Went there last minute for some appetizers and drinks, not sure if we were able to get a seat because place was busy. Lucky to get a table. Had some great cocktails and some apps and some of us had dinners. Very good food and service was spot on. Place was clean and not loud. Comfortable. Will go back again. read more

I went here for a party, and it comfortably held our group of eight. Our waitress was very patient and accommodating, and they had facilities of two per gender to be used. Everything was very clean. Parking was a bit of a struggle - there was street parking above, below, and across, and a huge lot in the back. Supposedly there's a backdoor from the lower lot - those who tried found it to be locked. The food was delicious - my local burger was cooked medium, and the fries were little circles! They were well cooked but some had much more salt then others read more

We were looking for a new place to try and came across here. Service was on point, bartender very friendly, got our drinks quickly and they were tasty. The menu looked pretty good so we started with some apps. Beer cheese- definitely a different twist than I expected but it was great. Very flavorful, really beer forward. The bruschetta was ridiculously amazing!! The cucumber salsa was missing something but ok, needed some acid or heat. My disappointment started when they brought out our meal, (we still had two apps to go, I hate my meal coming out with or before the rest of our apps. I had the hot honey chicken and NE Clam chowder. The chowder was brown and was not what I was looking for, I packaged up to go. It was primarily the brown I assume the roux went farther than it should have or there is something else in it.. The hot honey chicken was ok, the chicken was paper thin , tasted mostly arugula no heat, no sweet... I'd switch out the bread for a roll next time and douse it with hot sauce. The cottage fries are out of this world and I would come back for beverages and those!! My partner had the biria sandwich which was fire, also had a salad which was really good as well. The cookies are really amazing! Actual Dessert- I am struggling with we opted for the Chocolate cake which was literally melting- did not think it was ice cream so not sure why we had a puddle in a box when we got home. I want to try other things, as we had some good and some not so good, so we'll be back and update again after another try. read more

Finally got here after having it on my list for a while. It's a very comfortable space with a tv at the bar, which is a main part of the dining room without taking away from the experience. The waitress came over quickly and was very attentive and helpful. The menu isn't big but it is eclectic and a reason to come back more than once. The food was very good. Four of us shared 3 appetizers, hummus, salmon bites, and carrots (a side that we ordered as an appetizer). Each of us got our own main. Mine was what they called basil cacio e pepe. It was good, but it wasn't done in a classic way. It was a bit "dry", but tasty. No dessert this trip but it wasn't done a nice selection. Other dishes we had in pictures and everyone likes what they had. We will definitely be back to try other things. read more

I have been going here occasionally for a Friday cocktail but realized that folks behind the bar are just not very friendly. When I am asked how I am doing, the bartender told me he was just being polite. Great bar, some good cocktails, but not very friendly with folks they don't know or care about. Just sayin'... read more

Great little spot so happy we tried it. It's a nice little neighborhood spot. Very friendly atmosphere. We had the lemon garlic hummus for a appetizer. It was the best hummus I ever had. Can't wait to go back and order it again. I had the Chicken Milanese great size portion very tasty and crispy. My husband had the NY Steak Frites done, perfect, medium well it came with crispy potatoes that were delicious . The staff were very friendly and welcoming. read more

We stopped by Local Sixty Three and were absolutely impressed! The atmosphere was cozy and lively, perfect for a casual night out. We ordered the Espresso Martinis and the Oh My Gourdness cocktails--both were phenomenal! The Espresso Martini was rich and smooth, while the Oh My Gourdness had a delightful fall-inspired twist, full of warm flavors. For food, we had all starters. We had the chicken skewers, garlic tahini dip, and pork belly. The chicken skewers were perfectly cooked, tender, and flavorful. The garlic tahini dip was creamy and paired perfectly with everything we ordered. But the real star was the pork belly--crispy on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth on the inside. If you're looking for amazing cocktails and delicious small bites, Local Sixty Three is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! The service was great ! Shout out to our Bartender Erin he was super friendly and the drinks were 10/10!! Good luck in Maine Erin read more

Invited out to dinner at the local 63. Nice open restaurant, very comfortable, great server with a friendly and engaging personality. Menu is a bit limited , not a lot of options, but some interesting selections. Drinks were well done, mixed properly and good sized. Thought the apps were fair and my Lamb Josh was tasty, but a small portion and not a lot going on with the dinner, mostly lamb and rice. Thought it was okay, but nothing wowed me. I'd go back if invited, but wouldn't select it for myself. read more

