Here are some highlights from the dinner at the W/A restaurant. The oysters were beautifully fresh.

Healthy salad options are available

However, I couldn’t resist the waffle burger. I chose mine plain but you can have all the glorious toppings to bring out more complexity in this inspired dish.

If waffles aren’t your thing, then you can’t go wrong with their steak – succulent, flavourful, and perfectly seasoned.

For those preferring a lighter meal, we loved the salmon which is perfect for lunch

However Minipreneur jumped straight in with dessert, which was so good

absolutely delicious

he had to order more. A dessert platter is a great choice but only if the mini taster decides to share.

Not long before it was demolished, no cutlery in sight – just deep dive to the delectable goodness.
