The Waverley East - Ottawa

My father and I went to the restaurant for lunch on a Monday. It was peaceful and the waitress provided excellent service.

I have visited Waverley East twice now, and both times the food was warm and delicious. The service was prompt and the food arrived in a timely manner.

The Waverley East is a new restaurant that opened on August 28, 2015, located next to Sobey's on Trim and Innes.

We were a group of eight on Friday with no reservations. They were able to accommodate us against the wall. Comfortable bench and plenty of room. They have a special on Friday of fish & chips with a beer. Excellent fries, seem to be tossed in spice and come with a nice dip. Fish was fresh and light crispy batter. One person had a beet salad they enjoyed. Several had the ribs, good but nothing special. The flourless chocolate cake was wonderful. Very good service. The waitress was friendly,all orders served correctly and separate bills accommodated. We will return.

This was the second time I've visited Waverly East, and again it was noisy with loud music. We went on a Saturday night during the hockey play-offs so that contributed to the noise level. Food again was so-so. There isn't a lot to choose from on the menu, especially if you are a "meat and potatoes" person. I ordered the beet salad for starters and it was very good; there was a nice dressing on the greens and a nice amount of sliced beets with pecans, raisins and goat cheese. It was a meal in itself. For my main meal I ordered fettuccine with shrimp; paid $6 for the shrimp and they only gave 3, which was a bit chintzy. The fettuccine had a lot of filler in it - baby tomatoes, broccoli bits and kale - weird. Soup of the day was mushroom soup and it passed the taste test. Hubby had trout and found it unremarkable.
