Shrutika SachdevOctober 4, 2015Casual Fine Dining with cool roof lights - priced well for portions, great take on fusion dishes but awkward service - Menu constantly changing but don't miss any course - amazing desserts!
EaterJanuary 6, 2014Water & Wall is Tim Ma's second restaurant, and it's bigger and dressier. Look for dishes like an Asian-influenced shrimp and grits, a Burmese bouillabaisse, and creme fraiche-spiked chicken wings.
Allison AbbottSeptember 30, 2015Amazing cocktails (loved the take on the Moscow Mule), and entrees were heavenly. Split the Duck and the Pork Belly with your date; you will get the best of both worlds! Slow service, though
Washington PostMarch 6, 2014The duck confit is made with a contemporary twist on the classic French preparation. The bird is cured for a day with floral juniper berries. Read more
Dwayne TraylorFebruary 15, 2014Can't go wrong w/ shrimp & grits or duck confit; pecan short bread and/or chocolate bread pudding w/ French press coffee for dessert.
Leandro LageraMay 28, 2016One of my favs. I'm officially a Tim Ma groupie. The breakfast dish with spam is simply fantastic.- Allison AbbottJune 29, 2016Second time visiting, while the food and cocktails were still pretty great, the service is SO SLOW that it impacts how much you can enjoy the experience. Leave 3 hours for 3 courses.
Paul SicariNovember 23, 2013Great spinoff of the amazing Maple Avenue Restaurant. Menu is as interesting, fresh and delicious.
Sit at the bar. Great service and much more opportunity for samples from the interesting wine list.
Patrick PhoJuly 19, 2015"A mountain of fried chicken served on a bed of Cajun-seasoned, chicken-sausage-spiked dirty rice won a rave — and then a return visit..." -WaPo
Nadia ChilmonikMarch 5, 2015Food was good, service was awkward and the environment and decisions were borderline hotel lobby
