★★★★☆ 4.0 Tom Garcia · Jan 2026

Came here with a large party for NYE for a late dinner. The interior is very misleading from the street, the interior is pretty big with a lot of tables and bar seating available. Not a lot of parking out front, but there is a rear entrance you can use that has a much bigger parking lot for your ease. Service was decent, we got forgotten about once right off the bat, but once we got things straightened out staff were helpful, kind, and attentive. Starting off with drinks, I had tried their gingerbread old fashioned and their boozy coquito. The old fashioned was nothing special, but I did enjoy the little gingerbread man it came with. The coquito on the other hand was very tasty, albeit a little bit boozier than I expected, but I don't often mind a heavy pour. Next up for food, starting w

This dish is pure decadence. The Cheese Stuffed Rigatoni is smothered in a rich, velvety Housemade Vodka Sauce. Generous chunks of melted Fresh Mozzarella and savory Grilled Chicken make it exceptionally hearty. The mix of spinach, zucchini, and roasted tomatoes balances the richness. It is a stunning, elevated comfort food. Verdict: Intensely flavorful and highly recommended. PS: its family friendly.

The Wayward kitchen is a total winner, nailing appetizers, drinks, and entrees with creative flavors and perfect execution. The popevers with their are gigantic, airy, and tasty. The Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon Tips was an outstanding starter, however the Kung Pao Cauliflower was the most creative and tasty app I've enjoyed in a long time. My Sesame Crusted Salmon was amazing as well my family's Short Rib Rigatoni, and salad with salmon. Excellent service from entering, bartender, and server.

We had my baby shower here last weekend and it was all around an amazing experience. Tara, who organized everything was wonderful from beginning to end. So accommodating with all the dietary restrictions we had. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful to my family day-of. Everyone was raving about the atmosphere and food. The pricing is extremely reasonable for what you get. The room is a great size, very spacious. I cannot say enough good things. They really are wonderful. 10/10

My first visit and all I could say is wow. The restaurant itself is large and sleek and had a solid crowd when we stopped in for an early lunch on a Friday. Started with a blood orange Marg and a strong bourbon based drink. A thing of popcorn was given to us with the drinks while we looked at the menu. We started with some tuna tacos and “way way shrimp”. The tuna was fresh and paired great with the spicy mayo and Asian slaw in perfectly crispy Minton tacos. The shrimp were large and perfectly fried and served with a delicious pineapple salsa that provided a nice contrast to the heat from the Thai chili sauce. They had French onion soup on special so that was a must order. Rich and loaded with onions this really hit the spot. We then ordered a steak sandwich and a Cuban sandwich.
