    Fried oysters
    Matt L.

    Stopped in before an O's/Phillies game and it was crowded but there were tables. We had a big group of ten and sat on the rooftop. Great space. Service was excellent and attentive. Though they were busy we got drinks and food quickly. I tried the fried oysters, 6 meaty nuggets fried well and will a dollup of sauce they helped. 2 bites each. I also shared the crab dip which was really teasty and also meaty. Highly recommend.

    Crème Brûlée

    I have walked past Watershed a few times and I finally stopped by to grab some oysters. They have indoor and rooftop seating available. I enjoyed my meal at the rooftop bar. The food was delicious. I ordered the Tuscan kale salad, the steam mussels, oysters and the crème brûlée. The salad was amazing, I loved the candied ginger and truffle cheese. The mussels were fantastic, I loved the old bay wine sauce. The staff are friendly, I will definitely be coming back.

    PEEL & EAT SHRIMP
    Mitasha P.

    I stopped by Watershed during happy hour. I ordered the steamed peel and eat shrimp for $10 and the coconut curry mussels. The shrimp special is advertised as a half pound, which ended up being only five shrimp. Unfortunately, they were also served cold when they arrived. Service was friendly throughout the meal, but my two coworkers received their Maryland crab soup and Drunken Sailor Noodles before my shrimp even came out. When my mussels finally arrived, they were served with a small piece of baguette. The coconut curry broth was sweeter than expected, and the mussels did not left me feeling great afterward. I also tried some of my coworker's Drunken Sailor Noodles and found them to be lacking flavor. While the happy hour pricing is appealing, I was disappointed by the overall food quality. That said, Watershed does have some positives. The service was good, the atmosphere is very nice, and they offer both indoor seating inside Cross Street Market and a rooftop patio that is dog friendly. If you're looking for a place to grab drinks and enjoy the ambiance, it's worth checking out. For the food, however, I expected more.

    It was a beautiful spring day so happy hour on the rooftop deck sounded like a great idea. There was adequate seating at the bar and plenty of tables set up all over the deck. Music and noise level was moderate and everything appeared clean. My friend and I opted to sit at the bar. The bartender asked for my card to start a tab and took our order. I ordered a sidecar (made with Remy), steamed shrimp, honey old bay wings, cheese fries and a burger slider. Everything came out in a reasonable time and was hot and fresh. The ranch had a weird after taste to it so I didn't use much of it for my wings. I also didn't like the cheese sauce on the fries. Other than that everything else was copacetic and I would return.

    Wasn't expecting a rooftop bar at the marketplace in bmore but with upstairs and downstairs seating indoor and outdoor i was very impressed. And during the summer months everyone wants to be outside. Thermodynamics looks amazing and the staff was super nice . I saw so many dishes I wanted to try

    This was my first time at Watershed. It was a lovely day, and we chose to eat outside on the rooftop. We were seated quickly, and our waiter came right over. He was very pleasant and checked on us throughout our meal. The food was great. I ordered the fried shrimp platter, and it was delicious, seasoned just right. I didn't even need any cocktail sauce. The party seated near us ordered wings, and they looked good, too. I will definitely be back and will try the wings the next time.

    Crispy fried blue shrimp wontons
    Ashley C.

    This place was ammaaazing. From our service (zay) I may b miss pronouncing his name. Surprisingly came on during happy hour and they had $1 oysters. And can I say they were sooo fresh. We also ordered the crispy fried blue crab wontons; along with a crab cake platter and crab cake sandwich.

    Orange crush
    Sheneil B.

    Friday evening hang on the rooftop. The service was great, they were very attentive. We had just missed HH(ends at 6p), but enjoyed some orange crushes which had a favored amount of alcohol. The shrimp po boy was a good pick from the sandwiches, and the crab soup is always a fave. The crab egg rolls were a first time try but were a but underwhelming and salty.

    WATERSHED WINGS
    Mike J.

    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.

    FISH TACOS
    Amy P.

    We came here for a work-related event and had a great experience. The service was excellent, and we were seated on the covered rooftop, which had a really open and relaxed atmosphere. The food was fantastic, I especially enjoyed the fish tacos and the appetizers, including the honey old bay wings and crab egg rolls. My coworkers also loved their catfish sandwiches. Overall, it was a great spot for a group gathering.

