   I thought the oyster happy hour was on weekdays. Friday seems to be the weekend, so our oyster starters were 3 1/2 times what I thought we would pay. They were excellent, however. The two pizzas, however tasted alike: cheese and garlic. The clams were missing in the clam pizza, as were the Brussels sprouts in its pizza. Service was cordial; noise (we were seated next to the kitchen) was deafening. I would recommend Wayfair provisionally.

   Looks like it also has a fun bar to sit and eat some oysters. We had some great cocktails and started with a dozen assorted oysters and all was great. Then my wife and I shared a Caesar salad, luckily the waitress suggested we split since they are quite large. Then we each had the lobster Cacio e Pepe and it was excellent. No room for desert.

   The food was very disappointing. It was quite tasteless and did not live up to our expectations. I will not return or recommend it.

   $1 oysters and cocktails to start after I arrived an hour early and requested a table for 4 rather than 2. Since it was early we were able to be seated right away. The service was excellent and the food delicious. Eating at Waypoint is always a treat.

    Headed to Waypoint for our anniversary, as we have for the last several years. As usual the food was great, but the service and experience weren't. We were shuttled into a strange 3-top wedged against the kitchen. The service was very uneven, the trainee waitress seemed to do better than the person training her. Courses arrived at odd intervals, sometimes back-to-back, sometimes with long gaps and no explanation offered. Compared to last year, it's hard to believe it was even the same place. I'm not eager to return.

    Has been one of my favorite spots in town since it opened, but like many restaurants these days, seems to be a bit short staffed. We were sitting at the bar, and had trouble getting much attention - bartender seemed too busy filling table orders to notice our empty beer glasses for upwards of 20 minutes. Don't cry for me, but friendly knowledgable engaged bartenders used to be a hallmark of a great Waypoint experience. I hope it was a blip and not a long term trend. Food was outstanding as always. Crab and angel hair or the lobster cacio e pepe are both fantastic.

    Umi pasta terrific. Mackerel okay. (Could just be my tastebuds). Ancho salad yummy, though extremely large (two of us couldn't finish it) Had a lovely server. Overall a nice experience.

    Service was inattentive. Two of the five dishes were considerably late in arriving. Price for buttered pasta with sparse lobster was silly given the basic nature of the dish and minimal protein on the plate. The VP I brought to the restaurant was not pleased.

    Unfortunately, our food was nearly inedible. A clam pizza -- decent crust, rubbery clams, bland sauce, all of it completely overwhelmed by salt. The caesar salad was the same, despite the fact that we had our dressing served on the side. The salad itself, even undressed was mouth- burningly salty. It was a very strange experience, -- sharing these two different dishes that were both completely ruined by salt. Was someone playing some weird joke in the kitchen? Or has the chef never tasted his/her own food? I don't know, but it was depressingly awful. That said, our waiter couldn't have been kinder. He clearly felt bad. He brought us a complimentary dessert, which was sweet but frankly it was hard to eat fried donuts after that meal. The prices here are quite high. Something is amiss.

    Muy rico! Nos atendió Sam y el servicio fue increíble. Nos recomendó lo mejor de la carta y su actitud increíble. El sabor es muy bueno. Lo único negativo: porciones pequeñas para costo de los platos. En general una muy buena experiencia, casi perfecta ya que no se adapta a todos los bolsillos.

    First time for brunch here. Always enjoy dinner here. The good: 2 of the three entrees were very good: the carbonara and the croissant plate. Server was very accommodating and pleasant. I forget his name. Selection of beverages was great (as always). The bad: For some reason ownership does not update the menu on their website. It is always a disappointment when you show up expecting things that are no longer on the menu. Pretty inexcusable - only takes about 5 minutes to update. The avocado toast was a total rip-off: $17 for a huge piece of toast with very littles on it. Avoid it or you will be greatly disappointed.

    Enjoyed the delicious food at this restaurant. We were there early enough to get oysters for $1 each—which was a treat. We had the fried brussel sprouts which were fabulous. The roasted veggies were okay— a few too many peppers…the uni bucatini was very rich but delicious. My husband had the corn ravioli—excellent. We also splurged on dessert -strawberry shortcake-yummy! For an anniversary dinner it was a memorable meal but i think the atmosphere would have been nicer with a little less noise…

    Oysters and clamps were outstanding unlike the rest of the food. Crab pasta was cooked below al dente, uni bucatini pasta was underseasoned, and clamps pizza - oversolted and extremely garlicky.

    Most wonderful flavors that made my mouth full of joy! We sat by the kitchen and viewed first hand the meticulous methods at which the meals were prepared. The chef personally inspected every plate before allowing them to be taken away. I ordered the lobster tail that melted like butter it was so fresh while I chastided my husband for getting pasta ( we're from Brooklyn and well - we do pasta and pizza pretty good here)- boy was I wrong! The BLACK PEPPER SPACCATELLI was a symphony of flavors- all of them yummy! Go visit and eat!