This is hands down one of my all time favorite restaurants. Food is consistently amazing. Cocktails are literally the best I have ever had and the only place I trust I'm going to like the drink. read more

Wow...a wonderful recommendation and we were very happy. The restaurant atmosphere was great. We sat at the bar to order lunch. The woman behind the bar shared specials and was excellent. We each had a cesear sald with the chicken thigh. Fried and grilled they were great. A place to go back to again. read more

Start to finish my time at The Local Sixty-Three was an elevated experience. The space is comfortable and open with plenty of space to visit with family and friends. The cocktails were so unique and creative; you could tell that the bartender truly had a passion for his craft. I indulged in the Legally Brined and loved it! This martini featured local vodka, olives, and homemade pickles. The brine was absolutely superb and was also used to dirty the martini. The Happy Hour had a variety of appetizing tacos with fresh ingredients. Additionally, everything on the menu incorporated local produce and looked delicious. The service left nothing else to be desired and I loved learning from Chris the bartender. Read more on IG: themartinibible read more

I came here for dinner after hiking Steep Rock with my husband on a Sunday. We came at the perfect time, as it wasn't busy. I started off with an Apple Cider Sangria - very festive for Fall and delish! We shared the Pork Belly Roulade, which was perfectly cooked and tasty. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Mac & Cheese, while my husband ordered the Brisket Birria Sandwich with Cottage Fries. My food was insanely good! The chicken was crispy and juicy. Although the Mac & cheese was a little watery for my liking, it had a nice punch of spice. My husband cleared his plate, so I'm assuming his meal was just as good. We ended our dinner with the Oatmeal Chocolate Cookie Bar - not our usual type of dessert, but that gooey chocolate was just what we needed. We look forward to visiting again one day! read more

Not from Watertown so we searched Yelp for a restaurant near Taft School. This place did not disappoint us in anyway. The chicken piccata was incredible. Loved the crunchiness of the bread panko chicken. Capers, pasta and sauce were perfectly balanced. The French onion soup was bountiful. Lots of flavors going on there. Could be a meal in itself The Local Sixty-Three is a must to consider if you're in the area. The atmosphere is amazing and the staff were incredible. We WILL BE BACK. read more

After an appointment in the area, my family and I decided to check out The Local Sixty Three for the first time for dinner. We instantly loved their farm to table style menu! Everything was SO delicious. We couldn't stop eating the sausage dip for an appetizer, and my chicken Milanese was delicious! The Cubano sandwich was great too. This was such a nice, casual spot that I definitely see myself come back to. Attentive staff and the food didn't take too long to come out. read more

This is a nice place with good cold beer. But the corned beef sammy I had was not quite a hit with me. The bread was good, but not the right type of bread. I think they tried to make it too fancy. I just wanted a normal deli style corned beef sandwich. read more

We loved everything we ate! The pork belly appetizer, kimchi rice, and monster Philly cheese sandwich!! Even the decaf coffee was amazing. We sat at the bar and enjoyed fantastic service on a Friday night. Get to the Local Sixty-Three! You won't regret it. read more

What a great find...tonight was our 3rd visit in about 6 months. We wondered why we did not go more often. Firstly friendly service as soon as you enter...staff extremely knowledgeable about menu, which to me means everyone takes pride in food and service. Drinks are not your usual fare....had several different ones over the visits and all were tasty. One time , when was undecided the bartender asked me what flavors and liquors I liked made a custom cocktail that was on point. We find that we are adventurous when ordering since the menu changes seasonally and have never been disappointed. Tonight I had the lamb stew, it was hot and filled with lamb and carrots. The lamb was far from games and the veg cooked perfectly. There is no reason not to like this place, great service, the menu the cookery the flavors the drinks and prices are reasonable. We had the birria sandwich, a special app, a bowl of lamb stew, side of Mac and cheese and a delicious cocktail for under 90 bucks. We will be back soon... read more

Looking for a restaurant tonight to get out of the house and this was a nice find. The service was good and attentive with our drinks coming out soon after we ordered and appetizers soon followed. We both ordered a cocktail and my wife had a Hello Sunshine and had a blood orange cranberry sour, loved them. For appetizer we had the sunchoke very unique and we couldn't stop eating it. Also the French onion, what a depth of flavor and the bread and cheese made the overall soup something I'll be back for. Entrees were the double burger which was seasoned really well and the cottage fries, brilliants mandolin slices and fried with a great texture and seasoning. I had the chicken Kim chi fried rice, excellent spice and flavor and great choice of dark meat chicken with added so much flavor. More things to try and look forward to regular monthly trip. read more
