I had lunch there with my daughter last weekend, and it was perfect. We had the two pasta dishes, and 3 of the toast selections. All were delicious. We also had an interesting cocktail, topped with an orange slice, very good. The interior is beautiful, we can’t wait to go back. Our waiter provided very good service and info about the menu. We honestly can’t say enough about it–it’s wonderful! Being lunch, it wasn’t terribly crowded, so it was not noisy then. But, y’all in Decatur need to be thrilled that your restaurants, pubs and other businesses are so popular they are crowded. It’s a high class problem!

Watershed’s brunch has taken a few steps back in recent months – too bad as it was one of our go-to joints. The omeletted looked like it was about 1/2 normal size and the cranberry juice was brown. I would welcome a change back to the way it was before

No 246 – here’s hoping it’s easy to navigate the menu with a gluten-free eater in the house.

Watershed has become a bit tired, don’t you think? Who really goes there anymore particularly now with newer and better options like Cakes and Ale and now 246. Watershed fell out of my rotation years ago.

Maybe it is time to just let Treux do his thing there at that location rather than keep Watershed,a nd the ghost of Scott Peacock, going?

246- agree with above…delicious food, but was too loud. We sat at a table for two by the bar. For our celebratory dinner, the table location was very distracting. Good service, but at times, a little too attentive. We will definitely go back, but request to sit in the main dining room. Nice addition to Decatur!

Went there wtih the spousal unit Sunday evening– although I can’t eat pork, I took a forkful of his pappardelle carbonara (being careful not to spear a cube of piglet), and swooned. Deliciously porky, eggy, buttery goodness! The spaghetti with white shrimp was fab, as were the toasts (the roasted fig & the housemade ricotta). Drinks were very good, too. The only quibble was with the dessert: I don’t particularly care for my espresso ice cream to be salty (that’s a better flavor mesh with chocolate or caramel– with espresso, it just kinda hit my palate wrong). Would’ve gotten the blackberry, but they were out, so we’ll try that next time! Overall, loved it, and will definitely be back!
