- JJ .VIPDenver / Colorado •77 reviews5.0Dined on Mar 29, 2025Enjoyed happy hour on the patio while passing through the area. Olivia provided excellent service, and the drinks and food were delicious! Fantastic Old Fashioned. Great cheese curds. Prime rib was spot on. Butternut squash bucatini was OK; could’ve used more seasoning.  We’ve always enjoyed dining here when traveling. Iowa River Landing area makes a great overnight stop, and Watermill has become our go-to spot for a great, relaxing meal.More infoWatermill Kitchen + BarPrice: Moderate• American• Coralville•4.5
