What People Are Saying About Water Course Food

In Short – This low-key spot has a community table for those who'd rather not wait in line for their own booth. A crowd of starving vegans, righteous vegetarians, Capitol Hill residents and healthy eaters gathers here. The true gems of this earthy establishment are the French toast and buckwheat pancakes. Both are sweet and remarkable in texture and taste. The scrambled tofu is yummy. Lunch is loaded with macrobiotic plates and veggie wraps.

Food and Service-UGH!!

by H2Phillips at Citysearch

I am on a constant breakfast quest to find the best deal, best food and best service. The Water Course ran a "Blue Plate" breakfast special and I decided to give it a try. As one of the first customers one morning, I was surprised to find that they were not ready to receive customers. The coffee was not brewed and when it came it had grounds floating in it. I ordered sweet potato home fries only to find out that they cost more than the ad stated( please see the microscopic asterisk in the ad). When I agreed to pay the surcharge I was informed that the deep fryer was not on and I could not get the home fries-brown rice instead. The biscuit/scone I opted for was not fresh nor warmed to disguise that fact. The service was halfhearted and inattentive-I hate having to catch a waiter to get a coffee refill! Overall, a poor experience and one I don't wish to repeat. It's on my list!!

  • Pros: Nothing
  • Cons: Poor food, mediocre service.

service with anger and grief

by vipitch at Citysearch

I foolishly went here to pick up some vegan breakfast burritos. Boy, what a shock when the fragile, yet angry bearded boy working the counter verbally attacked me for asking his opinion on which of the dishes would be best served the next day. After being put in my place, and too shocked to flee the Water Course like any sensible person would have, I actually opted to spend money on the food (I repeat, definitly some serious shock going on)It is a sad thing when one person's bad attitude can ruin an otherwise fun experience, which is most definitly the case here. Maybe someone needs to give this little man a hug---or, gasp gasp---some bacon.

I wont be back---and I will be sure to advise any human, whether just curious or vegan, to avoid this joint at all costs.

Worst Service, Apathetic Staff

by NeverList at Citysearch

I hesitate giving Watercourse even one star because that would mean I was remotely satisfied - which I wasn't. I don't have the energy to describe everything that went wrong, but Janis S. summed it up. They are the only Vegetarian shop in town and that gives them the right to not care about customer service. The food wasn't even that good - it was cold, salty and burned (I know, how can you have burned food and still come out cold?).

Unless you have a couple hours to spare, just to be treated like an imposition - I would try something else. Its on my Never List and they ruined my girlfriend's birthday.
