Slow service. Good cocktails. Tuna crisps were by far the best appetizer. The tomatoes in the burrata BLT had the texture of being in the fridge too long, which is acceptable at a diner but not at this price point.

Asked for a latte with soy milk. The receipt did not include a charge for soy milk (menu said alternative milks are an extra charge.) The reason it wasn’t included in the receipt was because regular cow milk was used. I’m lactose intolerant.

I got the avocado toast and asked for no onions/tomatoes & if it’s an issue to ask for modifications then state that to your customers? I received my avocado toast WITH onions and tomatoes & they just pretended to “make a new one” even saying it’s brand new when you can clearly see tomato leftover on my avocado. That would’ve been fine had the avocado not been literally black & the toast also inedibly burnt because now it was cold after they were pretending to make a new one. I wouldn’t really recommend did not eat it, the potatoes were fine. Restaurants cute maybe order something else.

Our family had the pleasure of dining at the Wayward Restaurant each morning during our vacation, and a huge part of what made our experience so memorable was our wonderful server, Kristie.
From the very first day, Kristie greeted us with a warm, enthusiastic smile that instantly made us feel welcome. She remembered us each morning and anticipated our immediate craving for lattes — and let me tell you, she makes an amazing latte! Rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted every time.
Beyond her barista skills, Kristie’s lovely personality and attentive service truly stood out. She was always cheerful, engaging, and seemed genuinely happy to take care of us. It's rare to find someone so naturally gifted at hospitality.
The ambiance of the Wayward Restaurant itself was also quite nice — comfortable, stylish, and a perfect spot to start the day. But it was Kristie who elevated the experience and made it something special.

Service was lacking. Like most greedy companies that try to pinch Pennies by not hiring enough people. I Won’t be back. Very frustrating. The woman next to us was ignored. She left.

Walked in at 2 pm with 2 kids, posted as open on google, we were told it would be ok to be seated and that usually they open back up after brunch at 2pm. Waited 15 minutes then another person come out and said no food until 2:30 maybe 2:40

The atmosphere is beautiful, but the large amount of gnats around the kitchen and bar is a gross. I feel bad for staff working back there. It seems to have been going on for a few months and crazy how nothing was done.

If you read the response to the reviews, it would seem that management really cares and is committed to addressing your concerns. I guess the staff never got the memo or just have no respect for management enough to care. I'll save the rest of you from my complaint, but I will finish with this. If you want exceptionally bad service from people with attitudes at an automatic 20% gratuity, then this is your place. I hate the auto gratuity for just this reason, and I am a 20% tipper for good service. I would have left the $5. they deserved for the $1200. we spent because of the service, but when you don't have to earn it, who cares!

I had breakfast there : egg Benedict with salmon. It was really bad : English muffin was not toasted, poached eggs were hard and the amount of hollandaise was minuscule. Latte was good and the waitress was lovely.
The Wayword was incredible! The staff absolutely made our night. The drinks and food were top notch. Chef Seth, Michael, Sherwin, and Gienna were great to “hang out with”. This is a must visit if you come to Philly. Best old fashion I’ve ever had!

I was really disappointed by my recent visit to Wayward. The advertised price was significantly lower than what I ended up being charged—about double the expected amount. When I brought it up with the manager, I didn’t get much help, as they claimed there was no issue. It’s frustrating to deal with pricing discrepancies and poor customer service, and I won’t be returning anytime soon.

I had a disappointing experience at Wayward. I was charged double the price that was advertised, which felt very unfair. When I spoke with the manager about the issue, they dismissed my concern, saying that wasn’t true, which only added to my frustration. It's important for businesses to honor their advertised prices and provide better customer service when issues arise. Unfortunately, this experience leaves me questioning whether I’ll return.

I called the restaurant, was on hold for 15 minutes and they hung up. Very unprofessional.

This is a bar/lounge in the Canopy Hotel in Philadelphia. We were greeted by Ben, one of the bar backs. We had the smashburgers, fries, and chocolate cake. It was delicious and fun to be surrounded by other Eagles fans here for the victory parade.
