    I heard a lot of good things about this place and was excited to try it but unfortunately I was quite disappointed. I almost never write a negative review but there are some things I wish I had known before going. At first glance the restaurant seems very attractive. I had a reservation and when the host took us to our table I immediately said no! The restaurant had only one other table used, and he tried to put us in the corner right in front of the kitchen door! He apologized and said he just takes people to the table the computer assigns. Once seated at another location I couldn't help but notice how dated the decor was. Worn carpet, drapes with gold tassels, plastic plate chargers ( mine was torn) and a dead fly on the window sill. We ordered the focaccia bread to start. It was ok, tasty but nothing special. My husband had the mushroom risotto which was very good. It was, however, more like a stew and not the consistency of a typical risotto. I had the shrimp with the lemon sauce. The pasta was good but the lemon flavor was too overwhelming for me and the shrimp were rubbery.

    This restaurant is located inside the hotel. The decor and ambience were a nice surprise as it was nice, clean and quiet. There is a grand piano in the corner, so I wonder if there are live music nights. It's a nice place to go if you want a quiet dinner. Our server was Mark and if you saw any of the other reviews, Mark does not disappoint. He was very helpful without being pushy. He checked on us but wasn't hovering. He gave suggestions in a knowledgeable manner. My friend and I went on a Friday evening around 5:30pm and it wasn't very busy but more people slowly flowed in as we were eating. We had the bread basket with focaccia, whipped ricotta, tomato jam and garlic butter and it was really good (we were also relatively hungry ). For main, we got Nonna's Spaghetti/Pasta and the meatballs were well flavored and tender. Per Mark's suggestion, we also got the Rigatoni with lamb and short ribs in it and that was flavorful and hearty. For a protein option, we ordered the salmon and both of us really enjoyed this option. The salmon was tender with a slightly crispy exterior while the center maintained juicy. It was well seasoned and the veggies and onions that came with it were also very delightful and provided a wonderful crunch. All in all, we would definitely go again. For non alcoholic drinks, they have unsweetened/sweet tea (depending on what they have available that day) and a mocktail that Mark is excited about as he was responsible for it (I think). Not a bad place to go on a date or to bring people from out of town for a more intimate dining experience. Please excuse the bread in the picture, we ate most of it before the mains arrived. I think there were 6 slices/pieces total.

    Live piano player, spectacular service and amazing food. The Nonna's pasta and mushroom risotto was fantastic.

    Nice spot in the Penn Harris Hotel in the space formerly occupied by the hotel restaurant. Actually, I guess it IS the hotel restaurant! My companion and I sat at the bar, which is a kind of an odd windowless space off the main restaurant. Our bartender, Lindsey, was super friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the Nonna's meatballs appetizer which were freakin' outrageous. The main dining room has a nice view and can be a pleasant spot for an evening meal. The menu is excellent Italian, and the drink list leans accordingly.

    I'm not sure anyone could find this place unless they were specifically looking for it . Restaurant is tucked away in the back of a large hotel. Food was decent, not spectacular. Meatball starter was very good, pasta main course had ok flavor, but was a little overcooked. I like my pasta al dente, and this was definitely not it. The cannolis for dessert was actually the best part of the meal. Service was good, but we were literally the only customers in the restaurant at 5pm on a Saturday. A solid choice if you happen to be staying in the hotel, but otherwise there are better alternatives that are a lot easier to find.

    Pretty good food - we got the lasagna and port tenderloin. Side of carrots. Dessert was big (tiramisu) but a little too rich.

    I've passed Watershed Pub a million times and never stopped, so when I met a friend for lunch, it…read morefinally felt like the right time to check it out. Naturally, I had already done my due diligence (read: stalked the menu for a full week) and had a game plan. At the top of my list? The deviled eggs and the Kale Caesar salad with salmon. The only problem...I absolutely did not need $40 worth of food for lunch. So I quietly spent the week putting "deviled egg energy" out into the Universe, hoping my lunch partner would suggest splitting them. Manifestation is real, people. I arrived around 12pm and found plenty of parking out back in Watershed's designated lot, which is clearly labeled--a good thing, because parking in that area looks like it could get competitive if you're not paying attention. We had made a 12:15pm reservation (Monday lunch felt safe, but why risk it?), and our table on the enclosed patio was ready when we arrived. It was the perfect setup--sunny and bright, but still warm enough to be comfortable on a chilly day. The vibe was great, and our server was even better--friendly, attentive, and consistently checking in without being overbearing. Then it was time to order. I let my lunch partner go first and waited... "Do you want to try the deviled eggs as an appetizer?" Are you kidding me?!. YES. Yes, I did! We ordered the deviled eggs ($11) to share, and I followed through with my Kale Caesar salad ($15) topped with seared salmon (+$13), officially completing my week-long menu-stalking mission. The deviled eggs came out FAST, and in my excitement, I completely forgot to take a picture--which tells you everything you need to know. Each egg was topped with a cube of candied bacon that absolutely stole the show. Sweet, savory, and just the right texture to complement the creamy filling. We made quick work of all four--excellent start to the meal! Not long after, our lunches arrived, and my salad? Gorgeous. Like, actually exciting to look at. I dug in immediately and it delivered. The mix of shaved brussels sprouts, kale, and romaine gave it great texture, the dressing was well-balanced, and the red onion didn't overpower the rest of the flavors. But my favorite part? The garlic parmesan crouton crumble. No chasing rogue croutons around the plate--just perfectly distributed crunch in every bite. Genius! The portion size was generous, too--I made it through about half before calling it and boxing the rest for dinner later. By the time we were wrapping up, the enclosed patio had filled up significantly, which tells me this is a popular lunch spot--and for good reason. The food is solid, the atmosphere is great, and the service was spot on. That said...$40 for deviled eggs, a salad and water is a bit steep for an everyday lunch. For me, this feels more like a "treat yourself," client meeting, or special occasion kind of place rather than a regular rotation spot. Would I come back? Absolutely. Would I be casually popping in every week? Probably not. But those deviled eggs? Totally worth manifesting!
