The Waveny Tavern by PXK

Elegant, warm and incredibly welcoming from the moment you walk in. The service was attentive and informative without feeling overbearing. Every dish was outstanding—we’ll definitely be back! Must-orders: the shrimp cocktail with horseradish and tomato, tuna ceviche, and the steak (phenomenal). Truffle mashed potatoes and spinach were also absolute standouts. Our server Greg was thee best!!

We came to Waveny Tavern with high hopes for a nice date night and to try a new local spot, but unfortunately the experience was very disappointing from start to finish. We had to wait past our reservation time (understandable for a busy Saturday), and it took a while to connect with our waiter. We ordered a bottle of wine and were brought one from a completely different decade than what we selected, and this was not pointed out to us — we had to notice the discrepancy ourselves. For context, we ordered a 2014 Barolo and were brought a 2022. We ultimately chose a different bottle instead, which was not a great start to the evening. For appetizers, we ordered the “High Ridge Little Gem Caesar Salad,” which contained no gem lettuce and tasted like a basic bagged romaine salad. The “Ahi Tun

Clàm Chowder and Veal Chop, bone in, were DELICIOUS! Service, as always, was excellent. The interior of The Waveny is beautiful and allows for great service flow. It is obvious that the managèrs ànd owners have suceeded on every detail of the operation. Thank you.

Dined here with my parents tonight and everything about our meal was terrific. Steven provided incredible service - he knew the menu inside and out, and his recommendations were spot on. He made my dad's night with friendly conversation and ensured that every detail was perfect. The food was delicious - limited but excellent vegetarian options. We loved the rigatoni and be sure to order the ginger sweet potato puree as it is not to be missed! Wine paired perfectly and the Christmas dessert was terrific as well. Loved the ambiance and we'll certainly return. What a pleasant surprise - we are fortunate to have such a fine place in New Canaan (and with parking to boot!)

We are so spoiled in New Canaan with all of our amazing dining options. Visiting Chef PXK restaurants in NY was like a special occasion experience. Now it’s a weekly, and we love it! Every dish and drink have exceeded expectations, and wine by the glass options are delightful as well. One note is that the dishes come out very fast. If you’re like me and like to enjoy your wine before eating, I’d recommend starting at the bar and then moving to the table. Other than that, the service is very professional while friendly and the waiters are well-versed with the menu. When they recommend something, just say Yes!
