The Wayward never disappoints. I had the pleasure of dining in with a large group of coworkers for dinner and drinks. Not only were the drinks and food top notch but the service was fantastic. Shout out to Marcia for handling a table of 12 on a Saturday night with ease. Marcia was very attentive and timely to our needs, making sure to provide top service while also getting us out the door by a certain time so we could attend an event. Thanks again Wayward, I can confidently say...read full review

Service was fast and the food is HIGHLY recommended. Portions were big and staff is very friendly. Nice selection on the menu. Can’t wait to go back again.

The mussels were flawless don’t ever take them off the menu. Our meal was delicious and, cooked to perfection, the service and staff were amazing!
