    We were there on a Friday evening and the noise level was beyond energetic - it was almost too loud to hear your dining partners. Waitress was great. Food was good

    VERY noisy - thankfully the hostess honored our Open Table request for a table by the open window to the street which cut down on the noise.

    The waitress (Marcia) was very nice, but she was handling so many tables at the same time that sometimes it took a long time to flag her down when we needed something. The menu had a lot of interesting items to choose from. We ordered the Kung Pao cauliflower, but it was simply roasted cauliflower in a very loose sauce which tasted like plain soy sauce. We also had the fried calamari - firecracker - which was excellent. I had the smash burger with no bun, but it was very well done and dry. Overall, I would go back again to try other menu items.

    This is the first time we have been to the wayward kitchen. We brought our family of eight people. We will return.
