Grand Tavern - Waverly

This is an unusual place. It looks like it used to be quite fancy, but has slowly accepted compromise after compromise. When I arrived large sections of the menu were unavailable. The staff seemed more suited for a dive bar than for serving lobster and prime rib. One of the bar tenders was dressed in skin-tight leggings, and the other was shouting over the bar guests to the booths to see if they wanted more shots or beers at random intervals. There looks to be a lot of history to the building, but it is not well maintained and most of the charm seems to have been covered over. I 'm not sure what the opposite of lipstick on a pig is, but this place is really suffering from it. It 's like painting over a marble building or something. The food was of good quality, and the menu (were it to all be available) was compelling, if not a bit dated. The prices were on the low end for what you would expect from an upscale seafood place, though probably apropos to the current state of things and the relative pricing of the area. With a change in management and a renovation this place could really be something special. As it stands, I think the other restaurants in the area are a better bang for the buck.

Zero stars is what this place deserves But.. This place was so horrible the food was cold and my boyfriends shrimp was boiled with the shell on and lightly sprinkled with old bay and that’s it and the bill was outrageous $80 for the disgusting food they served us. And poor waitress serves it was mediocre. Would not recommend. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $50–100
