Always delicious!

I love coming here whenever we are in the area. So many good options. The restaurant has continued to evolve over time, but the quality and service never do!

Kind of downhill

This place has gone kind of downhill in the past few years in my opinion AND the prices have increased. Ordered the mushroom burrito today and it was just bland and very unexciting. I asked for hot sauce to improve the experience and it was barely spicy, the atmosphere is great but I won’t be coming back for the food anytime soon

What happened to the service

What a weird experience! We have been coming for years, and we were super disappointed that their service staff is mostly gone.
You come in, no one is there to seat you, and then at your table there are some “postcards, telling you to get your water, order online, and you have to find your own utensils!
But did the prices go down? No, same prices for a pretty unwelcoming experience.
Won’t e back until they bring their staff back.

Get the Chocolate Chip Cookie

Really lovely all vegan place that I visited twice while I was in Denver.

Between my two visits, I got the gnocchi with sweet potato sauce, the Cuban sandwich, ginger beer, and the giant chocolate chip cookie. All of it was really great, but I think the gnocchi was my favorite of the two entrees. The ginger beer is not super gingery, tastes like Fevertree. The chocolate chip cookie with sea salt is an absolute must! It comes wrapped so I took mine back to the hotel to share with my non-veg husband after he got back from his work conference dinners and he said they were the best chocolate chip cookies he'd ever had! Also, I think it's fun that the plates are made to look like wood, but aren't.

The first time I came it had been pouring rain, so the restaurant wasn't as full and it was very easy to find an open table, but the second time it was positively packed, and both times were week nights, so I suspect this place is pretty popular with the locals. I like that the ordering is done through QR code and website, since that would make it easy for groups and means you don't have to all know what you want at the same time (or, if dining solo as I was, you don't need to interact as much with staff, which is sometimes a blessing). Several members of the staff wore face masks, which I appreciated, and there were some nice paintings on the walls from local artists for sale.

If I am ever in Denver again, I think I would really like to come back here--and I'd definitely get the chocolate chip cookie every time!

Pros: QR Code Menu w/Opt. to Order as Group or Separate, All Vegan, Friendly Staff

Cons: Can be Crowded

Great Seitan wings!

The owner is super nice. I asked for more of the brie, bc I couldn't taste it in the sandwich and he brought a full extra plate!

Pros: Seitan wings, Turkey brie, Fries

Cons: Cuban

Less than fair

I heard this place was an amazing place with amazing delicious food.
Top ranked according to HappyCow.
Though last week they say table serve stopped though they did have great staff, and the manager took the time to hear the challenges.
Mac N cheez was something like buttered noodles.
The other entree was fair at best.

I hope owner upgrades rather than subtract. Make this place amazing again.

Pros: Staff were fine.

Cons: Mac n cheese

Cauliflower Wings 🤤

The tofu Caesar salad wrap was tasty, but the star of the meal was definitely the cauliflower wings — absolutely delicious and perfectly crispy.

Amazing!

Everything was so tasty! My wife said, "these are the best fried mushrooms I've ever had!" She got the Southern Plate.

Mac n cheese and gnocchi were delicious as well.

PB chocolate milkshake and cupcakes were scrumptious!

A Denver Classic

The first restaurant I went to in Denver was the old Watercourse, located where City O' City is now. I ordered the Amsterdam Hash and loved every gravy-drenched bite of it. The Amsterdam Hash, the old booths, and even the owners are long gone now.

In it's place is a restaurant that has gone through many a metamorphosis, landing at its current incarnation sometime after Covid maybe.

It's still the place I bring my kids to when they crave hot chocolate or a milkshake. When we are craving seitan wings, we head on over. Not going to lie, though, I do miss the Amsterdam Hash. ;)

Pros: shakes, seitan wings, outside seating

All plant based

Good that it is all plant based, no worries. Food is less than spectacular, though.

Pros: Big menu, Inventive, Atmosphere/ outdoor seating

Cons: Expensive, So so good

Okay food, but overpriced

The food wasn’t bad but I wasn’t too impressed with portions and quality. Southern plate was okay taste-wise, nothing too special and I was still hungry after the meal. Risotto was okay too but pretty oily. There’s outdoor seating which is nice.

Pros: Outdoor seating

Cons: Too oily, Small portions

Scrumptious!

Wow, they got the know-how to cook vegan food!
The Southern Plate was my absolute favourite. Try also the cauli-wings.

Awesome All Vegan Spot

Awesome stop with so many good options. They had several tempting sandwiches I wanted to try, but I eventually landed on the Turkey Brie sandwich with Fig Jam - which was excellent! The non-vegan in our group really enjoyed their Philly as well. 🙌🏻

(Bonus points for the vanilla cold brew the large dog friendly patio!)

Pros: Tons of Classic Sandwich Options 🥪, Dog Friendly Seating 🐶, The Best Sweet Potato Fries 😋

Cons: I’ve had better Cauli wings, pick something else!

Amazing

All the sushi I've seen for vegans was extremely boring and inauthentic. This place was a COMPLETE 180 to that. Deep, rich and varied flavors with a range of textures too, just amazing. A really treat honestly.

I think you've posted this in the wrong place. Looks like you went to Wellness Sushi not Watercourse. Watercourse has never had sushi.

Yummmm

Second time here from out of state. Wanted to try a bunch of stuff, but decided on the turkey & brie sandwich. Glad I did! It was delicious, flavorful, and filling. Not something you can get everywhere. I chose a salad as my side and it was bigger than I expected. 😋 Also got a mango iced tea to drink, and they gave me a refill to go. 🙂!

Excellent service

Lovely restaurant! I ordered the Denver Omelette and it arrived pretty quickly. However, it didn't have any seitan - which was the first ingredient in the list of toppings, so pretty noticeable. I asked the waiter about it and he immediately went to the kitchen to get me a portion of seitan on the side at no additional cost. It was pretty tasty and the omelette was also really good! Very creamy and cheesy. I was already quite full after the main dish (so much potato!) but couldn't leave without trying one of their beautiful desserts. I had the tres leches cupcakes, and oh my! What a treat! Moist, sweet, and just delicious. A great meal overall!

Get the Philly

Delicious lunch and lovely staff. Philly was smoky, filling, not greasy. Generous portions with the side salad. We will be back when we’re in town next!

My absolute favorite restaurant

After years of hearing recommendations to eat here, I finally did. Do not delay! You will not regret. Everything was absolutely delicious! I had no regrets over the bill, which regret over the bill is common these days. My table shared a special street corn risotto, seitan wings and cauliflower wings, house ranch, as well as a special butternut soup of the day.. and of course for dessert we shared a tres leches cupcake. Absolutely delicious. Every bite. The atmosphere was wonderful as well. We were sat next to the plant wall, which was beautiful! I can’t say enough about this place!

Solid vegan spot

This place has an extensive brunch, lunch, and dinner menu that looks amazing. I ordered the turkey and Brie sandwich which was made of sliced seitan. It was tasty but also pretty greasy and the fries that came with it were meh.
