We visited Watermark for the first time and were fortunate to have made it before they closed. We had reservations and were promptly greeted and seated by a hospitable host. Our waiter, Hayden, was knowledgeable and provided excellent suggestions. He checked on us just enough to make us feel well cared for without being intrusive. The food was fantastic; I particularly enjoyed the meatloaf Wellington and the chocolate torte. My partner ordered the Key Lime Napoleon, which was so delicious that I wish I had ordered it, too.Thank you, Watermark, for a wonderful experience.
We unfortunately only made it once we heard they were closing, but the food, service and atmosphere was wonderful! Sad we won't be able to frequent it!

This is a restaurant my family and I have visited many times. We have always enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. My sister even had her bridal shower here. Tonight while dining, the server (Michael) opened the check envelope and questioned our tip in front of my family and I, to our face. We tipped near 20% on the food and drink. We did however purchase a gift card, which we did not tip on, as it required no effort by the server himself (I work as a server at a restaurant and do not expect tips on gift cards, especially when they total high amounts such as $50+). The server (Michael) opened our check in front of us before we left and said “well it says only 10%?”. This is extremely unprofessional, as we gave him a very generous amount on the food and drink tab. This left my parents and our family embarrassed. It is astonishing that a service worker who is being tipped on a bill over $100 questions our tip and shows petty behavior when all they did is bring one round of drink and one round of food dishes. When we told him we tipped on the food and drink and not gift card, he said “it’s fine” and walked away. I would like to note that this is a man over 60 years of age. This is a horrible representation of the restaurant and we will not be returning strictly on his behavior, which is disappointing as we love the food at watermark and love to support local businesses.

Chef/owner Maria Walusis has done an amazing job with Watermark. The very comfortable atmosphere is exceeded only by the delightful menu. Always available is the "chef's whim" as well as seasonal specialties. Right now, it's a Veal Schnitzel that compares quite favorably with any I have ever had during my many trips to Germany. The Great Miami Burger is probably the best in the entire Dayton area, even including the one at The Pine Club. And the Wellington Meat Loaf is great comfort food. Excellent bar choices, too.

Had a reservation for 7:30. Was very excited as we had never been before. Got there was told the kitchen was backed up would we mind having a seat at the bar!! Absolutely no problem we will get a drink before dinner. Sit at the bar 2 people walk past even the person in the yellow leather jacket that told us kitchen was backed up !! never even look at us or as asked us if we would like a drink. Absolutely terrible customer service. Definitely not somewhere I will be in a hurry to return to. It was not till we got up to walk out that someone noticed!!! A bit late .

Came here for Corey Tucker performing, and not only was the music and atmosphere phenomenal. The food was perfect. Had the meatloaf and the fish and chips. Presentation and taste were so elogant and well done. Even the drinks were on point.

The service was great however the food was lacking. The Wiener schnitzel was tough and pretty flavorless and the "warm" potato salad was cold. I tasted my sons crab cakes and they were pretty good, the hamburger that my daughter in law had was lackluster and the fish and chips that my husband ordered were just so-so. The French fries and pub fries were soggy. I think the best things on the table were my grandsons chicken tenders (the batter was delicious) and the ice cream. When making the reservation, I put down that we were coming for a birthday; nobody said a thing about it until I mentioned something. The employees were awesome but I don't think we'll be back.

Great date night. Food was absolutely amazing and the company was better. The bartender, Sidney, was such a treasure. Thank you watermark for a wonderful evening. I had the chefs whim and it was on point! We both love the goat cheese crochets.
We got the fall chefs whim with the paired drink. It was all

Superb service. Outstanding food. The seasonal pumpkin moose dessert was one of the best desserts I've ever enjoyed. Highly recommended.

My wife and I was visiting from Cleveland and after much discussion decided on your restaurant. I have to say it was a terrible choice. We had the fish and chips which was mediocre and overpriced. The service was great, wish the food had been. The one good thing about our experience is the next time we visit our daughter and son in law, we've crossed the Watermark off our places to eat.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! We had a wedding rehearsal dinner (over 30 people) there and everything was excellent! Working with Chef Maria was wonderful! She helped make everything just what we wanted and was flexible and accommodating to our needs. The appetizers were wonderful and the meals were delicious! We had great service,too! We will definitely go back when we visit the Dayton area!
It was okay.
