Oldest Restaurant in Watertown, NY
You can only imagine what life was like in Watertown, New York in 1919 when the Crystal served its first meal. The lively city was a growing metropolis with plenty of jobs in the paper industry. The city, and the world around it have certainly changed in the last 100 years but amazingly the Crystal has held on to its origins.
The restaurant was taken over in 1944 by Nicolas and Otto Dephtereos and is still run today by the same family. Their love and devotion to the Crystal, and the people of Watertown shows up in every slice of fresh turkey that is carved and every Tom and Jerry that warms its patrons from the chilly winds of Watertown.
