Water and WineWe wanted a quiet place forWe wanted a quiet place for a small business lunch. Water and Wine was perfect. Beautiful setting, lovely lunch menu - very reasonably priced, too - and, above all, quiet!! Food was excellent. Great service, too. Our waitress was personable, attentive and unobtrusive at the same time.6/12/2013 12:00:00 AMFood and serviceOur reservation was honored; the veal chop was superbly cooked; the calamari was nice and crisp; the waiter was engaging, and personable.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMVery good food with very attentiveVery good food with very attentive service. Only negative is that the carpeting in the back dining area should be removed and replaced with hard wood floors, as exists in the other parts of the restaurant.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMFun night outThis was our first time at the restaurant and we were a large group. Food was good but pricey. Service was excellent. Older crowd in general. Quiet and semi-formal in feel, some might say a tad on the uptight side. But it was a lovely evening and the view of the lake is quite nice.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMgreat food; great service;great food; great service; great setting. i would recommend water and wine to anyone looking for a great dining experience6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMCouldn't ask for a betterCouldn't ask for a better dining experience.

Food, Service and atmosphere are always top notch,5/29/2013 12:00:00 AMInteresting, varied menu,Interesting, varied menu, beautifully served food. The setting is romantic; tables are set in cream colored linen and overlook a lake surrounded by trees.5/28/2013 12:00:00 AMAlways a Wonderful MealGreat choice for a semi-local dinner on Saturday evening with friends. Drinks were absolutely delicious. The pear martini is worth every penny - delish!! Appetizers that were wonderful included the seafood salad and the meatballs. Three of our party enjoyed the fish specials of the evening-cod and halibut. Done perfectly and put together in a pleasing manner on the plate. The veal rack chop was tender and huge. The service was good. Bill, our waiter, did his best to accommodate our table, but it was a very busy evening with a bunch of big tables around us, not unusual during this graduation and party season. The noise level was a bit energetic but mostly tolerable. The view is beautiful with the lake, trees, and wildlife.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMNice eveningAttentive staff, interesting menu that was nicely presented. It was a great choce for a very nice family dining experience.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMI love Water & Wine! The service,I love Water & Wine! The service, the food, the ambience is perfect for me. This was a birthday lunch and I couldn't have gone to a better place.5/23/2013 12:00:00 AMGlad we finally went.Overall good pace of the meal...not a lot of waiting at any point during the meal. Food was very well prepared. Desserts were exquisite!! Great place for special date night meal. Will definitely go again.5/22/2013 12:00:00 AMnice place to dineI have always had a positive experience here.....the food is consistentlyvery good..a window view is always nice5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMAll around great placeGreat food and service. Would definitely recommend it go anyone and will definitely go back.5/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat place, great food...Had a great time my wife and I, we dine out at least 3 x per week. At Water & Wine we arrived 15 min late and were seated very quick within two Min. . The place was packed when we arrived and because we were late I thought we would have to wait for ever, but I was wrong. The service was very prompt and the food was just great. One thing I didn't care for was the specials they were listed on the first page of the menu. I like it when an up scale Resturant tells you about the specials rather then seeing the listed in the menu, I guess it just me but I would rather have the specials explained.5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMNever-fails to please experienceWater and Wine is one of a handful of dining experiences we have had that, as the saying goes, is exceptional from "soup to nuts".
