It was a little different from other traditional lasagna soups as it had some carrots and mushrooms in it. Still very flavorful though and enjoyed their twist on it. Zuppa Toscana-This was good but it lacked some flavor. Italian Wedding- Also good but the meatballs fell a little short. Kind of hard. Would like to go back and try some more of their prepared dishes!

This is a very clean, unassuming shop that clearly is focused on their customer and their craft. Everything on the menu sounded appealing and I was happy to have some locals around to share their favorites and narrow it down for me. I loved every soup of the day that I had, loved every sandwich/wrap that I tried, and I found myself wanting to try something new in town but being unable to. I had to come back day after day. This is a great place that I plan to revisit anytime I'm in town.

The reviews on YELP were positive for The Mustard Seed, so we had to check it out for ourselves. First impression was that I LOVED the smell of the store. It smelled like patchouli, sandalwood, and palo santo. I liked the variety of vitamins and other natural products in the store, including their selection of spices and herbs. The cafe is located in the back with seating inside and outside. My husband ordered the Harvest Salad and a soup and I had the Tuna Salad on a wrap with soup. Both of our meals were excellent and what we wanted for a healthy lunch. The Thai soup was flavorful and delicious, the tuna salad was light and fresh, and the harvest salad was fresh and the mix of the Gorgonzola cheese with the apples was very good. Highly recommend if you're passing through this area!

This was a surprising gem of a find in Watertown. I was meeting a friend who is at Fort Drum, and…read morewe really wanted to get some Korean food. We were very pleased with the food, and location near the base. Many people were coming in to take out so you could tell that this is a loved spot. I ordered bibimbap and it was very very good. I typically like the dolsot bibimbap, but it was not an option, so I was surprised how good my dish was. The vegetables were fresh and well cooked, the flavors were excellent. The beef was very tasty. I also enjoyed the banchan - in particular the cucumber kimchee was fantastic. It was probably the best I've had anywhere (at least in recent memory). The regular cabbage kimchee was good too, and the pickled daikon were tangy. They offer small, medium and large sides of the banchan, and I could definitely see ordering extra of those. Our server said she makes the cucumber kimchee fresh every day multiple times a day to keep the cukes from getting soggy. My friend got the Ja Jang Myon which was very good too. The noodles were a great texture, and the portion of meat and sauce was generous. You can also get soju here! The only thing that is keeping my review from being 5 stars is the price. While I understand that these prices are probably necessary given the location, it was much higher than in a larger city such as Rochester. But other than that, I had a great experience and would come back again!

I ordered a house special bahn mi, shrimp spring rolls and house special pho. The portions were perfect and each dish was flavorful. I was especially fond of the pho all toppings and meats were well prepared. I was in town for a training and one thing to note about the pho is that it comes with broth in a quart container and all other toppings in a separate dish, condiments in a bag which didn't all fit in any of the containers provided. It was manageable but something I would not for next time to either eat in or opt out of the pho.

Before you even open the door, the vintage neon sign proudly advertising "Air Conditioned for Your Comfort" makes you smile and reminds you of an era when air conditioning was a luxury worth bragging about. Inside, the restaurant has done a wonderful job preserving its history. The original pressed tin ceiling, beautiful woodwork, mosaic tile floor, vintage lighting, and classic booths create an atmosphere that is difficult to find anymore. You can tell this isn't a place trying to look old--it is old, and it has been lovingly maintained. If you appreciate historic architecture, take a few minutes to look around. It's worth it. Service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. My daughter enjoyed her eggs, sausage, and toast, while I had a bacon, egg, and bacon sandwich on toast with mayonnaise, along with a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee. Everything was fresh and satisfying. My only minor suggestion would be that I would have liked my toast a little more done, especially since my daughter's was toasted just the way I prefer. It certainly wasn't enough to take away from the experience. The Crystal Restaurant has been serving the Watertown community since 1925, and it's easy to understand why it has become such a local landmark. Places with this much history and character are becoming increasingly rare. If you're looking for a good breakfast served in a restaurant with genuine historic charm, the Crystal Restaurant is well worth a visit.
