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!

Twenty Manning

Trevlig grannrestaurang - - vi brukade äta här hela tiden. Sedan blev det SOOOO bullriga vi gav upp. Det är fortfarande bullrigt, men öppnar kl 17, vilket var vad vi behövde. Tyvärr var det en irriterande upplevelse. Vi satt och pratade över våra drycker och besökte oss flera gånger av vår servitör och ville ta en beställning. Så föreställ dig vår överraskning när vi försökte beställa TRE olika saker från menyn - som alla var "slutade". Och det här var inte esoteriska saker (krabba kakor???) Så kom efterrätt, vi bad om en meny, beställde en beställning med samma servitör och fick höra "Åh sorry, vi har slut på det". Varför kände han behovet av att fortsätta frustrera vår orderprocess. God mat, dålig service. Så vi kommer inte tillbaka igen när som helst snart.

Trevlig liten restaurang. Liten eklektisk meny. Mycket trevlig personal. Hade en trevlig måltid under julshopping.

Möt vänner här för middag. Det är bekvämt beläget utanför Rittenhouse Square. Vårt bord var klart enligt vår bokning. En trevlig meny med specialcoctailar och god mat. Vi började med betasallad och hackad sallad. Som förrätter hade vi kammusslor, gul fin tonfisk och dagens fisk som var en branzino. Allt bereddes och presenterades på expertkunnande, och vår service var mycket bra och inte rusade. En trevlig måltid. Atmosfären var lite hög, men det var en fredag kväll.

Vårt hotell rekommenderade detta till oss. Krabba kakor var utmärkt. Annat än vad jag är van vid, men jag gillade dem mycket. Jag är inte en laxperson men jag gillade min man lax. Desserterna såg bra ut men vi var fulla.

Twenty Manning är en mindre restaurang och bar med jag skulle kunna tänka sig ett lokalt fokus. Menyn är stor och unik med måttliga priser. Skaldjur verkade vara ett starkt fokus när vi där på en fredagskväll som innehåller en fiskspecial (den här natten hela Branzino. Jag försökte sesamskorpa tonfisk men tyckte att Wasabis salladdressing var lite överväldigande. Min fru stekt kyckling var enkel, bra men relativt vanliga. Biffar som ett par personer beställde vid vårt bord var OK men inte Prime. Pasta beskrivs som bra men inte enastående.

Inredningen i restaurangen var lite trött och luftkonditioneringen droppade av fuktigheten. Sammantaget, om du är lokal vill färsk mat till måttliga priser kokta för att beställa Twenty Manning är värt att försöka.

Twenty Manning har en charmig atmosfär och härliga servrar. Och om du inte har något emot ljudet, kommer du att fina i sitt inre matsal. Om du vill ha en tystare och mer avslappnande drink och / eller måltid bör du sitta ute.

Maten är bra men inte oh min gosh underbar. Jag rekommenderar att hålla fast vid de små plattorna och tilltugg. Vi samlade de blandade oliverna, south philly wonton, kyckling satay, fingerling potatis och bröstspirorna att starta. Av våra huvudrätter var grillad kyckling vinnaren. Spaghetti Bolognese var lite torr och Edamame blandad sallad med tonfisk var belagd med en mycket vattnig dressing. Jag skulle hoppa över dessert eftersom det inte fanns något som var tillräckligt gott för att motivera kalorierna. Mycket bra French Presse kaffe men.

Priserna är måttliga.

Restaurangen har fina sittplatser som har integritet och utrymme mellan borden. Menyn var olika men min lax var torr och smaklös. Tjänsten var utmärkt. Kanske bara en dålig natt?

Jag njöt verkligen av att sitta ute och titta på åtgärden på en vacker kväll. Maten var bra, inte bra. Men tjänsten var ganska bra.

Atmosfären på Manning är en replika att äta hemma. Mathew, chefen, hälsar dig och känner ditt förnamn. Baren anbud, Jo, Amen, Peter, är alla fantastiska. Mat är smaskiga både på kvällen och helgbrunch. När vädret är trevligt äter vi alla ute. Så roligt! !

Vi var i stan för en övernattning och ville ha en utsökt middag i en härlig, men lågt nyckel restaurang. Tjugo Manning passar räkningen exakt! Våra middagar var läckra och tjänsten var precis rätt. Om jag bodde i Philadelphia kunde detta bli en av mina favoritrestauranger!

Detta är en bra restaurang med en livlig bar nära området Rittenhouse Square. Jag försökte revbenen och min fru bakade kammusslor. Mina revben var ömma men den kryddiga värmenivån i BBQ-såsen överväldigade min smaklökar och av den andra revbenen som jag ville stoppa. Min fru sa att hennes kammusslor var bra och jag måste säga hade en bra presentation. Tjänsten var stor med god uppmärksamhet åt oss.

Utmärkt mat, service, atmosfär, plats. Rimliga priser för Philly. Flaskor vin är halvvägs på söndag kväll! Vad mer finns det att säga?

Med en "Super Bowl" baksmälla vi gick till Twenty Manning! Service och mat var utmärkt Chop Chop sallad var en färsk och utsökt, hade nötkött skaftet var falla ff ben anbudet. . . utestående!

Jag vet att denna restaurang har varit öppen under en tid, men jag hade bara inte fått det fram till förra veckan. Vilken Sök! Bra service, bra mat, härlig inredning. Vi föll i mitten på 5:30 före ett kvällsmöte. Den korta revbenen över potatismos och bok choy var utmärkt!

Fantastisk mat, bra service, fantastisk atmosfär! Som någon som har att äta glutenfri jag är alltid orolig för alternativ som kanske inte är tillgängligt. De var mycket bra på tillmötesgående min mat allergi och ens hade glutenfri öl! Vi älskade vår tid på tjugo Bemanning!
