"Little Water will open its doors to the public in Rittenhouse (261 South 20th Street) and is a restaurant that ‘celebrates the ecological diversity of life by the sea.’ Owners Chef Randy Rucker and Amanda Rucker aim to serve a broader audience with an a la carte menu, offering contemporary coastal cuisine with sustainability and cultural inspiration. The restaurant features a bar for casual dining experiences and is designed with green and sustainable principles, focusing on natural light and biophilic design. Signature dishes include uni toast, caviar, oysters, peekytoe crab hash brown, and swordfish Milanese, with a full-service bar offering unique cocktails like the Orchard Daiquiri and Juice Box Negroni. Little Water emphasizes ice in its beverage preparation, underscoring its commitment to ingredient control and sustainability. The venue encourages frequent, casual visits." - Ernest Owens
