“Outstanding restaurant! (and we do a lot of our dining in NYC!) Local 63 is an oasis in Watertown, CT in a variety of ways. The food is creative (even when the dish SOUNDS traditional). The chicken fried steak (hard to even find in New England) is outstanding. The salads were awesome: perfectly dressed with great crunch and freshness. The Cassoulet (originally a French farmhouse dish) with chicken, in-house sausage, and white beans cooked to perfection is something you will not find in many other places. Great bar--friendly atmosphere and great for large groups and celebrations. This is a hidden gem with excellent service and owners who obviously care! I will go back and bring many other guests here when I have a chance.”

7 Mamajuana Cafe Waterbury

3.8 Good 286 Reviews

950 Wolcott Street, Waterbury · 6.37 miles

• Delivery

“My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant after being very disappointed with an experience ordering margaritas at a nearby restaurant. The first thing we noticed was the lively and fun atmosphere. We sat at the bar and had a couple of perfectly made cocktails. We liked the music and when looking around we saw everyone enjoying themselves. Then we saw the staff getting pulled together and getting instruments and drums, not knowing what was coming next, and then witness the most amazing happy birthday celebration at the table behind us. We’ve been lucky to see this each time we’ve visited. The food plating is very impressive, and so far, the best meal I’ve hade there is the seafood paella which can feed 3-4 people. This is a fun spot whether I’m you are celebrating a big event or even just stopping in for a drink.”
