| - Despite absolutely loving the CO in Charleston, the Waverly CO has disappointed me 3x in a row. The service has been consistently terrible and the food orders incorrect.
When seated outside at a patio table, the server was rarely seen. But I thought it would be different inside. No. First, the hostess gave a 45 min wait time. Next the bartender was so overwhelmed (she was the only one on a very busy Saturday night), it took 20 min to get drinks. While waiting and then sipping our drinks, we noticed that one bar table for 4, one patio table for 4, and 3-4 inside tables were all empty. Consistently. So the entire hour we waited, there were multiple empty tables. That means that seating isn't happening efficiently (despite two hostesses who did not appear to be overworked). After waiting for 55 minutes, we checked with the hostess, who let us know - SURPRISE! - our table was being cleaned and almost ready. We told her we were in the bar, and after 5 more minutes, we once again checked back with her. She then pointed to our empty table. It would have been GREAT if she had either told us to come wait at the hostess stand until our table was ready or come to get us in the bar.
Once seated, we realized the server was overwhelmed too because she was overtly unpleasant. We ordered drinks, water and appetizers as soon as she came by. Our waters hadn't arrived 30 min later. When we asked her for waters, she said "you're going to have to give me a few minutes."
Unsurprisingly, at this point, the food arrived incorrect. An order for edamame gyoza was delivered as edamame spring rolls. One drink was wrong. And one noodle dish was super dry but the server didn't come around often enough to ask for a sauce or something to help it.
Terrible experiences. I wanted to love it as I'm enjoying the new Waverly area, but I'm going to pass from now on. There are too many other competing restaurants to continue the disappointment here.
Food review:
-Malaysian chili wings are ok
-Curry laksa is good but the no-chicken order had chicken in it
-edamame spring rolls are incredibly greasy
-fried pork belly bun is greasy but tasty with the house hot sauce
-no amount of hot sauce can fix the dry tasteless tofu banh mi
-Hanoi noodles were dry.
-Bombay chai tea is just a packet of Tazo chai. Ok, but this is what I drink at home for 15 cents a packet
**On a positive note, the fried vegetarian sushi (crispy veg roll) is really good.
