   Had a group meet for lunch. We were seated outside and happy as it was a beautiful sunny day. We had wine, pizza & strawberry daquiris. Service was good & fast. Staff were pleasant. Overall very happy with the experience.

   Walked up to security when arrived to say we had a booking. He cut me off half way through speaking to say they were fully booked. I had to then say again i had a booking. Very rude. We were disappointed to find that the menu was very small and only had a portion of the items available from the menu online. Food was very nice though. Although the gummy bear cocktail was horrible. Beautiful views of the harbour and overall we had a good experience. Shame the security guard was on the door though. Thanks and will be dining again.

   Great food and ambience. My Tassie visiting friend was really impressed. Drinks service was a little slow but it was okay, not a ridiculous wait. Staff were very friendly.

   Would not recommend. Waited 1hr and 1/2 for food to come to half of the table. Then another 20 mins for the res of the table. One plate had hair in it, sent back when it came back food was cold. Crap Service waiter was rude! I would never return here. I recommend you should eat elsewhere.

    Overall an enjoyable experience. However not faultless. Not all items on menu were available and we were not warned. Entrees came out with one of the mains. The other mains took forever to come out. Food was tasty.

    What a delight. Off the beaten path and we’ve recently dined in this area many times and have never come across The Watershed. We enjoyed our food and the service was great. We will certainly return to this restaurant. Our friend was super impressed with the gluten free burger buns and could a hamburger.

    Nice atmosphere, nice beverage options. Food was quite poor, I had a chicken schnitzel and the chicken was undercooked and felt like a cheap cut of meat. Would go for a drink but would not eat at again.

    Good food but not alot of options. Great service by wait staff. Great view and dj. Beautiful lights. We got the table for an unlimited amount of time. However when security asked a friend to leave (and he was leaving) he got shoved which I thought was quite unnecessary because there was no argument or attitude given.

    Watershed is horrible do not recommend. We chose our dinner to be at 8:15 and even had an email confirming our 8:15 reservation. We arrived at 8:15 and were greeted by a rude security guard who, instead of asking for proof of vaccination and for us to sign in yelled at us to do what he wanted. We got to the front and they told us we could not go in because our reservation was meant for 6:15, but no one had emailed us about this. We were escorted out and had to find somewhere else to eat at 8:15 at night. Disgusting.

    The WatershedResponded on 4 January 2022Hi there, I would like to investigate your issue further as our system was set up to enable bookings until 7.30pm at the latest due to an external promoter running a Nightclub event from 9pm. Can you please email me through a screen shot of your confirmation for 8.15pm booking?

    Terrible waste of time queueing up to order food while servers were busy mixing drinks, waiters standing around with nothing to do and kitchen idle. Inefficiency must be costing you a mint!

    Great location. Great vibe. Unfortunately music was too loud for the size of the venue. Food was average. A couple of us ordered the skewers and they were cold. Chips were a little bit overcooked. A little too pricey for the standard of food. Drinks were watered down. We spent ALOT of money on spirits and felt they were watered down.

    Attended last year's Melbourne Cup Lunch at The Watershed and it was absolutely fantastic, the food, atmosphere and customer service however this year the food was not great at all, the entree arrived promptly after we arrived but seemed as though it had been sitting out for some time as the cheese was melted and the ham/salami was warm and covered in olive oil for some reason, when the main arrived it was a mixture of hot and cold seafood items, it was all overcooked and the fish cakes were rock hard, we didn't really eat much of the main as we were worried about food safety as everything was cold and we weren't sure if it had been left out like the entree. The dessert was by far the best course. I gave 3 stars as the customer service was the best part of our experience with The Watershed, leading up to the event, I did ask to be seated in the shade and near a TV if possible and they were incredibly accommodating and on the day we didn't have an empty glass all day and cannot say how happy we were with this service. Next year we will be look for an alternative lunch option as this year wasn't great.

    We had frozen drinks and some beer and sat outside by the water. Was a lovely atmosphere except for the two men smoking cigars. We didn't want to complain as they were in the smoking area. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
