Wantusawa Oyster Bar is back:
Wantusawa announced the reopening via an Instagram post published today, March 1. "Our tables and plates were empty, but our hearts are full of gratitude to welcome you back," the oyster bar writes. "Thank you for your unwavering support; we can’t wait to serve you again here at Wantusawa, Poblacion, Makati!"
Wantusawa further shares that this resumption of operations comes after "fully complying with investigations" by Makati City Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit and Makati City Hall. "Ensuring quality and safety has always been Wantusawa Oyster Bar's top priority."
"[We] look forward to welcoming you back to its bar and are confident that you will enjoy the same high-quality experience that you have come to expect," they add.
The popular Poblacion hangout came under social-media fire earlier this year, following customer complaints on social media relating to food poisoning—to which they released a statement reiterating their "commitment to delicious, safe and healthy cuisine for all its patrons" and claiming issues of food-poisoning allegations were dealt with immediately. "Laboratory tests conducted on samples from those dates formally complained of have shown a negative result for bacteria and thus clearing the possibility of any food poisoning." They were then ordered closed by the City of Makati Business Permit Office in February.
UPDATE (March 1, 5:28 p.m.): Wantusawa has released an updated statement. The article has been updated to reflect that development.
