I’m writing to share our experience at Wagyutu in Clovelly, which was unfortunately very frustrating. As someone with six years of hospitality experience, I understand the challenges of running a restaurant, but our visit fell significantly short of expectations. Our order was simple: edamame and miso eggplant for entrees, two wagyu steaks (medium rare) for mains, a glass of Prosecco, and a Coke Zero. From the start, it was clear the front-of-house staff were unprepared for a busy Saturday service, especially for a restaurant of this caliber. For example, after requesting Coke Zero, we were served regular Coke. Upon pointing this out, the staff checked and informed us Coke Zero wasn’t available—this is understandable, but it reflects poorly when basic inventory isn’t managed before service begins. The real issue was the 45-minute wait for our mains, which we never received. After 20 minutes, a waitress informed us the steaks would be ready in 2 minutes. Ten minutes later, she claimed they were being prepared on the chopping board. Another 5 minutes passed, cutlery (not steak knives) was set, but still no food arrived. We eventually left, hungry and frustrated. What made the situation worse was the lack of transparency. If the order was forgotten, delayed, or burned, the best approach is to tell the truth. I understand these things happen. However, offering false reassurances and failing to deliver is both offensive and unprofessional. Suggestions for Improvement: Train your front-of-house staff thoroughly to ensure they can manage service expectations and communicate honestly with customers. If the kitchen is overwhelmed, reduce the number of available tables to give chefs flexibility and maintain quality. If this level of delay is recurring, it may be time to assess kitchen operations or staff capacity. Many customers, including us, were visibly uncomfortable and dissatisfied, waiting for food and glancing into the kitchen for answers. This isn’t sustainab

Delicious quality Japanese food in the local Clovelly community. The staff are so friendly and efficient. We love coming back here time and time again. My two favourite dishes are miso-glazed eggplant and agedashi tofu.
