    Kale Caesar salad with Seared Salmon add-on
    Alexis G.

    I've passed Watershed Pub a million times and never stopped, so when I met a friend for lunch, it finally felt like the right time to check it out. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence (read: stalked the menu for a full week) and had a game plan. At the top of my list? The deviled eggs and the Kale Caesar salad with salmon. The only problem...I absolutely did not need $40 worth of food for lunch. So I quietly spent the week putting "deviled egg energy" out into the Universe, hoping my lunch partner would suggest splitting them. Manifestation is real, people. I arrived around 12pm and found plenty of parking out back in Watershed's designated lot, which is clearly labeled--a good thing, because parking in that area looks like it could get competitive if you're not paying attention. We had made a 12:15pm reservation (Monday lunch felt safe, but why risk it?), and our table on the enclosed patio was ready when we arrived. It was the perfect setup--sunny and bright, but still warm enough to be comfortable on a chilly day. The vibe was great, and our server was even better--friendly, attentive, and consistently checking in without being overbearing. Then it was time to order. I let my lunch partner go first and waited... "Do you want to try the deviled eggs as an appetizer?" Are you kidding me?!. YES. Yes, I did! We ordered the deviled eggs ($11) to share, and I followed through with my Kale Caesar salad ($15) topped with seared salmon (+$13), officially completing my week-long menu-stalking mission. The deviled eggs came out FAST, and in my excitement, I completely forgot to take a picture--which tells you everything you need to know. Each egg was topped with a cube of candied bacon that absolutely stole the show. Sweet, savory, and just the right texture to complement the creamy filling. We made quick work of all four--excellent start to the meal! Not long after, our lunches arrived, and my salad? Gorgeous. Like, actually exciting to look at. I dug in immediately and it delivered. The mix of shaved brussels sprouts, kale, and romaine gave it great texture, the dressing was well-balanced, and the red onion didn't overpower the rest of the flavors. But my favorite part? The garlic parmesan crouton crumble. No chasing rogue croutons around the plate--just perfectly distributed crunch in every bite. Genius! The portion size was generous, too--I made it through about half before calling it and boxing the rest for dinner later. By the time we were wrapping up, the enclosed patio had filled up significantly, which tells me this is a popular lunch spot--and for good reason. The food is solid, the atmosphere is great, and the service was spot on. That said...$40 for deviled eggs, a salad and water is a bit steep for an everyday lunch. For me, this feels more like a "treat yourself," client meeting, or special occasion kind of place rather than a regular rotation spot. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I be casually popping in every week? Probably not. But those deviled eggs? Totally worth manifesting!

    Exterior Walk Up

    Atmosphere and seating around the exterior is on point. Really nailed the interior and fixing. They did a great job with heaters outside and retracting canopy blinds to make the outdoor space work in large swaths of the year. The main challenge: the food on two orders was a real miss. The review for the Greek salad was that it was one of the worst tasting Greek salads my brother has ever had, despite the attempt at some flare with phyllo on top. My second salad was equally uninspired. We didn't bother with anything else admittedly so perhaps their salad game is just very very weak, or a bad day in the kitchen. Hard to say; but wouldn't be bothering with their food again compared to hunting around.

    Came back again for a lunch with a friend. We sat out on the porch and it was a very nice day. Nice thing was that there were fans outside in case it was too hot. They have a cute garden of flowers that hide the parking lot so it's super cute. Food came out pretty quickly. I had a burger and my friend had the noodles. My burger was amazing and the fries were just right. My friend's noodles were a little spicier than expected, but she enjoyed them thoroughly. Is a very peaceful and enjoyable lunch. Contemplated going down the street to Pennsylvania, bakery or next-door to cornerstone for a treat but we were a little too full. We'll definitely come back again next time.

    Soo good it's all gone!!

    Trying out a new place. Not our intention to go here tonight, but the place we were going to had an hour wait time. The food was good, however, I don't recommend their homemade potato chips. Maybe it was just a bad night, I don't know, but the chips came out very brown and tasted practically burnt. Wife had the pulled pork sandwich and I had the spicy chicken sandwich. They were good. We also had the truffle fries. They were ok at best. The entire truffle fry appetizer was just bits and pieces of fries and not a lot of regular fries. Might give the place another try at some point, but wouldn't recommend wasting your time. The place is also very loud. It seemed as if everyone felt the need the scream to communicate. Try this place and decide for yourself, but I won't be back anytime soon. Service was also kind of slow in our opinion.

    Thai Ramen

    First time back to the water shed pub in a while. Our Dinner Club decided to try something new and something local. We were not disappointed. We started out with a variety of appetizers - the deviled eggs, smoked hummus, harissa, honey, carrots, Trufle, Parmesan fries, and Karaage. Karaage- is crispy chicken thighs with Korean barbecue, pickled carrots, scallions, sesame seeds, cilantro, and buttermilk ranch. Hands-down, my favorite, but the harissa honey carrots came in right under that! We also tried a tomato pesto pizza. The crust was crispy, but some of the other appetizers had such great flavors that it didn't stand out. Some of the entrées that were ordered were the spicy chicken sandwich, smoked short rib, Thai, Ramen, harvest, ravioli, and honey walnut salmon. All got great reviews and were enjoyed. For desserts, the Mexican hot chocolate brownie stood out as did the different Fox Meadows ice creams. Our server was very attentive. We appreciated her, anticipating our needs. The upstairs area was a bit loud as we were seated next to the railing which looked over the first floor and across from the bar. We enjoyed our evening and hope to be back soon!

