Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Chestnut Hill

Food was quite good. Need to have have than one server for the entire floor.

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!!

Great location to host a birthday dinner. Everyone was lovely and accommodating and the food and drinks were great.

My husband and I had a very nice lunch today. My husband is currently using a walker and the entire staff was very accommodating to his needs!

Fabulous place! Love all the TVs and specials! Would definitely come back!
