    We had a delightful evening with beautiful surroundings, attentive service, and outstanding food. We were celebrating and the staff was very accommodating of our relaxed pace as we caught up and enjoyed a long evening. All the courses were thoughtfully composed with top quality ingredients and subtle flavors and textures- just a really well thought out and executed menu

    Our first meal at Little Water was fabulous!! First, the atmosphere was very lively, even on a Tuesday night. But not too loud, which was awesome. Perfect balance. Second, the servers were friendly and helpful. Third, the drinks were great! We drank lovely wines and well made cocktails. Now for the food… amazing!! Our group of 4 shared the Grand Plateau cold seafood app and it was incredible. The portions were good, the quality was excellent, and the fresh shaved horseradish on the shrimp cocktail was a new experience that is setting the bar high for shrimp cocktail for the rest of my life. For small plates we tried the mackerel (great), the cereal salad (one of the best in the city), and the hash brown (not sure why this is considered a signature dish, we were disappointed and felt it was lacking something to bring the sum of the parts together). For entrees we had the swordfish Milanese (tasty and playful, would be great for lunch) and then shared the whole bass - which was exceptional. We ate every last piece off the bone!! The desserts were the perfect cherry on top - light, bright and not trying to be more impressive than the dinner. Will return again and more importantly, will recommend to others!!

    The Crab and Corn Chowder is phenomenal! It is chock-full of deliciousness. It’s a very hearty soup that can almost double as a meal with the fresh and hot dinner rolls. The House Salad is also a great choice. The pickled strawberries and the goat cheese combined with the crunchy texture of the walnuts makes your mouth very happy. The dressing is not overwhelming either. You won’t leave the restaurant hungry even if you just get the soup and salad. That being said, we have enjoyed their main entrees which are also delicious, fresh and filling. Our server, Mark, is a genuinely nice person who seems to really enjoy his work. Ask to be seated in his section if he’s available. You won’t regret it!
