Watershed

Visited back in March before my friends and I went to the Millennium Tour. I wish I could remember our server’s name because he was great! His oyster recommendation was spot and I enjoyed them. They were small like I like them and had a sweet finish. The crab dip was creamy and did not lack on crab. We shared the cheesesteak, which was good. Only complaint is that it could use a condiment. Once I asked for and added mayo, I was good to go!

First time experience eating crabs was excellent, especially for our 8 year old, she really enjoyed the experience. Damien was very nice and guided us how to actually open and find the good stuff of the crabs. We also had stuffed lobster, which was amazing, much easier to eat, than crabs. Anyhow I have only great things to say about Watershed.

We dined in on a Friday night, reservations for 4 and were seated right away. The atmosphere was much expected for rooftop seating ( DJ was wack) The menus was limited due to the kitchen closing at 10pm. We ordered almost every appetizer on the menu, the wings were the best of all. I ordered the stuffed lobster with broccolini and potatoes and the flavor was very lacking I didn’t even take two bites of the sides. The salads were delicious . Our waiter was Del and he was absolutely amazing! He made us feel like he was only there for us lol very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu choices. We went for crabs however they only serve them up until a certain time (bummer). Parking was very limited but that was expected due to the area, I parked in the garage one block away for $11 ( 2 hours & 10 minutes).

When you're providing a service to customers, I feel you should give a disclaimer to what you have & dnt have. Not to wait until a person orders, then say we dnt have this, which leads to me picking several more items to be told, you dnt have that either . The atmosphere was amazing though.

Great vibes, good food, great location. Watershed provides a nicer vibe to the federal hill area. Large restaurant with plenty of food and drink options. Great place for a nice sit down meal or place to catch the games. They have a huge bar. Overall good spot. Adding on to prior post as I visited and had crabs and they were delicious and heavy. Just be mindful that they charge you $2 for each butter

Kay provided great service. Oysters were good, and the mussels were a little salty. The Bloody Maria was okay. Wasn’t able to sit on the rooftop because it was full. Music indoors was a little loud.

absolutely amazing. beautiful place, very pleasant service. but most of all the food. I had crab cream and it was a luxury. fried oysters were ok. And shrimp in local spices and butter again great. the price for all this is acceptable. I really enjoyed it.

The food was very very good. There was a bartender ( large fellow) that was very enjoyable to talk to and they let us order only 5 minutes before the kitchen closed which was nice. We were sitting at the bar and conversation with the bar tender having a good time.

Visited this past Sunday around 3pm. The hostess are extremely lazy and not very polite or mindful regarding seating selections for parties. The restaurant was 50% full. We requested a booth (4 were empty but only 2 clean) the hostess just stood there and stared at us when we asked if she could clean off the preferred table so that was slightly off putting. However once we were seated and greeted (took about 15mins) things improved. Tasty/fresh oysters, the crab dip was good and the eggrolls even better! Overall enjoyed the food and drinks (though the old fashioned ordered was extremely watered down)

We made a reservation for 9:00 pm (restaurant is open until 11:00 pm). About 15-minutes later I received a call from the restaurant telling me that at 9:45 pm, the fresh fish menu would not be available. We were already in route but didn't see a problem with ordering well before 9:45 pm since we would be there by 9:00 pm. We arrived and we were seated. Five minutes went by, then 10 minutes went by, and after a 15 minute wait, still no waitress came by to take our drink order. We figured out that the waitress was ignoring us on purpose so we would leave, which we did. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING TO THIS RESTAURANT. I'm sure the owner would want to know how their employees are not serving potential customers.

2nd stop on Thursday night. We walked upstairs and found bar seating. Got some drinks. Music was good. Area was a rooftop that overlooked the intersection. This was a vibe There was also a large downstairs for indoor seating.

Visited back in March before my friends and I went to the Millennium Tour. I wish I could remember our server's name because he was great! His oyster recommendation was spot and I enjoyed them. They were small like I like them and had a sweet finish. The crab dip was creamy and did not lack on crab. We shared the cheesesteak, which was good. Only complaint is that it could use a condiment.