    Oyster
    Ann R.

    Came here for happy hour and the vibes were good! Was on the rooftop and it was really nice up there on a late summer day. Bar was full but there were plenty of tables to be sat at. We ordered oysters ($1 each), chicken sliders, loaded fries, and drunken noodles. I didn't eat the oysters but my parents said they were decent. They did say it was on the smaller side, but for the price it was worth it. I will say all the other food was very bland. The drunken noodles just tasted like chicken broth. The sliders were a decent size and had sauce on them but also bland. Fries were pretty good! The cheese had some spice in it but fries themselves needed salt. I ended up adding salt to all my food. Would come back for oysters and happy hour drinks but not for food.

    Garlic mussels and buffalo wings ..grapefruit crush and Prosecco

    Solid Happy hour for sure..I love their mussels and wings. The crab dip gets an honorable mention for its consistency.

    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.

    I have been hearing so much about LP Steamers recently and I am so glad I finally got to try it…read morethis weekend. The crabs were meaty and delicious, with even the legs having meat in them. That is always my favorite part! We sat inside and upstairs, and it felt like the perfect little table escape. It wasn't too loud and food was delivered so quickly. Service was great! The prices are very reasonable for a seafood house, especially the hearty seafood platter. The lobster tail on that was amazing. My only request would be for them to actually say what kind of oysters they have, instead of saying "local oysters." They were still delicious and the perfect way to start our meal. Additionally, for being a seafood house, it was fairly clean. You are encompassed in seafood from the moment you walk in, in the best way possible. It is truly a meal you won't regret!

    LP Steamers was the bomb! My friend and I got a recommendation to go here from another friend who…read moreused to work in Baltimore, so we figured we'd give it a try after going to Fort McHenry. This restaurant did not disappoint! We were seated upstairs, surrounded by people eating crabs by the dozen. Nice! However, we weren't much in the mood to fight for our meals so we got the hushpuppies and fried pickles for an appetizer and then decided to split a double crab cake platter with curly fries and coleslaw. Hushpuppies - fabulous! (Not sure how I feel about the cinnamon butter, and I like cinnamon) Fried pickles - epic! And the bmore ranch served with them? Stellar. Crab cakes - fantabulous! It was almost entirely crab with very little filler. The crab meat was sweet and succulent and just perfect. I liked the slaw - it had a tiny hint of jalepeno or something. The only thing that wasn't great were the curly fries, and it's not like they were bad. Just not fabulous. Also, the servers were very nice. The power went off while we were there and everyone just took it in stride til it kicked back in. Excellent restaurant and I'm so glad we went!

There was live band playing which everyone enjoyed and added to the happiness of it being a Friday. For food, I ordered the crab cake sandwich with the Chesapeake French fries. We also ordered the egg rolls for appetizers. Everything was delicious, seasoned perfectly and great sides. I will definitely be back and can't wait to have the Maryland crabs!

I was only there for a short time, and this restaurant was at the top of my list. When we arrived, a very pleasant staff member greeted us.

The staff inside also provided great customer service. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was disappointing. The patio was the only area with regular seating; inside, the tables are standing tables. We were eating on the patio when the owner came out and took the hot sauce bottle, explaining that we couldn't keep it at the table. She offered to bring us some hot sauce to go, which was fine. About 10 minutes later, she returned and said the patio would need to close soon. It was around 4 p.m., and the restaurant closes at 5:30, so we were surprised. We acknowledged her and continued eating. About 15 minutes later, she came back and asked if we wanted to-go boxes. At that point, we told her we felt rushed. She said she needed to close and lock up the patio. We told her there was no sign posted saying the patio closed early and asked how we were supposed to know. She dismissed our concern and casually replied, "Well, I guess I can put one up." I believe the owner's name was Nancy, but one of the workers inside told us her name was Eve. That interaction took away from what had started as a great meal. We had traveled about 40 minutes by Uber, spent over $100, and explained that this was our first visit to Baltimore and the first stop on our itinerary. Even though the food was a 10 out of 10, customer service triumphs over the food for me. I'm spending my hard-earned money, and I expect to feel welcome while doing so. It's sad to say, but I will not be returning.

My fries orders the fish and chips. I was not impressed with the fish. It was deep fried with heavy batter that resembled an egg roll. The customer service was nice.
