This restaurant is in a beautiful setting. The tri-tip sandwich was very good, we were sharing it the waiter had it split for us in the kitchen. One comment I have is that the table in front of us was full of dirty dishes from the time we sat down until just before we left. Many times various serving staff walked by empty handed and didn't bother to pick up a dish. Given the setting, staring at a dirty table wasn't very appealing.

Excellent environment! It's unique which makes it a winner for special eVents. The people are great, easy to coordinate with, the adult beverages were cold and the food wasn't bad. I'd consider having another Er event in the future, after we get rid of covid-19. We placed our order and not too long after our dinner came.

Beautiful lakeside setting for my sister's wedding reception. Had been here with my fiance long ago as Chart House - great food, lovely view, always a pleasant experience.

Website doesn’t exist, phone number disconnected. Out of business for good. Won’t be missed.

Horrible food and very expensive.... service was horrible. It was a party of 6 and we were asked why didn't we RSVP earlier....

There were two of us and we got there around 5:30 pm. There were only a few other people there already and we ended up with very solicitous and speedy service. The cheese curds appetizer was tasty, and the dinners we got (southwestern meatloaf and chicken parmesan) were both tasty and large enough to take home a whole second dinner. The view of the sunset over the lake was very pretty. I would definitely come here again.

We held our wedding reception here at the end of 2019. It was an absolutely amazing experience from planning to execution, and even after our wedding Shar still treated us like family! We rented the boat and our guests loved it. We've always like the food at the restaurant, but the catering used for weddings was phenomenal! Guests couldn't quit talking about how good the appetizers, steak, and salmon were! Shar is really great to work with, and we highly recommend having events at the Watershed!

Brunch servings were big enough to split. We didn't know this and took half of the food home with us! On Saturday there was a free boat ride that was enjoyable! The staff was all very friendly. Food is pricey but delicious! It's a spot to bring visiting family and friends as it has a touristy vibe. Because of the price it's not not something I'd do more often than that.

Food is okay but overpriced. Bathroom unclean. "Regular Crowd" is awful. Service is understaffed.

BAD Service, what a disappointment as the place is beautiful! No hostess to sit us, finally bar attendant helped us then we wait 15 min no waitress to come to the table so we had to leave.

Been twice since my first review and I will not be back. Food was overpriced and tasted terrible. Drinks were not made right and the servers are all very young and inexperienced. They are very polite but you feel like you have to tell them what needs to be done, can we have menus, water, condiments, refills etc. Too bad, this is such an amazing location. Maybe someone will buy it and take advantage of the opportunity.

Recently hosted a private event at The Watershed and was thoroughly satisfied. Sharmayne was very helpful in the planning/coordination. The day of went smoothly - tables were setup on the outdoor patio, buffet was ready to go, staff was helpful in instructing our guests, etc. Everything went according to plan and our guests were thoroughly satisfied. Also, it should be noted that Watershed is in a primo location; plenty of parking, tucked away in a neighborhood, and gorgeous lake front views. Would definitely host future events at Watershed. Thank you Sharmayne!
