   The swordfish was dry and overcooked. The wine pours were the tiniest I’ve ever seen.

   This was our second visit and was not up to the first. First visit ( on second night open) had whole grilled fish, farro, beef main and a few others. All fabulous. Last night, one month later, had swordfish and scallop raw bar that was wonderful. Caesar salad very good. Big eye tuna first also very good. Swordfish Milanese main very disappointing. Very dry and tasteless. Beef just ok. Very very fatty and portion really so small for the price. Farro no longer on menu. Desert of key lime- eh and granola on pudding - thought I was eating a breakfast. I wanted the popsicle but it was no longer on the menu. Drinks were very good. Service was very good. Noisy but still can talk- energetic vibe. But we’ll give it a rest for now.

   Delicious and delightful experience! All of the servers were thoughtful, enthusiastic and attributed to what was truly a splendid evening. The atmosphere is chic and charming, and the food is scintillating! It’s hard to choose a favorite dish— everything really was scrumptious. Cheers to a new restaurant in Rittenhouse! Little Water is lovely & I can’t wait for round two in the near future.

   The restaurant is cozy and welcoming, with a partially open kitchen. The attention to detail and innovation they put into their food is just as elevated as Chef Rucker’s Rivertwice. Every bite was delicious and presented simply, highlighting the gorgeousness of the dish. If I had to pick, the swordfish belly tartare and fried whole bass were favorites. The drinks were creative and strong, with perfectly clear ice cubes! We were so full but had to have the desserts, which as always, were light and perfect, simultaneously sophisticated and comforting. The only downside is we couldn’t possibly try everything, but we can’t wait to go back! Seating at the raw bar is a great vantage point and also cozy, casual and intimate. The staff were so knowledgeable, friendly and attentive, clearly well trained, excited to know us and welcoming. Bravo Chef!

   Three of us spent an enjoyable evening at Little Water, a lovely new restaurant in the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. We were celebrating the recent birthday of our dear friend. We were greeted warmly and asked to wait until our table was vacated and ready. As the restaurant was packed it was difficult to have a conversation. Our birthday girl was given a signed birthday card from the staff. It was a very nice gesture. The menu isn’t extensive but there are several good options. We ordered the Grand Plateau and two large plates. Everything was delicious and prepared with care. Our server was helpful with suggestions and advice regarding dietary restrictions. I will definitely return as it is a lovely place in my neighborhood.

   Little Water is close to great, and will get there. Space is lovely, service was terrific, vibe is lively but conversations are possible. Small plates (bigeye tuna, hash browns, cabbage) and the scallops main were home runs. Only downside was a miss on the swordfish milanese--breading overwhelmed the fish so that, with some bits, you didn't even notice the fish. But we'll be back for sure.

    Seafood forward menu but plenty of other meats and veggies to round out the meal. I found it easy to find gluten free options for everything but dessert. My husband enjoyed his birthday meal. Almost forgot to mention the drinks are amazing, boozy and flavorful, a rare occurrence.
