilled.
Spoon UniversityOctober 20, 2016Room 16 is the smoking room which is supposedly the favorite room of Waverly’s ghost. Servers claim that the room is haunted by a man in a top hat and waistcoat. Read more
GourmetLiveApril 21, 2011Graydon Carter, editor of Vanity Fair, officially opened this exclusive spot. Instead, Carter told friends who told other friends. Try to snag a walk-in table once the “house family” has cleared out.
Andrew FlickerSeptember 20, 2014Chicken Pot Pie is awesome ! Grilled/roasted squid starter small but tasty. Well crafted drinks
IWalked Audio ToursSeptember 11, 2011Celebrity hang out. Claims to not have phone# (or at least publish one). Dining room has mural painted by New Yorker artist Edward Sorel. Ghost of Room 16 likes to rearrange room. More info in blog. Read more- jared zlotnickDecember 14, 2011Oysters to start, followed by tuna tartare, then... the steak / salmon/ short ribs. You can't go wrong!
Daniela StefovskaMay 29, 2012love this place...perfect for brunch or a romantic dinner. try the white bellini for brunch!
Fredo CerasoMarch 10, 2010@WaverlyInn - forget reservations and grab a seat at the bar. Order John DeLucie's Berkshire pork chop with a Michter's Rye Manhattan, you will stay for dessert...The Bananas Foster!
Brian McGNovember 18, 2014Have a drink at the front bar & fireplace, or have dinner by the fireplace in the back garden
