I booked a table here for a group function around noon on Aug 26. I was a bit concerned as I'm from out of town and had never been here before. Some reviews said it was very noisy and in some of the photos it looked dark and dingy. I had nothing to worry about though because everything about WVRST is EXCELLENT! Everyone loved the food and the beer and cider selection is top notch. I especially loved the duck fat fries and the salad. The service was great. Our servers did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. It was very clean and the space is big and bright during the day. I wish I was in town for a longer time so we could go here again. Five stars for this place - highly recommended!
