Would have been perfect except that we had 815 reservation and waited 45 min for our table.

The noise level was very high. It was difficult to make conversations. The service was slow because the restaurant was packed with people. I noticed the waiters and waitresses were trying their very best to serve us. The branzino fish we ordered was excellent. We hope it can be on the menu permanently. The fried chicken was a bit disappointed, the skin was soggy and too The top over was our favorite !

Don't miss the fried chicken. It's terrific and the deviled eggs are outstanding. The overall menu is solid with no bad choices.
Amita
The food was great but the service quite frankly was sub par. I hate complaining because I know waitresses are juggling so many things but we waited for menus to be brought over, we waited again for the dessert order and finally had a long wait for the bill.

This was my first time at the new Wayfare location. It is lovely!! I was with a group of 6, and we all thought it was even better than the original. We had a fabulous waiter who made our evening a total pleasure. He even proactively offered to turn down the volume of the music when we sat down. (It was very loud, and we were happy that he noticed before we said anything.) The food was delicious, and there was something for everyone. I'm a vegetarian, and was happy that there was a great option on the menu. Lovely wine selection, and great advice on what to choose. We sat a round table, which is conducive to conversation, and made us all very happy as we celebrated a friend's birthday.

Amazing service at Wayfare Tavern- the attention to detail is appreciated. Just had a quick bite at lunch and the fried chicken lives up to the hype- and appreciated the kitchen health care surcharge- more restaurants should do this.
Stephanie
It was fantastic - start to finish! The service and the food made it a perfect evening with my mom.
Lucy
The service was good and professional. However, there was a large group of diners sitting at a long table in the middle of the room, and LOUD after consuming a lot of alcohol. I am very disappointed that I didn't have a proper atmosphere to conduct a pleasant dinner conversation with my friend.

Overpriced fast food at best. Salad wilted and sour. Absolutely nothing special about the fried chicken. Barely crispy. Service was sub par and rushed. Server complained about the traffic in San Francisco. Huh? Made to wait for a table that was empty and set when we arrived? Place was mediocre ten years ago and now , somehow even worse. Save yourself hundreds of dollars and go to a real fried chicken restaurant.

I've been to Wayfare Tavern several times before and have loved each experience until last night. We were seated promptly at our reservation time which was great, however it then took took 10 minutes before anyone talked to us or got us any water. Not the end of the world, but things didn't exactly pick up from there. The table next to us was extremely loud, that's not the restaurant's fault but added to the chaos of the evening. It took more than 20 minutes to get our first drink, and when my wife was given a chance to place her drink order they eventually came back to let her know that they were out of that specific cocktail. Bread showed up around the 30-minute mark, then shortly after our food arrived. From there we went about half an hour without anyone checking in, and no one ever asked how our food was once it arrived. The appetizer selection has always felt a bit underwhelming, but thankfully, the fried chicken was just as good as I remembered. It was crispy and juicy and just overall great. My wife enjoyed her burger and fries. And the macaroni and cheese we ordered to share was great. The food was phenomenal as always which kept this from being a one-star experience.
Great service, while limited menu very tasty house specialties: deviled eggs, popover, fried chicken, and donuts for dessert. Best with a martini or 3.

I love this restaurant for the food, ambience & service. I do like the new location and decor!!

My birthday was a total riot—think food so good it deserved its own fan club, service so slick they could've moonlighted as secret agents, and an atmosphere so vibey it practically had its own theme song!

I've been to Wayfare three times in the last two months and each time I've found their food very heavy on the salt. That's been the case with the fried chicken, the cobb salad and the branzini. Not sure I could have found a way to make cobb salad salty but darn if they didn't find a way!

Solid appetizers, mediocre entrees, overpriced wine list. Main dining room has a better ambiance and temperature than being in the kitchen area. Glad someone else paid. I would not be back on my own dime except to have the apps.
