    The appetizers and entrées were excellent. The challenge for the restaurant is they did not have enough staff to manage the number of patrons last evening which created unnecessary delays in drinks, water, bread service, etc. And the noise level in the back area of the large dining room had levels that far exceeded the ability for two people to have a nice conversation over a holiday meal.

    Amazing First Visit to Water and Wine! My friend and I recently visited Water and Wine for the first time, and it was absolutely worth the nearly hour-long drive! From start to finish, the experience was incredible. Our waiter, Jason, was phenomenal. He took the time to make thoughtful recommendations, and every plate of food we tried was nothing short of perfection. Some of our favorite dishes were the Cajun calamari, braised short ribs, and New York strip steak—all were cooked and seasoned to perfection. Jason's kindness and attention to detail truly elevated our meal, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about providing top-notch service. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a stunning view of the lake that added to the ambiance. Every staff member we interacted with was so friendly and attentive, which made us feel welcome and valued. We will definitely be back and highly recommend Water and Wine to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience!

    Food and drinks were good but Service was not good at all. Way too crowded and appetizers took an hour to come out and dinner took another hour to come out.

    A perfect place for a holiday lunch with 6 friends. Our waiter was amazing. She was professional, caring, friendly, and on top of everything without being intrusive. We all chose the special price fixed menu which had an assortment of choices that appealed to each of us. Many of us started with the Rose Sangria special with our bread course. The appetizer that was most popular was an impressive amount of mozzarella on a bed of extremely tasty cooked peppers. A garlic shrimp appetizer smelled deliciously garlic and was gobbled up! The most popular entree was short ribs. All enjoyed the slowly cooked meat. The chicken Milanese was so good. Finally the salmon offering and the shrimp dish were delicious too. Three desserts offered on the lunch , most had the creme brûlée which was amazing. The only other dessert ordered was the cheesecake, which had a brûlée top. So delicious. Cappicinos were presented beautifully in layers and were a perfect ending to a wonderful meal. The large picture windows in the room look out on a beautiful and serene lake which added so much to the light and calmness of our dining adventure.

    The service was great, the food was great. Overall excellent dinner and our server, Jackie was very attentive and nice. I was only disappointed that my mother's burger, which she ordered medium well was served rare and she had to send it back. While I don't mind that it wasn't removed from the bill, they could have removed the $4.50 charge for ice for a drink, or the $7.50 extra charge for the martini ordered up (as we were not told of these charges). But overall, that would not stop us from going back.
