Best Contemporary American Restaurants in South Street

Everything was amazing! Our server, Kevin, was attentive and had an extensive knowledge of the menu. We came here for a special occasion and can’t wait to return!

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!

Great place. A wonderful dinner, great service, comfortable. I’ve been before and will be again. Great food. Good location.

I recently dined at FIA and had a wonderful experience that I felt compelled to share. The highlight of my meal was the crispy red snapper, which was absolutely delicious—truly a chef’s kiss! The dish was expertly prepared, with a perfect balance of flavors that made it a standout. Equally impressive was the customer service, primarily thanks to Josh, who truly wore many hats that evening. He efficiently ran the floor with a warm smile, seamlessly transitioning between hosting, taking orders, serving, and even busing tables—all while managing an entire section on his own. His positive demeanor and attentiveness greatly enhanced the dining experience. While the food was fantastic, it was also Josh's exceptional service and engaging conversation that made me decide to return to FIA in the future. Overall, it was a delightful evening, and I look forward to my next visit!

One of the best dinner experiences we've had in a long time. The food and drinks were incredible, the service was excellent, and the restaurant is beautiful. We didn't leave a single crumb on our plates!
