Philadelphia, PA - Husband-and-wife culinary duo Randy and Amanda Rucker are set to open their newest restaurant, Little Water, in Philadelphia's Rittenhouse Square. Known for their acclaimed South Philadelphia establishment, River Twice, the Ruckers are bringing their passion for sustainable, regionally inspired cuisine to a new "contemporary coastal" concept.
Little Water takes over the former Twenty Manning space at 261 S 20th Street. Diners can expect an intimate experience, with dinner service offered Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 10 p.m. The menu will showcase the Ruckers' culinary journeys along the Gulf Coast, New England, and Mid-Atlantic, highlighting the diverse flavors and ingredients of each region.
While River Twice focuses on the bounty of the Mid-Atlantic, Little Water expands that vision to encompass the broader coastal experience. The couple is excited to share the dynamic ecosystem of tranquil marshes, expansive bays, and secluded coves with our guests. "The menu will echo the coastal spirit in a warm and lively atmosphere."
The restaurant is slated for a mid-October preview dinner, with a public opening anticipated by the end of the month.
