    My experience was amazing! First time being back from McKenzies the restaurant is amazing. The calamari was outstanding as was my shrimp and scallop curry dish. Our server Emily was awesome and very knowledgeable about the menu and provided great recommendations such as the apple spring rolls we had for dessert. 10/10 would come back!

    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.
