    I have been to Water and Wheat with friends and family many times, and everything that we have ordered has been excellent. Whether it's a salad or a pasta dish, it's fabulous. The servers are all friendly and helpful, You will enjoy dining here for lunch or dinner.

    One of the best meals I’ve had in New York City! And because my son was getting in late, we couldn’t make our 845 reservation but when I said we probably wouldn’t be able to be there before they closed at 930, the owner said come on up & we’ll take care of you since we’ll be here closing up until 11pm. Talk about accommodating! And the food was incredibly good. The panzanella salad was to die for. It’s a small no frills neighborhood spot I already love!

    Great experience here at W&W. Our only issue we encountered is that we arrived 10 mins early for our reservation and there isn’t a wait area and as it was raining and cold outside we had to wait right by the door entry/exit. It was really tight and not much room to maneuver. Other than that it was great service and great food. We definitely recommend and we will come back to experience more of the menu.
