Prices were outrageous. Food was not worth 1/2 the price. Service was distant at best. Our waitress visited us twice. We never got water. I really wanted to like this place. It came highly recommended. And usually I will give a restaurant a second chance to make a better impression. But not at these prices. Place must have a rich cult following?

Before to stop for dinner at this restaurant I have used the other people reviews from the Google Map. In our case, we really liked the pleasant and authentic atmosphere of antiquity inside the restaurant. Also, we felt very respectful service from the owner of the restaurant, for which we thank her very much. Food is a separate art. Everything is very homely, simple and incredibly delicious. Moreover, thank you very much for the beautiful classical music that became a soft addition to our dinner.

I was at The Wayside on a Saturday night, a bit of a celebration I suppose, on the strength of a couple very good recommendations. To be brief, The Wayside is nothing short of spectacular! It is by far the best restaurant in the area, and I would suggest that it keeps pace with all but the very very best (and most expensive) in New York or Chicago. If Zagat rated The Wayside, it would be a 27+. It is that good.
The menu would appear to be edited down from what it once was, but it was still great. This is an old school presentation with a strong emphasis on quality. The appetizers were fairly predictable, but very very good, and the Coconut Shrimp were by far the best I've ever had. Amazing. The salads and bread were excellent, and the entrees included a couple fish (including a Sea Bass you never see around here), several outstanding dry aged steaks, a pork osso bucco, and a seafood casserole, in addition to the Mexican specials for the evening.
The cocktails were, predictably, just right. Big, with top shelf liquor. I don't know that they had the boutique liquor that one sees in Chicago or New York, but something has to give out here in the country!
Yes, it is pretty expensive by local standards, but the value is absolutely there. This is very fine dining without the pretentious city nonsense. Honestly, it reminds me of a couple places in the Hamptons (the ritzy waterside end of Long Island). All about quality and a relaxed experience.
My advice is get a reservation, don't hold back, and enjoy The Wayside for what it is. This is a home run!

Pleasant drive thru the countryside...it is an old inn, has been there for years! Food is phenomenal, served piping hot! Parking is along the country road with a small lot. There are several stone steps going down to the dining room. It is not a big area. I would make reservations! Menu on line is way out dated! It is now streamlined. It is pricey...chicken marsala $31.99...cheapest item...prices way up from there...8 oz filet was $49.95. Have eaten here over the years through several owners.

For most, this restaurant is a bit out of the way, however we're 20 minutes away and what a treat it is to experience. Don't hesitate to come and enjoy a pleasant environment, with lovely and delicious food cooked perfectly. Attentive, caring owners are the nicest people. And check out the recently redone bar. They did a beautiful job!!! Thank you Wayside for offering a very special eatery.

Great food, I repeat great food fresh from local suppliers. The restaurant is inside of a old style house so the atmosphere is pretty unique and a must try experience. Our waitress was great and seeing the owner out with the staff working with them was fantastic to see someone passionate about their business, and it shows. 10/10
