    The fluid and drinks were all fantastic. We had a great waiter who is very friendly, very communicative and made for a great dinner experience. I would definitely go back again.

    The food was excellent, really fresh, authentic and well presented. The restaurant space is very small, and the night we went it was crowded, every table filled, which is good for restaurant business but made the noise level outrageous. I'm not sure if they have enough staff to handle all the tables when they are full, so the service was slow, however they were friendly and apologized about it. What really matters is the food! Which was sooooo good, and the prices are not bad. Will come back when I am in that area again.

    Insalata Mista was creative and excellent. Our pasta dishes were equally excellent, and different from what we have had at other neighborhood restaurants, so having Water & Wheat a block from home is truly additive. Service was friendly and efficient. We will certainly be back!

    The service and food were not up to their usual caliber. Hope it was an off night. I know they can do better.

    The space is very cramped. Servers did a great job negotiating the limited space. Credit goes to them. Our sausage appetizer was overcooked and drowning in sauce. Server graciously offered to take it off the bill. Fennel salad had too much fennel and barely any blood oranges. Neighborhood teems with options. Will look elsewhere next time.
