Watershed at the Owl

Such an amazing experience. This is the perfect place to replace the Owl and a great addition to Grass Valley. The food is comfortable but so exciting and new and I absolutely love the family idea for this. The flavors are on point and the atmosphere is perfect. Highly recommend!

Truly amazing food and service. The line caught salmon was perfection as was the flatiron and the watermelon cucumber salad. Belleville was incredible--she provided the best service we've had in years. Will return.

Great food, wonderful waitress, I think her name was Robin. I got the pulled pork my husband got the eggplant sandwich. Yummy

Wow! What a wonderful surprise to find such an incredible experience here in Grass Valley. This was our second time there and the Owner/Chef did not let us down. Every ingredient was perfectly curated, locally grown, and seasoned to perfection. The incredibly fresh, made from scratch, creative menu which is meant to be shared and coupled with their own crafted cocktails is the perfect backdrop for a long, lovely, and leisurely evening spent with friends and family over a extraordinary meal. The building itself plays a delightful character with lots of history, beautiful, comfy decor, and a gorgeous stone fireplace. it wouldn't be complete if the building didn't come with it's own ghosts and a few stories to round the evening out. Can't wait to come back!

We walked into an empty restaurant and were sat right away. The hostess was very nice and gave us some water. The waitress came by and grabbed our drink order and told us the sepicals. This took about 20 min for this interaction. The menu seems base a bit of a southern style, which it great and sounds delicious. It just seems a bit lacking of main dishes from the south. The shareable plate are good and have plenty. The spicy pecans are spicy and delicious. The meatball is huge and could be a meal itself. I would like to see it with more sauce or other toppings. The special was what we had, and it was delicious. The drinks where unique and you could tell they used homemade stuff. The menu of drinks is good, and the wine list is good too. The service was good and the whole process was slow going, which I like, and would be like a southern restaurant. Overall the experience was good, the food was good and the drinks where good. I would try it a least once. It great to see the Owl back and running again, but it does feel different.

Our party shared a few of the offerings of the new menu that just started last night when we were there. The Pea Shoot Salad was the best salad I have had in a very long time. The Roasted Peach Farro salad was yummy too. My niece had the meatball, it was a very good. Then we had the Crispy Prawns with with grits. The Prawns were great but the grits were not to our liking.(personal preference) OH, and the Lavendar cake was wonderful! Overall the dinner was a hit in our book. Make sure to stop in and try the new menu. We can't wait to try the other offerings they have. We truly enjoyed our dinner.

A year ago I had dinner with my friends here and thought it was a special place to eat dinner for my 60th birthday. A week before my birthday, I made a reservation for 7 pm for 5 people. We walked around Grass Valley and asked if we could eat at 6 instead of 7. They said no problem, but seated us in the bar area. I asked, if we could get a table on the other side. The waitress said that there is no space and not at 7 pm either. The seating on the red leather benches is for special occasion and that should be fun for us. The problem was, that I sat on an awkward chair and my family on the bench. I moved to the bench to feel included and it was quite tight and not festive at all. I felt disappointed that this happened on my special occasion. I made a reservation to sit on the other side and not cramped like that! The food was good, but I really couldn’t enjoy it.

I enjoyed my entire dining experience with Watershed at the Owl. Ambience of a booth in low lit bar with old world swag had me totally relaxed. Food was served hot and fresh. Breads and salads were delicious. Oysters in the half shell were especially fresh and crisp with flavor. Staff was friendly and not over bearing while you relaxed over cuisine.
