    My third time at Little Water although this time for brunch. The menu isn’t your typical brunch menu—it’s beyond eggs and bagels, thankfully. We had the mackerel and tuna dishes, both delicious. The bitter green salad and sour dough bread were perfect sides and the funky Italian Rose didn’t disappoint. The service thanks to our waiter Jackson was personable, warm and professional. Only downer was the dessert choices—very limited and not exactly of interest for our birthday girl but the signed card was. Many thanks to the team here…you’re doing great…and I’ll be back!

    Honestly.. It was one of the first upscale restaurants I’ve been to, I can’t usually justify the huge price tag that comes with a meal for two. However, I had a baby 5 months ago & I felt we deserved the experience, having a night out to ourselves. It was superb. We had the Caesar, the cheese board, rolls, cornbread, Brussels, and risotto. The entrees sounded good but not necessarily what we were looking for. They made sure we were finished with our first appetizer course, its dishes, and even the table was wiped off between courses. The cocktails were moderately priced, the food prices were average for the atmosphere, and service was excellent - we had Eduardo as our server. Definitely recommend.