The quality of the food, presentation and service is always right on target. The service is crisp and efficient without being stuffy or mannered. It is pricey so it's not something we do often. It's usually for a special occasion and that leaves little room for disappointment.5/16/2013 12:00:00 AMQuiet, relaxed and service orientedWater and Wine has an interesting menu with enough diversity to satisfy most people. The view of the water is quite nice. Service provided by waiter "Larry" was exceptional and the assistants were competent and pleasant. Don't wait for a special occasion, but it fits that bill too. Short ribs were a standout! We will visit again!5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMA Gem of a PlaceHas become our favorite restaurant. Always have a great meal and service.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat Service.Nice bar, great service and good food. Very nice lake side view.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMGood except for the crying kidOverall food and service was good. We had a nice table overlooking the water, so that was nice. I wish the water was more forthcoming with how large the appetizers were, we would have ordered less to share. There was a loud crying baby next to our table that should not have been there - I would have expected the help to ask them to take the baby out side. Overall all nice place and I would return too give it another shot.5/4/2013 12:00:00 AMWe were a party of 5 celebratingWe were a party of 5 celebrating a birthday. When we arrived, we were promptly seated at a great table with a view of the lake. Our waiter was patient (5 women) and friendly without being too familiar. The food was really good. Two of us went with the Prix Fixe meal and we were very pleased. I opted for the NY strip steak, which was wonderfully seasoned and cooked perfectly. The other meals chosen were the rack lamb chops, the pasta with Lobster sauce and the Divers scallops. Everything was delicious and the portions were very generous. We will definitely go back there.4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThe prix fixe lunch is basicallyThe prix fixe lunch is basically the same each time I go but the food is always very good (I especially like the garlic shrimp appetizer and the organic salmon main course). The service is excellent. My three friends and I celebrate our birthdays there and we have all gone at other times also.. The prix fixe price is good for what is offered except I think adding $4.00 for a tea bag is a bit much. The only downside is that the noise level is very loud when fully occupied.4/24/2013 12:00:00 AMEXCELLENT FOOD AND SERVICEMarino gave us great service. He was professional, kind, attentive, and friendly. When I called him he was there in a quick flash with a smile on his face. The food was excellent and all of your staff from the parking attendant to the person who poured the water was excellent. You have a great staff. There is only one little comment. I wish your wine list had more choice of slections. Great restaurant. My friends are also going to come there. Hats off to Water and Wine. And Marino4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMA Lovely Dining ExperienceThis was one of the best dining experiences we have had in a very long time. So glad we chose it to celebrate my dad's milestone birthday. All four of us opted for the prix fix menu and it was OUTSTANDING. My mom said it was the best salmon she has ever had and my husband enjoyed his short ribs very much. My appetizer, stuffed mushrooms, was great. It was enough for a meal! Our server was charming, witty and friendly. They remembered it was my dad's birthday (many places would have forgotten) and when dessert was served, they included a candle, good wishes and more conversation. We ordered a bottle of wine at a reasonable price plus my dad said his Beefeater martini was perfect and generous. Will definitely return!! GREAT!4/21/2013 12:00:00 AMThe food was delicious! TheThe food was delicious! The service was great. If I had to find something to complain about, would be that there was a big party, which was kind of loud. Also, was a little warm in the room but once we addressed it to our Waiter, it was more comfortable.
2nd time there, will definately be returning.4/14/2013 12:00:00 AMAmazing dinnerWhat an amazing restaurant, it's located right on the river so you can enjoy your meal with a view of the water. The food was delicious and the service was excellent, we will definately be going back4/11/2013 12:00:00 AMFood is wonderful, with aFood is wonderful, with a diverse menu. Service is impeccable and the view at night is great.4/9/2013 12:00:00 AMi have been here several timesi have been here several times before and found that i did not enjoy much on the menu except for steamed or fra diavalo lobster. i was so pleasantly surprised this time. first of all they renovated the restaurant since i was last there and it looks so much better. coincidentally they did not have lobster, i was told due to the season the prices had gone too high. that initial disappointment quickly subsided as i tasted each dish that came to the table. my wife and i both had a salad with grilled eggplant and zucchini in it, really delicious. my scallops with farro were prepared perfectly, my friend's pasta was also really good. item's from the raw bar were fresh and served perfectly. i cannot wait to go back.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMFirst time here, very niceFirst time here, very nice and lived up to all the hype and good reviews. Only drawback was that at 7pm on a Saturday night we were the youngest couple there. I guess this place is more for the older crowd which is fine but typically we like to be where the younger crowds good. However the food was very good, view of the reservoir was very nice as we got "the last table by the window" and service was outstanding.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMWhile the service was excellentWhile the service was excellent and the food very good, the decor was outdated and would have been better suited for a much less formal restaurant. The meal was very good with the exception of the scallops, which were overcooked. The waitress was also very friendly and knowledgable, which made for a very nice dining experience.4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat dining experience. FoodGreat dining experience.

The taste of the food to the presentation was fabulous!
Thank you.3/31/2013 12:00:00 AMEnjoy Lakeside DiningThis restaurant sits on the lake where the views from your table make for a special dining experience. The food is prepared well and served in a timely manner-not too rushed and timed just right. There are round tables for large parties and small tables that make it intimate for a party of two. The quality and selection of food and wine is exemplary. The prices resemble New York restaurant pricing, but the food is worth it and presented beautifully.3/29/2013 12:00:00 AMI had the seafood tower whichI had the seafood tower which was excellent.