Watershed is a great place to catch a game on the rooftop! The location in Cross Street Market is unbeatable. The food is pretty good for elevated bar food but I truly come for the crushes. The service is really fast for how busy it gets on game days. Overall, a can't miss drinking hole in Fed!

Oysters oysters and more oysters. The shrimp were HUGE and the flavor was 10/10. Came with a group and we were able to enjoy the patio.

Had the absolute best time at the rooftop bar. Drinks were on point, oysters were the bomb and the service was top tier. I will be back!!

Listen, I went to Watershed with my significant other, and it was everything, and something's not needed, lol. A very big shout-out to bartender Zay--he'll never get the chance to have us walking sideways again! We sat at the bar, and Zay was prompt and wonderful. He was so daggone friendly that we told him we trusted him to make whatever drink he would like. That was a mistake; don't be like us, but better. Zay made the best cinnamon dulce espresso I've ever had, and he made my date a cinnamon old-fashioned. He was in a cinnamon mood! We flagged him down after he gave us our drinks because we needed "bread." Our food came out maybe 10 minutes after placing the order. He then made me another espresso, and at this point, I asked him if he wanted me to sing at his wedding. My date sipped his drink (it was very strong); he was told to let the ice melt, and it was his bad. We made a friend thanks to Zay, as I'm a regular and had never seen him before. The young lady next to us shared the same sentiments; she was buzzed and scoffing down an amazing Cobb salad and bread. She offered to break bread with us because we all needed it. If you happen to go, please ask for Zay. This was truly an amazing time! We went home midday and took the best drunk nap, then woke up cursing Zay!

Food can be a bit overly priced, women are pretty but not interested. Service was okay and tha abiance was cool.

Ok so let's get into this. Wait time wasn't bad. We went downstairs because it was hot. The host accommodated us by sitting us far from the door so we wouldn't feel warm breeze when door opens. The waiter was as amazing, very knowledgeable of everything. Oysters were described perfectly in the menu, I tried the sweetest ones, very good. We only ordered appetizers but they were good and quick. Only item I was confused about was the blacken tuna, how are you supposed the eat it and how is it sharable? It's layered like a sandwich and wonton gets saw-gee from sitting in liquid. Was very tasteful but definitely not meant to share.

Very consistent food quality and service every time I go. We got crushes, crab egg roll, and crab loaded fries. Everything was delicious and very fresh. I was surprised by how much crab was on the fries and how loaded they were. The bartender who served us was very kind as well.

My friends went to Watershed over the weekend to celebrate a birthday. Inside is really nice, cozy, well light. It's attached to the market, I was able to leave and go to a stall really quickly at return. I ordered a Margherita and the 1/2 fried chicken Nashville hot. It was really delicious and the portion was giant, I can't imagine buying a whole chicken. The truffle fries were delicious and drink was good. The menu was very simple and small, it could use some additions. And the bartender was not the most experienced because my friends drinks weren't correct and wasn't that great. But I did have a good time.

We had a nice time here. Restaurant was clean, service was pretty good though it was a little slow. There's also the option to sit downstairs (inside) or upstairs (outside). The food was pretty good. My favorite parts were my cream of crab soup and the truffle fries. The crab cake was alright. Nothing too special there. Good portions on the food. I would go back and try something different

I think I just had my dream girl dinner combination at @watershedbaltimore in federal hill, baltimore, md by @atlasrestaurantgroup feat. Blackened Tuna Bites // ahi tuna, whipped avocado, citrus soy sauce, seaweed salad, crispy wonton Crispy Calamari // jalapeño, lemon, parsley, fra diavolo Caesar Salad // mancnedo cheese, croutons. tomato, creamy black pepper emulsion + shrimp elite trio of classic maryland seafood house plates in my books

Very strange experience...2 appetisers and 7 main course. Just one main course came first......the appetisers never came!!! Strange service...

