Excellent! - Edit
I had the blackened tofu wrap and my friend, the Philly sandwich. Both were phenomenal. For dessert, we shared a chocolate shake and a pumpkin frosted cookie. This place is a ‘must-visit’ for any vegan visiting Denver and of course for Denver residents. I loved it! Oh and the service was great!

Good brunch! - Edit
I got the brunch plate and it was pretty good! The portion size was great and I had plenty of leftovers. The roasted potatoes were so good and their homemade chicken patty was also great. The scrambled tofu was okay, not super flavorful but better than most.

I also got the pumpkin chai latte and it was great.
Pros: Roasted potatoes , Good portions
Cons: Too salty

Damn… - Edit
Only had time for one meal in town and chose Watercourse. Had the Classic Philly and it was fantastic. Wish I lived nearby so I could try other foods on the menu that also looked incredible!

Excellent happy hour - Edit
Just happened to get here for happy hour and it was an essential surprise! Ordered the Cuban, wings and a cocktail all for a cheap price. Cuban was deliciously mustardy with great texture on the seitan. Will definitely go again.

Great spot to take non-vegans - Edit
Impeccable service, great drinks, and vibe. Most of the dishes are imitation meats and vegan takes on classic comfort food which really helps introduce people to veganism. I got the cauliflower wings and orange teriyaki, both were delicious.

Great - Edit
- Chicken and waffles - great. I subbed a house salad for the chicken which I was happy they could accommodate.
Read more- caramel milkshake - great.
They use sugar not refined with animal bone char! Though they snuck in a 7% extra gratuity charge on the receipt. Wasnt clear if that should be accounted for in the server tip. If they are going to try to mix up the paradigm, they should just raise prices and make it clear they pay everyone a liveable wage so tips are not reccomend, like other places do, and benefit from minimal turnover.

Amazing cauliflower “wings”! - Edit
A nicer, sit-down restaurant. We loved the buffalo “wings” and orange teriyaki “wings!” The gyro and Caesar salad were pretty good.

Normally I regret buying TOO MUCH at vegan places, here I regret not buying more - Edit
No one hyped up the Reuben like it deserved. Thats one of the best things I’ve eaten in my life!!!! I also got the breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. The chicken sandwich was good but not worth it when the Reuben was an option. The churro cannolis are unbelievable. I will go back anytime I’m ever even close to Denver.

Always delicious - Edit
We got the orange teriyaki bowl and the gyro. I miss when they had bbq jackfruit and the whole deli but Watercourse is still consistently delicious and a great experience.

It's good - Edit
I had to try this top vegan restaurant in Denver. Quesadilla filling was kinda odd, didn't seem very cheesy, but still tasty. Mac was alright. I really loved the maple Dijon salad dressing! Unfortunately I didn't get to have a cocktail but the hibiscus tea was refreshing. Restaurant is spacious and they have a bar. I ate at a weird time, like 2-3pm on a Friday, so they were not busy.

Watercourse is Worth It - Edit
We walked from Downtown Denver on a weekday to enjoy lunch at Watercourse. It was worth the hot summer walk! The portions are great and each dish was delicious. The pickled celery with the Cauliflower Wings was a clever and tasty add on. 😋

Vegan OG, new menu smaller - Edit
Smaller menu removed some of my favorites. Still quality but some portion sizes are quite small given the prices. Shakes are fantastic. Seitan wings are a must order every time. Cocktail menu is creative.

Great meal, friendly atmosphere - Edit
Loved the variety of dishes. Hubby had the gyro and I had the Caesar and Mac n cheese. All were very good. The seitan in the gyro could have been more flavorful, but it was still really good. Friendly service and good vibe. Excellent cupcakes (the tres leches was to die for!-but luckily all vegan so nothing suffered)!!

Hit and miss - Edit
We got the cauliflower wings to start and the. The quesadilla and seitan gyro. The cauliflower wings were pretty good and they came with celery pickles that I really enjoyed. They came with ranch though instead of blue cheese and we prefer blue cheese. The seitan gyro was very bland and I wouldn’t recommend it. The seitan tasted like it was just a mix of water and gluten with no seasoning at all. The tiny bit of tzatziki did nothing to rescue it. Even the red wine vinaigrette that came with my side salad tasted like oil with maybe a hint of vinegar. My partner liked the quesadilla but I don’t like cheese much, so it wasn’t for me. It at least had more flavor than my gyro. Overall I was pretty disappointed but my partner thought it was all right. I might be convinced to give them another try and order something different.

Terrible service from nice people - Edit
I have been here about 12 or so times.
Read more2024 update:
I attempted to give this place another chance after a couple year break. It was not worth it... Service still sucks and food is not great. Salad was the best part. They at least fixed the oil for the fries so those are not as bad. I did family style ordering of five different dishes and shared with all of them. It was a mixture of too oily, bland, and burnt. Service is still horrible to where I got my food before I got my drink and I had to remind her that I did order a drink.
I feel like I get better service at a fast food restaurant than I do at this fake full service restaurant.
Even though the service was mostly [censored], a few of the employees were very happy and helpful. A lot better than prior experiences.
2022: service charge automatically added to bill for service the is worse than majority of restaurants. The server can't even give you a drink. The server has to ask the bar to make or refill the drink (even if just a soda) and it takes forever! Even when slow. And when you ask about your drink after waiting for over 10 minutes, the server acts like it is impossible for him/her to help because that task of filling 4oz of soda into a glass is only possible by one person... Even when that person is on a break!? Why can't a server help during that time? I do not understand this weird and strong enforcement of separation of duties. It is hot and dry in Colorado! Drink management needs to be changed.
The food overall is way too greased and processed. Not very many healthy options.
