    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!

    I wanted to be in the midst of plants and flowers and beautiful smells on this winter afternoon. Terrain did not disappoint. I ordered a large, delicious chicken pot pie, my husband had the Terrain burger and our friend ordered the omelet. No one was disappointed. We also shared dessert board, which arrived with a large variety of pastries. Important Note: they serve brunch daily until 4:00!!!! One caution. Come dressed warmly, it can be chilly in the cafe.

    The Sunday Brunch is very good at The Rail. The selections are plentiful and very tasty. The French Toast casserole is always wonderful. We did miss the melodious sounds of the pianist which added a certain sense of elegance.

    Deerfield does not disappoint. Our family tradition of Brunch with Santa continued this year. The food was delicious, the service was spot on. They were both attentive without being overbearing. Thank you for giving the opportunity to keep a treasured transition going!
