Wood Water - Sherman Oaks

Our entrees and cocktails were okay. I had the gnocchi, but the sauce was somewhat sour and overly liquidy, especially given that it was advertised as a ricotta cream sauce. My partner had the fried chicken, which was a generous portion and quite tasty. The atmosphere was really loud and busy, which seemed to stress out the servers. As a result, we barely saw our server and waited quite a while for water. Everything felt a bit tense and frantic. I would be open to giving Wood Water another chance to see if our experience was an anomaly. However, I don't believe that a busy night should heavily compromise food quality like that.

We dined with friends at Wood Water last night (Saturday). The ambiance was modern, upscale, and enjoyable. Service was great--the hostess was very friendly and our waitress was super attentive and friendly.We were not very impressed by the food. It's a creative menu but the taste was not that great. With that said-ingredients were high quality -we just did not appreciate the flavor of any of our dishes.

Was looking for a place to take the MIL for a relaxing dinner in the valley, amazingly she hadn't been here! Loved the decor and ambiance, really set the perfect mood and felt like a getaway. We ordered the octopus and spicy tuna appetizer, both a good size portion. The MIL doesn't usually like spicy but she thought it was perfectly spiced. The octopus was tender, and the croquettes were pillowy goodness! Our server suggested the mezcal cocktail for me, I wouldn't have ordered it since I usually like more spirit forward but it was refreshing and delicious! The only complaint was that my pork chop was overcooked, more medium well than medium but still good enough. Overall, a pleasant experience, good service ambiance and food.

Very nice but pricey restaurant, good atmosphere, nice staff. Food was really good although the lamb was not medium rare as we ordered. It was more like well done. Sea bass was very good and the dark chocolate matcha cake is amazing. I used Google maps to make a reservation and they could not find it which was embarrassing. This is not the first time this happened with different restaurants after reserving on Google maps so be sure to call them directly.

Snagged a last minute reservation here to participate in dine LA week. We got two orders of the pre fixe menu and shared everything. I recommend the winners as the old fashioned, cauliflower duo (even though my partner didn't like it), beef Wellington and chocolate matcha. Overall, Chris was great. We had a lovely Saturday date night here! I didn't love the honey polenta cake (even though I really wanted to)!