    Service was a little slow but it was a Sunday brunch rush kind of day. Food was amazing and very tasty. Drinks looked great but weren't strong.

    Well we are back. I just got back after a year deployed to Africa. This is our first time since grand opening night. The menu is completely different. No more turtle wings. Our server Jennifer was very nice. Nice cocktails and beers brewed by Millworks. Upstairs and downstairs bar. Seating inside and outside. We started with deviled eggs. Yum. I got a roast chicken thigh and it was very good. My wife got a burger. We also ordered the karaage. Really good. Finished with the earl grey cheesecake. It was ok. But I was full. Will go back.

    Watershed was actually pretty awesome. Picked this restaurant thinking it would just be basic and generic, but wow food was phenomenal. Beet salad didn't have many beets, but the dressing was delicious. Portobello sandwich had a wonderful Smokey taste that added to the flavor palette. Staff was friendly and Hannah was a great waitress. Definitely recommend this place, and will return when I visit again.

    Delicious Brunch! Make a reservation ahead of time if you want to sit outside. Beautiful deck area. We came in as a walk in and were seated immediately inside. Drinks and food were fantastic. Truffle fries a must order! Theres something on the menu for everyone. Parking lot next to the restaurant or street parking.

A summer morning where Mom drives you to McDonalds to enjoy the play place with all of your friends until lunch arrives. And today you're just old enough to get the "big boy" meal. A full burger, two patties, with cheese, pickles, lettuce, onion, and some magical sauce that will have you chasing the dragon for the rest of your life. I am overjoyed to get a sliver of that happiness back again. Thanks to the cook!

    I want to preface this with saying that this place used to be great. They had a seasonal menu…read more(still do) but almost anything you could order was really flavorful and yummy. We used to take the kids here, there was something for everybody and a fun atmosphere. Fast forward a few years and this place has really gone downhill. Three staff was all very young and seemed to be in a rush. OK - we can deal with that, although it wasn't even as crowded as usual on a Sunday night. We ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (which was listed under handhelds), with the "chilli mango coleslaw" option. We also had a pork belly sandwich and smash burger for our toddler. We weren't given an option to get that medium and wete told "it just comes one way" "because it's smashed". Other restaurants always ask you how you want your burgers even if it's listed as a smash but ok - I can also live with this. The last thing we ordered we a Buffalo chicken wedge salad to share. It ended up being our undoing for the evening and the straw that broke the camels back. The "Nashville" chicken sandwich was a greasy, thin slice of completely unseasoned chicken. It wasn't spicy like it said, it was pretty soft and soggy instead of crunchy, and was totally unsalted. It was worse than when I was doing no salt from a high bp diet post partum. :( the bread fell apart and was sopping wet... I guess from some pickles and lettuce on the bottom of the sandwich? It was anything but handheld and so I ended up just scraping what chicken off I could and leaving the rest. My "chili mango" coleslaw had no mango, no spice, and was just regular plain, unsalted cole slaw. I recieved 2 teaspoons of this in a plastic cup on the side and regretted not ordering the fries instead, which looked to be a good portion size on my husbands entreé. My food order was terrible overall. 0/10 My husband said he liked his sandwich. The fries were a 6/10 because they were crunchy but they were cold. Our kids menu smash burger was all grease, and came well done. Our kid ate a few fries and they were less greasy. 3/10 The worst part of the meal was the salad... The Buffalo chicken was tasty, but the whole salad was onions and sopping in dressing. We then found a black molded rotten tomato and honestly we were sick to our stomachs after that. Like I was insisting the salad at that point and ended up finding that but what else did we already eat that was just totally rotten ?? 2/10 only for the chicken salvaging the flavor for this dish. When we told the waitress that this was distressing, like we came out to get our of the house with our baby and this was the meal (so disappointing) she did not automatically offer to take the rotten salad off the bill. We asked her to please remove it, and to her credit she did so after putting us in an awkward position to have to ask at all. We liked that this place supports local artists. For that, 2 stars For these reasons though above we will not be back here for dinner. Sorry Evergrain, we will miss you!

The reason I haven't been going for the past three years is that the last time we ordered a Reuben, it was the most disgusting sandwich I'd ever received.

Two weeks ago, it was undercooked and cold in the middle. The more well-done pieces I was able to eat, but the little pieces I could not. The following week, we decided to try the newly opened section on the corner inside the old Arooga's. Two bartenders working, the bar was not that busy but one of the bartenders closest to us didn't even acknowledge or let us know that she'd be right with us. It took the other very attentive and excellent bartender at the other end of the bar to notice my eyes looking around for some help when she came over to take care of us. She was great! The petite blonde was absolutely the worst and I wish I knew her name so I could call her out in this review. I used to love this place and my previous review is five stars. It's definitely not the same as it was before so I'm not sure we will be visiting this establishment again.
