Frommer's Review

Taking over the old location of Lagos on Steamer Wharf, Wai (Maori for "water") was a winner from the beginning. Its heavy focus on fresh seafood and oysters is well complemented by the water lapping directly outside its doors, and summer outdoor tables give it a festive feel. If you like fresh oysters, you'll be in seventh heaven (when they're in season, that is), and you should try them with lime sorbet and vodka, or baked in an herb Parmesan crust. Beyond that, venison, beef, lamb, duck, and ostrich also feature on an exciting menu.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
