Brilliant - Wans is a much needed venue in our area. Spacious, quiet, comfortable with great food and service. It takes guts and determination to open a restraunt in the hospitality industry today, so hears hoping Wans stays long term.

Me and my wife had a great experience at the chef's table last night. It has been over a year since we last visited since our son was born and we were so glad to see the food not only has maintained its high quality but in fact has best our last experience! Well done to Keita and his talented team behind the kitchen counter!
