There are not enough stars for this place! The vibe is super welcoming and the food and drinks are delicious! Truly unbelievable that it’s all plant based. My only advice would be to check the bakery case before you order because there might be amazing surprise treats. I have the cauliflower wings, Cuban and a cocktail. Took the carrot cake to go and so delicious start to finish. And the friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere just makes it perfect.

This is a great vegan restaurant with plenty of gluten-free choices. Entrees, cocktails, and desserts are all delightful and quite filling. Just steer clear of the fried items if you're celiac, as there is not a dedicated gluten-free fryer (these items are all clearly marked on the menu).

First of all. Im not Vegan or Vegetarian, however!…. This food was good! Surprisingly i thought i was going to hate the absence of meat products in my food, but i enjoyed the food. I tried the mushroom burrito, turkey and brie, and the Caesar wrap. Fantastic flavor. It doesnt beat meat, but its a great alternative.

I dined at Watercourse on March 3rd, 2024 and i’ll never dine here again. Let me tell you why. I honestly wasn’t going to even write a review but the more I thought about how poor my experience was, I realized it was important to share. I traveled from Los Angeles to Denver alone for work and I was excited to eat here, as I am plant based and did a lot of research on where to eat. I decided on Watercourse because I saw they had a three course option for a great price. I excitedly made my reservation about a week in advance. I arrived at about 4:20 and it was pretty quiet. I was greeted and seated by 4:25 and then completely forgotten about for almost 40 minutes. I’m not joking. The servers would look over at me, say something to each other, and then walk away. I had time to spare because I was just going back to my hotel afterwards, so I waited to see how long it would take them to remember I exist. A large party was sat about 20 minutes after I sat down and they were immediately taken care of, drinks and all. Again, there weren’t many tables at this time, the servers knew I was there and hadn’t been taken care of yet, and still continued to ignore me. I don’t remember the exact servers but I know one of them was a woman with very short hair - that’s all I remember. Anyways, when they finally bothered to come to my table, there was no apology for the delay. Very nonchalant. The actual food was ok, it was a bit cold and the only dishes I actually liked were the mushroom starter and the chocolate dessert. The seitan steak and halloumi (?) sticks were kind of gross. This whole experience was highly disappointing and I will never come here again. If they don’t care about their customers (especially single diners) why should I give this place even more money? I have vegan friends that frequent Denver and I tell them to avoid this restaurant like the plague.
