Wayfarer Tavern

Wow! What a great addition to the food scene in Cincy and a big win for the growing Dayton, KY Business District!Wayfarer lived up to the hype. It's a cozy and warm space with exposed brick, fun tavern-style lighting and classic pizzeria tablecloths. I've been lucky enough to enjoy this pizza at two pop ups, but it was even better once the tavern opened. All the details were thought of here--cocktails with a nod to Dayton's history, unique ingredients, and that wonderful cheesy crust. We tried the Ouef Mayo, which transported me back to a Paris cafe instantly. I can't wait to work my way through the snack menu. Don't sleep on the pizza though. The Pickle Power is incredible, and I'll have a hard time straying to try others. The service was so attentive, even during the soft open, and my server recommended a great wine to accompany our food. Our kids gave the thumbs up too, which is no small feat coming from my picky 9-year-old. We can't wait to go back!

Went to Wayfarer for Valentine's dinner and had an excellent time! It's so great to see new spots popping up in Dayton. My favorite part of the meal was genuinely the cocktails. They were perfect. The meatballs and pizza were delicious. I like how the pizza is cut into smaller squares. Overall it was very delicious, but it was a bit pricey for pizza. Service was good and the ambiance is an elevated bar. Has a very cozy vibe that I really liked. We will be back!

Service and drinks still amazing . I can be back for the pizza . It wasn't terrible next time I'll ask for more sauce . I love the then crust . I will say the apps made more of a lasting impression. But there is great food to be had in dayton KY!

Made it in tonight for their soft opening and was not disappointed. Super cute spot in Dayton. Bartender Scott was amazing and they were packed! Always got to work out the kinks but the food was amazing!!! Had a little bit of everything: oysters, meatballs, beans, mortadella, and stuffed peppers to start. Highlights were the beans and peppers by far. I would have preferred the oysters to come with everything on the side but still good. Always prefer west coast oysters too. Got a wedge and literally almost licked the plate. Deluxe pepperoni pizza and dill pickle. Both the best! It's donato's style, could have been a bit crisper. Pepperoni won in my onion but the group was a mix. Either way solid place!

If you're into tavern style pizza like I am, this is probably the best pizza in the area now. It's just a perfect bite every time. Really nice bar as well. Really pumped to have this as a pizza option in the Cincy area now, we needed this. Excellent job

Wayfarer Tavern will be a new staple in our favorite restaurant rotation! It was absolutely amazing - easily the best pizza we have ever had and the salad had an astounding flavor!! Could eat this meal daily and be beyond satisfied. The service was great - everyone was extremely attentive and friendly. Will certainly be back soon and highly recommend.

Cheesy, thin and crisp pizza crust! Yum! Not your typical pizza joint- lots of great gourmet selections of food and drinks to choose from.

A bit of a drive(75mins) for us on an absolutely dismal weather day but well worth it! One of my kids is a good friend of one of the folks who works here and just asked if we'd want to come down and give this eatery a try. Made our reservations easily thru their web page and anxiously awaited the day&time. We walk in and immediately get a view of the bar and it's pretty much half the area of this room. A decent number of seats at the bar. A very polite host greets us and leads us up to our table. There were three of us dining tonight and we each ordered an appetizer that we'd wanted to try and a pizza for us all to share. Ordered the peppadew peppers, the tavern salad(feeds 4) and something that I had never heard of and could not wait to try. The wagyu beef carpaccio. Go ahead, look it up and check out what is in this dish. It's just a crazy combination and it's probably one of the best appetizers I've ever had. I don't know who came up with this but kudos to them. It's culinary magic... this and the pickle power pizza has put me a food heaven. Got to check out the kitchen and the pizza oven liked I'd never seen before. No wire racks in the system, they appear to have narrow stone strips that get the bottom of your pizza incredibly crispy but not burnt. It is an impressive piece of kitchen machinery. Then we ordered dessert and I kind of wish we hadn't. Imagine tiny gelatinized coffee cubes and a dulce de leche creme that just a bit out of my comfort zone. The texture and lack of coffee flavor was not there but don't get me wrong, the creme was delicious so we finished it off. Service was decent. Location of the store is a bit off the beaten path, parking wasn't an issue as street parking everywhere. Will we go back? I'd say yes to this because it's cool to support the local eateries. And thanks to my son for suggesting we go. #SupportLocal

Service was so wonderful and everyone was genuinely nice! And it was opening night The wine selection A+, Appetizers unique and scrumptious AND the pizza out of this world We will be back and I've been spreading the word.

Wow! From the first sip of the Ginger Margarita to the last bite of Pickle Pizza so many surprises for my shy palate. A genius must reside in the kitchen. Our appetizers were focaccia and peppers. The bread is made in house drizzled with olive oil and dusted with sea salt. I do love bread and wayfarer nailed it. I could go on about the peppers, Winter salad and the Pickle pizza. The restaurant had a fresh look and the noise level was low. Great for a first or 41st date night.Our service was great! Nate didn't miss a beat and took the time to answer all our questions. I will definitely go back!
