on Citysearch Oct 05, 2009We happened to be in the area and went as long time Indigo Girls fans. That said, I just can't say enough good about the food and service! Even the space - a funky old converted garage- is adorable! Our waiter was... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 06, 2009To say that I was a Watershed fan would be an understatement. I dined at Watershed the first week it was open. It was the "go to" occasion restaurant for us - for out of town guests, gift certificates for teachers and... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 06, 2008The food here is delicious and unbelievable. The seafood is very fresh and the daily specials are great. The way the place is setup is a tribute to times past in Atlanta. There are a lot of old news clippings. It is also in... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 22, 2008Watershed is one of those restaurants that at once seems impressive, but after leaving, you're always wanting for more. And it's generally difficult to put a finger on exactly what is wrong. Generally speaking, the... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 17, 2008My husband and I dined at Watershed last night for our anniversary. We had a reservation at 7:30 pm. We found a parking place right up front. Our waiter was a pure joy. He was very happy and helpful. I would ask for his... (more)

on Citysearch May 28, 2008I had been to Watershed one other time and it was okay (service was slow) but I was willing to give it another try. I had some friends in town from LA and I was excited to take them to a southern restaurant so I thought... (more)

on Citysearch May 14, 2008I have been to the Watershed a couple of times, both around lunch time. The food is good, but it seems like you have to order everything separately. The portion size is good, but the prices are a little high for lunch.... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 25, 2008This place comes with so much hype. We came in for a romantic dinner which was a good thing - since we had to practically sit in one another's lap to make conversation. It was incredibly loud that even our waitress... (more)

on Citysearch Apr 16, 2008I recently ate at Watershed - the food was OK - it certainly wasn't the best I have had, by far. The desserts were pretty awful to be truthful. The wine was great and the service was nice. Generally though it was way over... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 10, 2008Both the Food Channel and the AJC highly recommended this restaurant. However, for me, the experience left much to be desired. We found the decor to be plain and the lighting was much too dark; two of our dinner guests... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 26, 2007I went to Watershed for brunch w/ friends after a bachelorette party & the food was delicious. They quoted a 30-min wait on a Sunday morning, but it only ended up being 10 min. Our waiter was funny & attentive. I had the... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 17, 2007Recently tried this place and enjoyed the food but I can't say it was the best I've ever had. After hearing about the chef I really expected to be wowed. Also avoid the desserts. They are overpriced for what you get. I... (more)

on Citysearch Jul 09, 2007Wow. After all the hype and press the Chef Peacock gets, I really thought the food would be better than this. I have been three times and I won't be going back. The only reason I went the third time is to have "the best fried... (more)

on Citysearch Oct 16, 2006The positive reviews of this place are mystifying. The decor is disjointed at best with a strange hospital-color theme, and has no place in a former garage that faces a parking lot and busy street, complete with... (more)

on Citysearch Aug 04, 2006Some of these reviews must have been written by jealous competitors or backwoods yokels. Hip and trendy spot should not be confused with its "gas station" heritage. OUTSTANDING FOOD and reasonable service... (more)
