Really cute little place. Food was delicious. We really enjoyed the charcuterie board. It’s on the pricier side, but it’s all about farm to table so it makes sense.

Not what I expected. This restaurant doesn’t run like a normal one and is actually a bit confusing. I had to order, pay and tip before I even sat down. I had no clue who my server was or what kind of service I would get after a 20% tip. Prices are really high. I felt like I paid way too much for what I got.
Biggest issue was the water. It was disgusting. I took a sip and couldn’t control the disgust on my face. My boyfriend spit the water back into his cup it was so bad. A woman across tables called over, “You guys think it tastes funny too?” She also hated the water. It tasted like filmy soap salt water. Made me not want to eat the food if it was made with the same soapy water. Very bad taste in my mouth and won’t ever come back here.

There was quite a line when we walked up and we were excited to eat here based on the crowd and reviews. Unfortunately, both the food and service let us down. Every employee seemed annoyed and inconvenienced by everything, from seating us to taking our orders. From the time we ordered, it was over a 30 minute wait for it to arrive to our table. I was in a party of five and we all ordered sandwiches or burgers, so the long wait didn’t seem to make much sense. I would describe the food as reimagined Panera. I got the turkey club and the bread was only partially toasted, to the point where my sandwich looked like two unrelated halves. I can’t remember the last time eating out felt like a waste of time.

The meal was beautiful, fresh, nutritious, creative, and DELICIOUS. Scallops were perfectly cooked, veggies were so vibrant, seasoned sweet potato with candied pecans and cranberries were like desert, house salad was simple, beautiful, and yummy. We’ll be back again and again. Oh and you can see/hear the waterfalls out the window and on their gorgeous deck. Take time to hike down the stairs to the bottom of the falls!

Watershed Cafe was walking distance from a little B&B that we stayed at in Osceola. They take your order at the counter right when you walk in. We ate here twice [so far] and really loved everything about it. We ordered posole soup, minestrone soup, and a veggie hummus sandwich. All very well prepared and delicious. We also got to try their old fashioned which was delicious and had about a half orange of pulp in it.

Went for a lovely fall hike up the river bluffs across the street, then came back down to a tasty anniversary dinner here. Casual, rustic atmosphere. Very scenic eating out on the deck next to Osceola Creek. Food was great quality and deliciously prepared. First time coming here and will definitely be back.

Loved this place! A must visit! We went here while we were visiting the area and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The chips and fries were really good.
The staff are very friendly, the food is delicious, and the restaurant itself is super cute! We sat outside and enjoyed the waterfall.

Such a nice surprise! My son and I stumbled across when we were on a road trip and everyone was so accommodating and seemed really happy to be working there. The food is all homemade/locally sourced and my iced coffee was much needed and delicious. I asked for something to color for my kid and they brought him a fun little communal restaurant toy. We also go to learn a little bit about local history and see the watershed fall. If I ever happen to be in the area again I would stop by. Everything looked fresh and satisfying.

I’ve been here three times now, all within the past few months and just love the place. The service is amazing as is the food. I ordered gluten-free dairy free options, without a hitch!
