“The burger, pizza and ribs were spot on! I personally ordered the 3-piece ribs and I think the flavors in it worked so well 🫶🏽 The servers were very approachable and helpful in recommending dishes. If I could recomment anything or come back to SF I would definitely remember this place! So glad that I tried this place out with my partner and friends!”
“Love this spot. Seasonal soup + Paloma and I’m good to go. Bartender was friendly and quick, food + drink super tasty. The indoor/ outdoor seating vibe is earthy glam and I’m here for it.”
“We had a really nice lunch here. The vegetable platter was delicious and the grilled veggies were done to perfection. We also had french fries with dipping sauce, which were pretty good. And the broccoli with lemon was also quite delicious. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very friendly and accommodated our special drink requests. She had really good energy and we felt was the perfect amount of engaged yet giving us space. Overall, a pretty good experience.”
“Came to town on a bus tour, and Watershed stood out as the place to try. We walked in on a Thursday lunch and were seated immediately. Service was friendly, relaxed and efficient. One of us tried the Crab Roll and the other the Grilled Cheese (photo). We split each dish and enjoyed the combo. The Roll is fundamental - crab and herbs and simple dressing, so the crab is up front and personal - a solid choice. The Grilled Cheese with the pesto accent is a revelation, also highly recommended. The chips are well above average for the house-made version, we suggested the addition of onion dip. Ask for the side salad to be chopped if you don’t like large leafage. Nice drink offerings. We could have stayed all afternoon, but had to catch our bus. We’ll be back!”
“Ambiance was definitely the best part of this place. Cute location. Lots of little shops. Indoor and outdoor seating. The food was good but it is one of those places where if you have a slightly picky eater or maybe allergies you may need to modify your dish. My sister and I don’t think we’re very picky at all but we did take a minute or 2 to decide if we were actually going to order a meal or just an app. The service was mediocre at best. I genuinely want to always give everyone the benefit of the doubt but I would honestly not go out of my way to return. The hostess seemed clueless or didn’t care. Maybe she’s family or a friend and doesn’t care about how she presents herself to customers. Saw our waiter once. Had to flag him down to just give him our cards so we could pay and leave. Didn’t even bother asking for the check. Again maybe this was an off day but after reading the Yelp reviews it seems like many others had similar experiences which is a shame.”