We had lunch - love that you can sit outside and let friendly. We started with the blue crab egg rolls - My niece likes them but I wouldn't order again. She also got the cream of crab soup. For our entree, I had the Eastern shore cob. I was the perfect combination of crab, avocado and fried oysters. My niece always gets their fish tacos. The show stopper was the best chocolate crème brûlée I have ever had. I told the waiter to recommend it to all of his tables!!

This was a solid 6/10 experience. Nothing too crazy but a good place to eat at for a casual dinner date with friends or a significant other. The ambiance and service is pretty good and chill as well, I remember a manage at one point came to my table and greeted my friend and I just because. Very nice touch. The food was good, I wished for a little more seasoning and condiments for the burger, and seasoning for the fries, but it was all cooked very well nonetheless! The best part was definitely the chocolate cake. Don't know if it was made in-house or not but it was very moist and rich. Quality chocolate I'd say. Overall a nice experience!

Enjoyed Happy Hour at Watershed with a friend this past Tuesday. Happy hour is Monday-Friday from 3-6PM. We got their $8 crushes and had one of each flavor: grapefruit, lemon, orange, & lime. We had the $8 mussels which were delicious! We also got an order of crab-dip and a steamer plate once happy hour was over. The bartenders were friendly and attentive. We enjoyed everything on their rooftop bar which was perfect for the beautiful weather we have been having.

Cam here for a quick met up. The location is cool just finding parking can take some time. Very much giving sports bar and grill, date night vibes. We went late like 10ish, it wasn't overly crowded, but we sat at the bar. It's a nice size space with a huge bar. The drinks were good and the food was also good. The service was quick and friendly. I do recommend!

BEASTED! A great spot for happy hour. We sat upstairs which was somewhat of an open concept with nice outdoor seating. My buddy grabbed a few oysters and a cup of soup which he enjoyed. I got the Fried Shrimp Po Boy and was very pleased with how large of a portion it was. Pretty good deal for $19. Staff was all very kind and helpful. Would return!

Dined at this restaurant for the first time and I can't say it wowed me but I'm sure I'll eat here again. I'm sure the next time I'll probably Uber seeing how it was super hard to find parking especially on a Saturday evening. I really liked the sports bar feel with the big screen TVs. Our server was Brandon, who was friendly and professional but maybe a little overwhelmed with the number of patrons whom he was responsible for. The drinks- I ususally drink classic margaritas but of late I've been loving the taste of a Bluberry Lemon Drop. Watershed didn't have that but I tried a Raspberry one- it was underwhelming. My husband had his usual Orange Crush and said it was okay. Our meals consisted of wings and salmon/shrimp in a sauce, it was okay. One thing I was not impressed with was the long line of individuals waiting to use the unisex restroom. Still these are minor issues and I would definitely recommend others to dine here.

Great place, great people, great drinks and great food!! Whenever I'm in town visiting, watershed is a must-go place. My friends/family and I love to come for a game day- you can hang out at the bar, order drinks and great food, and have an amazing time! Servers are always very attentive and make sure you are well taken care of. It does get pretty packed on ravens home game days but it makes the vibes all the better. They have great crushes (some of the best in bmore) and love their selection of food. They also have a great happy hour! If you're in the area, definitely don't pass up watershed.

Came here during happy hour and sat at the bar. It's a small rooftop but it's a nice chill vibe. It's also located next to/with cross street market! The music was a little bit of a toss, with throwbacks but also current hits. Bartender was quick but food took a bit. I tried the lime crush and the old bay mussels. Both were great! The crush was a little sweet at first, but after some ice melted, it mellowed out and was refreshing. The mussels were really good--garlicky and savory. There were whole roasted cloves of garlic and roasted, sliced cherry tomatoes. Definitely need some gum after eating this haha! Not sure how a regular meal here is but I'd say happy hour is worth it!

I love Watershed! It's literally an easy choice whenever I come here! Friendly staff, great bar vibes, and delicious food! Taylor took care of us this visit and was so friendly and attentive. Thanks, Taylor! We had some wings, Bellini's, and crab dip! Very yummy! The bar had a tarp enclosure which made it feel very warm. In the summertime, this place is so fun!! The music was also on point! Really nice old school playlist featuring Barry White and others! Awesome time!

