Food is terrible. 1/5 if I had to rate. Queso tastes like it came from a jar, brisket tacos were dry, mahi tacos were a little better than brisket. Slow service. View of the city is great! I would recommend Tenfold rooftop (we stayed at the Kimpton) highly if looking for a nicer experience

My wife and I came to 1 Watson for her birthday dinner and were pleasantly surprised on how beautiful the event space was. The staff was so friendly and accommodating for us. We loved every second of being there and enjoyed the scenery, our food and our drinks. It was a wonderful date night that I would recommend to others.

Really wanted to enjoy it. This place has a lot of potential. The vibe is nice, music is great, but the service and food is sooo so bad. Waiter didn’t remember we ordered food, then when we finally did get our food it was cold. Like refrigerator cold. We were a party of 2 it shouldn’t have been so bad. When time came to pay we had to get up and walk around to find someone to help us because our server just completely disappeared. Probably won’t be going back, there’s much better.

I could not understand how this place was #1 rated on trip advisor!!?? I had 15 dinner guests and we all barely picked at the food. The cornbread came out looking like dip, and tasted dry and not good. The chips and queso were so so, everything was just bleh. And with 15 people you would think I would have a little help with chairs and servers but no I moved and arranged all the chairs myself and there was only 1 server for all of us.

What a beautiful view! Location and view you cannot be beat. We sat outside. Around 7:30 PM the most amazing Light show began on the exterior of the San Fernando Cathedral located just below 1Watson. we enjoyed wine with some wonderful stuffed jalapeños and other appetizers. A great evening evening with friends.
