    Server took 37 minutes to get our food order, it wasn’t until I approached a manager we got service. Absolutely ridiculous that no one including management apologized for our poor experience.

    We went for lunch/brunch Saturday at 12:30. Few folks were there and I don’t know why. Service and food were excellent. I had the Eastern Shore Cob Salad, which had generous portions of the toppings including three crunchy juicy fried oysters. My lunch date had the crab cake egg rolls “appetizer”, which were delicious and plenty for her main course.

    Our waiter, Allie, was really nice, attentive but not overly attentive, and funny as well. The food was delicious too!

    I enjoyed brunch at watershed, if you’re looking for seafood forward they obviously have your back. If you’re not, and just want something traditional, there are good options as well. I had the chicken and waffle and it was very good. Our waitress was also very nice, and didn’t hover, but was attentive. Would definitely return!