Watershed is a bit expensive for me but they have a great happy hour! $3 per slider, $8 crushes, etc. Make sure you order a side of the gochujang ranch that comes with the onion rings!!!!

I went here for a solo date. I didn't realize that food stops being served at 10pm so I decided to just order 1 drink. The bartender was able to make me a spicy marg which was great at first. The spicy margarita was more sweet than spicy and it was bit overpriced in my opinion. All in all I hope to come again another time so I can try their food.

I was recommended that I should eat at Watershed so I came here with my friend. It was both of our first time here so we were excited to see what they had to offer. I got the cream of crab soup as well as the Watershed Burger. The cream of crab soup was delicious and flavorful, I like that I can taste the Old bay seasoning it really adds even more flavor to it. The burger was good as well but just a little messy so be careful my friend had gotten the exact thing as me so she enjoyed everything as well. We ended up getting a slice of chocolate cake for dessert and it was sooo good! Very chocolatey and creamy! Our server throughout the whole interaction was nice and checked on us to make sure if we wanted refills and was overall helpful/friendly. Can't wait to go back someday and try something different

I actually stumbled in here on a Sunday afternoon while headed to a Yelp Elite experience in Federal Hill. What a treat to learn it was an Atlas Restaurant and I could earn rewards points in my app. We were seated right away near the bar so we could enjoy the televised NFL Combine , burgers and beer. I smiled when I saw Green Machine IPA from our local Diamondback Brewery on tap. Yes, please! It's my favorite brew at the moment. My partner ordered the Checkerspot NEIPA, another local brew and both owned by UMD Terps! Off to a good start, I ordered the Watershed Burger cooked well done, no pink. I usually hesitate to order burgers because when I ask for no pink, they arrive very pink. This time was different. The burger was cooked exactly how I requested and was loaded with all sorts of deliciousness. Shredded lettuce, pickles, tomato, caramelized onions and a special sauce made for a delicious burger. The fries were amazing and a bit like Boardwalk fries with just enough sea salt. Yummers. Excellent service by Zay. Besides being friendly and having a very cool name, they also had a razzle dazzle smile. Cute restaurant, cozy booths and natural sunlight.

Olé olé olé olé sweetie pie! A night out of drinks with the fellas and we having a good time at the watershed rooftop bar. The service was pretty slow since it's a Saturday night and there were only 4 bartenders so you gotta be patient However the rooftop vibes make up for the wait. I ordered the olé sweetie pie which is their version of an old fashioned. It is mixed well sweet but strong. I heard that watershed makes strong drinks and this did not disappoint

Customer service was a little lacking . I was hoping for a more friendly staff but the bartenders seemed to have an attitude, both of them lol maybe they were sour for having to work on a holiday?? We stopped here before dinner for a little HH action. The decor is cute , who doesn't love a rooftop and the rain held back for us. It's an Atlas restaurant so you can't go wrong in terms of food. I really enjoy the HH 3-6pm and $8 powerful crush, you can't beat that. Already feeling like summer . I'll definitely be back soon. Maybe not directly at the bar lol. I was able to use my Atlas app so it made it all worth it to me.

Service was great. The host (may have been the manager) was super friendly and inviting. Dell was our server - he was perfect. Didn't harp on us, kept distance when we needed it but keen on not letting us wait too long. This place has amazing chicken and waffles. Let's start there. Its 5/5 - YOU CANNOT GO WRONG ordering it. This time around i tried crab cake egg rolls and the shed platter. $20 for 2 egg rolls cut in half. Not worth the price. They were full of crab meat but were missing something. $16 for the shed platter was ok. Its your basic breakfast platter. Eggs and potatoes were really good. Chicken sausage was dry and not appetizing. Overall pleasant experience would recommend for Chicken and Waffles.

