Wood & Water

Cool, calm, and cozy atmosphere. Bar seating and TVs available but doesn’t detract from those that desire a more intimate experience. Diverse menu. For an appetizer I tried Crispy Lobster Sliders and the Black Squid Ink Calamari. Both were crispy and flavorful. For my entree I had the Oven Roasted Seafood. It was packed with flavor (muscles, shrimp, calamari, garlic noodles, tomato base), was a bit on the salty side but had a decent spice level. My friend tried the Pork Chop which could have used more flavor . Mashed potatoes were cool. When I return, I’m definitely getting the sliders!

Been here twice so far ! I always get some oysters and the duck rolls , both make me so happy . Last time I got the halibut tacos and was drooling they were so good however my mom for the chicken and was so so with it however this is a seafood specialty restaurant so she was prepared . I got the banana fosters and was super impressed. It was my birthday and they gave us the coconut pie and it was out of this world. Wish I got a photo but we ate it too fast .

From the beginning, the hostess was very kind and attentive. The food was amazing. My husband isn't a fan of key lime pie but it was recommended by our waiter and we loved it!

10 out of 10 recommend. The food is amazing and not overpriced. The cocktails are delicious. The staff is great. The owner is really kind. I’ve been for a date, and another time I took my mom to a trivia night here. I can see this place becoming a Valley Staple. Don’t miss out.

Wood and Water in Sherman Oaks is an upscale American restaurant. They serve gourmet food at gourmet prices. If you can afford the price, this place is worth a visit. There's a bit of street parking, but you're likely to need the valet parking out front. When the restaurant is busy, which it was when I had dinner there, you'll need a reservation in order to get a table. It's also quite noisy inside. Fortunately for me, I have a noisy environment setting on my hearing aid app. Once I turned on that setting, it made the background noise less annoying. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, and he was efficient. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. I had a cheeseburger. You might think that doesn't sound like a gourmet dish, but it was way better than most cheeseburgers. I requested broccolini instead of fries. The broccolini was excellent. My future (I hope) son-in-law had fries. I tasted them. They were better than most fries, but not outstanding. One of the appetizers that we shared was lobster sliders. They were somewhat OK, but not amazing. For the price, I don't recommend them. The restaurant is at street level and has wheelchair accessible tables. If you're in Sherman Oaks and you want a gourmet American meal, Wood & Water is an excellent choice.

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.
