"The Waverly has everything you want in a neighborhood restaurant and more. Despite being deeper into Charlestown than non-residents typically venture, it attracts both locals and visitors due to its approachable and well-executed menu, charming interior (complete with a fireplace and open kitchen), and popular brunch service. The Parker House rolls with whipped honey butter, Green Goddess salad, hand-cut tagliatelle Bolognese, eggplant Milanese with Calabrian chili-whipped ricotta, and Waverly burger with bacon-onion jam, Vermont cheddar, Grillo’s pickles, and “special sauce” are dinner stand-outs. The brunch menu features fun twists on classics like griddled pastrami hash, eggs benedict with lemon hollandaise, brie, and garlic spinach, and a “Mission-style” breakfast burrito." - Anna Darrow
