Unique contemporary American cuisine. Menu was unique and had true flair. Everything we ordered was cooked perfectly. Crab and oysters were incredibly fresh and beautifully presented. Meat was absolutely delicious and sweet potato puree was incredible.

The ambiance was lively and hip but comfortable. We noticed that the lovely wooden acoustic panels on the wall did their job well; the restaurant was full but we had no trouble hearing one another—a rare treat nowadays.

Totally recommend Little Water. I’m looking forward to returning and bringing out of town guests.

Chef Randy and Amanda Rucker have rucking done it again!

We’ve been fans of River Twice for years now, and I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t been looking forward to their second restaurant since it’d been announced.

But holy moly, Little Water is a triumph.

Where to start?

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful! Much more spacious than River Twice, yet still cozy, comfortable, and quiet. If there was a couch, I would bring a book, have a cocktail and never leave. The interior design is inspired/inspiring as my wife and I sat at the bar and started to pick elements we may want to use in future home improvements.

If you’re a fan of Chef Rucker’s playful flavors, techniques, seasonality, and fresh seafood, there’s so much to like here.

For two people, we definitely over ordered - but we ate every single bite. Not a morsel left.

The Grand Plateau was so good! One of our favorite oyster preparations to date, we fought over the scallops in lemon oil, the pickled clams with Alabama white sauce and shrimp cocktail w/ smoked catsup and horseradish were perfect compliments to each other.

Chef Rucker once did a venison tartare years ago that we still talk about as one of our favorite bites ever, so when we saw another venison tartare on the menu we had to order it. And while very different from the past iteration, this was one of the best bites of the night.

The Caesar-like Salad is definitely for garlic lovers - wow! Super savory, bright, a little funky from the furikake.

From pictures from their first week of service I think the dish I was most looking forward to was the Hash Brown with Crab Salad and Uni. We were happy that there were two per order, and they came with a generous amount of uni. Maybe my palate was a little blown out from the Caesar salad, but I thought the hash brown could have used a bit more salt. But I love a salty, fried potato.

The Swordfish Milanese was a knockout! We had been debating whether to get the Chuck Flap or this dish, and as we were finishing the Swordfish we said we would have been really sad if we missed this dish. It was so crispy, meaty, yet delicate. The bitter green salad and tartar-like sauce were perfect accompaniments. And though we were full we had to eat every last bite.

My wife will usually go for chocolate desserts, but we took our bartender’s suggestion to go for the squash dessert, and we were so glad we did. It was the perfect amount of sweet, creamy, savory from sage(?), and we felt good about having vegetables for dessert!

We sat at the bar and shoutout to the bartending staff for their attentiveness, banging beverage suggestions, conversation, and genuinely being a good hang!

Little Water is a great addition to the Rittenhouse area that’s already full of great spots. But this is the one I can’t wait to return to.

Lightning struck twice with the Ruckers, folks.

From the moment you step into Little Water, it’s clear Randy and Amanda have poured their hearts into every detail. Their second venture brings the same passion and excellence they're known for.
Randy's culinary skills shine through in crafting dishes that are as delicious as they are beautiful. Amanda’s decor transports you to the shore, with thoughtful touches that make every corner of the space inviting. Highly recommend visiting for an exceptional experience in the heart of the city!

Delighted with this addition to the neighborhood. Lively and lovely venue from the good folks at River Twice, the Passyunk Avenue spot. The menu is stunning, with crowd pleasing dishes like the Hash Browns with Peekytoe Crab and Uni (a delicious combination of hot and cold, soft and crunchy), Caesar-like Salad, Country Ham with Squid Ink Biscuits, and Sweet Amalia Oysters. Whole Fried Black Bass is like a sculpture set in the center of the table. Cocktails are excellent. The chicken is a very large portion. Most plates are share size. Many people order the Grande Plateau, which looks like a lot of seafood.

Snagged an early reservation at the bar and were so impressed with the food, ambience and service!

We started out with a seafood plateau (cute that it's a plateau and not a tower) and everything was so well executed. Our favorites were the crab claws (beautifully painted with mustard and chives) and the scallops with Buddha's hand (could easily have polished off an order of this each).

We also had the hash browns with peekytoe crab and uni (delectable) and split the swordfish milanese (a perfect hearty main).

We went for cocktails and were so impressed with the ocean water and juice box negroni.

Overall, a top notch newcomer to the excellent philly seafood scene and one we will definitely return to!
