I have never been more happy to try to grab reservations too late, for Valentine’s Day, in my life. I’m from Philly and we were coming in for a couple hours because we were going to go to a show at a local theater. Tried getting dinner reservations at all of the normal spots at the harbor with no success. So went on open table and found the Watershed, checked out the menu and reviews and decided to book a reservation.

We got a great parking spot right in the alleyway next to the restaurant. The nightlife on the street was awesome. Lots of people out having a good time…going to different restaurants. Walked in to the Watershed and was welcomed by a warm smile from the hostess and a conversation with the manager because I was concerned that I parked next to a broken parking meter and didn’t want to get a ticket. As I said, I’m from Philly.

The atmosphere was lively with people sitting at the bar and tables chitchatting. Volume of the music was just right, which added to the ambience. It wasn’t overcrowded, there was more than enough space to move around. We were seated right away on the first floor never got a chance to go upstairs.

Waiter came, gave us our menus which included a special Valentine’s Day menu. You have to use a QR code to get the drink menu. I wanted to order everything, but we narrowed it down to roasted garlic mussels for each, some tasty drinks: Honeypot and the Nor’easter, and the couples surf and turf from the special menu, which included a big piece of steak and two lump meat, crabcakes, fries, coleslaw, and two sauces.

The food was so good. The mussels came with this wonderful crunchy sliced French bread with look like blue cheese butter maybe some parsley on top. Perfect for dipping in the mussel’s juice. Very flavorful.

The only thing that I didn’t like was that they brought our meal out while we were still eating the mussels but I wasn’t trippin’. The whole experience was a vibe.

The restrooms were very clean and spacious.

Nice Baltimore atmosphere, food was delicious, and staff was really top notch with the attention and customer service. From the time we walked in and greeted by the hostess to leaving out the door, good vibes. The bartender upstairs with the two sleeves of tattoos was very nice, efficient, attentive and took care of us. Kudos to him and this gem of a restaurant. I know this spot is banging in beautiful weather. I will be back!

Rooftop Seating is a little different. Meaning if you don’t have enough to fill the whole table, another party can be sat next you. Customer service was very good. Rooftop is very nice with a huge bar. Mami and I slid over to catch the happy hour and were very pleased. We ordered the following:

Pineapple crushes: 4/10 pass for us. Just aren’t fans of any crushes really
Drunk sailor noodles: 10/10 must try. How the egg was made surprised me. Very good
Oysters x 12: 8/10 very fresh
Watershed wings: 8/10 regular wings but good
Fried chicken sliders: 6/10 plain and a little dry
Mussels curry: 100/10 no typo. Truly the star of the meal. The sauce is incredible!
Peeled shrimp: 6/10 good but not worth $10

Everything cost $75. Strongly recommend coming here for happy hour.

Had group of 8 and making reservation was easy to do. The crab dip was truly amazing! The lychee martini also a highlight with dinner. We had variety of meals from fried shrimp to angus steak to the stuffed lobster tail and all were very good. Service was a bit slow and we were constantly waving down waitress to order or get bill but overall experience was good and I’d definitely go back!

Went for happy hour on a weekday. Not the best food, so I wouldn’t go back for the food. The drinks were great, I would go back for them. And it was a cozy atmosphere with a nice server.

I came here because I saw so many great reviews about their fresh oysters, so we decided to try them. But I was honestly shocked by what came to the table. The oysters were dry, flat, and just… sad. One of them was even completely messed up — you can see it in the photos I attached.

And by the way, the Maryland crab soup wasn’t good at all either. I didn’t even bother including the photo — you can try it yourself and let me know what you think.

Not gonna lie, maybe it’s on me for ordering oysters from a bar, but still… this was really disappointing, especially after all the positive reviews.

Lively second floor patio/ rooftop bar with lots of TVs and a great bar. Gets crowded…. Good food, nice selection, but first and for most it’s a great place for game day drinks and hanging with a good crowd.

I had an amazing experience at Watershed in Baltimore! From start to finish, everything was a vibe. The rooftop bar was the highlight! Great atmosphere, perfect views, and the kind of energy that makes you want to stay all night.

The drinks were on point well made, flavorful, and worth every sip. And the food? SO good. Everything I tried was fresh, tasty, and exactly what I was hoping for. It’s rare to find a spot that nails both the menu and the mood, but Watershed really delivered.

If you’re looking for a place with great rooftop scenery, delicious drinks, and food you’ll actually remember, Watershed is it. I’ll definitely be back!

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!

The Maine lobster roll was absolutely delicious! The old bay aioli is a great addition to this dish, however the fries were pretty mediocre. Atmosphere was great as well I’d definitely come back
