Lake Erie perch lightly breaded and fried....fish tasted awful and breading had absolutely no flavor to it whatsoever. 3 pieces, one literally cut in half. Rice served was plated like it came out of a cup....dry and crunchy like it had been made a whole ago and microwaved. Flavor also not good.

I went to Waldo's as a late Valentines celebration. The entire night was fantastic, the waiter was great. They were kind, efficient and funny. The food was fantastic, I had the pasta and my partner had the steak. To drink I had a strawberry daiquiri and that was lovely. For dessert I had the crème brulee, and it was the best I have had in a long time. Everything was exactly how you want your experience to be. It was a little pricey but everything was well worth the cost. I recommend making a reservation as they were fairly busy on the Saturday evening.

We come here for date night from time to time and the last time we went I got the duck and it was soo over cooked my mashed potatoes were horrible and my bfs food wasn’t even what the description was. When you’re paying for high quality food and it’s expensive it should be worth

So sad to have such a mixed review. We came in on the 24th, for a lovely dinner. We even had dietary restrictions that were handled brilliantly. Had great service, and enjoyed it all. That was until a roach crawled across the wall immediately behind us. We killed it, brought it to the servers attention and she apologized profusely. She said the place is sprayed regularly but the market and the building itself have a problem. We tried to sit and finish our drinks and dessert, but another one crawling across the table brought our evening to an end. Sad that employees have to explain to customers, that the building isn't doing their part.

I was very disappointed. I went a few years ago, and it was great. This time not so much. The duck was really overcooked, and the sauce I received on my seafood tasted like buttered chicken sauce

What a pleasant experience. I planned a day of new experiences (based around the 5 sense) for my husband's birthday. For taste, I booked Waldo's on King for lunch. Having never been here, I am so glad this was the restaurant I chose. It was perfect! Our sever, Cameron was very nice, personable and attentive! I was so pleased with his service! The restaurant tolerated my messaging weeks before and accommodated all of my requests. The food was amazing! The presentation of the food was so beautiful and creative. The chef was incredibly nice, to split our one dessert order into two separate stylish presentations. The dessert, dark chocolate mouse with assorted berries, was also heavenly to taste! Thank you Waldo's for helping me to make my husband's day of new experiences meaningful and adventurous!

Went here for an anniversary and had the most lovely dinner thanks to John and Theresa. The calamari and sea food stack was spectacular, John and Theresa made the night enjoyable by their vibrant and kind personalities. In summary, best restaurant for a date night !

First time trying Waldos on our 22nd anniversary. Loved the atmosphere, charming and modern. Teresa was personable and fun. NY strip might be one of the best I've had, thanks to Johnny on the kitchen. Same for the short ribs.We'll definitely return.

My husband and I decided to give Waldo's a try during one of the busiest times.... right before the Knight Game. We know how hard it can be to find a table but have been very lucky this last month. The food was phenomenal. So phenomenal we have been back more than once. Great Food. Great Staff. Great atmosphere. Great Fast Service so we aren't late for the game :) I recommend to all!

My husband and I have been to Waldo’s a few times but tonight was by far our best experience. Our server John went above and beyond, was so polite and helpful, very kind and professional. My husband and I have been together for almost 10 years, we’ve been out for dinner hundreds of times and John was the best service we’ve ever had.

Waldo's on King is a great place to go for an amazing meal.  A couple friends and I went for Londonlicious and both that menu and the regular menu had fantastic options.  The food was cooked to perfection.  The baked brie was mouthwatering. The soup of the day came in a very small bowl but was delicious. I worry about too much salt in soups at restaurants but they did not over salt it and it was a wonderful creamy mushroom & brie soup.  The breadsticks on the table were unique and scrumptious.All of us ordered the pasta bar for our mains and they even allowed my request of substituting gnocchi instead of a listed pasta.  Their pasta bar has pretty much anything you could want to put in a bowl of pasta, so many different vegetables and meats with several sauce options. And you can put in whatever you want. Portion sizes were great!The evening was made EXTRA special and fun by the wonderful staff.  Holly & John were knowledgeable, very friendly and attentive.  Thank you to you both for such a great time, you made our night!I highly recommend this place if you want great atmosphere, food and to be treated with some of the best service in the industry.  I'm looking forward to returning and trying some of the other delicious looking items on the menu.

My friend and I ate dinner here and had an absolutely fabulous experience. We made a last minute reservation so could only book a table at the bar but this didn't interfere with a beautiful dinner. Our server/bartender John took our orders and made our drinks in a very timely manner and frequently checked in to ensure we were enjoying our meal. The owner Mark sat down next to us and was very happy to offer recommendations and discuss how a dish could be accomodated to our specific preference. He seemed to interact with many of the customers to ensure everyone was enjoying their evening at his restaurant. We ate the beetroot salad and jumbo shrimp appetizers and the lamb and short rib entrees as well as the creme brulee dessert. Literally everything was absolutely delicious. The attention to detail of the chefs was very evident and the portion sizes were excellent at this pricepoint. This was our first visit to this restaurant and we certainly intend to return.
