Tyler Florence's Financial District tavern known for old-school American comfort food, including a standout organic fried chicken that Roger called a can't-miss order.
Moved
Roger visited the original location at 558 Sacramento St. After 14 years there, Wayfare Tavern relocated in spring 2025 to a larger space three blocks away at 201 Pine St, where it remains open under the same name and menu concept.
