The Wayward

We are visiting from New York for a romantic weekend, and The Wayward at the Canopy Hotel did not disappoint. From the moment we stepped in, the place had this luxurious vibe that made us feel like we were in the heart of Manhattan.The cocktails were on point - exactly what you'd expect from a high-end spot. And the food? Absolutely yummy. We started with the French fries, then had the caramelized onion goat cheese flatbread, and finished with the Philly cheesesteak dumplings. Everything was original and delicious.Our server was a blast, making us feel like royalty the whole time. They added that extra bit of fun and charm that made our night special. If you're ever in the area, The Wayward is a must-visit. It's the perfect blend of chic atmosphere, fantastic food, and top-notch service.

Critical review alert. Love the concept and the overall restaurant design. Great f&b offering as built. Think the execution is in need of some refinement. Stopped with a rockstar restaurant colleague. We spent most of our time waiting, critiquing and acknowledging the current state of execution. Give it a try. Outdoor space is very welcoming. Perhaps just a slow Thursday execution.

My family and I came to the wayward for a dinner on an otherwise busy Friday night and this was one of the only places that had reservations for 7 PM. We came in and it was not very packed, so we were a bit nervous about our meals. I ordered one of the specials for the day since the other pasta dish was out of stock. It was a ravioli with short rib inside and pesto. I was a bit disappointed with my dish, the ravioli was undercooked, not even al dente, but the seasonings and taste was pretty all right. My brother ordered the cauliflower and fries, which he mentioned was good. And my sister and mom ordered the salmon dish, which they both enjoyed overall. It did take quite a while for us to receive everyone's dish, and some peoples food came out before others. Additionally, my sister sent back the fried oysters and ordered the salmon instead, and it took quite a long time for them to bring out the food. By the time she received it, we were getting ready to leave. The ambience is quite nice as it is a hotel chic lounge environment, but I would not find myself coming back here again.

I went here with friends to celebrate International Women's Day. And honestly, the only thing this place has going for it is the décor.There were six of us and we spent about $80 each and everyone was disappointed with their meals. The service was lacking as well. Our server never even came back to check on us after we got our food. Her 20% tip was automatically included, so I guess she didn't think it was necessary to bother. My meal came out last and after everyone was almost finished eating because she put in the wrong order. I placed an order for pasta and the runner offered me steak. Overall , the taste of everything was either underseasoned or salty. I'd skip this place.

We came here for happy hour, and we had a pretty good time. It was interesting because we were seated in the "lounge" area which was pretty open and we were instructed to sit wherever we'd like. The inside was very well decorated and there were plenty of comfy couches to sit on as well as standard tables with chairs. As for the food, we tried their white wine and cocktails that were available for happy hour (the cocktails at the time were a Mojito and a French 75). We also got an order of the Truffle Salt Butterfly Chips, which were surprisingly delicious. With the happy hour deal, the cocktails were $8 and the bar menu items were 50% off.Overall, I was pleased with my experience here. The staff were very kind and attentive too!

Decided to eat breakfast at Hotel as we have been fans of the food at other Canopy Hotels and it was raining. Was Surprised with it being Mother's Day there was no special menu for the day. Food was OK I was not a fan of this location. Omelette was all egg with little to no cheese or other goodies that make an omelette spectacular. Side salad was interesting side for breakfast loved the vinaigrette dressing. Convenient breakfast option for guests but do not think I would go back otherwise.

The Wayward is a solid breakfast/brunch spot with an excellent cocktail game. It's located in the Canopy by Hilton Hotel, so it can be a little confusing to find as you either have to go through the hotel or find the labeled entrance on the side of the hotel building. It does have just a tiny bit of a hotel restaurant vibe, but if you're in the right spot, it's actually pretty cute.We really enjoyed having drinks here. There's limited seating at the bar, but they have a variety of types of seating around the bar that may be used to enjoy your drinks --- tables, couches, armchairs, etc. My favorite cocktail was the Girard Spritz, a vodka-sparkling wine drink with strawberry and thyme that is just delightful. I also had the Citron Presse, which is made with local gin, honey, and lemon and was a very pretty drink. My friend also enjoyed the Broken Flowers, which had a unique flavor profile and looked pretty awesome with the straw through a flower blossom. Food-wise, I opted for the Smoked Salmon Sammy, a classic lox on an Everything bagel with all the usual fixings, which was exactly what I wanted it to be. My friend ordered the Short Rib Hash with sweet potato, peppers, onions, and poached eggs and was quite happy with it.Overall, a good option. Would be interested in returning for oysters and one of their many variations on the classic French 75. Definitely worth the stop if you're staying at the hotel!

This restaurant is so aesthetically pleasing, if you like cute spaces, come here. You can dress up up or down down.My friend loved her lobster bolognese. The sandwich was so salty, it was inedible. We had French 75s which were great and our server was nice.

We ate at our hotel out of necessity and boy were we pleasantly surprised. Nomz: Started off with the French onion soup, which was really good; the bread, cheese and broth were balanced and super tasty. Shared the steak frites with cauliflower to make it a bit more healthy. The sauce on the steak frites was delicious, we couldn't get enough of it, the steak was good quality. The portion wasn't huge but it was enough for us. The fries were also very tasty, good balance between soft and crunchy. The cauliflower was very flavorful, loved every bit of it, wish I could make like this at home. Drinks: I had the rose and it was well balanced and not too sweet. Service: There are waiters/waitresses that you just remember, Liam will be one of those. He was fantastic, had great foresight and was super pleasant. Ambiance: Modern yet homey feel. Nope or Dope: Dope, I don't typically recommend eating at your hotel but this was a good dinner!

Dinner on a Friday nightFood - 1 star. But my waitress Olivia was very sweet and attentive. She was the only good part of my dinner. Other staff I met were very friendly as well. So bumped it up to 2 stars. (I put more weight on food). Tuna crudo (my go to appetizer)- bland. Steak Frites - I was expecting so much more for $50 steak frites. But ignoring price, on the spectrum of below average vs average vs above average steak frites, these were slightly below average. The frites part was fine. I prefer an aioli over a mustard sauce, but mustard sauce was good. Cronuts. Haha. Man. These were essentially sugared raw croissants. The whole center was raw dough. I'm a crème brûlée girl but idk wanted to try something different. The ambiance is nice. Warm/cozy lighting. Roomy (tables are not up against each other).
