Food: Delightful dishes, some hit & miss

Wood & Water revels in its creative food combinations, with standout dishes like the Spicy Tuna Crostini boasting unique eggplant pairing, and the fresh Yellowtail and Watermelon Sashimi turning heads. However, the journey of taste ebbs and flows, with some dishes falling flat. The portions fare similarly, leaning towards the smaller side, which does put a question mark over value for money.

  • Great Variety

    Menu diverse, with variety and something for everyone, consistently good.

  • Okay Creativity

    Menu's variety offers both potential hits and misses, suggesting room to grow.

  • Quality

    Descriptions of food as old, flavorless, and with quality issues are most concerning.
