    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!

    Had a very nice dinner at the Edge after a festive time strolling thru Main street Bethlehem. The restaurant has a warm ambiance, the menu is varied such that there is something for everyone's pallette. I had the penne pasta which was creamy delicious, the waitress (name?) was very attentive and engaging. Will be back
