    Little Water is a refreshing dinner spot offering a nice variety of seafood dishes. The service and pacing of the meal make this place shine - it is so relaxing to dine here! The staff keep glasses full. The pacing of the meal is excellent - they leave plenty of time for each dish to shine. Tables are spaced out nicely as well, further contributing to a relaxed dining experience. We had a 5:45 res on a Saturday night and stayed for about 2 hours as a party of 2 ordering apps, drinks & entrees. For a ladies night out, we tried the bread, swordfish crudo, Caesar salad & swordfish Milanese. Each course surpassed our expectations. The caesar salad was HUGE and delicious - definitely something you could split as a large side for 2 or a small side for 4. Excellent wine and cocktail selection as well. They also had some mocktails on the menu that looked tasty. Absolutely thrilled! Would return for a celebration

    Had a delicious brunch at the Love-excellent service, interesting menu, large portions. I would give it 5 stars but the potatoes served with the eggs were useless-too salty, no other seasoning-just unembellished potatoes straight from the fryolater. Everyone at the table agreed. Everything else was fabulous, tho.

    We had an early reservation (5pm) and the place was quiet and fairly empty. The tables were close to each other but that was okay for an early reservation. The menu was varied and not overly large, but with enough choices as to suit just about everyone's tastes. The food portions were good and very rich, so you may only want to split an appetizer or a side. I highly recommend the short rib entre or the seared scallops and shrimp entre. Please note that your tab will grow quickly as the prices are a bit steep, but worth every penny. The wait staff was awesome. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food and spoke freely about what his favorites were. He also emphasized that all entries were made fresh and there were no bad choices. The only downside was that the noise lever increased as the restaurant became more full, but that was to be expected. I highly recommend Talula's if you want a special place to treat yourself to a fine meal.

    Had some of the best food I’ve ever eaten at Fork. The service was excellent and they went out of their way to offer recommendations to us while visiting Philly. Recommend it to anyone visiting who doesn’t want touristy vibes.
