| - So I had been wanting to try this restaurant for years now. We finally made it on Sunday morning. I called before we went ,just to make sure they were open.
When we first got there the place looked so run down, as if it has never been remodeled. There was only about 10 people there inside and out combined. The place is very large though. If it was nice, you could have a Wedding reception there or some other type of party.
When we came in ,we were greeted by a nice girl at the receptionist desk. She showed us a bit of the place and asked if we would like to sit inside or outside. Since it was an amazingly cool day in the Valley, we wanted to sit outside. The whole point of this place is it is on the water.
Even though it is a man made water way, it is still nice to sit and dine. You are limited on what you have to choose from here in the Phoenix Area.
Anyway, She sat us and gave us menu's. She said our server would be right with us. She also explained that we would fill out this piece of paper as to what type of omelet we wanted. Whilst walking to our table,she told us that they only served a buffet until 3:00pm , then they began dinner. The menu was pages of Alcohol. So I really think that they are pushing more to be a bar than a dining establishment.
We got a nice table on the water, and filled out our omelet requests and then we waited. No one ever came. There were 2 other occupied tables outside and no one ever came to check on them either. They looked as if they had been there awhile.
We saw the hostess again, she came running out to help one of the tables already dining, maybe to get their check or something. She was nice enough to stop at our table as well. To check on us. We gave her the omelet papers and told her we had still not seen a server.
This poor girl seemed to be the only one paying attention to what was going on in the place.
We went up to get our food at the Buffet. What a mess!
I know the chef making the waffles was very proud of it all but, have you ever been to another Buffet, another restaurant, a party!
Every thing was just thrown up on the tables. There was not even a resting dish for the serving spoons. So the spoons were inside the food containers. Scorching hot and full of germs from everyone's hands. The lids were half on some containers, not on others at all. Most of the food was really dried out. Either over heated, or over cooked. Everything was messy.
Some of the food items were quite good. Others I could not try! They just looked un edible.
When we got back to the table we had 2 waters with lemons and straws. That was nice. However, that was it. No coffee and no salt and pepper or any other condiments. You also must collect your own Silverware whilst you are at the Buffet. A knife and fork wrapped in a cloth napkin. No spoons. Our server Alexi(i think) did come over to ask if we wanted cocktails at 11:30am. I said no think you , but we would like 2 coffees, luckily I also added we needed cream. She brought them with 2 big Ice tea spoons, so maybe they do not have teaspoons here. I had to go looking for sugar and salt and pepper , and hot sauce. I luckily found them on a table inside.
Shortly after that a man brought out our Omelets and they were hot which was really nice.
We had to get ourselves refills on coffee,from the Buffet. I do not know why they even have a server. The best part is ,IT IS $20.00 A PERSON FOR THIS BUFFET. I never mind paying for a good meal but, this whole thing is crazy.
I really wanted it to be good. I had been looking forward to going here for a long time. They could make a really nice place here. But, they have a lot to learn. The little blonde girl who was the hostess was literally running and helping other tables. I felt sorry for her she was doing so much, everyone else was just taking it easy. I even had to ask the hostess if we could get our bill as we never saw our server again. Till it was time to take the $$$.
We sat with dirty dishes in front of us for 17 min. while the bus boy walked back and forth past our table. I said, we are through please. You can take these dishes. He said great, and brought the dirty bus pan over to us{ with dirty dishes in it} So we could put the dishes in it.
Atrocious! Sorry to say, we will not be back. We might try the little place next door. But, The Watershed is not worth your time or money. Apparently this place has changed hands many times.This is a fairly new owner as well.
