Wayward is a global fusion restaurant and bar in South Scottsdale, on the Old Town strip. The room is tight and social, built for drinking as much as eating, and the cocktail program has become the main draw for regulars. The food menu isn't fixed — it shifts over time, so a return visit doesn't always turn up the same dishes as the last.
Crowd reaction is split. Many describe strong food, service, and atmosphere, calling it a local favorite worth the visit. Others point to cramped seating and inconsistent service, and some regulars have found the menu's changes hard to keep up with.
