My wife and I have been to Wao twice in 2024 and each time we made sure to try new dishes; everything from here is excellent. Our first visit was during Restaurant Week of Spring 2024 and the second visit was in August 2024 for selections from the full menu. Each time the food was impeccable and the service was fantastic. We will be back again soon.
