Time and again Waypoint delivers such a great experience. Food is always just a delight. Great mix of classic seafood options, but plenty of adventurous plates. Options for shared small plates or large entrees. Raw bar is fantastic, the pizzas are lights out (chopped clam will knock your socks off!), and cocktails are solid. The service is exceptional, staff are incredibly friendly and always willing to offer a recommendation. I would make sure to give yourself time to find parking if you drive. It’s a little hard to find parking on the street. Spot hero usually has options and there are a few lots within a 10 minute walk.

The staff were warm and accommodating. The food was absolutely fresh and fast. We started with the pepperoni pizza which was delicious while it was hot and had a portion of the fries which were different from the norm in a good way. Wine, cocktails were great. Will revisit!!

Amazing seafood! I have been here multiple times and we always order uni bucatini!!!! Pizza and oysters are also really amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back!!!

Cocktails, pizza and pasta. A pretty solid combination on paper, and the execution was decent. Came as a group of four and ordered family style – we split two pizzas (the mushroom was great but the clam one was somewhat bland), and pastas. I did quite like the uni bucatini, but then didn’t think much of the dessert menu either.

Went for brunch on New Year’s Day. They had $1 oyster happy hour. Definitely worth it! On weekdays happy hour is 3-6pm. I think brunch is reasonably priced.

My husband and I came here for late and we really liked it! We had oysters, cocktail shrimps, carbonara, and something with pulled pork (cant remember the name) and they were all delicious!

Points for the great service, quality ingredients, flavor combinations, fresh oysters, and large salads suitable for sharing. We particularly liked the cod and Caesar salad. This is a great spot for celebrations.
