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.
Most excellent experience and food was perfect. We had the duck eggrolls and the ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as starters, both had a delish specialty drink. I had the house burger with 3 different meats ground in including wagyu. Was done perfectly med rare. No room for dessert this time. Will def go back. Service was nice, we sat at the bar. All in all a great experience.
