The Sequoia

Awesome new cocktail bar with food on the 4th floor of the Wayfare Tavern building. Very swanky. Complimentary bar snacks of chips and nuts and great cocktails. Leopard print carpets! Not sure of the hours or if you can do walk in but I found a reservation through Resy.

What's up the negative reviews written by people who didn't even experience The Sequoia?? WELL - We just had our wedding reception at The Sequoia (the 4th floor of the Wayfare Tavern restaurant) and it was INCREDIBLE! From day one the Sales and Events Director, Andrea, was open to supporting us by answering all of our questions in regards to our special day. We were able to tour The Sequoia before booking - we know immediately that it was the perfect venue for us - it's timeless and filled with so much character. After booking, I had various questions here and there and Andrea continued to offer her guidance - she kept the line of communication open up until the event itself. The actual day of the reception was more than we could have hoped for. We had a morning wedding so we decided to do a lunch reception immediately after. We had a small party of 45 so the venue was the perfect size. The staff was so kind and accommodating - they made sure my husband and I were well taken care of (drinks in hand, food on our plates, & extra napkins on our laps to keep our clothes clean - the sweetest!). The food was AMAZING! It was our first time having food at Wayfare Tavern and it didn't disappoint. We took advantage of having a bartender in the room (there's a full bar available on that floor) and we had special, customary toasts. Our guests had a lovely time. The entire afternoon was perfect. We give our thanks to the event and service staff at The Sequoia and Wayfare Tavern for taking such wonderful care of us on our special day. (Pictures to come!)

Fancy new cocktail spot that I stumbled across in the Fidi. Took coworkers there for a fun happy hour. Drinks and food were fun but the bill added up fast. Didn't know it was affiliated with Wayfare Tavern. Now it all makes sense! The servers were excellent in the beginning but as the night progressed, they became less attentive. Love that they give you free chips and nuts when you sit down at the table though. Extra brownie points for that!

Great spot to stop by for dinner or drinks after dinner. We sat at the bar and our bartender, Adam, was great. The type of place that has amazing food, drinks, and makes you feel like regulars. Smaller menu than Wayfare Tavern, but the fried chicken and prime beef tartare are all you need!

Shockingly lame and rude doorman. Kindly popped my head in to ask what their hours were, and gel haired guy responds "the best way to tell if we are open is to read the "closed/open" sign on the door." What a genius! I'm glad Tyler Florence is hiring such smart and service oriented people for his front of house staff. I can't wait to never go back to this place!!!
