What our guests are saying

The ambiance is terrific, as is the service, but the best thing about Wood & Water is the superb cuisine. A perfect date night spot. Their menu stays consistently great, and my favorite dishes are always available.

Cool, calm, and cozy atmosphere. The Crispy Lobster Sliders and fried Calamari were crispy and flavorful. The Wild King Salmon was packed with flavor. Definitely getting the sliders again!

From the beginning, the hostess was very kind and attentive. The food was amazing. My husband isn't a fan of key lime pie but it was recommended by our waiter and we loved it!

Stopped in for happy hour at the bar. Trays of oysters, small plates, and lovely cocktails. The lobster sliders and duck egg rolls were fantastic. We will be back!
