New American Restaurants near Watertown, CT

“We ate here last night. The food was outstanding!! I had the beef short rib. It also came with perfectly-cooked carrots with slivers of crispy garlic, golden mashes potatoes and a delicious mushroom sauce. My husband got a wonderful cheeseburger that had a slightly toasted bun. The perfect touch to his burger. The fries were different from any I've seen before. They were the perfect side dish to his burger. Our server, RJ, was so friendly and attentive. We will ABSOLUTELY be returning as it was so hard to choose what to eat from their amazing menu! We can't wait to try the rest!“

“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.“

“We have been to Uncommon many times and the food is always amazing and we have always had a great experience all around but I want to say we had the absolute best service here tonight so I wanted to thank our server Justin D. for an outstanding dining experience tonight. Justin was professional and has a really fun personality. Even though the restaurant was crazy busy we never had to ask for anything, Justin was just there anytime we needed anything. The support staff also did an amazing job tonight as well keeping the table clear of empty glasses and dishes and running food. Just an over all lovely experience.“

“I visited the establishment today to have a meal. I ordered their wings and a grilled buffalo chicken wrap. The food was delicious. We chose to sit outside due to the pleasant weather. Unfortunately, we were seated next to an individual who was having a loud phone conversation. It would have been preferable if he had taken the call elsewhere. Despite this inconvenience, the restaurant was quite busy and the food was served hot and fresh.“

“My wife and I stayed for a weekend in the camping cottage and had a wonderful experience. As a Litchfield County native, I had heard great things through the years and it did not disappoint. The grounds are beautiful, the spa was fantastic and the cottage itself was very cool and unique. Make sure you take advantage of the breakfast during your stay, as it is not to be missed.“

“Excellent food. I loved their cold lobster roll, their Maine lobster tastes like eating Maine lobster in Maine. The lobster bomb was amazing! Even the potato salad was surprisingly great. Exceptional restaurant, and it's cool how they do things the classic way in terms of taking only cash or check instead of cards. I wish more restaurants were like this one, I'd eat here a few times every week if I lived closer.“

“My husband son and I  went to the station for Valentine's Day! We went for an early dinner to beat the crowds which was nice. G Sitting in a booth close to the patio is not recommended as you smell cigars your entire dinner. Although the drink special was too sweet and didn't care for it my chicken franchise was delicious! Our son got the chicken fingers and fries -  they should probably give more than two chicken fingers for kids and also an option for a side like a vegetable.“

“Good food Amazing bartender Good drinks I love it“

“Clean pool, healing atmosphere, my favorite getaway in CT“
