Another exceptional dinner at Waverly! This place never disappoints. From the moment you walk in,…read morethe restaurant feels warm and welcoming. A special shoutout to our server, Ari, who was incredibly sweet, attentive, and accommodating throughout the evening. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly fast, even with the restaurant buzzing. Every dish was absolutely delicious, but the pudding deserves its own mention--it's the kind of dessert that has you scraping the bowl and licking the spoon because you don't want to waste a single bite. Between the live music, comfortable seating, excellent service, amazing food, and a lively crowd, Waverly has everything you could ask for in a great night out. It's one of those places we keep coming back to, and it never fails to impress. Highly recommended!

They were fantastic. The flavors the crunch everything about them was perfect. Now I have two great pizza, places next-door. It's gonna be a good year. It was everything from the texture to the ingredients to the crunchiness really good pizzas.

The dessert menu needs a little more variation but otherwise, this is a wonderful local upscale dining option that delivers CONSISTENTLY! The staff is great. Amazing views of the lagoon. Prices are elevated but it's worth it. You don't feel like you are in the hotel. They have a lovely large bar separated from the dinner rooms and patio which are a vibe. Great for families and I have taken clients out here many times as well.

3.5 stars Came on a weekday for lunch. I had originally…read moremade a reservation to be seated outside to take advantage of the view of the golf course but it was really hot so I opted to be seated inside which was more comfortable. My seat still looked out and had had a great view so same view just more comfortable. I got the beet and peach salad. It didn't really have a dressing but instead came on a bed of caramelized yogurt which acted as the flavor vehicle. It was also topped with frisse, sesame, za'atar, granola and mint. The peach was a nice surprise as it added a nice sweetness, freshness, and texture, I liked when I got a bite of mint, it brightened up the dish. Very unique and different. I also got the house made pastrami Ruben. It came with gruyere cheese, sauerkraut, kimchee, thousand island dressing on rye. The rye was nicely grilled which made it crispy. The pastrami was also grilled which brought out a more salty profile. The kimchee stood out and was a great pairing with the pastrami, it added some spiciness and that fermented funk that you get with sauerkraut. Over all a great sandwich I just wish there was more pastrami. I had the choice of salad or fries but since I got the beet and peach salad I opted for the fries. The fries were triple cooked and came with a truffle ketchup. The fries were cold and I didn't care for the truffle ketchup, I'd ask for aioli next time. Ember & Rye is located on the 18th hole of the Aviara golf course, There's free parking out front but seems like it could fill up during more busy times, like nights or weekends. You can see the touches of creativity from Richard Blais in the dishes. I did see a 3 course prefix menu for $40 which woulda been cheaper than my 2 choices but I wanted to try the pastrami. That's probably the way to go.

We chose to dine outside, in their covered patio, where we enjoyed glasses of wine and, the following: - Garlic Bread ($7.95) - served with a delicious, chunky marinara sauce (loved it!); - Penne Puttanesca ($22.25) - I enjoyed the texture of the pasta; however, the sauce was overly tangy for my preference; - Penne Prosciutto Funghi ($22.50) - hubby absolutely loved his dish; full of flavors and textures -- comfort-food worthy (I'd initially considered ordering this dish)! Great find, and one we'd look forward to returning to when in this area.

Service was fast and friendly. My fiancé, my two mini-me's and myself ordered our usual sandwiches...chicken club, tuna, italian sandwich, and beef dip. There's a bar and yes, happy hour too! Located in a strip mall, you'll easily find parking nearby. Plenty of seating, inside and out. Can't go wrong with Board and Brew! 5 stars!

Walking in there were no customers dining in but a couple of people on their outside patio at the entrance. The server was really nice and took our orders. We ordered the option C: A plain Manhole sized pancake with eggs & bacon and the Tuna sandwich w/ fries. Food arrived fast and was given salsa as well (which was delicious!). The manhole sized pancake was huge as expected and couldn't fit on the oval plate. The scrambled eggs were hanging off the smaller plate it was on with the bacon. The tuna sandwich was impressive. It was in what looked like slices of Texas Toast bread. The food was good and glad we didn't give up on the parking situation. They are still cash-only and thankfully an ATM inside. They also take Venmo.

Really enjoyed the pan con…read moretamate with Iberico, the bread and olives, and the bunuelos (like light churros - never had anything like it, get it with ice cream). Also had the gambas (shrimp) and my feeling is this dish tastes the same no matter where you get it. It's spicy oil but there's no flavor (garlic, salt), just spicy oil lightly flavored by the shrimp but nothing special, imho, that you couldn't make at home or get anywhere else. Also had the migas y setas (mushroom with egg), it was good but the mushrooms themselves needed salt. The bread crumb bits had salt but it wasn't enough. Mushrooms, eggs and pita toes are three foods that need salt, period. I would definitely eat here again, the food was good, service was good, the vibe and ambiance was good. Great for a date night or just dinner with friends. Not really recommended for people with little kids (although they don't discriminate, it's just not that kind of place).

They were busy on a Monday evening, and they're only open from 5-9 PM daily. The food was fantastic, and so was the setting. It has a cozy yet sophisticated vibe. Think of going to your friend's home who has great taste in décor, with a twist of flair. The warm amber lighting really sets a comfortable tone. For dinner, we ordered the following: Sashimi Mediterráneo: Melt in your mouth delicious. Chicken Paillard: Perfectly lemony and beautifully roasted. The salad was fresh and paired really well with the chicken. I loved the blistered capers. They went great with both the sashimi and the chicken. Dessert: Basque Cake: A soft, multi textured, biscuity French Spanish cake with vanilla pastry cream and sweet cherries. The pastry cream is baked in perfectly. It has an almost creamy cheesecake like texture, and paired with the vanilla ice cream, it was amazing. My girlfriend and I just wished there was a little more ice cream. It would have balanced the dessert even better. I'm definitely coming here again and again! I want to try their Patatas Bravas, Paella & Kabocha Soup, but I also want to get what I've ordered. What a predicament.
