I ordered the pork tenderloin. It was perfectly prepared. Everything was so fresh and tasty! They recommended the perfect wine pairing but our coctails were great too. The ambiance and staff were so nice. It was an amazing experience.
Newly renovated restaurant on the second floor. Nice seating area. Food is great. Service is excellent.
Good food and service. Just wish the menu were a bit more expansive - both in terms of the food and the wine (only 3 wines by the glass - a Sauvignon Blanc, a bubbly, and a red wine blend). The salmon bruschetta, clams appetizer, sockeye salmon entree, and meatloaf were all pretty good. The poached pear salad left something to be desired. Our friend loved the bacon wrapped chicken but our other friend seemed disappointed in the pork loin. The bread basket was a bit underwhelming. The red wine blend was average. Definitely good quality food but again, wish there were more choices.
Better than expected and worth the time and money. The meatloaf was delicious and the service friendly. Will happily go again next time I'm in town.
We went in on a Sunday, had a reservation we probably didn't need as most of the restaurant was empty. The wait staff were very friendly but not very attentive. My husband got the meatloaf- super tasty, definitely the best item we had to eat here!
Solid date spot when we visited Leavenworth for the weekend! Enjoyable vibe, great staff and tasty food - especially the Million Dollar Meatloaf and the Pork Loin!

The Watershed Cafe is a very nice restaurant in Leavenworth, a little bit off of the Main Street. It is popular, so it pays to get reservations. Overall the food was good, but a little overpriced for what you get. It looks like the menu rotates, so what we had may not be available at another time. Service was friendly, but they seemed spread thin and slow at times. We started with a bottle of wine. The wine list is not large, but we found a good bottle of red. For an appetizer, we had bruschetta. It was good, slightly different than what I was used to with the cherry tomatoes just cut in half. For the main course, I had pork that came with potatoes croquette and a mustard sauce. The pork was cooked very well, but a little bland and it could have used more of the sauce. The potatoes were fine. Someone else had the meatloaf and seemed to enjoy it more.
