it was our first experience - the food was very good, but that’s the only good thing. It opens at 6 pm, we arrived about 5 minutes before and we were very rudely told by a woman to come back at 6 (how leaving the door locked!). I was told later that this person is the owner!
Once in, it took 45 minutes to get our first round of drinks (we were the second party thru the door and folks arriving later were served well before us).
We won’t be going back.

We just hosted a party of 21 at this amazing restaurant and it was truly spectacular! From cocktails to wine pairings to platters and canapes through a specially chosen dinner menu finalizing in a dessert buffet, everything was delicious, beautifully plated and lovingly served, all as close to perfection as we could imagine. Chef Paul was very accommodating in our menu choices and his food was beyond compare. Amy and her waitstaff were gracious and caring and did everything they could to ensure that all guests were well taken care of. If we could give them a 10 star rating, we would.

I love this restaurant! This little unassuming place has the most delicious food, right up there with the finest dining I have experienced! Everything is prepared and presented beautifully. It is so clear Paul, Amy, and their staff love what they do and treat their patrons with warmth and generosity. Thank you for such a lovely evening for my friend’s birthday party!

My friend and I found this gem on accident and we have all the best things to say about it! The menu was diverse and everything we ordered was delicious. The drink menu was crafty cocktail style that we don’t see a lot of around here. The owners and their staff were very professional and super friendly. Great spot for a date or an outing with a group!

Food is nothing short but incredible. Highly recommend the special which was a halibut with mashed potatoes and capers. The apple crisp type dessert was literally the best dessert I've ever had. Great vibe.

Tried to come in on Friday night and they were booked. I mistakenly misread their website and didn’t make a reservation. The hostess was extremely rude and crass. She could have politely suggested to make a reservation next time and instead she was rude. Off to Calico we go. Such a shame because it was super cute but I wouldn’t want her waiting on me.

How did I not know about this place? It was so good and we will be coming back. Everything from the service to the food was amazing! There are so many good options and we can’t wait to come back when the menu changes.
The mung bean crepe with pork confit was spectacular. The flavors were great. The mock tails were just OK, didn’t have a ton of flavor for the price. Vegetarian asparagus pasta was so good (size pictured is a half-plate and that was enough for me to split with my wife). For the main dish, we got the braise short beef rib, and the halibut. I never order fish, because I’m so nervous it will taste fishy but it didn’t at all. The flavor combos with the fish were spot on.
The space was a little bit smaller than expected which is fine, just informing. By the time the 7 o’clock reservations all showed up, the place didn’t get quite noisy.
Waxwing is a hidden gem! Can’t believe I hadn’t been here before. We were immediately greeted when we came in and loved the laid back atmosphere. The room is quaint and cozy and the tables were situated well. The music selection was also great! We tried a little bit of everything, shared each course and were absolutely blown away. The fried oysters were delicious, the asparagus with sticky rice was creative and unique, we followed that up with the pork confit that was incredible! We then tried the vegetarian carbonara but the star of the show were the short ribs and potato puree. That puree should be sold on its own. We loved it. The short ribs were SO tender! We finished our meal by enjoying the key lime panna cotta and chocolate cake!
This place was so great! We’ll definitely be back!

I seldom write a negative review and have written many reviews. Sorry this one warranted a negative one.
We were disapointed. Cramped tables. The wall AC struggled to cool the room. Waitstaff asked us to get our order in quickly. (Thursday 6:00 seating) The cook reprimanded us for trying to block the sun shining in our faces. It was not the leisurely evening we had hoped for with friends.
We had 3 drinks, 3 salads 3 rigatoni, 1 duck order and 2 deserts for the 4 of us. The bill came to $215 plus a $40 tip. Not worth it for a roadside cafe. We will not be back.
