Few People Know One Of The Nicest Restaurants In America Is Hiding In Southern California’s Cardiff By The Sea
When most people think of the nicest restaurants, their minds tend to lean toward larger cities and downtown hotspots with renowned eateries echoing their modern, glitzy surroundings. However, there are some smaller, quieter towns that are home to upscale restaurants that rival their big-city counterparts in both ambiance and cuisine. This small town restaurant in Southern California brings the heat when it comes to fine dining.
The Waverly is a modern, stylish restaurant located in the beautiful coastal town of Cardiff by the Sea.
Chic furnishings reminiscent of old Hollywood, original pieces by an Australian artist, and a few modern flourishes somehow give The Waverly both an elegant feel and a relaxed vibe consistent with its beach town surroundings.
In its own words, The Waverly serves up "Progressive American cuisine with a European influence." Several of the main entrees on the menu also feature a suggested wine pairing.
Whether you are here for brunch, lunch, or dinner, you will find a menu full of creative and tasty dishes which change often, even daily, due to seasonal availability of the fresh ingredients used.
In addition to an interesting wine and beer list, as well as a generous offering of non-alcoholic beverages, you can choose from an intriguing selection of signature cocktails, such as Chai Town, Red Moon, and Daily Fix.
Speaking of dessert, The Waverly puts a mouthwatering spin on traditional after-dinner sweets with its "Cheese Course" - a slice of French toast topped with blue cheeses, honeycomb, walnuts, and Quince marmalade.
