WAVERLY | REA FARMS
There is some fun conversations about about which city Waverly resides in. For those that live in the area it is clear it is part of the Charlotte city proper, but is closely nestled just about a mile from the Weddington, NC city line. We are seeing more & more of these walkable, urban communities popping up in South Charlotte! Waverly is a great example of these all inclusive neighborhoods. This beautiful mix of homes, restaurants, shopping, hotels, office space, wellness, medical, etc. provides you with almost everything from the your front door. The new development of Rea Farms, which is just across the street from Waverly brings even most to this ever growing area. With easy access to I-485 & sitting on Providence Road, accessibility is convenient.
NO. 1 | YAMA Why it is Concierge Approved | We think it's safe to say, this is one of the top sushi restaurants in Charlotte, and it might just be our #1! Everything we have ever had is beyond fresh & delicious. A few of our must try dishes include: Naruto, Gyoza, Crunch Roll, Waverly Roll, Bento Boxes & our absolute favorite, the H&M Roll. While the H&M Roll isn't on the menu at this location, they will be happy to make it for you. It consists of tuna, avocado, topped with tuna, tempura flakes, masago, spring onions & a spicy aioli. So good!!! The restaurant is modern yet casual. The service always incredible. Very friendly & prompt with any request. And lastly, since sushi is kind of our thing, it is hard to leave room for dessert, be sure to save room for the Molten Cake...so divine! We could go on & on!
