The newly remodeled & revised menu/ bar Wood & Water is both delicious and very impressive. As both clients & guests my wife & I immensely enjoyed our experience. The pastas & ahi tuna were exceptional. The servers are both ample & hospitable. They also have jazz nights during the week. We will most definitely return to enjoy another evening.

The food was excellent. Delicious. Service was a little slow because they need more help. Try the Albacore and Watermelon appetizer! Lamb chops were delicious!

The place is loud. The food is MEH. Our 86-year-old friend kept getting bumped in his chair from the host while he talked with people in the booth next to us. Not cool. Expensive, loud. We won't be returning.

Celebrated our son's wedding anniversary with his wife and daughter. Service was warm, attentive, and personal. Not one miss in what we ordered from a tuna on crisp eggplant appetizer through salmon and sea bass, cooked and presented to perfection among our entrees, to comped tiramisu presented to honor the married couple. We had not been there in quite some time, but now will be back soon.
