    Open Table allowed us to make a reservation and when we arrived the doors were locked and the restaurant was dark and empty. We went to a nearby restaurant and were told that Watershed had been closed for over a month!

    So, the restaurant closed apparently in December. Yet I was still allowed to make a reservation for dinner. Let just say I was very embarrassed when I tried to open the door and it was locked.

    My problem is not with the restaurant; it is with OpenTable. I arrived to Watershed having made a reservation several days before with a party of 8 professional colleagues to find the restaurant closed. Why did OpenTable not tell me about this? It was embarrassing to have to scramble to find an laternative and made the evening quite awkward. What happened?

    It was a Tuesday night, so maybe things were off. Food was EXCELLENT. They were out of the first 2 wines we ordered off the wine list. It was empty and the TV was playing kind of loud, so had a sports bar kind of feel. Just not the same as it was in times past. Again - the food was OUTSTANDING.

    We had a reservation for 6 to celebrate a special occasion last Wednesday at 6:45pm. When we showed up, the restaurant was closed for business. Our reservation had been confirmed and we never received any notice about Watershed not being open on Wednesday. Very disappointing.

    Menu is ala carte. With chicken you get biscuits only. What is this - Bojangles? Bartender had to dig up recipe for a mai tai throwing the first one out. Drinks were very weak. Reservations were silly. One couple there at 6:45. I think we can sit anywhere. Employees all on their phones. Typical of people under 35.

    If you haven't dined at Watershed on Peachtree, you are missing out! -- Best fresh redfish I have had in a while and its preparation was excellent! The chef and his team are outstanding and the wait staff was excellent. Restaurant access is easy and their menu although not extensive has something for everyone's palate -- Basically, you can't go wrong dining at this establishment -

    2 people for breakfast brunch was like $80 Too much for breakfast food. Should of went to egg harbor. Plus they wouldn’t sell us any t-shirts. My friend Beas visiting loves the the indigo girls and was sad the manager denied us to buy a t shirt. Oh. Well. Lesson learned.

    The fried chicken is one of the best we’ve had! And the burger was wonderful. Hard to take kids though since there’s no kids menu and things tend to be on the spicy side. But the service this time was outstanding!! We had a waiter that we had 10 years ago in the old Decatur Watershed. So that says a lot about their staff.

    The food was just ok. Feels like you’re trying too hard. Odd ingredients in several dishes that felt superfluous and not successful overall. The smallest martinis I’ve ever seen. Our server was lovely.

    Disappointing, top to bottom. Best thing was the girl that met us at the door. It used to be a tough place to get a reservation, now at least half empty. Brunch menu lacking, food was the same quality as IHOP. Orange juice from Publix. After having brunch at Miller Union yesterday with fresh squeezed juices and an inventive menu, this was disappointing. Used to be one of our favorite restaurants. Will pass next time.

    We were really disappointed in our first trip to Watershed. The venue is lovely but on a Friday night it was almost empty. The food was a disappointment as was the indifferent service. My husband’s fish did not taste fresh and should have been hotter. My octopus was very mediocre. We won’t go back.

    Watershed in Decatur was known as a great cool go to Southern hotspot. Brunch, biscuits and Sunday cocktails were always worth the wait. Buckhead Watershed is a flop. Only 8 customers when we arrived. Despite this we had poor service, cold biscuits, and marginal meals. Fried chicken at KFC is better!!! Beautiful venue and location but time to close!!!!

    Currently one of the best restaurants in Atlanta. If you have not been to the NEW Watershed since Chef Matt took over you need to run, not walk, there. The food is so very inventive. It's a surprise every time you go.

    Fantastic food, very pretty room, terrible parking. This was a business lunch and this place is dead before noon. Empty room with AMAZING food. Really, this was a solid meal. Great service as well. Parking signage is miserable as it is in so many of these "we rent in this giant building" places, and there is no valet at lunch. Did I mention the food was fantastic. And the service? Great!!! Parking stinks. Wonderful cocktails and bar service, I can personally recommend the Southern Chicken Monte-Christo and the Brussel Sprouts Appetizer is worth coming back for all by itself. Serious good stuff. But the parking sucks. SUCKS. No signage so my guests were BOTH lost, and no valet at lunch.

    The food was great and the drinks were great, however, our first waitress was honestly the least friendly and most condescending waitress I've ever had. Our second waiter (not sure what happened to the waitress) was friendly enough.
