It is a very nice restaurant; Large, but not overbearing. I could see going here either on date night, or with 2 more couples. Our server Patrick was fantastic from the beginning of the night, straight through to the end. He was friendly, and very efficient. Chef/owner Scott came out from the kitchen to greet us and other patrons, and was gracious to everyone. Onto the food. The Duck Tacos and Mussels were very tasty. I think I might put a call into Chef and have him make me a bottle of that Mussels sauce to take home with me. Then came the crisp Caesar Salad, which kept everything bright. To finish, we had the Black Cod and Duck Confit, both of which were very well balanced and cooked perfectly. Oh, and the Guava-glazed Brussels Sprouts were a perfect side. Next time, I want to try one or two of their desserts. All-in-all, we had a great experience, and the night was a success. Chef, see you soon. I might just bring a large mason jar for some sauce!..

This time, the food was ok (relatively mediocre), but i cannot return because we found a mouse under the kids' seats after finishing dinner. The kids were playing under the table and I told them to get up but they said there was a mouse. We thought they were joking or making it up bc they're young and tend to play make believe but then after my daughter confirmed she wasn't making it up, I looked under with my phone flashlight. Lo and behold, a little mouse chomping away at a trap. Which means they know about the problem. I feel sick to my stomach because you just don't know if the mice are crawling around on the tables at night, on the dishes, in the kitchen, etc. Sorry to say, but I won't be returning.

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.

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!

My mindset was in the spirit of supporting Black Owned Businesses, I should give it a try and promote it because this pandemic has really affected some many businesses. So I got a my favorite curry chicken roti and beef patties, I missed out on getting the jerk chicken patty because it had just sold out. I was very impressed with how the beef patties looked, they were nice and fluffy with beef filling up the inside. It wasn't too flaky and in my opinion they were just perfect! The curry chicken roti was definitely a winner! Inside a roti, you will find well seasoned curry chicken mixed with potatoes and I just loved the flavor! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it and I wish I could turn back the hands of time and eat it all over again lol. They have very affordable prices and you get good quality food so you won't be disappointed that's for sure. So I'm honored to be the first one to post pictures and do a review because they deserve it! Check them out and enjoy some real Jamaican food!

I ordered the edamame dumplings and absolutely loved them. They were delicious, full of flavor, and honestly won my heart. My husband got the vegan double cheeseburger with beet and walnut patties, which was something different from the usual veggie burgers we've had. The patties were really flavorful and delicious. We also tried their house-made dragon fruit lemonade, which was refreshing and went really well with our meal. Since it was our first time, our server was really nice and helpful. He took the time to guide us through the menu and helped us decide what to try, which we appreciated. The service was good and the ambience was nice and comfortable. It's conveniently located by Menlo Park Mall, so there's plenty of parking as well. Overall, we had a really good experience. Everything we tried was tasty, the service was welcoming, and we're already looking forward to coming back and trying more from the menu!

The Food Starter: Edamame Dumplings, Salad: Organic Tuscan Kale, & main course: Vegan Double Cheeseburger (WOW‼). I would recommend this to everyone for sure. The only minuscule disappointment was that our beverages were delayed, and the Edamame Dumplings were a little disappointing; in that it was lacking a very small portion of Edamame. My daughter did place another order, and this time the Edamame was well served. Yet she was not offered a compliment credit towards the unsatisfactory portion on first order. The good atmosphere was vibrant and excitable in the Mix. Definitely add to your To-Do-Visit

The restaurant is small and comfy, with 4-seat tables lined up against one wall and the opposite wall being taken up by a counter and counter seats. Pictures of food hang on both walls and four brown ceiling fans hang from the ceiling. The restaurant's color scheme is very "latte", as the main colors are white and beige and only one part of the wall is red. Daughter ordered the fried flounder with 2 over easy eggs and grits with wheat bread. She said that the fish was nicely fried and crunchy. It didn't need tartar or cocktail sauce. She said it was her first time eating a breakfast item like this and her taste buds had never felt this sensation before. LOL. Hubs ordered the pinto con chorizo with sunny side up eggs. The server warned him that the sausage was spicy, but he didn't care. When we came here, Hubs didn't expect Hispanic food for brunch and was so surprised and so happy. He found the first item that he can see and translate and was happy he did. The chorizo had a nice spunk to it. He was happy that he got rice and beans instead of home fries and what a delightful change! The chips were also nice and crispy. Lastly, I had waffles with mixed fruit. I LOVED my waffles because it was nice and crunchy. The mixed fruit were bananas, strawberries, grapes and blueberries. They were a nice touch. I was asked if I wanted whipped cream and I said yes. Coffee was freshly brewed and it was nice and strong. It wasn't ordinary diner coffee. Hubs was happy about getting his cup refilled. Service was fast and really friendly. The waiter was always smiling. Parking is street parking. When we were there, it was free parking. Neighborhood was a bit sketchy, though. We were thinking of checking out the flea market across the street but changed our minds. Glad we got to try this place! Maybe one day, we'll be back.

The broth was deeply flavorful, the onions were beautifully rendered, the temperature was perfect, and there was plenty of gooey cheese. The crouton was completely soggy, and I would have preferred it served on the side, although I recognize that maintaining the right texture is always a challenge with French onion soup. The cornbread was a miss for me. While I appreciated the generous portion, it was a little too dry, and the sour cream topping was more tart than I prefer. I also would have liked a more pronounced crust from the skillet. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was spot-on. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.