Their happy hr is still a go to. On another visit checked them out. Got the Bmore crush...very rye forward. Good. Their crispy calamari doesn't disappoint. It's also very well seasoned. You can also never go wrong with their oysters. They have a great selection from briny to buttery. I was however disappointed in the cream of crab soup. Although pretty in presentation, It tasted unlike cream of crab soup. Not creamy at all. Tasted a bit leftover and old. Like someone attempted to save it but, it should've been tossed. And that I did after 2 spoons. :(

Have been to this place just for drinks previously, but I wanted to take advantage of their happy hour specials. Got a little birthday money so I felt like splurging myself and having some fresh oysters. I ordered half a dozen and they were super fresh with all of the normal fixings that you would find at a bar and Baltimore. In addition to, the oysters I had a 32 ounce beer for six bucks which is a steal if you ask me. I saw the person sitting next to us order a burger that looked really good. I asked them what it was and they said it was the happy hour burger. So I ordered it. And I must say it was really good. Actually surprisingly good burger at a bar happy hour. Definitely will go back. I like that you can go upstairs and have a nice little view of light street downstairs also. It's a good place to have friends and watch the game. definitely will be going back.

Drove my family up from DC for a dessert festival but we knew needed to eat first. Watershed was on my list so I made reservations in the car. We arrived and were quickly seated. This was place really clean and spacious. I didn't expect this. Wasn't crowded at all. We all ordered Shrimp Po' Boys as we wanted room for dessert later. About 15 mins went by and everything came out hot. The French fries were delicious. Perfect amount of salt. The Po' Boy was phenomenal. Perfect temperature, soft bread, very well seasoned shrimp. I'm a fan and would definitely come back.

I love this place! It's huge so there's plenty of seating options on s available, with a rooftop that can be covered with heaters on the chillier days. This place is best known for its seafood and orange crushes, it's the classic Maryland spot. I've never ordered something here and didn't love it. Prices are super Reasonable, drinks are big and strong, and the service is quick. Crab cake Benedict, cream of crab soup, and the seafood boil are some of my favorites!

Crab-a-licious! When in Baltimore, you must do what Baltimoreans do... eat crabs! And, this place came highly recommended. With a great menu of options you will not be disappointed at all. It's crabby, it's fishy, and it's quite tasty. I never thought this bar would offer some solid seafood, but it did exactly that. The service was top notch also. I can see this being a hot spot for events, happy hour drinks and gobbling down some tasty food. The atmosphere is for all, and ambiance is pleasant as it looks modern and clean.

This is a nice spot to grab drinks. Their orange crush was amazing! I also ordered a half dozen of oysters. The guy at the bar who helped us was really nice but it did take a long time for us to get out oysters. Once we did, we were left wanting more because of how fresh they were! They have an area where people play live music and there's a lot of televisions too so you can watch the games or whatnot. If you're going during the summer I'd recommend going in the evening because it gets really hot since it's an open area. I would also recommend that they have more seats at the high tables so people don't have to be standing for long periods of time.

Watershed is sooo good guys. The service is great, ambiance of the restaurant is inviting and i love coming here. I always get the cheesesteak with fries and it's sooo good, top 3 cheesesteaks in MD for sure. My friend got the crab fries and no Bueno, the fries were soggy and the corn in the crab fries completely threw me off. Parking can also be tricky, street parking or a nearby garage. Otherwise, i will return here and just stick with getting the cheesesteak and fries.. yum!

Wonderful experience! I love the ambiance of upstairs. Had both the baseball and basketball games on, live music, and an overall lovely feel. Our waiter Josh was fantastic and kind. The crab cake sandwich was delicious and the smash burger was satisfying. Their fries aren't great and its all a little pricey but you're paying for the good experience. Had a fantastic oyster shooter and a good time!

I wish I took pictures of the food but I had the Buffalo chicken wings and I've never eaten wings so fast in my life they were so good!! Came here to watch the eagles ravens game and there were TVs everywhere so there was no fighting to watch it because I could go anywhere in the building to see it. The place is super high energy and I loved it! The servers were so great even with a large crowd they were very help and consistently kept checking in. I need try the place on a calmer night it's probably even better.

