    I don’t commonly write reviews, but my wife and I had a great date. We don’t get out often and date nights become more pivotal, so it meant a lot to have a great experience. Great vibe, every bite of food was excellent - Baked Feta appy, Steak and Sea Bass was our order. Home run on all of it. Downtown vibe in Markham - a niche success. Well done, Watercolour. We’ll be back.

    I’m not one to leave reviews, however the food was simply amazing—everything was flavourful and well-prepared. The standout feature was the service! Allie was our host, she was such a friendly and knowledgeable waitress. Very accommodating when it comes to food allergies. I want to ensure places like this thrive. With great food, reasonable prices, and genuinely kind staff, it’s a must-visit!
