Watercourse, on 17th & Emerson, is my absolute FAVORITE restaurant! They offer an almost entirely vegan menu (with the exception of a few sauces that are made with some dairy products.) I've had both lunch and dinner there & every visit has been a great experience. The food is delicious (very much worth trying, even for you vegan skeptics out there!) They offer a great selection of wine & beer, and everything is very reasonably priced. #Uptown
