    Lovely food and ambiance but not to sound overly millennial but the acoustics were so loud!
    WAYGOODResponded on 22 September 2024
    Thank you for joining us and it sounds (no pun intended) like you had a lovely time. When we build the place from scratch 9 years ago, the entire ceiling was installed with acoustics paneling as that was a real concern going forward and have had very good experiences on our busy nights over many years, so sorry for your experience.

    Our third visit to Waygood. Once again a fabulous evening. It was very busy and they were 2 servers down, but that did not affect their service or the food. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a veggie forward menu. We went for the cauliflower and Brussels sprouts but both were off the menu due to the season. However, the eggplant, pumpkin, barramundi, scallops and lamb definitely made up for it.

    Had the pleasure of enjoying a gorgeous meal & drinks at Waygood. We were guided through an amazing two course meal by Donald, our cheeky and delightful waiter & sommelier, who provided a splendid wine recommendatioon to boot! We also felt extremely looked after by hilarious and warmly hospital VM Carmel. A night to remember, can't wait to be back!

    Donald sends a warm "cheeky" hello, thank you for your kind words!

    Food was delicious and reasonably priced. We shared a bunch of small dishes and a couple of mains. Service was excellent and they were happy to give advice on the menu and in relation to where to go for drinks after. Will definitely be back!

    My experience at WayGood was fantastic! The wait staff were welcoming, attentive and knowledgable about the menu. The drink list is expansive and the food was delicious. The only downside was the noise level - it is quite a small space and with a few loud tables, it was very loud. However, that wasn't the fault of WayGood. They kindly offered to shift us to a quieter area. Would definitely recommend to others and will be returning :)
