What Laeticiamiguel doesn't like about The Boil Waverly:
I had a disappointing experience at this restaurant. First of all, we were charged a gratuity without our consent and were told that only cash was accepted, no credit cards. The chicken wings I ordered were undercooked and we ended up not finishing them, yet we were still charged for them. My friend had to return one meal because it tasted bad, but she had to eat the other one because the menu stated no refunds or re... View all feedback. What Maria Vega likes about The Boil Waverly:

My calamari was so overcooked it was like trying to chew a rubber band. My steamed clams were good though.

The reviews for this restaurant are quite mixed. Some customers had issues with being charged gratuity without consent, being limited to cash only, and encountering undercooked or spoiled food. There were also complaints about the abundance of rules and restrictions in place. On the other hand, many diners had positive experiences with the atmosphere, service, and food quality. Some praised the fresh seafood options, delicious appetizers, and attentive service. Overall, it seems like The Boil offers a unique dining experience that may be worth a visit despite some drawbacks.
