    Our second time at Little Water and quickly becoming our favorite restaurant in the city. Upon walking in, the hostesses greeted us by name and our server knew of our food allergies from our last visit. From their non-alcoholic drink options to every flavor on the menu, each item we ordered was fantastic and just as good as we remembered from the first visit. The fried sea bass is definitely a star of the show and we have literally told no less than 3 dozen people about it lol. I’m not normally one to leave a long detailed review, but Little Water really delivers a phenomenal dining experience in every way — best food/drink and service/hospitality in recent memory no question!

    We went for lunch & shared charcuterie, cheese plate, & Trout Almondine. All were excellent. Our server, Makenzie, was delightful & attentive without being intrusive, and helpful with suggestions. The only negative was uncomfortable chairs. Otherwise, we had a lovely leisurely lunch.

    Really cool, vintage atmosphere with great, live music. We had a reservation but upon arrival, finding out who to connect with to be seated was chaotic and unclear. Once we found who we had to check in with, seating was relatively quick but still a lot of shuffling back & forth, in a crowded bar area before being escorted to our final destination. The hostes was very nice & our server was also pleasant. Service was a bit slow but it was getting busy. Drinks tasted good but seemed like a very light pour, for the prices charged. Having the option to go over to the club without having to leave the building was also a big plus!
