Fodor's "In a town known for its beef, WaterCourse stands out as a devoted vegetarian eatery in spacious digs uptown." Full review
Frommer's "Beloved by local vegetarians and vegans, WaterCourse is a bustling restaurant in the Uptown neighborhood that emphasizes fresh ingredients and healthful eating." Full review
