Went here for the first time today for lunch and it was AWESOME. Vibes are immaculate. Food was amazing. Server was so friendly and sweet! The Cranberry Brie Grilled Cheese was to die for! The house made Caesar salad was SO good. Even the Charcuterie sampler was amazing. Definitely going to be in my weekend rotation for a lunch spot!!

Whether you love shopping for plants or not, you have to come check out Terrace Cafe. The food and wine was phenomenal, absolutely one of the best BLTs I have ever had. The highlight for the afternoon though was our waitress, Shanie. She could teach a masterclass on customer service. Will come here again soon!

What a great experience. Presentation was dead on. Totally delicious and awesome service. Highly recommend

My mom and I dined her last weekend. It was my first time at Watson’s and both of our first time at the cafe. We had a simply lovely experience. Our server, Shanie, was caring, delightful, and made us both feel right at home. We enjoyed the grain bowl and spinach salad. The Portlandia Cabernet was delicious!! We will absolutely be back for the new menu, and to take advantage of the happy hour. Highly recommend.

We hosted our first annual company party at Watsons, and it was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Terrace Cafe did an outstanding job, and Chef Jordan Fisher absolutely blew us away—the food was exceptional. Every guest left full, happy, and raving about the meal. The festive holiday décor throughout Watsons added a magical touch to the atmosphere, making the night even more memorable. Flawless execution, warm ambiance, and top-tier hospitality. We’ll definitely be back next year!
