I want to preface this by saying that I'm a native New Yorker who grew up almost around the corner…read morefrom Lucali, so I'm very familiar with waits, lines, reservations, and the realities of trying to get into a popular restaurant. That's why I was actually excited and hopeful to find a restaurant in Garwood that might offer a similar experience. Unfortunately, our first impression left a lot to be desired. We arrived without a reservation and were told by the maître d' that there would be at least a two-hour wait. While I understand that restaurants get busy, the way the information was delivered felt unnecessarily dismissive. We were then directed toward the bar, where we attempted to find a place to sit. Just as we were about to sit down, the owner told us that those seats had been reserved for someone else. We went back to speak with the maître d', but the interaction and attitude at that point were unpleasant enough that we decided to leave. To his credit, the owner ultimately offered us a table outside, which we appreciated. Unfortunately, by then, the overall experience had already left us feeling unwelcome, and we decided it wasn't worth staying. I'm sure the food may very well be excellent, and perhaps we simply caught the restaurant on an off night. But a great dining experience starts well before the food reaches the table. There are plenty of restaurants where I'm happy to spend my money, and I don't expect special treatment--just basic courtesy and hospitality. Hopefully others have a better experience, but based on ours, we won't be returning.

Everything was fantastic - from the early stages of planning to the day of the party, our event coordinator Isabel helped make the entire experience seamless and stress-free.

We have no complaints and are very grateful to the entire team for making our event so special. We look forward to returning again soon!

I was able to try two of their dishes at a private event…read more I had the spicy rigatoni vodka chicken and vegetable risotto. The rigatoni had grilled chicken, fresh rigatoni, homemade marinara cream, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Calabrian chilis. This was very tasty. The chilis provided a spicy factor to this dish. The grilled chicken was cooked appropriately and paired well with the pasta. The risotto had tomatoes, artichoke, and mushrooms. Like mentioned, this was supposed to have artichoke, but it seemed like asparagus was used instead. This was a little plain. It needed more seasoning, specifically salt, pepper, and cheese. The risotto was cooked just right though. Will I go back? I was not present but probably would head there.

I sat in the back room so I could hear my friend speak and wouldn't be too close to the band, and…read morewe were the only ones in the whole back of the restaurant from 6:30 PM until we left around 10:30 PM. It was a nice, quiet space, and the live music on a Tuesday was a pleasant touch- they played some Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel, among other classics. Unfortunately, the food was hit or miss. The bread that came out was terrible- hard, inedible, and honestly better left off the table. The brie and raspberry in puff pastry was okay but unimpressive, with very little cheese inside. It didn't even look like they used egg wash on the puff pastry. At least make it nice, give it a golden glow. On the bright side, the lobster ravioli was delicious, and my friend enjoyed his mussels with chorizo, though he felt the chorizo was lacking. He didn't expect it to come on a bed of penne, while the portion was generous he was avoiding pasta. None of the desserts sounded appealing enough to try. As for drinks, my smoky old-fashioned was so overwhelmingly smoky that I had a lingering campfire aftertaste in my mouth longer than I would have liked. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet spot with live music, it's not a bad choice. But the food and drinks were inconsistent, and I wouldn't rush back.

Both bartenders are always so welcoming, attentive, and accommodating, especially with the little alterations I sometimes make to my orders. They never make you feel like you're asking for too much. They both have fantastic personalities and genuinely know how to make their customers feel special and appreciated. The rest of the staff is just as wonderful. The food servers are always so sweet and attentive, whether they're bringing out the fresh bread with that incredible compound butter or serving the meal itself. Every interaction feels warm and welcoming. Amazing food, outstanding service, and a staff that truly understands hospitality. Water & Wine consistently makes you feel like a valued guest, and that's what makes it such a special restaurant. I can't recommend it enough!

I could tell that the butter was house made and asked for extra because it was that good. Had the beef duo as the main course. I found it to be satisfying and also much better value than the steak frites. All of the items I received were very detail oriented and as well as fresh. We were seated on one side on the restaurant that I believe was blocked off for more special occasions. The other side of the restaurant seemed to have tables placed more closely to one another. Our server consistently checked on us throughout the night to make sure we were okay. Overall I was very satisfied with the service that I received here as well as with the food.

Cool atmosphere, great energy, and good food! I also got super lucky with Hailey as my waitress. She sold me on just about every item on the menu... to the point where I completely handed over the decision-making to her. Yup, that's right, I told her what I liked and trusted her to pick my three dishes. And listen, when your name is on the menu for crafting a cocktail, I'm going to trust you to pick my meal too! Now for the food: the grilled octopus was amazing. Great flavor, perfect texture, and a really nice balance with the lentils. The shishito peppers were delicious, and the sauce that came with them added the perfect pop of flavor. The beet salad, however, was a little underwhelming. Unfortunately, it didn't have much flavor, so that one left me a bit disappointed. And then there was dessert. Oh man! Hailey did it again. She brought out the sweet corn cheesecake. Sounds weird, I know, but I had to try it. And yes, it definitely had sweet corn! It was a little too weird for my taste buds, but I'm glad I tried it.... Then came the Madeleines. Bite-sized, warm, and absolutely delicious. Fair warning: if you don't tell them to take the bowl away, you WILL eat the entire thing. Man oh man...so good!!! Overall, a really fun experience with a great atmosphere, good food, and a waitress who genuinely made the experience memorable. Kudos to Hailey for the great service and for knowing exactly what to recommend! She definitely made my night.

I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.
