Experience elevated simplicity and authenticity in every bite.
From pristine local watershed harvests to your table | Crafted with Love
Welcome to Watershed – your new favorite Restaurant in Newmarket, NH.
The opening of our new restaurant in Newmarket is not only a watershed event in Seacoast dining but also a watershed moment in our life journey. Our aptly named Watershed Restaurant has designed its food, setting, atmosphere, and tasteful architecture to highlight the remarkable resources of our local surroundings.
The restaurant's true origins can be traced to the Lamprey River itself. This river travels 47 miles through 14 towns before becoming tidal in Newmarket and then another three miles before emptying into the coastal estuary known as Great Bay. It represents one of the state’s true ecological gems and is recognized locally and nationally.
For centuries, this watershed has provided a boundless variety of seafood and local farm food for the greater Seacoast region.
Watershed Restaurant's distinctive cuisine, atmosphere, and service draw upon and extend this tradition, offering creative options highlighting traditional ingredients and flavors. Like the succulent oysters on our menu, Watershed Restaurant at the Mills captures and filters the bounty of our watershed region: our local farms and fields – clean, simple, authentic seasonal, regional food “from the watershed to the Watershed.”
We welcome you all and hope that you will feel at home here.
