Recently, WATR unveiled its new lunch and dinner menus, showcasing a fusion of Japanese flavors with mindful ingredients sourced from local purveyors, garden-to-table produce, and responsibly sourced partners. Spearheaded by WATR’s Chef de Cuisine Giancarlo Valera and consulting Chef Michael Collantes from the Michelin-starred Soseki, these menus aim to provide guests with an unforgettable dining experience that marries tradition with modernity.“At the heart of our new sushi program is a commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients and allowing their natural flavors to shine,” explains Chef Collantes. “By incorporating house-made ingredients and authentic Japanese wasabi, our sushi pays homage to its origins while embracing contemporary twists.”

The menu features an array of tantalizing options, from delicate sashimi to signature maki rolls.
