    Had an absolutely exceptional, fabulous, gorgeous time with my friends here today. Dining in the cellar room felt like we had gone back in time. A nice feel of classy casual. The level of service was fantastic, with designated friendly waiters continually checking in and keeping us hydrated. The starter/share plates and cocktails were so tasty. Fuss free, and quaint. I look forward to going back.

    This was our first visit to Wagyuto. Although it's not far from our home, we were completely unaware of it, but luckily stumbled upon it while surfing the internet. And boy are we glad we did. We went there for a combined Valentine's Day/wedding anniversary celebration, and the restaurant exceeded expectations. Great food, brilliant attentive service, lovely ambience, and reasonably priced considering the very high quality. We're definitely going to become regulars.
