    FISH TACOS
    Amy P.

    We came here for a work-related event and had a great experience. The service was excellent, and we were seated on the covered rooftop, which had a really open and relaxed atmosphere. The food was fantastic, I especially enjoyed the fish tacos and the appetizers, including the honey old bay wings and crab egg rolls. My coworkers also loved their catfish sandwiches. Overall, it was a great spot for a group gathering.

    Came for brunch with a friend on the rooftop. We had to wait a bit to get our food but it was still delicious. I'd come back for the vibe; the music and rooftop add a nice ambiance.

    Solid Happy hour for sure..I love their mussels and wings. The crab dip gets an honorable mention for its consistency.

    I came here for a late lunch with my friend. I really enjoyed the flavor of all the food. The crab cake was our favorite part of the meal. Our server was super friendly as well!

    WATERSHED WINGS
    Mike J.

    Rooftop Seating is a little different. Meaning if you don't have enough to fill the whole table, another party can be sat next you. Customer service was very good. Rooftop is very nice with a huge bar. Mami and I slid over to catch the happy hour and were very pleased. We ordered the following: Pineapple crushes: 4/10 pass for us. Just aren't fans of any crushes really Drunk sailor noodles: 10/10 must try. How the egg was made surprised me. Very good Oysters x 12: 8/10 very fresh Watershed wings: 8/10 regular wings but good Fried chicken sliders: 6/10 plain and a little dry Mussels curry: 100/10 no typo. Truly the star of the meal. The sauce is incredible! Peeled shrimp: 6/10 good but not worth $10 Everything cost $75. Strongly recommend coming here for happy hour.

    Came here for happy hour and the vibes were good! Was on the rooftop and it was really nice up there on a late summer day. Bar was full but there were plenty of tables to be sat at. We ordered oysters ($1 each), chicken sliders, loaded fries, and drunken noodles. I didn't eat the oysters but my parents said they were decent. They did say it was on the smaller side, but for the price it was worth it. I will say all the other food was very bland. The drunken noodles just tasted like chicken broth. The sliders were a decent size and had sauce on them but also bland. Fries were pretty good! The cheese had some spice in it but fries themselves needed salt. I ended up adding salt to all my food. Would come back for oysters and happy hour drinks but not for food.

    Great service this go round. Went in on a game day and quickly were seated downstairs and able to order a few quick bites. Cool game day vibes in the fed hill-cross street market neighborhood. Give them a try! Family friendly

    Following all of our Day Partying at the game; we agreed to go get something to Eat and some other bears fans told us about this place. Nice atmosphere & even though it was packed...we managed to secure a table. We received decent service but the place was packed. Placed our orders and began to look forward to getting some vitos. The food was Delicious. I ordered the loaded crab fries and a burger. Overall experience...I will give five stars. Sorry but I don't think I took many pictures because we were all Hungry.

    Watershed is a great place to catch a game on the rooftop! The location in Cross Street Market is unbeatable. The food is pretty good for elevated bar food but I truly come for the crushes. The service is really fast for how busy it gets on game days. Overall, a can't miss drinking hole in Fed!

    I can't say enough good things about Water Shed! I've been to several Atlas restaurants and they never disappoint this one is no exception. The atmosphere is welcoming and has that perfect balance of laid-back yet elevated dining. The rooftop is a vibe! Live music, the bartenders are very attentive and super sweet! The oysters were so fresh, briny, and shucked to perfection. Easily some of the best I've had in the city. You can tell they really take pride in the quality of their seafood. Every dish we tried was delicious, and you could really taste the freshness of the ingredients. Atlas restaurants always impress me, but Water Shed has definitely become a new favorite. Can't wait to come back!

    CHEESESTEAK
    Jahaan T.

    Visited back in March before my friends and I went to the Millennium Tour. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was great! His oyster recommendation was spot and I enjoyed them. They were small like I like them and had a sweet finish. The crab dip was creamy and did not lack on crab. We shared the cheesesteak, which was good. Only complaint is that it could use a condiment. Once I asked for and added mayo, I was good to go!

So it cost me $10-15 to for a plastic takeout container. Had I not looked at the customer copy of the bill I would have not only not known but I would have tipped based on the total which already included the additional gratuity charge (which was not disclosed on the merchant copy). This is so unnecessary and ruined what would have been a good experience. They said it was a "sharing charge" which I have experienced and applies when u have another diner with you and u decide to split an entree. Had they disclosed I would at least had the option to finish the meal. The saying "stepping over dollars to pick up pennies " seems to apply as this left such a bad taste I doubt I will return despite the fact the crab cake was delicious and the loaded baked potato was average (hardly loaded) Beware of the hidden gratuity for take home leftovers!!! Update to above: I did follow up with Angie this morning and she was very kind and offered to credit back my card for the extra gratuity. She also explained that I was misled about the "sharing charge" but they do automatically add 15% gratuity regardless of party size or quality of service. So I would give 4 stars for the food quality and 1 star for the way in which they present and charge gratuity. Tipping should remain at the discretion of the diner based on service and food quality otherwise just get rid of tipping and raise your prices

I lived in Boston previously and Thames's lobster roll is BETTER than any I had there. It's my default order, but explore their specials when they catch my eye. I can also recommend thier scallops and fish. Their crab cakes are great as well; however, I reccomend getting other items here and crab cakes elsewhere if you're making multiple food stops in Bmore as there are equally good crab cakes at other places (Pappas, Faidleys, Nick's, Coco's etc.) but not equally good other dishes. I'm not an oyster guy, but they also have the best raw bar in town, and they have an in house dedicated pastry chef who makes desserts which are to die for if you save room.

The crab cakes were accompanied by a handful of greens, and heaping portions of the sides. The soup came with a handful of wrapped crackers - more than we knew what to do with! I preferred the lump crab cake, the sides were all good with the crisp cucumber salad and Cole slaw being pleasantly refreshing. The potato salad was the creamy sort. The shreds of crab was visibly evident in the veggie filled minestrone type soup, but not as evident in taste. It is always tough to get your fix of veggies on vacation, so I'd probably get the lump crab cake with cucumber salad and Cole slaw on another visit, or try one of their seasonal items.