Very solid orange crushes, rooftop vibes, and super friendly staff. I had the crab cake platter, which I liked a lot. The fries were the star of the show though, super good. The asparagus could use some garlic or flavor - it was pretty bland. But overall, a solid meal. The burger someone at the table got looked fire, I love smash burgers so I'll have to get that sometime. Will be back for sure!

About a year ago my wife and I were on a little date and we found this awesome place. We liked it so much h we spent $400 on oysters and mussels!!! Two days later we met one of our favorite couples here and spent another $400 smh. The food is addictive, the atmosphere is awesome and the waitstaff is great! The young bartender took her time and described a few drinks so my wife could make an educated choice. It's really our favorite place to eat oysters.

The outdoor rooftop continues to be one of the main attractions of this place, even as my experiences with the food quality goes up and down. GLOWS: -The chocolate cake on the dessert menu was sooo very good. IMO some of the smoothest double chocolate cake! -The Kale salad is still good. I added chicken which made it more expensive than I care to pay for a salad--but still tasty. -Every time I come, I feel like the roasted potatoes have a different flavor. Never bad, just different and wondering about consistency. Its still a great alternative to french fries for me personally. GROWS: -The mussels were completely flavorless and had a very peculiar look to them. I couldn't stomach eating them, so I pushed them to the side. I probably should've sent them back but didn't -The service was very slow, even on a slow afternoon on the rooftop. It was hard to track down a server to get things cleared off the table and the bill settled. -The crab cake entree is getting smaller and the prices higher. I always take issue when a double crab cake platter is exactly double the price. Why would I pay double for 2 crab cakes and 2 sides when technically I can order 2 single meals and have 2 crab cakes and 4 sides? It's a marketing issue for me.

Omg.... Screw the seafood. Get the Nashville spicy fried chicken. I got a half chicken and it's absolutely UNREAL how good it was. The portion was absolutely massive too. The fries were fantastic, and the waitress was great and swapped in Mac n cheese instead of Cole slaw. The biggest downside, at least on this Saturday night, is that the music was annoyingly loud. Amazing all the way around otherwise though!

Had to get my seafood fix while still in Maryland! Arrived shortly after they opened and was able to choose our seat. Heard everyone raving about the crab dip and I know why. A delicious Maryland crab dip baked to perfection. The fish tacos were also super fresh and loaded. Our waiter was great making sure to keep an eye on us and overall a great meal!

Found this close to our air bnb & it was a pleasant surprise! Would recommend if you're looking for a seafood option without trekking all the way to the harbor. The fries were great (have a slight kick to it). The scallops were AMAZING - would recommend this! The pasta was loaded with seafood, but nothing to phone home about. The only downside is that it's also half bar and there was a girl singing (coffeehouse style) so it was EXTREMELY loud in there and we couldn't hear each other talking at all. So I wouldn't recommend if you want a peaceful family restaurant style meal, beware!

The best patio in Fed Hill. Amazing happy hour with affordable prices and high quality food. 10/10

Perfect rooftop vibe in fed hill. Drinks are solid & the food I solid. Some of my favorite honey old bay wings. Staff is always nice and friendly as well.

Food 4.5/5: Food is overall really good, the chicken Caesar is the reason I come back here every single time. The cheese is freshly grated, the chicken is juicy and filled with flavor and the lettuce is always fresh. The wings are solid only for happy hour, they were crispy and also flavorful, however the ranch could use some work. Everything that I've had on the menu thus far has been good. Note: I did get ceviche but it was absolutely tiny in portion size. Service 3/5: I have had experiences with good servers and servers that were lacking here. Overall, they are friendly but the last time I came here the server didn't check on us much, and our waters were empty, took a long time to get us our check etc; In addition, referring back to the ceviche, we let our server know the ceviche wasn't what we expected and asked if we could substitute it. While she agreed and kindly took it back, the manager later came and told us it was the normal serving size and took a look at it himself. I understand wanting to check on the concern, it just came off rudely. Also, they require you to have your ID every time you come, so keep that in mind. Ambiance 4/5: For the vibes it's going for, it's pretty nice. Music is really loud and it's not all that great, they also had performers who sang the times that I have went and it's nice touch.
