"We went for Easter brunch with a group of 6. The buffet was expansive, the food was excellent and the service was pleasant. WS isn't usually open for brunch and it appears that they didn't promote this change for Easter. The restaraunt was quiet and seemed to be mostly populated by hotel guests. It was very enjoyable for our family but likely not representative of the typical meal there."

"A great find in the NoMa neighborhood, where I work. I regularly head here for happy hour. Originally, we came here because it was the only place within a 5 block radius for happy hour. Now, we happily head there for the happy hour drink and food specials (everything on the menu is good). The bartenders are great, too. I've just recently tried them for lunch. The cobb salad with mussels is wonderful!"

"The hidden gem of NoMa. May be discovered soon -- quietly hidden in the Hilton Garden Inn - no real street sign presence, easily passed by - have to be looking for it. Excellent food, nice decor, competent attentive (but not too) service. Was there for weekday lunch (loved their excellent version of a Cobb salad). Companion enjoyed turkey sandwich except for massive bread/roll. Definitely want to explore more of the appealing menu. Not expansive, but appears to have intriguing combinations. Work in the neighborhood and hope to be a regular."

"We had a wonderful experience at Watershed. We requested some special dietary considerations and they were granted thoughtfully and graciously by the staff. The food was prepared pefectly, hot, and in wonderful time. We highly recommend Watershed."

"On the basis of a suggestion from a friend and convenient location, I tried Todd Gray's with my family — what a mistake. The gumbo that my sister and her fiance ordered as an appetizer was a healthy portion, but when it tastes as bland as it did they would have preferred less of it. The waitress proceeded to ask my sister's fiance about a substitution for a dish AFTER it was made (unless they can cook pasta in 2 minutes!) and of the 5 entrees we ordered, the only positive was the shrimp and andouille sausage dish. Poor service, mediocre food (at best) and an ambiance that clashed completely with the character of both. I'd suggest the Roti next door over Todd Gray's; better tasting food for half the price."

"I had a chicken caesar salad which was very delicious. It was crisp, fresh, and plenty. However, my luncheon guest had a chicken salad which actually looked very good. Though I enjoyed my salad, I wish I had gotten the chicken salad which I will select on my next visit. The young lady who waited on us was very professional and attentive. It was a pleasant luncheon experience."

"I'll keep it short - it was a lunch outing with the office. They accommodated our group of seven, but seemed to struggle with figuring out who would be our waiter. Half of the group got water, the other half did after several requests. Service was a bit slow, but the food was really excellent."

"Food is always excellent. Restaurant week was phenomenal. I want to go everyday just to try all the menu items. You wouldn't think mussels would work in a Cobb salad but that is my favorite lunch item."

"Been wanting to try for a while. very poor execution. Deviled eggs served REFRIGERATOR COLD (so no taste); 2 of 3 other dishes - mushroom corstini and fish sandwich - far too unwiedly to eat (other diners having problems too). Constructed in a way that was messy and made no sense. The flavor combo of the fish sandwich was the only really commendable thing on the whole meal. Gumbo bland and unexciting."

"This was the second time that I went for a business dinner. It was great. There was enough energy to be appealing without it being so noisy that you couldn't hear each other talk. The food was great both times. My guests were very pleased."
